FOOTNOTES:
[36] Such is the general rule; but in Lowland Scotch, we have Dalziel, Menzies, pronounced as Dalyell, Menyies, i.e. with z for y in the middle of a word, where it usually has the force of gh.
[37] I shall in future drop the initials “I. R.” in these collations. It will be understood that these various readings are all from the same source.
[38] Cf. the name pod-ware, as applied to beans and peas. See Halliwell.
[39] Printed—“Vernall. When.” This cuts the sentence in half, and makes nonsense.
[40] A singular mistake; he means Aries.
[41] I.e. mortified. “Mortify, to change the outward form of a mixt body, as when quicksilver ... is dissolved in an acid menstruum”; Phillips.
[42] Sic; but we commonly find viues or vives. And in fact, Fitzherbert treats of it below, in section 91.
[43] I.e. the servant who had charge of the garners or granaries, and whose business it was to send corn to the mill, the stable, and the poultry-yard.
[44] Cellar.
[45] Ewery; where were kept ‘Napery, Basons, Ewers, sweete waters, Perfumes, Torches, Supper-lights, Prickets, sises of Waxe, and such like;’ also ‘tallow Candles, Candle-sticks, Snuffers, and such other.’
