F.

_Fautor_, 528. (Lat.) Favourer, supporter.

_Fetches_, 110. Devices, ruses, trickeries.

_Fitten_, 538. Make fit.

_Flawed_, 57. Flayed.

_Foine_, 257. A rapier, or, more generally, the thrust (or parry)

made by a rapier. But see note on passage.

_Fond_, 204. Foolish, as commonly then.

_Footed_, 340. A rather awkward way of describing a box with two

covers (opposite one another) and double-bottomed.

_Foreslowed_, 365. Slowed overmuch, _i.e._, omitted at times. So

we have other words in fore—foregrown, etc. _Forespoken_, has been

said to be a compound of our fore, meaning bespeak or predict

(Rich.). But it is not to predict, but to do. Hence, I rather take

it as equal to speak over-much against, _i.e._, bewitch.

_Frote_ (A. N.). To rub.
