_arrant_] The rhyme requiring the old spelling.

_Before Sir Oliver Twilight’s house_] There is nothing in this scene to assist us in determining where it takes place. Perhaps I have not marked it rightly; but the location now given to it seems, on the whole, to be that which is least objectionable.
# 4:
_his affected mistress_] i.e. the mistress whom he affects.
# 5:
_have_] Old ed. “hath.”
# 6:
_See where he comes_] I possess a copy of this play, which seems to have been used by the prompter towards the end of the 17th century, several passages being altered, and many marked for omission. As a specimen of the former, the present speech will suffice:
“See where he comes, _as melancholly and angry as a looseing Bully of Marribone_.”
# 7:
_True_] Qy. “Tush”?
# 8:
_ne’er_] Old ed. “now.”

# 33:
_Herein_] Qy. “Wherein”?

Thus you shall order them in the closet: but when they goe to the Table, you shall first send forth a dish made for shew only, as Beast, Bird, Fish, Fowle, according to the invention: then your Marchpane, then preserved fruite, then a Paste, then a wet Sucket, then a dry Sucket, Marmalade, Comfets, Apples, Peares, Wardens, Orenges and Lemons, sliced; and then Wafers, and another dish of preserved fruites, and so consequently all the rest before, no two dishes of one kinde going or standing together, and this will not onely appeare delicate to the eye, but invite the appetite with the much variety thereof.” P. 136, ed. 1637.
# 63:
_Take no care for me, widow_] I may just observe, that this speech of Weatherwise, and his next speech but one, “By the mass,” &c., seem to have been intended for blank verse; and probably are somewhat corrupted.
# 64:
