Note 1 — VOLUME VI SLICE VI Cockaigne to Columbus, Christopher (continued 6)
Reading edition
“He is too much given to horse-play in his raillery, and comes to battle like a dictator from the plough. I will not say, ‘the zeal of God’s house has eaten him up’; but I am sure it has devoured some part of his good manners and civility.” (Dryden, Works, ed. Scott, xi. 239).
