SET UPONE SEVIN, or ON SEVIN, a phrase
which Jamieson, v. Scheidis, gives up as
inexplicable, and yet which is of such fre-
quent occurrence as to deserve more notice
than he has chosen to bestow on it. It is
in most cases spoken of God, and the ori-
ginal idea seems to imply the creation of
the world in seven days, whence it means to
set or dispose in order, GG. 1045. Compare
the Pystyl of Susan, xxi. 4; and Towneley
Mysteries, pp. 85, 97, 118. But in GG.
508,668, the phrase appears to have ac-
quired another sense, namely, to encounter
in battle. In the same sense it occurs in
