  3. medle. Mix.
  4. pynes. A nut, or fruit. Vide Gloss.
  5. clowes. Cloves.
  6. hool. Whole. How can it be the flour, or powder, if whole? Quære, flower of cand for mace.
  7. warly. Warily, gently.
  8. not to thyk. So as to be too thick; of perhaps, not to thicken.
  9. brawn. Fleshy part. Few Capons are cut now except about Darking in Surry; they have been excluded by the turkey, a more magnificent, but perhaps not a better fowl.
  10. ysteysed, or teysed, as afterwards. Pulled in pieces by the fingers, called teezing Nº 36. This is done now with flesh of turkeys and thought better than mincing. Vide Junius, voce Tease.
