2438. _Anientissed_, annulled, annihilated, done away with. In Rom. iv. 14, where Wycliffe's earlier text has _anentyschid_, the later text has _distried_. The Prompt. Parv. has: 'Anyyntyschyn, or enyntyschyn, _Exinanio_.' From O. F. _anientiss_-, pres. pt. stem of _anientir_, to bring to nothing, variant of _anienter_, a verb formed from prep. _a_, to, and O. F. _nient_ (Ital. _niente_, mod. F. _néant_), nothing. The form _nient_ answers to Lat. *_ne-entem_ or *_nec-entem_, from _ne_, _nec_, not, and _entem_, acc. of _ens_, being. See the New E. Dict. Cf. _anyente_ in P. Plowman, C. xx. 267, xxi. 389. _As yow oghte_, as it behoved you; Hl. _as ye oughte_. Both phrases occur. 2439. _Talent_; Fr. text, 'ta voulonte'; i. e. your desire, wish. '_Talent_, [212] ... will, desire, lust, appetite, an earnest humour unto'; Cotgrave. Cf. C. 540, and l. 2441 below. 2444. This paragraph is omitted in MS. Hl. 2447. _Hochepot_; Hl. _hochepoche_, whence E. _hodgepodge_. From F. _hochepot_, 'a hotch-pot, or gallimaufrey, a confused mingle-mangle of divers things jumbled or put together'; Cotgrave. This again is from the M. Du. _hutspot_, with the same sense; from _hutsen_, to shake, and _pot_. See _Hotchpot_ in my Etym. Dict. _Ther been ye condescended_, and to that opinion ye have submitted. 2449. _Reward_, regard; for _reward_ is merely an older spelling of 'regard.' So in Parl. of Foules, 426; Leg. of Good Women, 375, 399, 1622. 2454. Lat. text:--'Humanum enim est peccare, diabolicum uero perseuerare.' Sundby refers us to St. Chrysostom, Adhortatio ad Theodorum lapsum, I. 14 (Opera, Paris, 1718, fol.; i. 26); where we find (in the Lat. version):--'Nam peccare quidem, humanum est; at in peccatis perseuerare, id non humanum est, sed omnino satanicum.' It is also quoted by Vincent of Beauvais, Speculum Historiale, lib. xvii. c. 45. 2459. Lat. text:--'ad illorum officium spectat omnibus prodesse et nulli nocere.' This (says Sundby) is quoted from the Decretals of Gregory IX., lib. i. tit. 37. cap. 3. 2467. Cf. Lat. text:--'scilicet, Contraria contrariis curantur.' 2473. Fr. text:--'Or veez, dist Prudence, comment un chascun croist legierement ce qu'il veut et desire!'--Mr. 2479. _For good_, &c., 'namely, in the sense that good,' &c. 2482. See Rom. xii. 17; cf. 1 Thess. v. 15; 1 Cor. iv. 12. The Lat. text quotes part of verses 17-21 of Rom. xii. But it is clear that Chaucer has altered the wording, and was thinking of 1 Pet. iii. 9. 2485. After _wyse folk_, Cp. inserts 'and olde folk,' and Ln. 'and the olde folke.' The Fr. text has: 'les advocas, les sages, et les anciens.' Ed. 1532 also inserts 'and olde folke'; and perhaps it should be inserted.
