294. #cristen dom#, baptismal vow. #heolde#, kept; see 48/310.

295. #on--grunde#: comp. 40/178. J reads anyþe helle grunde: a nyþe is

found only here. It may be a preposition formed from #an# + #neoþan#

(comp. anunder), like beneoþan and with the same meaning; but probably

it is for a niþer as in T and D in niþerhelle grunde.

296. #ut#: so D: but E J vp. ‘Ne porrat morir | n’a merci venir, | senz

fin i serat,’ Reimpredigt 34/67. #marke#: see 34/67, and comp. ‘myd

markes and myd punde,’ OEM 89/18.
