It will be\nnoted that the book was printed by Thomas Creede, who printed\nthe 1st quarto of M. IV. See p. 10 above.\n203. Michaelmas. As All-hallowmas is almost five weeks after\nMichaelmas, Theobald changed this to \" Martlemas.\" He says :\n\"The simplest creatures (nay, even naturals) generally are very\nprecise in the knowledge of festivals, and marking how the seasons\nrun.\" This is true ; but the blunder here may nevertheless be\nintentional.\n212. Motiotis. Proposals. Cf. 54 above.\n217. Simple though I stand here. A common phrase of the\ntime, of which many examples might be given ; as from The\nReturne from Parnassusy 1606: \"I am Stercutio, his father, sir,\nsimple as I stand here.\"\n228. Parcel of the mouth. That is, part of it ; as in the phrase\n\"part and parcel.\" This sense of parcel is common in S. Cf.\n2 Hen. IV. iii. 2. 159 : \" Ere break the smallest parcel of this vow,\"\netc. ; Cor. iv. 5. 231 : \"A parcel of their feast.\"\n249. Contempt.

II. i. 3. 1 16: \"Attending\nbut the signal to begin,\" etc.\n271. Beholding. \" Beholden \" (Pope's reading, but a word never\nused by S.). Cf. M. of V. i. 3. 106, A. Y. L. iv. i. 60, etc.\n282. A master of fence. According to an old MS. in the British\nMuseum, there were three degrees in the \"noble science of de-\nfence,\" namely, a master's, a provost's, and a scholar's (Steevens).\nA veney (also spelt venew, venue, etc.) was a thrust or hit in fenc-\ning.
