[1] This is a kind of Preamble to the Roll. A space is left for the
initial word, intended to be afterwards written in red ink, and
presumed to be Ðis. _Fome_, the _lineola_ over it being either
casually omitted, or since obliterated, means _form_, written Foume
below, and in No. 195.
[2] Cury. Cookery. We have adopted it in the Title. V. Preface.
[3] ynglond. _E_ was intended to be prefixed in red ink. Vide Note [1]
and [6].
[4] þ. This Saxon letter with the power of _th_, is used almost
perpetually in our Roll and the Editor's Ms. Every one may not have
adverted to it; but this character is the ground of our present
abbreviations y'e the, y't that, y's this, &c. the y in these cases
being evidently only an altered and more modern way of writing þ.
[5] vyaund. This word is to be understood in the concrete, _quasi_
vyander, a curious epicure, an _Apicius_. V. Preface.
[6] csten ynges. Christian kings. _K_ being to be inserted afterwards
(v. note [1] and [3]) in red ink. Chaucer, v. christen.
[7] and. Read _of_.
[8] Phisik. V. Preface.
[9] Sotiltees. Devices in paste, wax, and confectionary ware;
reviving now, in some measure, in our grander deserts. V. Index.
[10] buth. _Be_, or _are_. V. Index.
[11] sewing. Following; from the French. Hence our _ensue_ written
formerly _ensew_. Skelton, p. 144; and _ensiew_, Ames Typ. Ant. p. 9.
[12] F is omitted for the reason given in note 1.
[13] No. XX.II. II. is omitted.
