Note 1343 — THE HONORABLE HISTORIE of frier Bacon, and frier Bongay.

Qtos. 'cape,' which might be justified as = capture (See N. E. D. for the verb; and cf. Greene's fondness for coining from the Latin, e.g. nocent in Jas., IV.) Do. suggests and eds. adopt 'rape.' But my reading is confirmed by Orl. Fur., Sc. i. 176, concerning Helen, who, "With a swaine made scape away to Troy," = escape. In Q 1 of our text the 's' was absorbed by the preceding possessive.
