Uncontrolled note

Signatures from DFo. DFONOTE edp the Folger has two settings: in the first setting (Folger smk W502), the 'F' of signature 'F2' (i.e. B2 mis-signed) is under the 'ig' of 'negligence' and line 8 of p. 24 reads: 'rember'; in the second (and apparently later?) setting (Folger sm W502a Bd.w. W517 Copy 1), the 'F' of signature 'F2' (i.e. B2 mis-signed) is under the 'n' of 'negligence' and line 8 of p. 24 reads correctly 'remember' (NB: line 8 of p.24 appears in the errata that is printed at the foot the final page in both of the settings); also not that both copies appear t completely in different type
