* " Brandiron, or posnet. Chytra." Baret's Alvcarie, 1580. 



f A brewing vessel. The Prompt. Parv. has " Kymlyne or Kelare, vesselle. 

 Cunula." The word is found in Chaucer. Ilalliwell gives Kembing, a brew- 

 ing vessel, as a Lincolnshire word. In Cath. Angl. the word appears as "a 

 kymnelle, amula." Mr. Heritage, in his note to the Cath., describes the 

 word as meaning "a large tub, made of upright staves, hooped together in the 

 manner of a cask. They are used for salting meat in, for brewing, and such 

 like purposes."

** " A livery," says Way (Prompt. Parv., 308), " denotes whatever was dis- 

 pensed by the lord to his officials or domestics annually, or at certain seasons ; 

 whether money, victuals, or garments." Halliwell gives "a livery cupboard," 

 q. v. The Cath. Angl. has " lyveray of mete." 



tt See previous Note. 



XX Rapier ? 



§§ Probably so called from its- proximity to a draw-well. Within a few feet 

 of the window of an oak-panelled room of a house at Cold Aston, in Dronfield 

 parish, called Ockley Hall, was a deep draw-well.
