783. 'Hold up your hands'; to signify assent.

785. _to make it wys_, to make it a matter of wisdom or deliberation; so

also _made it strange_, made it a matter of difficulty, A. 3980.

791. 'To shorten your way with.' In M. E., the prep. _with_ always comes

next the verb in phrases of this character. Most MSS. read _our_ for _your_

here, but this is rather premature. The host introduces his proposal to

accompany the pilgrims by the use of _our_ in l. 799, and _we_ in l. 801;

the proposal itself comes in l. 803.
