80 T is probably the scribe’s own attempt to remedy the omission of l. 76: #Boðe# appears to refer to ‘crist’ and ‘drihte.’ #þe his bien#, such as be his, his own. 81. #biloken#: comp. 13/37. 82. #wettre . . . londe#: a common formula: comp. 26/271 note; 40/194; ‘Vor hi bynomen him saulen · in water ⁊ in londe,’ OEM 56/682, 162/13; ‘a londe ⁊ a watere,’ L 550, 562, 17990. See KH 245 note. 83. #fuȝeles# &c.: comp. 143/79. 84. #wit ⁊ waldeð#: wit ⁊ walt E. Comp. 139/17. 85. #buten#: abuten, in both places E e; al buten D: a buten ende represents OE. #ā būtan ende#, ever without end; by union of the first two words a false form abuten, without, grew up, as at 52/369, 371, 373, alongside abuten, OE. #abūtan, onbūtan#, around, about. J rewrites, He wes erest of alle þing · and euer byþ buten ende. 86. #wende# &c., go where you will; so ‘Ga quar þou ga,’ CM 14072; ‘for wende woder þou wende[;] þine daȝes beoþ at þe ende,’ L 16110. Expressions of the same form are ‘comen þer heo comen,’ L 20667, 23021; ‘fare wha swa auere fare,’ id. 20849, 23223; 104/176; ‘likien swa me liken,’ L 22511, 30544; ‘wreaðe se þu wreaðe,’ 141/54; 143/84; 145/115. 88. #þe--wille#: the MSS. have the order in T. #uwer#, anywhere: aihwar D (= OE. #ǣhwǣr#, everywhere); ichwer J; oueral M; but E e have eiðer, OE. #ǣgðer#, both; perhaps for eaðe, or eaðere, easily, more easily. 90. #Wi#, alas; not in E e; wy J; wai D. Comp. 36/105; ‘wei þet he eure hit wule iþenche,’ OEH i. 21/28; ‘Awi leof ware þu me, Heu dilecta mihi,’ OEH ii. 183/7: Heu is translated by Aweilewei, id. 183/15. #hwat--rede#, what shall be to us for advisable? a common tag; see KH 825 note. 91. #gulteð#, &c.: comp. 117/18. 92. #et--dome#: comp. ‘at þa{n} muchele dome,’ L 23056; 16/136 note. D has at to heaȝe dome; M, atte heȝe dome. 93-96 are omitted in D. J has them in the order 93, 96, 94, then a new line, Crist for his muchele myhte · hus helpe þenne and rede, 95, 97. 94. #engles#: comp. 17/146; ‘Dunc tremblerunt li angle qui tant sunt beaus e clers | E nus que ferum dunc chaitif maleurez | Ki en peche uiuom,’ Guischart 446-8. 95. #beren biforen us#: e, omitting us, has the right reading. The phrase is Fr. mettre avant, put forward, allege as a plea; comp. ‘Mes tu iés si engresse e fole, | qu’avant vuels metre ta parole,’ Marie de France, Fables, ed. Warnke, 305/15, 16. Gabrielson, Archiv cxxviii. 327, notes the similarity of the expression to ‘Mais eiez charite ke uus metez de uant,’ Guischart 1896, but the metaphor there is that of interposing a shield against the darts of the devil. #hom#: wan E; hwan e J T; wham M: all the readings mean, what. 96. #þo#, a mistake for we, which the other MSS. read. #deme# is object of #iquemen#. 99. The variant #iseien# is peculiar to T: it is evidently due to l. 98. 101. Comp. 119/70, 72.
