ΕΠΕΑ ΠΤΕΡΟΕΝΤΑ:

CHAP. III.

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, 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 Eti(w) 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 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

a

"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 in to the chapell they founde it "all trewe. All to beholde they founde it fonder "than he had tolde. For like as in other pilgri"mages ye se hanged up legges of waxe or armes "or suche other partes, so was in that chapell al 66 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 members at the aulters ende. "Not euerye man thorough bothe, but 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

capel, there came a good sadde woman to him, "shewing him that one special poincte used in the "pilgrimage and the surest against the stone, she "wist nere whither he were yet advertised of.
