6354. All the copies wrongly have _bete_ or _beate_ for _lete_, i. e.
leave. Some fancy the text is wrong, because Méon's edition has 'G'en pren
le grain et laiz la paille.' But (says Kaluza) three MSS. have--'Je les le
grain et pren la paille'; which better suits the context.
6355. _To blynde_, to hoodwink; F. 'avugler.' For _blynde_, G. and Th.
actually have _Ioly_! I supply _ther_, i. e. where; for sense and metre.
6359. _bere me_, behave; _were me_, defend myself. The F. text varies.
6365. _lette_, hinder. The friars had power of absolution, independently of
the bishop; and it was a bitter grievance.
6374. _tregetry_, a piece of trickery; see l. 6267.
