85. #Ecce# &c.: St. Matt. xxii. 4 adapted.

87. Morris alters #þe# to we, but the article is necessary, and the

subject is often omitted by this writer; see 83/10, 85/105, 87/152, and

6/18 note.

88. #bord bugen#: so at 85/102, but ‘to godes bord bugen,’ 88/188:

bugen, to bend one’s steps, to go, is elsewhere used with a preposition;

either to has dropped out in these two isolated instances, or there has

been some confusion in the writer’s mind with _begin_.
