the SEVEN DEADLY SINS— In THE HISTORY OF DR. FAUSTUS, Lucifer amuses Faustus, not by calling up the Seven Deadly Sins, but by making various devils appear before him, "one after another, in forme as they were in hell."  "First entered Beliall in forme of a beare," &c.—"after him came Beelzebub, in curled haire of a horseflesh colour," &c.—"then came Astaroth, in the forme of a worme," &c. &c. During this exhibition, "Lucifer himselfe sate in manner of a man all hairy, but of browne colour, like a squirrell, curled, and his tayle turning upward on his backe as the squirrels use:  I think he could crack nuts too like a squirrell."  Sig. D, ed. 1648.]

 107 (return) [ bevers— i.e. refreshments between meals.] 

 

 108 (return) [ L.— All the 4tos "Lechery."—Here I have made the alteration recommended by Mr. Collier in his Preface to COLERIDGE'S SEVEN LECTURES ON SHAKESPEARE AND MILTON, p. cviii.] 

 

 109 (return) [ Away, to hell, to hell— In 4to 1604, these words stand on a line by themselves, without a prefix.  (In the later 4tos, the corresponding passage is as follows;     "——— begins with Lechery. 

      LUCIFER. Away to hell, away! On, piper!  [Exeunt the SINS. FAUSTUS. O, how this sight doth delight my soul!" &c.)] 

 

 110 (return) [ I will send for thee at midnight— In THE HISTORY OF DR. FAUSTUS, we have a particular account of Faustus's visit to the infernal regions, Sig. D 2, ed. 1648.] 

 

 111 (return) [ Enter CHORUS— Old ed. "Enter WAGNER solus."  That these lines belong to the Chorus would be evident enough, even if we had no assistance here from the later 4tos.—The parts of Wagner and of the Chorus were most probably played by the same actor: and hence the error.]
