1284. volage, flighty, giddy; see Manc. Ta. H 239.

1321. his thankes, willingly; see Kn. Ta. A 1626, 2107.

1348. In ll. 1461, 1582, the F. vergier is translated by yerde. So here, and in l. 1447 (as Dr. Kaluza suggests) we must read yerde in, to make sense. The scribe easily turned yerde in into gardin, but ruined the sense by it. So in l. 1366, yerde would be better than gardin.
1359. greet foisoun, a great abundance (of them).
