V. 3. 66. Steevens, in his edition of 1778, says, 'The modern editors read:--_transgressing_.' The only edition in which we have found this reading is that of Johnson and Steevens, 1773. NOTE XXX. V. 3. 137. Theobald reads: 'But for our trusty brother-in-law,--the Abbot,' and adds in a note: 'Without these marks of disjunction, ... the abbot here mention'd and Bolingbroke's brother-in-law seem to be one and the same person: but this was not the case.... The brother-in-law, meant, was John Duke of Exeter and Earl of Huntingdon, (own brother to King Richard II.) and who had married with the lady Elizabeth sister to Henry of Bolingbroke.' NOTE XXXI. V. 3. 144. 'Cousin too, adieu,' which is generally attributed to Theobald, is really the reading of the Quarto of 1634 (Q₅). Perhaps the line may be amended thus: 'Uncle, farewell; farewell, aunt; cousin, adieu.' Many as harsh-sounding lines may be found, and it seems only consonant with good manners that the king should take leave of his aunt as well as of the others. There is a propriety too in his using a colder form of leave-taking to his guilty cousin than to his uncle and aunt. NOTE XXXII. V. 4. 94. Mr Staunton says that Q₁ reads 'Spurn'd, gall'd.' Our copy has 'Spurrde, galld.' Though 'Spur-gall'd' is an extremely probable correction, we adhere to our rule of following the higher authority whenever it seems to yield a reasonable sense.
