ch I trust we shall
have, should he be supplied with the context in which the words occur;
without which it is difficult {204} to elucidate them fully. In the
meantime, I venture a few suggestions on some of the remaining words.

"In the fever or the _berebarde_,"

"_Berbi_, O.F., chancre, dartre; a _boil, bubo_, or _tetter_,
commonly attendant upon pestilent fever. 'Correpta fuit
vehementissima febri. Subtus ejus axillis detectis quoque
_Bubonibus_, magnam duritiem ac timorem prae se
ferentibus.'"--_Miraculi S. Francisci Solani, A.S._, tom. v.,
Julii, p. 909.

(See Bullein's _Dialogue bothe pleasant and pitiful, wherein is a goalie
regimente against the Fever Pestilence_, &c., 1578.)

"_Deale_," if an interjection (?), may possibly stand for "_Dea_," or
"_Ouy Dea_, Yes, truly! verily!" &c. (See Cotgrave in v. _Dea_.)

"_Schunche away_".--To _shun_ or _shunche_ is used for to _shove_, in
Sussex. "I _shunched_ him away."

"Wear no iron, nor haircloth, nor _irspilles felles_"--that is, no
_skins having hard or bristly hair_ like that of goats.

"HIRCIPILUS, Durorum pilorum homines sicut hirci."--_Festus_.

Here the context clearly leads to this interpretation.

_Sabraz_, or _sabras_, is a _decoction_ or _infusion_. One of the
numerous terms which the apothecaries adopted from the Arabic, in which
_shabra_ is a drink.

_Sabe_, in O.F.; _saba_, Ital., an inspissated juice or decoction.

"_Sabaricio_, a kind of strong drinke made of barley."

I doubt whether Ducange is right in explaining _sabrierium_ in the
following passage, by _condimentum_, Gallice _saupiquet_. It most
probably signified a beverage.

"In omnibus secundis feriis dent illis ova quatuor uniquique
clerico pinguia, cum bono _Sabrierio_."

S.W. SINGER.

[We take this opportunity of correcting two errata in the
Etymological Queries of our valued correspondent J. MN.

"Hete_n_este" should be "hete_u_este"--"Inclosed heteueste in a
stone coffin or tomb:" and in a later Query "isti_l_ed" should
be "isti_h_ed"--"Let their hesmel be istihed, al without
broach."]

_Lord Richard Christophilus._--CH. (Vol. ii., p. 130.) will probably
find as much information as he requires, if he can consult a small
volume in the British Museum (catalogued under the head of "_Isuf,
Bassa_,") of which the title is--
