The Spartans were a nice people, in point of naturalization; whereby, while they kept their compasse, they stood firme; but when they did spread, and their boughes were becommen too great for their stemme, they became a windfall upon the suddaine (potentia eorum subito corruit). Bacon. Of Kingdomes and States. Essay 29.

In composition, in old English writers (see the Quotations from Wiclif), as in A. S. retains its meaning (join), and is constantly used as a prefix equivalent to the Lat. Cum (or I should rather say, is used pre-posed, without being fixed). The Lat. Comes is rendered by Wiclif a With follower, and a Co-heir is a With-heir, a follower or heir with When With follows a verb, it is the custom of lexicographers to explain according to the context. Thus, "to agree with me," "to fight with me;" in the first instance they imply, Cum; in the latter, Contra: though in both cases the actors join in one purpose. So to withstand, in A. S. With, and Wither-standan, implies two parties joined in one purpose; keeping or gaining a stand or position; though adverse to each other. And hence the usage may have been extended to cases, not admitting such an explanation. In the three,-With-draw, With-hold, With-stand, there is a strong coincidence of With and the Lat. Re, Re-trahere, re-tinere, resistere. WITH, s. (Withy.) Shadewis coneren his umbre; withiene trees (L. V. salewis, salices) of the strem enuyrounen hym. Wic. Job xl. 17.
