Line 2433 - Commentary Note (CN) 
Commentary notes (CN):
1. SMALL CAPS Indicate editions. Notes for each commentator are divided into three parts:
In the 1st two lines of a record, when the name of the source text (the siglum) is printed in SMALL CAPS, the comment comes from an EDITION; when it is in normal font, it is derived from a book, article, ms. record or other source. We occasionally use small caps for ms. sources and for works related to editions. See bibliographies for complete information (in process).
2. How comments are related to predecessors' comments. In the second line of a record, a label "without attribution" indicates that a prior writer made the same or a similar point; such similarities do not usually indicate plagiarism because many writers do not, as a practice, indicate the sources of their glosses. We provide the designation ("standard") to indicate a gloss in common use. We use ≈ for "equivalent to" and = for "exactly alike."
3. Original comment. When the second line is blank after the writer's siglum, we are signaling that we have not seen that writer's gloss prior to that date. We welcome correction on this point.
4. Words from the play under discussion (lemmata). In the third line or lines of a record, the lemmata after the TLN (Through Line Number] are from Q2. When the difference between Q2 and the authors' lemma(ta) is significant, we include the writer's lemma(ta). When the gloss is for a whole line or lines, only the line number(s) appear. Through Line Numbers are numbers straight through a play and include stage directions. Most modern editions still use the system of starting line numbers afresh for every scene and do not assign line numbers to stage directions.
5. Bibliographic information. In the third line of the record, where we record the gloss, we provide concise bibliographic information, expanded in the bibliographies, several of which are in process.
6. References to other lines or other works. For a writer's reference to a passage elsewhere in Ham. we provide, in brackets, Through Line Numbers (TLN) from the Norton F1 (used by permission); we call these xref, i.e., cross references. We call references to Shakespearean plays other than Ham. “parallels” (//) and indicate Riverside act, scene and line number as well as TLN. We call references to non-Shakespearean works “analogues.”
7. Further information: See the Introduction for explanations of other abbreviations.

Ep. iii, 7-11; and John,
Rev. xx, 11. The truth is, I fear, that whatever else our poet’s critics have been strong in, they have, for the msot part, not been strong in knowledge of the scriptures; and that the book which they should have looked to first and most for help in the illustration of his works is the book which has been generally looked to last and least.’”

2433 heated] Thompson & Taylor (ed. 2006): “F’s ’tristfull’ means sorrowful; despite his commitment to F as Shakespeare’s revision of Q2, MacDonald comments: "I cannot help thinking the Q[2] reading of this passage the more intelligible, as well as much the more powerful.’ Edwards assumes the Q2 compositor could not read or understand ’tristfull’ and supplied heated from glow. He and Hibbard both assume that the F reading is an authorial revision; Jenkins retains O’er but prints ’tristful’ on the grounds that ’so rare and eloquent a word seems beyond an improver’ (LN). Against this, Shakespeare had used the word in Falstaff’s comically inflated command when he is playing the king in 1H4: ’convey my tristful Queen’ (2.4.389) -- if Dering’s emendation of ’trustfull’ to ’tristful’ is correct. See the oddly similar textual difference at 2.2.489 [1594], where Q2 has ’visage wand’ and F has ’visage warm’d’.”
