[795] As two plays on one night are exceptional, it is safer to follow the Revels Account.
[796] The £10 payment has now become normal, but to the end of the reign is stated, usually but not invariably, as made up of £6 13s. 4d. with a ‘more’ sum of £3 6s. 8d., by way of Her Majesty’s ‘rewarde’, ‘speciall rewarde’, or ‘further liberalitie and rewarde’.
[797] The Pipe Office D. A. date Sunday, Jan. ‘firste’. Jan. 5 was Sunday; the ‘fifte’ of A. O. (Wallace, i. 220) is right.
[798] Presumably the Revels Accounts put this play on 4 Jan. in error.
[799] The 27 Dec. of Revels Accounts is preferable.
[800] P. C. Acts give Shrove Sunday for the Chamberlain’s as well as Warwick’s.
[801] Both the ‘Twesday’ of the Pipe Office and the ‘Tewsday’ of the Audit Office (Wallace, i. 223) D. A. are doubtless errors for ‘Twelfday’. P. C. Acts have ‘Twelfte Daye’.
[802] P. C. Acts give Shrove Sunday (Feb. 9).
[803] P. C. Acts give 23 Dec., obviously in error.
[804] So P. C. Acts.
