After he had sent Popilius before in spial, and perceived that the avenues were open in all parts, he marched forward himself, and by the second gist came to Dium [secundis castris pervenit ad Dium].—Holland, Livy, p. 1174.
The guides who were to conduct them on their way had commandment so to cast their gists and journeys that by three of the clock in the morning of the third day they might assail Pythoum.—Id., ib. p. 1193.
| Glory, | } |
| Glorious, | |
| Gloriously. |
‘Glory’ is never employed now in the sense of ‘vain-glory,’ nor ‘glorious’ in that of ‘vain-glorious,’ as once they often were.

So commonly actions begun in glory shut up in shame.—Bishop Hall, Contemplations, On Babel.
To that intent God maid him thus,
That man suld nocht be glorious,
Nor in himself na thing suld se
But mater of humilitie.
