THE SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED. H.-IT gives me pleasure that you have so far noticed this, in the words which we have adopted from the Greek, Latin, reasonable, as that it will not much be felt; for the Port townes that have benefit of shipping may cur it easily off their trading, and Inland townes of their corne and cattle; as wee see all the townes of the LowCountryes doe cur upon themselves an EXCISE of all things towards the maintenance of the warre that is made in their behalfe."-Spenser's View of the State of Ireland, Todd's edit. 1805. p. 472.] : Italian and French for you will be inclined the more readily to concur with me, that the same thing is equally observable in those words which are original in our own language. Thus BRAND-in all its uses, whether Fire-brand, or a brand of infamy (i. e. Stigma, itself a participle of Σriw) or brand-new, (i. e. newly burned,) is merely the past participle Bren-ed, Bren'd', of the verb To Bren; which we now write To Burn. Sir T. More wrote the word indifferently Bren and Burn."At St. Waleries here in Picardy there is a faire abbey, where saint Walery was monke. And upon a furlonge of, or two, up in a wood is there a chapel, in which the saint is specially sought unto for the Stone; not only in those partyes, but also out of England. Now was there a yonge gentilman which had maried a marchantes wife; and having a littel wanton money, which hym thought BRENNED out the bottom of hys purs, in the firste yere of hys wedding toke hys wife with hym and went ouer the sea for none other erand, but to se Flaunders and France, and ryde out one somer in those countrees. And hauing one in hys company that tolde by the waye many straunge thinges of the pilgrimage, he thought he wold go somewhat out of his way, either to se it, if it were trew, or laughe at his man if he founde it false; as he veryly thought he should have done in dede. But when they came And to beholde For like as in other in to the chapell they founde it all trewe. they founde it fonder than he had tolde. pilgrimages ye se hanged up legges of waxe or armes or suche other partes, so was in that chapel al theyr offringes that honge aboute the walles, none other thinge but mens gere and womans gere made in waxe. Then was there besides these, two rounde ringes of siluer, the one much larger than the other through which euery man did put his prevy membres at the aulters ende. Not euerye man thorough bothe, but 1 ["And blow the fire which them to ashes BRENT.” Faerie Queene, booke 1. cant. 9. st. 10.] ["The author reports that, in crossing the forests of Westrogothia on horseback, they stopped a while at Lincopen, to look upon a column of stone, wherein there was a hole, designed for a use which cannot decently be expressed in vulgar language; but here is the Latin of it'Vestrogoticis silvis equitantes inducti, Lincopie, ob loci religionem were yet laye her And that some thorough the one and some thorough the other. Then was there yet a monke standing at the aulter that holowed certeine thredes of Venice golde: and them he deliuered to the pilgrimes, teching them in what wise themselfe or theyr frendes should use those thredes agaynst the Stone: that they should knitte it aboute their gere, and say I cannot tel you what praiers. As this gentylman and his wife wer kneling in the chapel, there came a good sadde woman to him, shewing him that one speciall poincte used in the pilgrimage and the surest against the Stone, she wist nere whither he advertised of. Which if it were done she durst lyfe, he shoulde neuer haue the Stone in his life. was, she would haue the length of his gere, and that should she make in a waxe candel whiche should BREN up in the chapell, and certaine praiers shoulde ther be sayd the while. And thys was against the Stone the very shote anker. Whan he had hard her (and he was one that in earnest fered the Stone) he went and askid his wife counsel. But she like a good faithfull christen woman loued no suche supersticions. She could abide the remenant wel ynough. But when she herde ones of BRENNING up the candell, she knit the browes, and earnestly blessing her :-Beware in the vertue of God what ye do, quod she, BURNE up, quoth-a! Marry, God forbede. It would waste up your gere, upon paine of my life. I praie you beware of such witchcraft."-Sir Thomas More's Workes. A Dialogue made in the yere 1528, p. 195. ODD-Is the participle Owed, Ow'd. Thus, when we are counting by couples or by pairs; we say-One pair, two pairs, &c. and one Owed, Ow'd, to make up another pair. It has the same meaning when we say-An ODD man, or an ODD action it still relates to pairing; and we mean-without a fellow, unmatched, not such another, one Owed to make up a couple'. non omittendæ, tantillum substitimus: ibi cippus lapideus, pertusus, explorandæ maritorum membrositati: qui pares foramini, approbantur, impares excluduntur connubiali toro: inde matrimonia aut stant aut cadunt, pro modulo peculii.'"-Bayle's Dictionary, 2d edit. vol. 2.
