=1. 6. 131, 2 And such As cannot vse the present, are not wise.= Cf. _Underwoods_ 36. 21: To use the present, then, is not abuse. =1. 6. 138 Nay, then, I taste a tricke in’t.= Cf. ‘I do taste this as a trick put on me.’ _Ev. Man in_, _Wks._ 1. 133. See Introduction, p. xlvii. =1. 6. 142 cautelous.= For similar uses of the word cf. Massinger, _City Madam_, _Wks._, p. 321, and B. & Fl., _Elder Brother_, _Wks._ 10. 275. Gifford gives an example from Knolles, _Hist. of the Turks,_ p. 904. =1. 6. 149 MAN. Sir, what doe you meane? 153 MAN. You must play faire, S^r.= ‘I am not certain about the latter of these two speeches, but it is perfectly unquestionable that the former _must_ have been spoken by the husband Fitzdottrel.’--C. Cunningham may be right, but the change is unnecessary if we consider Manly’s reproof as occasioned by Fitzdottrel’s interruption. =1. 6. 158, 9 No wit of man= =Or roses can redeeme from being an Asse.= ‘Here is an allusion to the metamorphosis of Lucian into an _ass_; who being brought into the theatre to shew tricks, recovered his human shape by eating some _roses_ which he found there. See the conclusion of the treatise, _Lucius, sive Asinus_.’--W. See Lehman’s edition, Leipzig, 1826, 6. 215. As Gifford says, the allusion was doubtless more familiar in Jonson’s day than in our own. The story is retold in Harsnet’s _Declaration_ (p. 102), and Lucian’s work seems to have played a rather important part in the discussion of witchcraft. =1. 6. 161 To scape his lading.= Cf. note 1. 4. 72. =1. 6. 180 To other ensignes.= ‘I. e., to horns, the Insignia of a cuckold.’--G. =1. 6. 187 For the meere names sake.= ‘I. e. the name of the play.’--W. =1. 6. 195 the sad contract.= See variants. W. and G. are doubtless correct. =1. 6. 214 a guilt caroch.= ‘There was some distinction apparently between _caroch_ and _coach_. I find in Lord Bacon’s will, in which he disposed of so much imaginary wealth, the following bequest: “I give also to my wife my four coach geldings, and my best caroache, and her own coach mares and caroache.”’--C. Minsheu says that a carroch is a great coach. Cf. also Taylor’s _Wks._, 1630: No coaches, or carroaches she doth crave. _Rom Alley_, _O. Pl._, 2d ed., 5. 475: No, nor your jumblings, In horslitters, in coaches or caroches. _Greene’s Tu Quoque_, _O. Pl._, 2d ed., 7. 28: May’st draw him to the keeping of a coach For country, and carroch for London. Cf. also Dekker, _Non-dram. Wks._ 1. 111. Finally the matter is settled by Howes (p. 867), who gives the date of the introduction of coaches as 1564, and adds: ‘Lastly, euen at this time, 1605, began the ordinary use of Caroaches.’ In _Cyn. Rev._, _Wks._ 2. 281, Gifford changes _carroch_ to _coach_.
