_All-to brake_ (Vol. i., p. 395.).--The interpretation given is

incorrect. "All-to" is very commonly used by early writers for

"altogether:" e.g., "all-to behacked," Calfhill's _Answer to Martiall's

Treatise of the Cross_, Parker Society's edition, p. 3.; "all-to

becrossed," _ibid._ p. 91.; "all-to bebatted," _ibid._ p. 133., &c. &c.

The Parker Society reprints will supply innumerable examples of the use

of the expression.
