The derivations of this phrase suggested by Junius, Tyrwhitt, Thomson, Jamieson, and myself (Gloss.

NORNE, NURNE, to proffer? GK. 1661, 1669, 1823. NORNE, pr. t. allege? 2443. NURNED, p. t. proffered? 1771. The use of this verb seems to be almost peculiar to the author of the poems in MS. Nero A. x. In another passage, I find it thus: An other nayed also, & nurned this cause, "I haf zerned & zat 30kke3 of oxen,

& for my hyzes hem bozt, to bowe haf I mester; To se hem pulle in the plow aproche me byhouez."-f. 57.
