Qdake

To quake (from the same root as •quick' [ = alive], 'quicken,' cf. Pier.? Plmimuin, 'Quook as hit quyke were') is to shake, usually with fear (so alwaj-s in AV, where the transit, sense does not occur). Thns lie 12'' ' Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake' (f>t0oj34s tliu xal (v- rpofiot). George Fox in his Journal says, 'Justice Bonnet of Derby was the first that called us Quakers, becausel bid them tremble at the word of the Lord. This was in the year 16.50.' Fox had used the verb ' quake,' which probably struck the Justice's ear a« odd because already antiquated in this sense. Yet RV retains it everywhere, and adds Mt 28 ' For fear of him the watchers did qnake' (for A'V 'shake,' Gr. adu, wliich is tr 'quake' in AV and R'V at 27"). Ainer. RV in- troduces 'quake' also at Ps 18''. J. HASTINGS. QUALITY Is used in Ad. Est 1 1 ''*"»« in the sense of rank : ' The stock and quality of Mardocheas.' Cf. Shaks. Uenry V.
