[Footnote 138: same: So 4tos 1616, 1624.--Not in 4to 1631.]
[Footnote 139: at the hard heels: The modern editors, ignorant of the old
phraseology, thought that they corrected this passage in printing
"hard at the heels."]
[Footnote 140: Vintner: So all the old eds.; and presently Robin addresses
this person as "vintner:" yet Dick has just spoken of him as "the
Vintner's boy." See note ||, p. 93.
Note ||, from p. 93. (Doctor Faustus, from the quarto of 1604):
"Drawer: There is an inconsistency here: the Vintner cannot
properly be addressed as "Drawer." The later 4tos are also
inconsistent in the corresponding passage: Dick says, "THE
VINTNER'S BOY follows us at the hard heels," and immediately
the "VINTNER" enters." ]
[Footnote 141: your: So 4tos 1616, 1631.--Not in 4to 1624.]
[Footnote 142: much: Equivalent to--by no means, not at all. This ironical
exclamation is very common in our old dramatists. (Mr. Hunter,
--NEW ILLUST. OF SHAKESPEARE, ii. 56,--explains it very differently.)]
[Footnote 143: By lady: i.e. By our Lady.]

[Footnote 151: renowm'd: Old eds. "renown'd"; but earlier, p. 109, first
col., 4to 1616 has "renowm'd": see note 23 and see note ||, p. 11.
Note ||, from p. 11. (The First Part of Tamburlaine the
Great):
"renowmed: i.e. renowned.--So the 8vo.--The 4to "renowned."
--The form "RENOWMED" (Fr. RENOMME) occurs repeatedly
afterwards in this play, according to the 8vo. It is
occasionally found in writers posterior to Marlowe's
time. e.g.
"Of Constantines great towne RENOUM'D in vaine."
Verses to King James, prefixed to Lord Stirling's
MONARCHICKE TRAGEDIES, ed. 1607." ]
