Page 89.—Adonai or Elohim. Hebrew names for Jehovah, or God.
Page 112.—Shrewd turns. That is, evil turns (chances or happenings). Cf. Henry VIII. v. 3. 176:—
"The common voice, I see, is verified
Of thee, which says thus, 'Do my Lord of Canterbury
A shrewd turn, and he is your friend for ever';"
that is, he returns good for evil. Compare As You Like It, v. 4. 178:—
"And after, every [every one] of this happy number
That have endur'd shrewd days and nights with us
Shall share the good of our returned fortune;"
and Chaucer, Tale of Melibæus: "The prophete saith: Flee shrewdnesse, and do goodnesse," etc.
