The idea intended to be conveyed by the word prenzie, is that which is expressed in the following passages:

"All this I speak in print; for in print I found it."

Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act II. Sc. I.

"I will do it, Sir, in print."

Love's Labour's Lost, Act III. Sc. I.

on which Steevens remarks:

"In print means with Exactness—with the utmost Nicety."

He supports this meaning by quotations from other dramatic writers of the same age:

"Not a hair about his Bulk, but it stands in print." (1605)

"I am sure my husband is a Man in print, in all things else." (1635.)
