142. #cop# is apparently the caputium of the Gilbertine Rule: ‘Conversae vero laicae sorores vestiantur sicut monachae, cucullis et scapulari exceptis; quorum loco habeant pallia de adultis agnis forrata; et caputia earum mamillas tegentia ad formam scapulariorum sanctimonialium,’ p. *lxxxvii: so a short cape covering the shoulders instead of the longer cloak called scapular. It was to be sewn high on the breast, not closed by a brooch: hence its name #hesmel# in N, as a garment with a hole for the head to pass through; Icel. hálsmal: #istihd# in N is probably miswritten for istichd. ‘lour cotes soient par de sus closes par deuant la poitrine sanȝ fermail,’ F. 143. #unleppet#, literally unlapped, not enfolded; ‘desaffublieȝ,’ F: not in their ‘cop’ or ‘hesmel.’ OE. #læppa#, skirt. #unweawed# N, ungarmented, means the same thing, not ‘unveiled,’ Morris: comp.

It was also used as a formal act of humiliation at the end of a Psalm and with the angelic salutation, as ‘cum tribus veniis totidem feci salutationes,’ Caesarius Heisterbach., ii. 33, 39: see also Ecbasis Captivi, ed. Voigt, ll. 769-72. Comp. ‘nimeð ower uenie dun et ter eorðe mid te honden one[;] oðer ualleð adun al uor muchel misnimunge,’ AR 46/27; ‘sumat veniam super terram,’ Gilbertine Rule, p. *lxxxi. 154. #do--ut#, put it utterly out. 156. #eiðer# &c., and let them raise one another and end with a kiss: #ham# in N is reciprocal. 157. #þe greatluker gulte#, who was more in fault; see 125/270. 158. #witen# &c.: see 90/73 note. #some#, concord: comp. ‘to some and to sehtnysse,’ Ælf., Hom.

For #leaððe#, OE. #lǣððo#, hatred, N has substituted the commoner #wreððe#. 160. #o brune#, alight; comp. ‘bed bringen o brune,’ SK 1355; AR 296/12. #aga#, go out; an uncommon use of a word which means, to depart.
