305. Join #forð rigt#, straightway, or, by the nearest way.

306. Mätzner rightly omits #cumen# as a gloss. For #ligt# as a verb

comp. ‘Nu am ic ligt to fren hem ðeðen,’ GE 2787; 141/42. ‘Igitur filii

iacob descenderunt in egyptum,’ C.

308. #Kinde ðhogt#, natural affection; comp. ‘kinde blod,’ 206/330.

#was# is evidently a substitute for some rhyming word; Emerson suggests

lag, Kock, stag, Morris, ðag. It was probably some uncommon word which

the scribe altered, possibly wag, stirred, moved, OE. #wæg#, which is

sometimes used intransitively. In the passage corresponding to 207/340,

C. has ‘Commota sunt viscera eius,’ which our writer seems to have used

here.
