384. _Cheap_, as Dr Johnson observes, is _market, and good cheap_ therefore is _bon marche_. The expression is very frequent in ancient writers, as in Churchyard's ”Worthiness of Wales,” Evans's edition, 1776, p. 3--

”Victuals _good cheap_ in most part of Wales.”

Lyly's ”Euphues,” 1579, p. 8, ”Seeing thou wilt not buy counsel at the first hande _good cheape_, thou shalt buye repentaunce at second-hande at such an vnreasonable rate that thou wilt cursse thy hard penyworth, and ban thy harde heart.” Decker's ”Lanthorne and Candlelight,” H 4, ”He buyes other men's cunning _good cheap_ in London, and sels it deare in the countrey.” See other instances in Mr Steevens's note on ”First Part of King Henry IV.,” A. 3, S. 3.

385. _Leste_, 1st edit.; _least_, edit. 1569. And as _least_ is probably the reading the author intended, and is supported by both the old copies, it is restored; the Pardoner means in the _smallest_ quarter of the Palmer's voyage.--_Collier_.

386. _As, 1st edit.

387. _Bryngeth_, 1st edit.

388. _Dyd_, 1st edit.

393. _Hostely_, 1st edit.

395. _To be woe_ is often used by old writers to signify _to be sorry_.

So Shakspeare's ”Tempest,” A. 5, S. 1--

”_I am woe for't, Sir.”

Chaucer's ”Court of Love”-- ”_I wolde be wo_, That I presume to her is writin so.”
