The minor poems of the Vernon ms. ... (with a few from the Digby mss. 2 and 86) ...

XXXII. HOW TO LIVE PERFECTLY, p. 221. From MS. Addit. 22383 (MS. Simeon [MS. Simeon being a mere copy of MS. Vernon without reference being had to any other MS., there are only slight differences in spelling, but no variants of material im|portance. I wish it to be understood that MS. Simeon has the reading of MS. Vernon also in those places where I have found it necessary to make corrections or emendations.] ).
