[ [31] See Herford’s discussion, Studies, p. 305; also Quarterly Rev. 22. 358. The frequently quoted passage from Harsnet’s Declaration (ch. 20, p. 134), is as follows: ‘And if that the bowle of curds and cream were not duly set out for Robin Goodfellow, the Friar, and Sisse the dairy-maide, why then either the pottage was burnt the next day, or the cheese would not curdle,’ etc. Cf. also Scot, Discovery, p. 67: ‘Robin could both eate and drinke, as being a cousening idle frier, or some such roge, that wanted nothing either belonging to lecherie or knaverie, &c.’
