36. For examples of the use of _great assize_, or _last assize_, to signify
the Last Judgment, see the New E. Dict., s. v. _Assize_.
39. Most MSS. read here--'That but thou er [_or_ or] that day correcte me';
this cannot be right, because it destroys the rime. However, the Bedford
MS., instead of _correcte me_, has _Me chastice_; and in MS. C _me
chastyse_ is written over an erasure (doubtless of the words _correcte
me_). Even thus, the line is imperfect, but is completed by help of the
Sion MS., which reads _me weel chastyce_.
