v. 423. _pestels_] i. e. legs,—so called, perhaps, because the leg-bone resembles a _pestle_ used in a mortar. The expression “_pestle_ of pork” frequently occurs in our early writers; as in the following passage concerning the tremendous appetite of Charlemagne; “Whan he took hys repaast he was contente wyth lytel brede, but as touchyng the pytaunce, he ete at his repaast a quarter of moton, or ii hennes, or a grete ghoos, or a grete _pestel_ of porke, or a pecok, or a crane, or an hare all hool.” Caxton’s _Lyf of Charles the Grete_, &c., 1485. sig. b iii. Page 108. v. 423. _clubbed_] i. e. like clubs. v. 425. _fote_] i. e. foot. v. 426. _foule_] i. e. ugly: see note, p. 130. v. 442. Page 109. v. 429. _cantell_] i. e. corner, piece, fragment. v. 431. _quycke_] i. e. live. v. 435. _punyete_] i. e. pungent. v. 436. _sorte_] i. e. set, company. v. 441. _I wote nere_] i. e. I know never, not. v. 443. _podynges and lynkes_] “_Links_, a kind of Pudding, the skin being filled with Pork Flesh, and seasoned with diverse Spices, minced, and tied up at distances.” R. Holme’s _Ac. of Armory_, 1688. B. iii. p. 83. In Scotland the terms _puddings_ and _links_ are applied to various intestines of animals. v. 447. _leche_] i. e. physician, doctor.—Dunbar makes a distinction, which I do not understand; “In Medicyne the most Practicianis, _Leichis_, Surrigianis, and Phisicianis.” _Poems_, i. 213. ed. Laing. v. 450. _keke_] i. e. kick. v. 451. _the vertue of an vnset leke_] “_Vnsette lekes_ be of more _vertue_ than they that be sette ... _præstant in medicina_.” Hormanni _Vulgaria_, sig. f ii. ed. 1530. v. 452. _breke_] i. e. breeches. v. 453. _feders_] i. e. feathers. v. 460. _noughty froslynges_] i. e. worthless things, stunted by frost. In Suffolk, _froslin_ is applied to any thing—a lamb, a _goslin_, a chicken, an apple, &c., nipped, or pinched, or injured by frost: see Moor’s _Suffolk Words, Appendix_. Page 110. v. 462. _callet_] i. e. trull, drab, jade.
