This was printed in 1619, and about fifty years later was added to an
edition of Seager, revised and extended by Robert Crowley; hence, the
sub-title, “the Second Part.” Weste’s treatise is believed to be unique.
Of its contents, Dr. Furnivall published only _Demeanour in Serving at
the Table_, from Bensley’s reprint, 1817.
p. 161. _Gellius._ Flourished in the second century A.D., and wrote the
famous commonplace book, _Noctes Atticæ_.
p. 163. _Serve God_, &c., alludes perhaps to serving at table.
p. 164. _Glumly._ Text: _glouting_.
p. 164. _Hedgehogs’ right_, _i.e._, be not bristling with frowns.
p. 164. _Nor imitate with Socrates._ From this it would seem that
Socrates, like Vergil, was roughly handled in the Middle Ages.
p. 165. _Stork ... elephant._ The idea seems to be: don’t make
outlandish noises.
p. 166. _Like an image pictured_, &c. Sixteenth-century pictures of the
winds are commonly so drawn.
p. 167. _The lips set close_, &c. The idea seems to be merely that
pouting lips are not mannerly.
p. 168. _Clitipho._ A comic character in _Heautontimoroumenos_.
