[Footnote 101: erring-- i.e. wandering.] [Footnote 102: freshmen's-- "A Freshman, tiro, novitius." Coles's DICT. Properly, a student during his first term at the university.] [Footnote 103: resolve-- i.e. satisfy, inform.] [Footnote 104: Seek to save-- Qy. "Seek THOU to save"? But see note ||, p. 18.] [Note ||, from page 18 (The First Part of Tamburlaine The Great): Barbarous-- Qy. "O Barbarous"? in the next line but one, "O treacherous"? and in the last line of the speech, "O bloody"? But we occasionally find in our early dramatists lines which are defective in the first syllable; and in some of these instances at least it would almost seem that nothing has been omitted by the transcriber or printer.--] [Footnote 105: Enter the SEVEN DEADLY SINS-- In THE HISTORY OF DR. FAUSTUS, Lucifer amuses Faustus, not by calling up the Seven Deadly Sins, but by making various devils appear before him, "one after another, in forme as they were in hell." "First entered Beliall in forme of a beare," &c.--"after him came Beelzebub, in curled haire of a horseflesh colour," &c.--"then came Astaroth, in the forme of a worme," &c. &c. During this exhibition, "Lucifer himselfe sate in manner of a man all hairy, but of browne colour, like a squirrell, curled, and his tayle turning upward on his backe as the squirrels use: I think he could crack nuts too like a squirrell." Sig. D, ed. 1648.] [Footnote 106: case-- i.e. couple.] [Footnote 107: bevers-- i.e. refreshments between meals.]
