We are in doubt here as to which is the reading of Mr Collier's MS. Corrector, for in his edition of Coleridge's Lectures he gives it, 'To leave's a thousand times more bitter, than Sweet, &c.' while in the second edition of his Shakespeare he quotes it as follows: 'To leave's a thousand-fold more better, than 'Tis sweet, &c.' NOTE IV. II. 3. 103. Mr Collier says, "If the blood of Anne Bullen had saluted or welcomed the news,--'If my blood salute this a jot--' there would have been no difficulty." It is not clear whether Mr Collier intends this as a conjectural emendation or not. NOTE V. II. 3. The stage direction which we have given from the Folios has been variously altered. The only important change which Capell introduces is in making the Archbishop of Canterbury follow the Bishops. The alteration 'between' for 'below' appeared in Reed's edition of 1803, and has been followed by some modern editors. NOTE VI. II. 4. 75. This line appears to have been accidentally omitted by the printer of the edition by Johnson, who, without taking the trouble to refer even to Warburton's text, conjectured that the passage was corrupt and proposed to read: 'Nay, before.-- Induc'd by potent circumstances, that You are my enemy, I make my challenge. You shall not be my judge.' NOTE VII. II. 4. 182. Mr Collier, in his 2nd edition, says, "We are quite satisfied that Theobald was right in reading 'The bottom of my conscience.'" Theobald does not adopt the conjecture in his text. His note is as follows: "Tho this reading be sense, and therefore I have not ventur'd to displace it; yet, I verily believe, the poet wrote; 'The bottom of my conscience,--' My reason is this. Shakespeare in all his historical plays was a most diligent observer of Hollingshead's Chronicle; and had him always in eye, wherever he thought fit to borrow any matter from him. Now Hollingshead, in the speech which he has given to King Henry upon this subject, makes him deliver himself thus. 'Which words, once conceived within the secret bottom of my conscience, ingendred such a scrupulous doubt, that my conscience was incontinently accombred, vex'd, and disquieted.'" Theobald appears to have forgotten that the emendation was suggested to him by Dr Thirlby. See Nichols' _Illustrations_, II. p. 461. NOTE VIII. III. 2. 192. The first and second folios, which in so doubtful a case we have followed, read: 'that am, have, and will be (Though ... horrid) yet my duty, &c.' The third and fourth extend the parenthesis so as to include line 198, '(Though ... break).' Rowe reads: 'that am I, have been, and will be: Though ... horrid; yet, my duty, &c.' Pope: 'that am I, have been, will be:' pointing the rest with Rowe. Capell, reading as the folios, puts a full stop at 'be,' line 192, and a semicolon at 'horrid,' line 196. Mason proposes to omit the words 'that am, have, and will be,' because he can find no meaning in them.
