Disallow (Hastings' Dictionary)

'Allow' is in AV either to ' approve ' or ' accept ' (see ALLOW); 'disallow 'is always distinctly to 'reject.' So Nu 3i)»''<. 8. ii (»c').T refuse, reject ; see Ps 141" IIV) ; and 1 P a-' (dwoio/ti^dfo), RV 'reject'). So Latimer {Scrm. and Bern., 11), 'I must not sutler the devil to have the victory over me. I must disallow his in- structions and suggestions.' J. Hastings. DISANNUL, which scarcely difTers in meaning from 'annul,' the prefix being only intensive, is now going out of use.

RV removes it only from Gal 3'°, giving 'make void' instead (Gr. aOeriio, of ivhich the subst. adlTTtait is tr'' 'disannulling' He 7" and retained by RV). Amer. RV prefers 'annul' in Job 40», Is 14" 28'». The use of the word in biblical English may be illustrated by Coverdale's tr" of Is 14" ' Kor yf the Lordb of hoostes determe a thing, who wyl dysanullo it?' ; and Tindale's tr° of He 8" 'In that ho sayth a new testament he hath abrogat (veraXalaKev) the olde.

Now that which is disanulled (TTaKaioiinevor) and wexed olde, is redy to vannysche awaye.' J. Hastings. DISAPPOINT has a stronger meaning in AV VOL. I. — SQ tlian in mod. English, Job 5" 'He disapjiointeth the devices of the crafty ' (-i:d, RV ' frustrateth,' as Is 44=5 ^^ V, HV ; so Pr 15^) ; Ps 17'^ ' Arise, O Lord, d. him' (v.; .

ir^p, RV 'confront him,' RVm 'forestall him,' Chcyne 'intercept him'); Jth 16' ' the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman ' {ridiTT)<rev aiiroii, RV ' brought them to nought ' : see under Dlsannul). Cf. Hall, Hard Text.i (1633), 311: 'All those curious and wealthy Trades . . shall be utterly undone and di.sappointed.' J. Hastings.
