Underwrite

2 Mac 9" ' He wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten ' (rijv imayi^faiL^vrj, imaToX-h")- The word is used literally, as RV ' the letter written below,' the words of the letter being then quoted. Cf. Shaks. Macbeth, V. viu. 26— ' We'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are. Painted upon a pole, and underwrit " Here may you see the tyrant." ' J. HASTINGS.

UNEASY is now restless, but in its only occu- rence in AV it means literally ' not easy,' ' difli- cult' : 2 Mac 12-' ' The town was hard to oesie^, and uneasy to come unto' (SvairpbaiToi, RV 'diffi- cult of access '). So Shaks. Tempest, I. u. 451— * This swift business I must uneasy make, lest too light winninj Make the prize light.' The modern sense is quite as old, thus // Henry IV. III. i. 10— • Why rather, sleep, llest thou in smoky cribs. Upon uneasy palleU stretching theeV ' J. Hastings.
