Ést-mere, es; m. [ést = eást east, mere a lake] The Frische Haff, or fresh water lake which is on the north of east Prussia. Hav or Haf signifies a sea, in Danish and Swedish. It is written Haff in German, and it is now used to denote all the lakes connected with the rivers on the coast of Prussia and Pomerania. The Frische Haff is about sixty miles long, and from six to fifteen broad. It is separated by a cham of sand banks from the Baltic Sea, with which, at the present time, it communicates by one strait called the Gat. This strait is on the north-east of the Haff, near the fortress of Pillau, Malte Brunts Univ. Geog. vol. vii. p. 14. This Gat, as Dr. Bell informs me, 'seems to have been formed, and to be kept open by the superior force of the Pregel stream.' This gentleman has a perfect knowledge of the Frische Haff and the neighbourhood, as he received his early education in the vicinity, and matriculated at the University of Königsberg, near the west end of the Haff. I am indebted to Dr. Bell for the map of the celebrated German Historian, Professor Voigt, adapted to his 'Geschichte Preussens von den ältesten Zeiten, 9 vols. 8vo, Königsberg, 1827-1839.' In this map there are four openings from the Frische Haff to the Baltic. 'It is certain,' says Malte Brun, 'that in 1394 the mouth of one strait was situated at Lochsett, six or eight miles north of the fortress of Pillau.' Voigt's map gives the year 1311. Id. vol. vii. p. 15. The next is the Gat of Pillau, at present the only opening to the Baltic, with the date 1510. The third Gat, marked in the map with the date 1456, is about ten or twelve miles south-west of Pillau; and the fourth, without any date, is much nearer the west end of the Frische Haff :-- Seó Wisle líþ út of Weonodlande, and líþ in Éstmere; and se Éstmere is húru fíftene míla brád. Ðonne cymeþ Ilfing eástan in Éstmere of ðæm mere, ðe Truso standeþ in staðe the Vistula flows out of Weonodland and runs into the Frische Haf [Estmere]; and the Frische Haff is, at least, fifteen miles broad. Then the Elbing comes from the east into the Frische Haff, out of the lake [Drausen] on the shore of which Truso stands, Ors. 1, 1; Bos. 22, 5-8.

Baptem
and
Baptym
with
the
verb
Baptise
is
used
by
Wycliffe,
and
Baptyme
and
Baptyzyn
by
the
compiler
of
the
Promptorium.
Wycliffe
also
uses
the
1st
person
of
the
verb
I
waisch
in
Mt.
3,
11;
and
the
two
forms
of
the
pp.
waischen,
waischun,
in
Mt.
3,
6,
and
Mk.
10,
38,
39.
The
form
Bapteme
seems
to
have
been
introduced
into
the
language,
through
the
French,
by
Robert
Manning,
called
de
Brunne,
from
Bourne,
near
Depyng
in
Lincolnshire,
in
his
translation
of
Peter
Langtoft's
Chronicle,
and
to
have
been
current,
with
slight
variation
in
the
orthography,
till
nearly
the
middle
of
the
16th
century
=
1550.
Thus
the
forms
Baptim
and
Baptime
appear
in
the
version
of
the
N.T.
by
Tyndale
in
1526,
and
Baptym,
Baptyme
in
that
by
Cranmer
in
1539.
In
the
version
made
by
Coverdale
and
other
Protestant
exiles
at
Geneva
in
1559,
in
the
Anglo-Rhemish
version
made
by
Cardinal
Alien
and
other
Romanists
at
Rheims
in
1559,
and
in
the
authorized
version
of
1611,
the
word
is
written
Baptisme.
This
last
form
is
also
found
in.

Kmbl. 363; Sal. 181. Grein writes 'gewésan; p. -weós,' and compares 'ymbweoson' in the Northumbrian Gospels. But this word is wrongly written by Bouterwek, it should be 'ymbwoeson,' see Mk. Skt. p. 1. The Durham Ritual glosses 'conversatio' by 'giwosa,' and this may throw light on the meaning of 'gewesan.' Both Goth. and O. H. Ger. have the word 'gawisan, gi-wesan,' in the sense to remain, abide; restare.
