[13] Found.
[14] [Vele's ed. _nilet_.]
[15] [Intended as a sneer at Charity's pious sentiments. _Sir John_ is the common term in old plays, and literature generally, for a parson.]
[16] Cool.
[17] [Trumpington is in Essex, a county proverbial, rightly or wrongly, for the stupidity of its inhabitants.]
[18] [Equivalent to calling him a churl. See Hazlitt's "Proverbs," 1869, pp. 315-316 and 489; and Halliwell's "Dictionary," _v_. Hogsnorton. But in none of the instances cited there do we find Trumpington mentioned.]
[19] See "Popular Antiquities of Great Britain," ii. 286.

[21] Should we not read _Hey-go-bet_?
[22] See Hazlitt's "Popular Poetry," iii. 73-4.
[23] _Post and pair_.
[24] [We do not find this mentioned elsewhere. The same remark applies to _aums-ace_.]
[25] [Halliwell, in his "Dict." v. Pink, says:--"A game, the same as post and pair." Surely this is not so. It seems rather to be used, here at least, in the sense of _gamble_. But _pink_, after all, may signify something very different, viz., _lechery_.]
[26] The target or butts.
[27] [Copland's ed. _books_.]
[28] [This line is omitted in Waley's ed.]
[29] [The colophon of Waley's ed. is: Imprinted at London by John Waley, dwellyng in foster lane.]
[30] [The colophon of Vele's ed. is at the end _infra_.]
[31] [Afterwards parted with to Dr Dibdin. A second copy is in the Bodleian.]
[32] [An error. No edition by Pinson is known, or is likely to have ever existed. The impression referred to is Copland's. _See_ Hazlitt's "Handbook," p. 649-50.]

[45] The word _fitte_ sometimes signified a part or division of a song; but in its original acceptation a poetic strain, verse, or poem: from being applied to music, the word was easily transferred to dancing, as in the above passages. See Dr. Percy's "Relics of Anc. Eng.
