[Footnote 204.1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is not
addressed, but seems undoubtedly to have been intended for the
writer’s husband. The attack upon the lodge at Hellesden here
referred to was in 1465, as appears by the letter immediately
following.]
[Footnote 204.2: ‘Norwich.’ --This word is interlined, the writer
having originally written ‘this town,’ and afterwards struck out
the word ‘town.’]
[Footnote 205.1: _an_--&, MS.]
[Footnote 205.2: The old word ‘dogbolt’ seems to have meant a
servile follower, or one bound to wait the commands of another.
Thus in Lilly’s _Tragicall Comedie of Alexander and Campaspe_,
where Manes complains that he serves a master whose house is a
tub, Granichus remarks ‘That Diogenes that dog should have Manes
that dogbolt it grieveth nature and spiteth art.’]
