The meaning is, And the carrying out of the design of the articles between the two kings. But the second folio has, ‘the article design’d,’ and has hitherto been followed, though the sense of this reading is far from clear.”

1866 Bailey
Bailey : Heath without attribution; Hunter
110 comart] Bailey (1866, 2: 2): “The attempts to explain the word co-mart, have failed; and the reading of the folio covenant, does not fall in with the rhythm of the line. I have little doubt that Shakespeare wrote compáct, which he had employed a few lines above in speaking of the same agreement. There could be no reason why he should resort to an unprecedented phrase when he had so excellent a term before him, which he might repeat, not only without any violation of good taste, but with increase of effect. I am glad to find that Mr. Hunter supports the same emendation, in his ‘New Illustrations of Shakespeare.’ *

desseigne, of a most select (539), and
wits (730). <p. 297> <p. 298> He ascribes these and the eight others he lists in this category to “difficult handwriting in Shakespeare’s own manuscript [. . . ].” </p. 298> <p. 305> He considers the spelling a graphical error, caused by Shn penmanship, where
