K _b_ 2. "_Ligh in leath wand._"] Leath is no doubt lithe, flexible. What "ligh in" is intended for, unless it be lykinge, which the _Promptorium Parvulorum_ (_vide_ part i. p. 304) explains by lusty, or craske, _Delicativus_, crassus, I am unable to conjecture. It is clear, that the wand in one hand is to steck, _i.e._ stake, or fasten, the latch of hell door, while the key in his other hand is to open heaven's lock. K _b_ 3. "_Let Crizum child goe to it Mother mild._"] The chrisom, according to the usual explanation, was a white cloth placed upon the head of an infant at baptism, when the chrism, or sacred oil of the Romish Church, was used in that sacrament. If the child died within a month of its birth, that cloth was used as a shroud; and children so dying were called chrisoms in the old bills of mortality. K _b_ 4. "_A light so farrandly._"] Farrandly, or farrantly, a word still in use in Lancashire, and which is equivalent to fair, likely, or handsome. (See _Lancashire Dialect and Glossary_.) "Harne panne," _i.e._, cranium.--_Promptorium Parvulorum_, p. 237. K 2 _a_ 1. "_Vpon the ground of holy weepe._"] I know not how to explain this, unless it mean the ground of holy weeping, _i.e._, the Garden of Gethsemane. K 2 _a_ 2. "_Shall neuer deere thee._"] The word to dere, or hurt, says Mr. Way, _Promptorium Parvulorum_, p. 119, is commonly used by Chaucer and most other writers until the sixteenth century: "Fyr he schal hym nevyr dere." _Coeur de Lion_, 1638. Fabyan observes, under the year 1194, "So fast besyed this good Kyng Richarde to vex and dere the infydelys of Sury." Palsgrave gives, "To dere or hurte a noye nuire, I wyll never dere you by my good wyll." Ang. Sax., [Anglo-Saxon: derian] _nocere_, [Anglo-Saxon: derung] _laesio_.
