p. 44, l. 1 Thou wou’t. 4to 1677. 1724 wrongly reads ‘won’t’. 1735 ‘Thou’lt’.

p. 45, l. 8 ago. 4to 1677. 1724 misprints ‘go’.

p. 47, l. 26 starts. 4tos read ‘stares’ but I retain 1724 ‘starts’ as more appropriate.

p. 47, l. 31 Expect! 1724 gives this speech as prose. I follow metrical division of 4tos.

p. 49, l. 16 rally. 1724 misprints ‘railly’.

p. 52, l. 5 Exeunt. 1724 omits this necessary stage direction.
