2487. _Warnestore_, to supply with defensive materials, to garrison, protect; see 2521, 2523, 2525 below. 'And wel thei were _warnestured_ of vitailes inow'; Will, of Palerne, 1121. We also find a sb. of the same form. 'In eche stude hii sette ther strong _warnesture_ and god'; Rob. of Glouc. 2075 (ed. Hearne, p. 94). 'The Sarazins kept it [a castle] that tym for ther chefe _warnistour_'; Rob. of Brunne, tr. of Langtoft, ed. Hearne, p. 180. 'I will remayn quhill this _warnstor_ be gane'; Wallace, bk. ix. l. 1200, where ed. 1648 has 'till all the stuffe be gone.' Correctly _warnisture_; a derivative of O. F. _warnir_, _garnir_, to supply (E. _garnish_). Godefroy gives O. F.'_garnesture_, _garnisture_, _garniture_, _warnesture_, s. f. provisions, ressource; authentication; garnison, forteresse'; with eight examples. Cf. E. _garrison_ (M. E. _garnison_), _garment_ (M. E. _garnement_), and _garniture_. The last of these is, in fact, nothing but the O. F. _warnisture_ in a more modern [213] form. Hence we obtain the sense by consulting Cotgrave, who gives: '_Garniture_, garniture, garnishment, furniture; provision, munition, store, necessary implements.' It also appears that the word is properly a substantive, with the spelling _warnisture_; it became _warnistore_ or _warnestore_ by confusion with O. F. _estor_, a store; and, as the word _store_ was easily made into a verb, it was easy to treat _warnestore_ in the same way. It is a sb. in Rob. of Gloucester, as shewn above, but appears as a verb in Will. of Palerne. MS. Hl. has _warmstore_ (with _m_ for _ni_); and the same error is in the editions of Wright, Bell, and Morris. Ed. 1532 has _warnstore_. 2494. From Ps. cxxvii. 1 (cxxvi. 1, Vulgate). 2496. From Dionysius Cato, lib. iv. dist. 14:--'Auxilium a nobis petito, si forte laboras; Nec quisquam melior medicus quam fidus amicus.' 2499. _Piers Alfonce_, Petrus Alfonsi, in his Disciplina Clericalis, xviii. 10:--'Ne aggrediaris uiam cum aliquo nisi prius eum cognoueris; si quisquam ignotus tibi in uia associauerit, iterque tuum inuestigauerit, dic te uelle longius ire quam disposueris; et si detulerit lanceam, uade ad dextram; si ensem, ad sinistram.' 2505. The repetition of _that_ before _ye_, following the former _that_ before _for_, is due to a striving after greater clearness. It is not at all uncommon, especially in cases where the two _thats_ are farther apart. Cf. the use of _he_ and _him_ in l. 2508. _Lete the keping_, neglect the protection; A. S. _l[=æ]tan_. 2507. 'Beatus homo qui semper est pauidus; qui uero mentis est durae, corruet in malum'; Prov. xxviii. 14. Hence the quotation-mark follows _bityde_.
