p. 242, l. 32 _Sure. reads._ 4to 1690 and 1724 'she reads', which is ambiguous.

p. 243, l. 16 _de la guerre._ 4to 1690 'de la gare'.

p. 244, l. 17 _They join with Surelove._ Only in 4to 1690.

+ACT II: Scene iv+

p. 258, l. 26 _Enter Brag._ Both 4to 1690 and 1724 have 'Enter a Messenger', and give l. 27 speech-prefix 'Mes.' Both, however, give the next speech he speaks (l. 33) to Brag and have later 'Exit Brag.'

p. 259, l. 5 _Whimsey._ Both 4to 1690 and 1724 here and elsewhere cut the name down to 'Whim.'

p. 262, l. 25 _Wellman's Guards._ 4to 1690 'Wellman, his Guards'. But Wellman has not left the stage. The comma printed by 1690 is probably a mistake and we should read 'Wellman his Guards'.
