_"Nettle in dock out"_ (Vol. iii., p. 205.).--Bishop Andrewes uses the
phrase, "_in_ docke _out_ nettle, _in_ nettle _out_ docke," to denote
unsteadiness. The passage occurs in Sermon I., "Of the Resurrection,"
folio, p. 391.:
"Now then that we bee not, all our life long, thus off and on,
fast or loose, _in docke out nettle, and in nettle out docke_; it
will behove us once more yet to looke back," &c. &c. &c.
