[*] The MS. reading blinne should clearly be blunne. A few other suggestions of emendations will be found in the [Glossarial Index]. See the words Arwe, Birþe, Felde, Sor, Tauhte, Þenne, Thit, Werewed, Wreken, &c. See also the suggestions in the preface, pp. xxxix, xli, xlvi, xlvii.
[124] So in MS. Qu. faste, as in next line.
[125] MS. here repeats messe, by mistake. Read pateyn. Cf. l. 187.
[126] MS. wīman, i.e. winman or wimman; but we are sure, from l. 174, that winnan is meant.
