786. _to hyre the quest_, to suborn the jury. See l. 801.

790. _seet_, should sit. The A.S. for _sat_ is _sæt_, but for _should sit_

(3rd pers. sing. of the pt. t. subj.) is _s[=æ]te_. The latter became the

M.E. _seete_; hence _seet_, by loss of the final e. It rimes with _beheet_

(A.S. _beh[=e]t_).
