I had already arrived at the same conclusion before reading Cunningham’s note. The _NED._ gives: ‘Pan. A hollow or depression in the ground, esp. one in which water stands. 1594 Plat, _Jewell-ho_ 1. 32 Of all Channels, Pondes, Pooles, Riuers, and Ditches, and of all other pannes and bottomes whatsoeuer.’ _Pan_, however, is also an obsolete form of _pane_, a cloth or skirt. The use is evidently a quibble. The word _pan_ suggested to Jonson the word _skirt_, which he accordingly employed not unaptly. =2. 1. 63 his black bag of papers, there, in Buckram.= The buckram bag was the usual sign of the pettifogger. Cf. Marston, _Malcontent_, _Wks._ 1. 235: _Pass._ Ay, as a pettifogger by his buckram bag. Dekker, _If this be not a good Play_, _Wks._ 3. 274: ‘We must all turn pettifoggers and in stead of gilt rapiers, hang buckram bags at our girdles.’ Nash refers to the same thing in _Pierce Pennilesse_, _Wks._ 2. 17. =2. 1. 64 th’ Earledome of Pancridge.= Pancridge is a corruption of Pancras. The Earl of Pancridge was ‘one of the “Worthies” who annually rode to Mile End, or the Artillery Ground, in the ridiculous procession called _Arthurs Shew_’ (G.). Cf. _To Inigo Marquis Would-be_, _Wks._ 8. 115: Content thee to be Pancridge earl the while. _Tale Tub_, _Wks._ 6. 175: --next our St. George, Who rescued the king’s daughter, I will ride; Above Prince Arthur. _Clench._ Or our own Shoreditch duke. _Med._. Or Pancridge earl. _Pan._ Or Bevis or Sir Guy. For _Arthur’s Show_ see Entick’s _Survey_ 1. 497; Wh-C. 1. 65; and Nares 1. 36. Cf. note 4. 7. 65· =2. 1. 71, 2 Your Borachio Of Spaine.= ‘“_Borachio_ (says Min-shieu) is a bottle commonly of a pigges skin, with the hair inward, dressed inwardly with rozen, to keep wine or liquor sweet:”--Wines preserved in these bottles contract a peculiar flavour, and are then said _to taste of the borachio_.’--G. Florio says: ‘a boracho, or a bottle made of a goates skin such as they vse in Spaine.’ The word occurs somewhat frequently (see _NED._) and apparently always with this meaning, or in the figurative sense of ‘drunkard’. It is evident, however, from Engine’s question, ‘Of the King’s glouer?’ either that it is used here in a slightly different sense, or more probably that Merecraft is relying on Fitzdottrel’s ignorance of the subject. Spanish leather for wearing apparel was at this time held in high esteem. See note 4. 4. 71, 2. =2. 1. 83 a Harrington.= ‘In 1613, a patent was granted to John Stanhope, lord Harrington, Treasurer of the Chambers, for the coinage of royal farthing tokens, of which he seems to have availed himself with sufficient liberality. Some clamour was excited on the occasion: but it speedily subsided; for the Star Chamber kept a watchful eye on the first symptoms of discontent at these pernicious indulgences. From this nobleman they took the name of Harrington in common conversation.’--G.
