“Iche wot what eche other thynk.”
The reading of Kele’s ed. “yehe” ought not to have been rejected, as the earlier part of the line seems to mean—Each knows (not, I know), &c.
Page 332. v. 562.
“And qualyfyed qualytes”
ought perhaps to be followed by a semicolon: but the passage is very obscure.

“As noble Ezechyas.”
Read “Isaias” (MS. has “Isay,” vide foot-note). See Notes, vol. ii. 298.

“Thus passid we forth walkynge vnto the pretory”—
insert a comma after “forth” and at the end of the line.

“And seryously she shewyd me ther denominacyons.”
seryously, i. e. seriatim. So in a letter from Tuke to Wolsey; “Thus preceding to the letters, to shewe Your Grace summarily, for rehersing every thing seriously I shal over long moleste Your Grace,” &c. State Papers (1830), i. 299.

“To weue in the stoule sume were full preste,
With slaiis, with tauellis, with hedellis well drest;
The frame was browght forth with his weuyng pin,” &c.
Perhaps the right punctuation may be,
“To weue in the stoule sume were full preste;
With slaiis, with tauellis, with hedellis well drest,
The frame was browght forth with his weuyng pin,” &c.

“With, Wofully arayd, and shamefully betrayd;
Of his makyng deuoute medytacyons.”
Two pieces seem to be mentioned here; and therefore the passage ought to stand,
“With, Wofully arayd, and Shamefully betrayd,
Of his makyng deuoute medytacyons.”
The sacred poem Wofully arayd occurs in vol. i. 141.
