p. 357, l. l2 Gonzal. 4to 1671 ‘Gen’rall’.

p. 357, l. 16 You once. 4to 1671 wrongly gives this to the King.

p. 365, l. 14 so. 4to 1671 ‘now’.

p. 365, l. 31 Influence. 4to 1671 ‘Influences’ to the ruin of the metre.

p. 366, l. 6 as touch her. 4to 1690, 1724 ‘to touch her’.

p. 391, l. 6 Billet Doux. 4tos read ’Billet Deux’—­The same form is found in the Prologue l. 8; but as no other instance of ‘Billet Deux’ occurs I have corrected what is doubtless a misprint.

p. 394, l. 28 Adznigs. 1724, ‘Adzigs’.

p. 395 Dramatis Personae.  I have added ’Page; Florinda, Cousin to Elaria and Bellemante.’
