Hall’s _Chronicle_ (Hen. viii.), fol. xiii. ed. 1548. “His fortunatest piece I esteem the taking of _Cadiz Malez_.” _A Parallel of the Earl of Essex and the Duke of Buckingham_,—_Reliquiæ Wottonianæ_, p. 177. ed. 1672.

Hearne, and the various passages cited in Tyrwhitt’s _Gloss._ to Chaucer’s _Cant. Tales_ in v. _Tough_. Palsgrave has “I _Make it tough_ I make it coye as maydens do or persons that be strange if they be asked a questyon.” _Lesclar. de la Lang. Fr._, 1530. fol. ccxcii. (Table of Verbes). ON TYME.

With the opening of this piece compare Hawes’s _Conuercyon of Swerers_, where Christ is made to exclaim, “They newe agayne do hange me on the rode, They tere my sydes, and are nothynge dysmayde, My woundes they do open, and deuoure my blode: I, god and man, moost _wofully arayde_, To you complayne, _it maye not be denayde_; Ye nowe to lugge me, ye tere me at the roote, Yet I to you am chefe refuyte and bote.” and a little after, “Why arte thou _harde herted_,” &c. Sig. A iii. ed. n. d. 4to. Barclay too has, “Some sweareth armes, nayles, heart, and body, Tearing our Lorde worse then the Jewes him _arayde_.” _The Ship of Fooles_, fol. 33. ed. 1570. _Woffully araid_ is, I believe, equivalent to—wofully disposed of or treated, in a woful condition. “_Araye_ condicion or case _poynt_.” Palsgrave’s _Lesclar. de la Lang. Fr._, 1530. fol. xviii. (Table of Subst.)—(and see note, p. 164. v. 163). “_Isaac._ What have I done, fader, what have I saide? _Abraham._ Truly, no kyns ille to me. _Isaac._ And thus gyltles shalle be _arayde_.”
