part ii., the Tower of Truth and Castle of Caro described in Piers
the Plowman, &c. We are also reminded of Bunyan’s Holy War.
=168.= 31. Here again Fitzherbert gives us the wrong reference to the Proverbs, viz. to Chap. xiv. instead of Chap. xix. His reading _Veneratur dominus_] is extraordinary.
=169.= 11. _vnable to be foughten agaynst_] inuinsible.
13, 14. _slecketh_] slacketh. _slake_] quench.
35. I. R. copies Fitzherbert’s reference to Chap. 35; but read 34.
=172.= 14. _conuerted_] conuarted (a peculiar pronunciation).
21. This quotation from St. Augustine appears also in Piers Plowman, B. v. 291.
50. This last paragraph is called by I. R. ‘Fitzherberts protestation;’ yet he actually alters his author’s words, substituting ‘the holy scriptures’ for ‘al holy churche,’ with various other smaller ‘corrections.’
To crown his effrontery, he gives the address of ‘The Authour to his Booke’ in the following extraordinary (amended) form!
Goe grosse fram’d image of a holy saint, present my loue, though rude my pensill paint; If any blame thee for deformitie, say Nature calld thee, and not Oratorie; If on thy browes be starres of ignorance, say Fortunes pype did neuer teach thee dance. Wish them amend which best can iudge thine ill, so shall both thou and I bee happy still.
FOOTNOTES:
[36] Such is the general rule; but in Lowland Scotch, we have _Dalziel_, _Menzies_, pronounced as _Dalyell_, _Menyies_, _i.e._ with _z_ for _y_ in the _middle_ of a word, where it usually has the force of _gh_.
[37] I shall in future drop the initials “I. R.” in these collations. It will be understood that these various readings are all from the same source.
[38] Cf. the name _pod-ware_, as applied to beans and peas. See Halliwell.
[39] Printed--“Vernall. When.” This cuts the sentence in half, and makes nonsense.
[40] A singular mistake; he means _Aries_.
[41] I.e. mortified. “_Mortify_, to change the outward form of a mixt body, as when quicksilver ... is dissolved in an acid menstruum”; Phillips.
[42] _Sic_; but we commonly find _viues_ or _vives_. And in fact, Fitzherbert treats of it below, in section 91.
[43] I.e. the servant who had charge of the _garners_ or granaries, and whose business it was to send corn to the mill, the stable, and the poultry-yard.
[44] Cellar.
[45] Ewery; where were kept ‘Napery, Basons, Ewers, sweete waters, Perfumes, Torches, Supper-lights, Prickets, sises of Waxe, and such like;’ also ‘tallow Candles, Candle-sticks, Snuffers, and such other.’

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
All changes noted in the ERRATA (pg xxxi, after the Introduction) have been applied to the etext, except for the page header (Headline) change which is not applicable for this ebook.
Footnote [28] is referenced twice from page 55.
Numerical values in the original (1534) text are in roman format, usually inside periods as ‘.xxiv.’, but this is not consistent. Some numbers of the form ‘xxiv.’ and ‘.xxiv’ and ‘xxiv’ have been left unchanged.
Pg 3: page number ‘16’ for entry ‘=7.=’ moved from the first line of its text to the last line to be consistent with other entries. Pg 4: ‘fol. 32.’ replaced by ‘fol. xxxii.’ in entry ‘=50.=’. Pg 33: ‘M e-hills’ (in Sidenote) replaced by ‘Mole-hills’. Pg 76: ‘she wyl not not labour’ replaced by ‘she wyl not labour’. Pg 101: Pilcrow symbol ¶ inserted after ‘149.’. Pg 110: ‘Nichil retinet’ has not been changed, but perhaps should be ‘Nihil retinet’. Pg 120: ‘Ecclus.’ (in Sidenote) replaced by ‘Eccles.’.
