Sancto, "Cum sancto ... perverteris" (M[15],c), see Psalm xvii. 27.

Scamble, Scambling, "I doubt not to scamble and rake" (R[187],c)—"fall thus to scambling" (R[194],d)—"as quick scambling as ever I saw" (R[221],c), i.e. pilfer and plunder when and how possible; see "Catch that catch may" (R[187],b), and cf. Cotgrave, "Scamblingly, catch that catch may."—"Much more being scambled up after this manner."—Holinshed, Chronicle (Epis. Dedic.).

Scape, "the scape of extreats" (R[183],d), trick, cheat: see Respublica. "They readily pardon all faults and scapes committed by negligence."—North, Plutarch, p. 206.

Scottling, "a pretty scottling" (M[6],d), scuttling.

Scoured, "scoured a pair of fetters" (M[28],d), a very common piece of Old Cant = to go, or lie, in, or wear fetters: usually, "to scour the cramp-rings or derbies." "Then to the quier-ken to scoure the cramp-ring."—Dekker, Beggar's Curse (1608). "And 'cause we are poor made to scour the cramp-ring."—Dekker, Lanthorne and Candlelight. The original is scoryde.

Sectourship, see Respublica.

Secule, "secule thyself" (IP[342],d),? a misprint for secure.

Sereful, "a sereful man" (N[81],c), I suspect from the context that this is a misprint for fearful = full of fear, timid. Or it may be akin to the use of sere by Ascham, characterised by Nares as "peculiar" to that writer = individual, particular, single: whence sereful would mean "peculiar," "full of idiosyncracies," "difficult."

Shaked, "They shaked me up" (R[255],d), shook.
