14. hour

Cauthen and Walker both indicate that B's preferred spelling was houre. Of the thirteen (+J2) -ow- spellings of hour in copy, B changes eleven (+J2) to -ou-. One hower and one houre-glasse spellings are reproduced by B from his copy. He retains all thirty-four (+J4) -ou- forms found in copy. The Pavier evidence indicates that B's preference for -ou- was quite strong.
