Great):

Vile] The 8vo "Vild"; the 4to "Wild" (Both eds. a little
before, have "VILE monster, born of some infernal hag", and,
a few lines after, "To VILE and ignominious servitude":--the
fact is, our early writers (or rather transcribers), with
their usual inconsistency of spelling, give now the one form,
and now the other: compare the folio SHAKESPEARE, 1623,
where we sometimes find "vild" and sometimes "VILE.")>

<32> concise syllogisms] Old ed. "Consissylogismes."

<33> cunning] i.e. knowing, skilful.

<34> Agrippa] i.e. Cornelius Agrippa.

<35> shadow] So the later 4tos.--2to 1604 "shadowes."
