"And present execution of our wills

To us and to our purposes confin'd."

For 'confin'd' Hanmer read confirm'd; Johnson, consign'd. I confess I do not clearly understand the passage.


"That were our royal faiths martyrs in love."

Hanmer and Johnson read loyal; but Malone makes a good defence of 'royal.'


"No, no, my lord. Note this, the king is weary of

Such dainty and such picking grievances."
