_chapplis_, bread-chippings. Cotgrave. [[Added to note.]]

p. 85, note to l. 98, _Trencher_, should be to l. 52. [[Note corrected to "52" in reprint; note moved in e-text.]]

p. 91, last note, on l. 177, should be on l. 77. [[See above under "p. 6".]]

p. 92, l. 6, _G.o.ddes good_. This, and _barme_, and _bargood_ (= beer-good) are only equivalents for 'yeast.' G.o.ddes-good was so called 'because it cometh of _the_ grete grace of G.o.d': see the following extract, sent me by Mr Gillett, from the Book of the Corporate a.s.sembly of Norwich, 8 Edw. IV.:

"The Maior of this Cite com{m}aundeth on the Kynges bihalve, y^t alle man{er} of Brewers y^t shall brewe to sale w^tynne this Cite, kepe y^e a.s.sise accordyn to y^e Statute, & upon peyne ordeyned. And wheras berme, otherwise clepid G.o.ddis good, w^toute tyme of mynde hath frely be goven or delyv{er}ed for brede, whete, malte, egges, or other honest rewarde, to y^e valewe only of a ferthyng at y^e uttermost, & noon warned, bicause it cometh of y^e grete grace of G.o.d, Certeyn p{er}sons of this Cite, callyng themselves com{m}on Brewers, for their singler lucre & avayll have nowe newely bigonne to take money for their seid G.o.ddis good, for y^e leest parte thereof, be it never so litle and insufficient to s{er}ve the payer therefore, an halfpeny or a peny, & ferthermore exaltyng y^e p{ri}ce of y^e seid G.o.ddis good at their p{ro}p{e}r will, ageyns the olde & laudable custome of alle Englande, & sp{eci}ally of this Cite, to grete hurte & slaunder of y^e same Cite. Wherefore it is ordeyned & provided, That no man{er} of brewer of this Cite shall from this time foorth take of eny p{er}son for lyvering, gevyng, or grauntyng of y^e s^d G.o.ddis good, in money nor other rewarde, above y^e valewe of a ferthyng. He shall, for no malice feyned ne sought, colour, warne, ne restregne y^e s^d G.o.ddis good to eny p{er}sone y^t will honestly & lefully aske it, & paye therefore y^e valewe of a ferthyng, &c." [[Added as second footnote to note on l. 178.]]

p. 161, l. 4. Flawnes. 'Pro Caseo ad _flauns_ qualibet die . panis j'

(allowance of). _Register of Worcester Priory_, fol. 121 _a._ ed. Hale, 1865. [[Added to editor's Note on this word.]]

p. 296, col. 1, Clof. Can it be "cloth"? [[Added to Index. The entry is in col. 2, not col. 1; the word occurs on p. 192.]]

p. 181, l. 144, Croscrist. _La Croix de par Dieu._ The Christs-crosse-row; or, the hornebooke wherein a child learnes it.

Cotgrave. The alphabet was called the _Christ-cross-row_, some say because a cross was prefixed to the alphabet in the old primers; but as probably from a superst.i.tious custom of writing the alphabet in the form of a cross, by way of charm. This was even solemnly practised by the bishop in the consecration of a church. See Picart's Religious Ceremonies, vol. i. p. 131. _Nares_. [[8a.]]

p. 185, l. 267, _for_ be, falle, _read_ be-falle (it befalls, becomes) [[Corrected]]

p. 189, l. 393, side-note, _Hall,_ should be _Hall._ Fires in Hall lasted to _Cena Domini_, the Thursday before Easter: see l. 398.

Squires' allowances of lights ended on Feb. 2, I suppose. These lights, or _candle_ of l. 839, would be only part of the allowances. The rest would continue all the year. See _Household Ordinances & North. Hous.

Book_. Dr Rock says that the _holyn_ or holly and _erbere grene_ refer to the change on Easter Sunday described in the _Liber Festivalis_:-- "In die pasch?. Good friends ye shall know well that this day is called in many places G.o.d's Sunday. Know well that it is the manner in every place of worship at this day _to do the fire out of the hall;_ and the black winter brands, and all thing that is foul with smoke shall be done away, and there the fire was, shall be gaily arrayed with fair flowers, and strewed with green rushes all about, showing a great ensample to all Christian people, like as they make clean their houses to the sight of the people, in the same wise ye should cleanse your souls, doing away the foul brenning (burning) sin of lechery; put all these away, and cast out all thy smoke, dusts; and strew in your souls flowers of faith and charity, and thus make your souls able to receive your Lord G.o.d at the Feast of Easter." --Rock's _Church of the Future_, v. iii. pt. 2, p. 250. "The holly, being an evergreen, would be more fit for the purpose, and makes less litter, than the boughs of deciduous trees.

