as being
The madre and woode (woad) that dyers take on hande.
The thickening mill, however, has left us several words of much more familiar import than these—viz., ‘Tucker,’ ‘Fuller,’ (or ‘Fulman’[[323]]) and ‘Walker.’[[324]] Among other older forms we find ‘Roger le Tukere,’ ‘Percival le Toukare,’ ‘Walter le Fullere,’ ‘Ralph le Walkere,’ and ‘Peter le Walkar.’ Of the first Piers in his ‘Vision’ makes mention, where he speaks of
Wollene websteris,
And weveris of lynen,
Taillours, tanneris,
And Tokkeris bothe.
‘Cocke Lorelle’ also refers to—
Multiplyers and clothe thyckers,
Called fullers everychone.
