[Footnote 78:  “A prison is a grave to bury men alive, and a place wherein a man for halfe a yeares experience may learne more law than he can at Westminster for an hundred pound.”—­Mynshul’s Essays and Characters of a Prison, 4to, 1618.]

[Footnote 79:  In querpo is a corruption from the Spanish word cuerpo. “En cuerpo, a man without a cloak.”—­Pineda’s Dictionary, 1740.  The present signification evidently is, that a gentleman without his serving-man, or attendant, is but half dressed:—­he possesses only in part the appearance of a man of fashion. “To walk in cuerpo, is to go without a cloak.”—­Glossographia Anglicana Nova, 8vo, 1719.]

[Footnote 80:  Proper was frequently used by old writers for comely, or handsome.  Shakspeare has several instances of it: 

   “I do mistake my person all this while: 
   Upon my life, she finds, although I cannot,
   Myself to be a marvellous proper man.”

—­K.  Richard III.  Act I. Sc. 2, &c.]

[Footnote 81:  “Why you know an’a man have not skill in the hawking and hunting languages now-a-days, I’ll not give a rush for him.”—­Master Stephen.  Every Man in his Humour.]

[Footnote 82: 
   “Ter conatus ibi collo dare brachia circum: 
   Ter frustra conprensa manus effugit imago,
   Par levibus ventis, volucrique simillima somno.”
             —­Virgil, AEn. vi. v. 700.]

[Footnote 83:  Probably the name of some difficult tune.]

[Footnote 84:  Jump here signifies to coincide.  The old play of Soliman and Perseda uses it in the same sense: 

“Wert thou my friend, thy mind would jump with mine.”

So in Pierce Penilesse his Supplication to the Divele:—­“Not two of them jump in one tale,” p. 29.]

[Footnote 85:  Imputation here must be used for consequence; of which I am, however, unable to produce any other instance.]

[Footnote 86:  Sturtridge fair was the great mart for business, and resort for pleasure, in Bishop Earle’s day.  It is alluded to in Randolph’s Conceited Pedlar, 410, 1630:—­

   “I am a pedlar, and I sell my ware
   This braue Saint Bartholmew or Sturtridge faire.”

Edward Ward, the author of The London Spy, gives a whimsical account of a journey to Sturbridge, in the second volume of his works.]

[Footnote 87:  This silly term of endearment appears to be derived from chick or my chicken, Shakspeare uses it in Macbeth, Act iii.  Scene 2:—­

   “Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck.”]
