Seethe (Hastings' Dictionary)
To seethe is to boil, as Bemers, Froissart, xvii, 'These Scottish men . . take with them no [lurveyance of bread nor wine, for their usage and soberness is such in time of war, that they wUl pass in the journey a great long time with Hesli half sodden, without bread, and drink of the river water without wine, and they neither care for pots nor pans, for they seethe beasts in their own skins.'
The old past tense is sod, Gn 25'-* ' Jacob sod pottage ' ; 1 Es 1 '= ' As for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots and i)ans with a good savour'; and iiast ptcp. sodden, Ex 12" ' Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water.' J. Hastings.
