Notes (156—172). ' 147 



156. In the rubric, T. R. has — 'what riches are'; but in 1. I, he. has — 'It is 

 now requisite to know what riches is.' Already riches was becoming a plural 

 substantive. It may be remarked that I. R. omits the Latin forms of all the 

 quotations. 



157. 19. dudie\ debt (which is what is meant). So also in 11. 22, 24. 



160. 2. After declare, I. R. inserts — and euery booke of Common prayer dooth 

 containe them. A pertinent remark. 



161. 3. I. R. omits the reference to the Athanasian Creed, and says we must 

 ' beleeue stedfastly the Catholick fayth.' 



25. I. R. omits from The fulfyllynge to the end of the section. For a descrip- 

 tionjof the seven works of mercy, see Spenser, F. Q. i. 10. 36. 



163. 3. I. R. has — and hast a stedfast fayth in Christ. He has almost wholly 

 rewritten this section, and says we are bound ' to come to common prayer ;' and 

 omits the quotation from St. Ambrose. 



164. 7. It is remarkable that the author should refer us to the 3rd chapter of 

 Proverbs instead of the 15th. Our forefathers seem to have had no idea either of 

 giving a correct reference or of verifying one. 



10. Qui a is printed, in Fitzherbert, as Quia, in one word. The correction 

 being obvious, I have made it. 



18. Isodorus] Osorius. Why this alteration is made, I cannot tell. In 1. 29 

 of the next section, I. R. has Isidore, and in 1. 37, Isidorus. 



165. 39. Hampole\ Hanapole (wTongly). Richard Rolle, of Hampole, was the 

 author of the Pricke of Conscience, edited by Dr. Morris for the Philological 

 Society, and of numerous other works, including some Religious Treatises edited 

 by Mr. Perry for the Early English Text Society. 



47. I. R. omits this line ; he probably did not like the word oratory. 

 52. The first book of Samuel was formerly called the first book of Kings. 



166. I. R. rewrrites this section, and avoids any reference to Latin or to the 

 Ave Maria. 



167. 19, 20. I. R. gives the Latin lines, and his own translation, as follows. 



The ghostly enemy doth not stay 

 Till tempted persons doe obey : 

 For yeelding, hee a Lyon is, 

 Gainestood, a flie : his pray doth misse. 



His syntax is as bad as his translation. 



34. steke\ shutte. 35. styfly'\ manfully. We have here an idea which is fre- 

 quently met with in our literature. It may suffice to refer to Grosseteste's Chastel 

 d' Amour, the sermon called Soules Warde printed in Dr. Morris's Specimens of 

 English, part i., the extract from the Ayenbite of Inwyt printed in Morris and 

 Skeat's Specimens, 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 doviinus\ is 

 extraordinary. 



169. II. vnable to be foughten agaynst\ inuinsible. 

 13, 14. sleckethl slacketh. slake"] quench. 



35. I. R. copies Fitzherbert's reference to Chap. 35 ; but read 34. 

 172. 14. conuerted] conuarted (a peculiar pronunciation).
