See St. Kath. 288; Anc. Riwle, p. 284. _Freme_ and _frame_ are radically the same words, the former being of A.Saxon and the latter of Norse origin. In the Ayenbite, p. 91, _vreme_ = _freme_ = _frame_ is used exactly in the sense of _frame_: "We wylleþ wel þet we be yvonded (tempted) vor hit is oure _vreme_ ine vele maneres, vor we byeþ þe more ymylded and þe dredvoller and þe more wys ine alle þinges and þe more worþ and þe more asayd." 197 _oc_ = _og_ = _ow_, ought. P. 7. ll. 204-6 Whilst it (the soul) followed holy will, God's self the while is pleased, And displeased when it loves sin. _un-lif_ is evidently an error for _un-lief_ = displeased = O.E. _unleôf_. In the MS. the _f_ has a long tail, and might almost stand for an incomplete _k_. 217 _kiegt_ = _hight_ = threatened, literally promised. 222 _ilc here_ = each of them. Cf. the expressions _her non_, _non her_ = none of them. 228 _sib_ = akin, related; still preserved in _gossip_, originally _godsib_. See Ayenbite, p. 36. 230 _wrocte_ = _wrogte_ = pret. of _worken_, to _ache_, _pain_, _hurt_. Cf. A.S. _rop-weorc_ = stomach-ache; _weorcsum_, irksome. In the Reliq. Antiq., p. 51, a receipt is given "for evel and _werke_ in þe bledder." On p. 54 of the same work we have a receipt for the "seke man" whose "heved _werkes_." 234 _ðurte_, an abbreviated form of _ðurfte_ = behoved. This verb is used with the _dative_ of the pronoun. (See Handlynge Synne, l. 5826.) "Whyne had God made us swa Þat us _thurt_ never haf feled wele ne wa." —(Hampole's P. of C. 6229.) P. 8. l. 240 _seli sped_ may be regarded as a compound, and printed _seli-sped_ = good speed, prosperity. Cf. l. 310, where _iwel sped_ = _iwel-sped_ = misfortune. Cf. O.E. _gode-happe_, prosperity, and _ille-happe_, mishap. 247 _seuendai_ = _seuend dai_ = seventh day. 250 _newes_ = _a-new_, a genitival adjective used adverbially. Cf. our modern adverb _needs_, O.E. _nedes_, of necessity; _lives_, alive. (R. of Gloucester, 301, 376. Owl and Nightingale, 1632.) _deathes_ = dead. (R. of Gl., 375, 382. Owl and Nightingale, 1630.) 255 _rode-wold_ = rode tree. I have printed _rode-wold_ and not _rode wold_, because the two expressions are widely different in meaning. In the latter phrase the word _wold_ = put to death, slain; in the former it is a suffix = -tree, -beam; so that _rode-wold_ corresponds exactly to the O.E. _rode-tre_ = _rood-tre_ = the cross. "Þe ille men in manhed sal hym [Christ] se, Anly als he henged on þe _rode-tre_," etc. —(Hampole's P. of C., l. 5260.)
