[Footnote A: Contraction for “man.”]
[Footnote B: _I.e._, Faux.]
[Footnote C: Gravelyng would be Gravelines in France. Most probably “the
man supposed of great import,” who “went disguised,” accompanied by
Fawkes, was one of the principal conspirators, perhaps Thomas Winter or
John Wright. I suspect their errand was to buy fresh gunpowder through
Captain Hugh Owen. Notice “Vacation,” 1605.]

Gravelyng and others.
