61. #scrift underuongest#, dost undertake, submit to the penance enjoined by the priest: comp. ‘ær he hæbbe godcunde bote underfangen,’ = ‘antequam divinam emendationem susceperit,’ Schmid, Gesetze, 178/5. 62. #þenne# &c., when thou hast done penance for thy sins in accordance with the directions of thy confessor: see 62/30. 63. #þine onwalde#, authority, power over thee: #þine# corresponds to the genitive which goes with OE. #anweald#, #onweald# in the same sense, as ‘onwald . . . ðæs folces,’ Cura Past., 3/5, power over the nation. 66. #heuie# is probably a mistake for heued; comp. 80/32; but ‘heuie sennen,’ OEH ii. 11/29. 67. #sunbendes#: ‘colligationes impietatis,’ Isa. lviii. 6; comp. 85/100; ‘þeo þat ye aleseþ here · of heore sunnes bende,’ OEM 55/629. Similarly ‘bendes’ 40/188: the verb is common, 135/123; ‘Ðe ilke mann ðe is ibunden mid heaued-senne,’ VV 101/8; OEM 192/5. 76. #in alesnesse#, for the deliverance: #in# expresses purpose and the noun is historically accusative; comp. ‘in gemynd þæs wundres,’ Beda, 204/27. 77. #þe . . . embe#, about which: comp. 1/3; 89/48; 90/73; 118/44; ‘mast ðar embe spekð,’ VV 101/9. So, þe . . . mide, 79. 80. #fower cunnes wurmes#, crawling things of four kinds; in such expressions the _sing. gen._ cunnes often displaces the normal plural; comp. 27/295, 88/13, 92/117, 119/90, 124/264, 134/93, 187/358, and contrast ‘kunne,’ 132/9 note. So too the predicative ‘manie kinnes,’ of many kinds, 85/104, 105. 82. #⁊ beoreð#, which carry: parataxis as in 150/27; ‘Euelin iseh enne gume . . . ⁊ bar an his riht hond[;] ænne stelene brond,’ L 8435. 85. #euer#, as an invariable result; comp. 7/69. Connect #se mare#, the more. #strengðdeð him#, exerts himself; comp. ‘⁊ streinþede him by al ys miht | to serue god,’ Bödd., AE. Dicht. 257/7. #to swimminde#, in order to swim, for swimming: corresponding in form to LWS. #to swimmende#, alternating with the regular _dat._ infinitive #to swimmene#: comp. ‘to quemende,’ 84/68, 70; ‘to lesende,’ 87/148; ‘to clensende,’ 87/177. Another exchange of terminations is seen in ‘Hit is to vnderstondinge þ{a}t sir Renaud . . . purchacede’ &c., An Eng. Miscellany, 350/6. The writer has ‘to brekene,’ 76/31, ‘for to lokien,’ 76/9. 86-90. Comp. ‘Ecce quot laqueos diabolus tendit litteratis et maxime theologis et predicatoribus, nam subplantatis et dejectis doctoribus facile deiciuntur discipuli; verum dicitur quod cuidam querenti a cancro cur non incederet recte sed retrograde, respondit cancer: “Ita didici a parentibus meis,”’ Jacques de Vitry, xliv. (the Exempla ex Sermonibus Vulgaribus may have been written as early as 1210 A.D.). The crab is accordingly the type of the teacher who cannot himself perform what he expects his pupils to do. 90. #swam hire#, swam: see 13/34. 92. #alse feire . . . alse#, as kindly as if. 93. #in--bosme puten#, clasp to their heart, like ‘suo sinu complexuque recipiet,’ Cic. Phil. xiii. 4, 9.
