p. 350, l. 24 _Another Chamber._ I have supplied this locale.
p. 351, l. 10 _another._ 4to 1696 adds to this stage direction ‘Sir
Mer. together.’
p. 352, l. 7 _a Tendre._ 1724 omits ‘a’.
+ACT III: Scene i+
p. 353, l. 11 _too._ 4to 1696 ‘to’.
p. 354, l. 2 _A rich Chamber._ I have supplied this locale.
p. 358, l. 4 _Expectations._ 1724 ‘Expectation’.
p. 358, l. 34 _Olivia enters._ 4to 1696 reads ‘Enter Olivia with a
letter. Olivia gives Welborn the letter.’
p. 359, l. 33 _Enter Sir Morgan._ Before the couplet 4to 1696
repeats ‘Sir Morg. and Sir Merl. singing.’
p. 360, l. 10 _de._ 1724 here and elsewhere ‘d’ye’.
+ACT III: Scene ii+
p. 362, l. 18 _you._ 4to 1696 ‘thou’.
+ACT III: Scene iii+
p. 363, l. 17 _Whither?_ 4to 1696 ‘Whether?’
p. 367, l. 26 _Exeunt._ I have added this stage direction.
+ACT IV: Scene i+

Mirtilla’.

and Ruines’.
p. 374, l. 8 _Racks._ 4to 1696 ‘Wrecks’.
p. 374, l. 35 _feebly._ 1724 ‘freely’. A patent error.
p. 375, l. 4 _near to being._ 1724 ‘near being’.
p. 375, l. 33 _Exeunt._ Not in 4to 1696.
+ACT IV: Scene ii+
p. 376, l. 1 _Scene II._ I have numbered this scene, and the
following (p. 378, l. 16.) Scene III.

p. 398, l. 26 _Fough, how he stinks!_ 4to 1696 ‘Fough, he how he
stinks?’
