NOTE J。
Maskings or mummeries were favourite sports at Christmas in old times； and the wardrobes at halls and manor…houses were often laid under contribution to furnish dresses and fantastic disguisings。 I strongly suspect Master Simon to have taken the idea of his from Ben Jonson's 〃Masque of Christmas。〃
NOTE K。
Sir John Hawkins； speaking of the dance called the Pavon； from pavo； a peacock； says： 〃It is a grave and majestic dance； the method of dancing it anciently was by gentlemen dressed with caps and swords； by those of the long robe in their gowns； by the peers in their mantles； and by the ladies in gowns with long trains； the motion whereof； in dancing； resembled that of a peacock。〃History of Music。
