I make my quarrel in particular."

The second line is not in the folio, and there may be, as some critics think, a line lost; but my punctuation removes all difficulty. We have only to understand makes his quarrel; yet how strangely critics have puzzled over this not very difficult passage! We should perhaps read 'generals'; for Hastings and Bardolph seem to have equal authority with Mowbray. Lord Scroop had been put to death at Bristol, 1 Hen. IV. i. 3.


"And bless'd and grac'd, and did more than the king affect."

Thirlby conjectured indeed for 'and did.' I rather think there was, as usual, an effacement at the end of the line.


"Every thing set off

That might so much as think you enemies."

This is a strange use of 'think'; we should perhaps read hint, were it not that this verb does not occur in Shakespeare.
