This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1865 Excerpt: ... See Ayenbite, p. 36. 230 wrocte = wrogte = pret, of worken, to ache, pain, hurt. Cf. A.S. rop-weorc = stomach-ache; weorcsum, irksome. In the Eeliq. Antiq., p. 51, a receipt is given "for evel and werke in,e bledder." On p. 54 of the same work we have a receipt for the "seke man" whose "heved ioerkes." 234 Snrte, an abbreviated form of Surfte = behoved. This verb is used with the dative of the pronoun. (See Handlynge Synno, 1. 5826.) "Whyne had God made us swa pat us thurt never has feled wele ne wa."--(Humpole's P. of C. 6229.) P. 8. 1. 240 seli sped may be regarded as a compound, and printed seli-sped = good speed, prosperity. Cf. 1. 310, where iwel sped = iwel-sped = misfortune. Cf. O.E. gode-happe, prosperity, and ille-happe, mishap. 247 seuendai = settend dai = seventh day. 250 newes = a-new, a genitival adjective used adverbially. Cf. our modern adverb needs, O.E. necks, of necessity; lives, alive. (R. of Gloucester, 301, 376. Owl and Nightingale, 1632.) dcathes = dead. (R. of Gl., 375, 382. Owl and Nightingale, 1630.) 255 rode-wold = rode tree. I have printed rode-wold and not rode wold, because the two expressions are widely different in meaning, In the latter phrase the word wold = put to death, slain; in the former it is a suffix =-tree,-beam; so that rode-wold corresponds exactly to the O.E. rode-tre--rood-tre = the cross. "pe ille men in manhed sal hym Christ se, Anly als he henged on Jie rode-tre," etc.--(Hampole's P. of C, 1. 5260.) Cf. dore-tree, Piers PI. 833, and the phrases "hanged on a tree," "the gallows tree," etc. O. E. Tre = tree = wood, beam (and treen = wooden), still existing in axle-tree, saddle-tree, etc. The-wold in rode-wold must therefore =-tre = wood, beam...

"Vor soï wisdom is don euere soule-hele biuoren flesches hele: and hwon me ne mei nout boSe holden somed, cheosen er licomes hurt )'en furuh to stronge vondunges, soule roivunge."--(Aneren Riwle, p. 372.) For true wisdom is ever to put soul-health before flesh-health, and when one may not hold both together, to choose íirst bodily hurt than, through too strong trials soul, agony (death). 1323 Supply don after wulde. 1328 nuge = nog, now. 1331 frigtifagen may be either frigtiand fogen, timid and glad, or else frigti-fagen, timidly glad. 1332 for ysaac bi-leaf un-slagen. for Isaac remained unslain. 1333 Bi-aften, behind, abaft. "Tacc )'œr an shep bafftenn )'in bacc and offre itt forr be wennchell."--(Orm. ii. 156.) 1336 on ysaac ttede, instead of Isaac. P. 39. 1. 1345 Sarra wasfagen in kindtt vnme, Sarah was naturally glad. in kindtt wune = aster the manner of kinde (nature); kindet wunt = kind-wise, kin-wise. 1365 semeS is evidently an error for semes, burdens, loads. See 1. 1368. t«ne = is properly a load for a pack-horse. "An hors is strengur than a mon, Ac for hit non i-wit ne kon, Hit berth on rugge grete semes, And drajth bi-vore grete tomes."--(Owl and Nightingale, p. 27.) 1372 min erdne Ìsm forfìe seïShelike, mine errand do thou further successfully. forfSe seems to be an error for forHere, further, promote. 1373 lent, grant, still exists in lend, loan, etc. 1376 He bad hise bede on good sel, He offered his prayer (in good time) opportunely. P. 40. l. 1379 ilc-on = each one of. 1382 JVe wor nogt to forfS Heuwe numen, The custom had not been so forth (up to that time) practised. 1388 bofte=bi-o/te, behoof; cf. O.E. byefe, bi-ofye.
