_Of_ hale _lynage, and trew lyne of Scotland_, &c.--V. 21.
Of _auld_ linnage, &c. Edit. 1594; _olde_, 1620; _old_, 1648, 1673, and
1714.
_Go reid the_ fyrst _rycht lyne of the fyrst Stewart._ MS.--V. 34.

_Till hald of hym the_ toun.--V. 64. MS.
This is obviously another error, and opposed to all the copies.
_And thar he gat_ ymage _of Scotland swne._ MS.--V. 116.
It is _homage_ in all the copies, except that of Perth.
_And Bruce, out of Scotland._--V. 134.