I know some old folks in Herefordshire who yet follow the custom, and keep the grate filled with flowers and foliage till late in the autumn."

--D. R. On Shere-Thursday, or _Cena Domini_, Dr Rock quotes from the _Liber Festivalis_--"First if a man asked why Sherethursday is called so, ye may say that in Holy Church it is called 'Cena Domini,' our Lord's Supper Day; for that day he supped with his disciples openly....

It is also in English called Sherethursday; for in old fathers' days the people would that day sheer their heads and clip their beards, and poll their heads, and so make them honest against Easter-day." --Rock, _ib._, p. 235. [[Corrected; 15a. The Sidenote belongs to the Latin line between 394, 395.]]

p. 192, l. 462-4, _cut out_ . _after_ hete; _put_ ; _after_ sett, _and_ , _after_ let; l. 468-9, _for_ sett, In syce, _read_ sett In syce; l. 470, ? some omission after this line. [[Corrected; 28a.]]

p. 200, l. 677, side-note, steel spoon _is more likely_ spoon handle [[Corrected]]

p. 215, l. 14. _The _T_ of _T the_ is used as a paragraph mark in the MS._

p. 274, l. 143-4, ? sense, reading corrupt. [[Corrected; 63a.]]

p. 275, Lowndes calls the original of _Stans Puer ad Mensam_ the _Carmen Juvenile_ of Sulpitius. [[Corrected; 63b.]]

p. 312, col. 2, Holyn. Bosworth gives A.S. _holen_, a rush; Wright's Vocab., _holin_, Fr. _hous_; and that Cotgrave glosses 'The Hollie, Holme, or Huluer tree.' _Ancren Riwle_, 418 note *, and _Rel. Ant._, ii.

280, have it too. See Stratmann's Dict.

p. 317, col. 2, _The extract for_ Lopster _should have been under_ creuis _or_ crao.

p. 318, col. 1, Lorely may be _lorel-ly_, like a lorel, a loose, worthless fellow, a rascal.

p. 339, col. 1, Syles _is_ strains. SILE, _v._, to strain, to purify milk through a straining dish; Su.-Got. _sila_, colare.--SILE, s., a fine sieve or milk strainer; Su.-Got. _sil_, colum. Brockett. See quotations in Halliwell's Gloss., and Stratmann, who gives Swed. _sila_, colare.

On the general subject of diet in olden time consult "Regimen Sanitatis Salernitanum, with an Introduction by Sir Alex. Croke, Oxford, 1830."

-> Ten fresh pieces relating more or less to the subjects of this volume having come under my notice since the Index was printed and the volume supposed to be finished, I have taken the opportunity of the delay in its issue--caused by want of funds--to add nine of the new pieces as a Postscript, and the tenth at p. 264*. An 11th piece, _Caxton's Book of Curtesye_, in three versions, too important to be poked into a postscript, will form No. 3 of the Early English Text Society's Extra Series, the first Text for 1868.

POSTSCRIPT, 1894.

[18 Oct. 1894. Much has been done for the history of Education since I put the foregoing notes together: see Arthur Leach's articles in the _Contemp. Review_, Sept. 1892, Nov. 1894; _Fortnightly Review_, Nov.

1892; _Westminster Gazette_, 26 July, 1894; and _National Observer_, Sept. 1, 1894. Also Herbert Quick's books, J. Ba.s.s Mullinger's, Maria Hackett's (1814, 1816, &c.), and Foster Watson's forthcoming _Writers on Education in England_, 1500--1660.[1] See too Foss's _Lives of the Judges_; Jn. Smith's _Lives of the Berkeleys_; the _Life of William of Wykeham_; Lupton's _Life of Colet_; articles in Thoma.s.sin's _Ecclesiastica Disciplina, Vetus et Nova_; Dr. P. Alford's _Abbots of Tavistock_, p. 119-120; R. N. Worth's Calendar of the _Tavistock Parish Records_ (1588-9), p. 37, 39, &c.; _Dugdale_, i. 82, ii. 142, iii. 10, iv. 404-5; Leland, _Collectanea_, vol. i, pt. 2, p. 302; Ellis, _Orig.

Giles; _Churchwardens' Accounts_, Somerset Record Soc. (1890), p. xix; _Glas...o...b..ry Abbey Accounts_, p. 249; _Engl. Hist. Rev._, Jan. 1891, p.

Antiq.

Soc., vol. iii.; &c., &c.

Much of my Forewords above, appeard in two numbers of the _Quarterly Journal of Education_, no. 2, Aug. 1867, vol. i, p. 48-56, and no. 3, Nov. 1867, p. 97-100.--F. J. F.]

The friend to whom this book was dedicated, C. H. Pearson, died, alas, this year (1894) after his return from Melbourne, where he had organised free education thro' the whole State, and done much other good work.
