4. #þe#, with which: see 46/292 note. 5. #mihte . . . ȝemaked#, was able to complete: the last word is more adjective than participle and its syntax is primitive, comp. ‘hie alle on þone Cyning wærun feohtende oþ þæt hie hine ofslægenne hæfdon,’ AS. Chron. 755 A.D. 8. #to liue ⁊ to londe#: a zeugma, #bringen# has its ordinary meaning with #to londe#, but #bringen to liue# means, preserve alive, without any sense of motion; comp. ‘To lyue God him wolde bringe,’ Gregorius, 269; similarly ‘to liue go,’ escape death, KH 97, where see note for other uses of the same kind. Note the variant in 88/16. 10. #For none winde#, because of any wind. 11. #on#, in: comp. 90/66, 93/147; ‘forsakene on godes awene muðe,’ VV 3/2; ‘wakien on godes seruise,’ id. 3/27, and often in this text. See 83/15 note. 13. #kennes#: see 81/80 note. 15. #leðebeiȝe#, pliant, ready to obey: OE. #leoþu-bīege#, supple-jointed; the figurative use is noteworthy: comp. ‘leðebeih ⁊ hersum gode,’ VV 109/3: ‘Soð was leðebei,’ id. 113/26. 16. #liuiende lande#, land of the living: glossed ‘terra uiuentium,’ VV 41/11. 18. ‘Qui vos audit, me audit: et qui vos spernit, me spernit,’ S. Luke x. 16. 20. #fullȝewiss#: see 32/40. 21. #hahte#, danger: OWScand. hǣtta; see Björkman, 99. 22. #hoc mare magnum#: Ps. ciii. 25. #bitere#: probably from ‘Porro iuxta allegoriam, mare sive stagnum quod cum suis transire desiderat [Dominus], tenebrosus amarusque seculi praesentis accipitur aestus,’ Bede, ed. Giles, xi. 70 (comment on S. Luke viii. 22). 23. #Ascendunt# &c.: Ps. cvi. 26. 26. #deules blastes#: comp. ‘Al so al holi chirche, þet is schip icleoped, schal ancren . . . so holde þet tes deofles puffes, þet beoð temptaciuns, hit ne ouerworþe,’ AR 142/12: ‘flante vento diabolicarum suggestionum,’ Hugh of S. Victor, ii. 483. 28. #strænges#, strands. The expressions ‘rihte ileaue,’ ‘soðe luue’ are of common occurrence; comp. 113/49, 189/435; OEH ii. 47/25, 103/28; Orm 46/1407, and for the latter, Ælf. Lives, i. 354/247. But ‘faste hope’ is unusual; comp. VV 15/27, 39/1. For #hope te#, see 178/89. 31. #nexin#, soften: OE. #hnexian#: beside the ordinary neschen, OE. #hnescian#. This text has ‘nexxin,’ 145/33, ‘nexce herte,’ 63/26: these forms do not apparently occur anywhere else. 32. #watere of wisdome#: suggested by ‘Sitierunt, et invocaverunt te (sapientiam), et data est illis aqua de petra altissima, et requies sitis de lapide duro,’ Wisdom xi. 4. Comp. ‘flowinde wettres of wittie wordes,’ SK 687. #ðar . . . to#: see 1/3. 33. #unbiliefde#, unbelieving, as though not possessed of belief: OE. #gelīefed#, believing, a believer. With 33-44, comp. OEH ii. 29/33-36. 35. The unwise man, if he have any generous purpose, makes shipwreck (on the stone-rock of the unbeliever), because the latter collides with his good will and wrecks it by using such words as these. The figure of the ship and the rock is continued in this sentence; the change of subject in ‘he hert’ is not uncommon.
