Note 1361 — THE HONORABLE HISTORIE of frier Bacon, and frier Bongay.

So Qtos., meaning 'in respect of'; and W. in his first ed. Wagner (Anglia, Vol. II.) would change to 'from,' saying "for mumbling würde heissen 'ich will ihn zum stillstand bringen dafür dass er ableiert.'" Let us rather trust Greene for English. Cf. his Ep. Ded. to Orpharion, "Else shall you discourage a gardener for grafting"; also his Never Too Late (ed. 1590), "A hat ... shelter for the sun," etc. The word means 'in respect of,' 'with regard to,' and then 'against' and 'from,' as here. (See, also, N. E. D.: For 23. d.)
