=80.= I. R. expands this chapter and the succeeding chapters so much that it would take up too much space to print all his additions. He gives recipes for the cure of the various diseases, and inserts chapters ‘Of the head-ach or meagrum,’ ‘Of the staggers,’ and ‘Of the Vines.’[42] I can only undertake to give here a few notes to illustrate Fitzherbert’s text. =83.= I. R. has--The mourning of the tongue most commonly called the Canker. =86, 87.= I. R. considers these two diseases together, and discourses of them at length, saying that he has ‘cured many very sore spent.’ =88.= I. R. explains ‘Strangulion’ as appearing ‘in a swelling impostume as bigge as a mans fist, iust betweene a horses chaules.’ =89-113.= I. R. omits nearly all these sections, excepting 91 (which agrees with his ‘Chapter 42. Of the Vines’) and sect. 109 (which is his Chapter 54). =109.= I. R. has the rubric--‘Of enterfayring’; and says--‘Enterfairing is a griefe that commeth sometimes by ill shooing, and sometimes naturally, when a Horse trots so narrow that he hewes [knocks] one legge vpon another.’ It is what we now call ‘over-stepping.’ The derivation is from the French form of Lat. _inter-ferire_; and it is from this term in farriery that we have taken the mod. E. _interfere_. =116.= I. R. omits this section. =118.= I. R. introduces here ‘Chapter 55. How to make the pouder of honey and lime.’ =119.= 2, 6. The French lines are in doggerel rime, and the English translations seem also to be meant for verse, such as it is. The omission of the words or _iourneye_ (in l. 8) would improve the scansion. 8. _or nyght_, i.e. ere night. Altered by I. R. to _out-right_. =120.= 4. _tame_] lame (!); an ominous mistake, for which the compositor should have the credit. =121.= 4. We may feel sure that this _sayinge_ was originally in verse. Perhaps it ran thus: “He that hath sheep, and swyne, and hyue, Slepe he, wake he, he maye thryue.” Or we might write _been_ (Chaucer’s plural of _bee_), riming with _theen_, the usual M. E. word for ‘thrive.’ 9. _Hogges._ As to the exact sense of this word, see the note on it in the ‘Corrections and Additions’ to the larger edition of my Etymological Dictionary. =122.= 38. _sclatte_] slate. =124.= Here I. R. begins his third book, relating to timber and distillations. 12. _Midsummer-moon_ is an old phrase; it occurs in the second line of the prologue to the Plowman’s Tale, which is inserted in some editions of Chaucer, though really written by the anonymous author of the Plowman’s Crede. 33. _muldes a spade-graffe depe_] mould with a spade a foot deepe. 35. _peruse_] doo still. 39. I. R. adds--or els beeing drowned, not to prosper. =125.= 4. _fyue fote brod, &c._] fiue foote broad, then it would be set with three chesses or rowes one aboue another, but of what depth or breadth soeuer, it would be double sette, &c. 5. _hedge_] dead hedge. =126.= 2. _ellore_] Elder (the later form).
