[Footnote 5: Printed at London, MDCLXXI. The part, which Chatterton seems to have chiefly consulted, is that, which begins at Sign. U u u u, and is entitled "_Etymologicon vocum omnium antiquarum Anglicarum, quæ usque a Wilhelmo Victore invaluerunt, &c._"]
[Footnote 6: I will state shortly some of those words, which have been cited above, p. 313. as _either not ancient or not used in their ancient sense_, with their corresponding articles in Skinner.
ABESSIE; _Humility_. C.--Abessed;--_Humiliatus_. Sk.
ABORNE; _Burnished_, C.--Borne; _Burnish_. Sk. It was usual with Chatterton to prefix _a_ to words of all sorts, without any regard to custom or propriety. See in the Alphabetical Gloss. _Aboune, Abreave, Acome, Aderne, Adygne, Agrame, Agreme, Alest_, &c.
ABOUNDE. This word Chatterton has not interpreted, but the context shews that it is used in the sense of _good_. So that I suspect it was taken from the following article in Skinner. Abone,--a Fr. G. Abonnir; _Bonum_ facere.
ABREDYNGE: _Upbraiding_. C.--Abrede, exp. _Upbraid_. Sk.
ACROOL; _Faintly_. C.--Crool, exp. _Murmurare_. Sk. See the remark upon ABORNE.
ADENTE, ADENTED: _Fastened, annexed_. C.--Adent;--_Configere, Conjungere_. Sk.
ALUSTE has no interpretation: but it is used in the sense of _raise_. Perhaps it may have been derived from a mistaken reading of Alust, which is explained by Skinner to mean _Tollere_. See the remarks upon _Alyse_ and _Bestoiker_, p. 328, 329.
DERNE, DERNIE; _Woeful, lamentable, cruel_. C.--Derne; _Dirus, crudelis_. Sk.
DROORIE; _Modesty_. C.--Drury; _Modestia_. Sk.
FONS, FONNES; _Fancys, Devices_. C.--Fonnes; _Devises_. Sk.
KNOPPED; _Fastened, chained, congealed_. C.--Knopped; _Tied_. Sk.
LITHIE: _Humble_. C.--Lithy; _Humble_. Sk. But in truth I do not believe that there is any such word. Skinner probably found it in his edition of Chaucer's _Cuckow and Nightingale_, ver. 14. where the MSS. have LITHER (_wicked_), which is undoubtedly the right reading.]
