Note 291 — SCENE III.—The English Camp before Dunbar.

"To the speeches of the King of England throughout this scene is prefixed Arius. Collier remarks, History of English Dramatic Poetry, iii. 161, 'It is a singular circumstance that the King of England is called Arius, as if Greene at the time he wrote had some scruple in naming Henry VIII. on account of the danger of giving offence to the Queen and Court.'"—Collins.
