Goth. Gast, peregrinus; A. S. Gest; Dut. Gast; Ger. Gast; Sw. Gaest. Wachter is inclined to derive (because guests were anciently held in such honour) from Goth. Ga-aist-an, honorare, revereri, to honour, to revere. More probably from the A. S. Ge-wist-an, cibum, victum instruere, dare, præbere, epulari; to provide, give or supply food, or victuals. The Low Lat. Gistum (Du Cange) was applied to canaticum, comestio, pastus, prandium, all denoting-food or victuals.

Any one fed or feasted, supplied with food or victuals; any one received and provided with food and lodging; the correlative to host.

To guest, the verb, used by Chapman,-to lodge, to dwell as a guest.

GUILD.

A. S. Gild:

Dut. Gilde,

GUILDABLE. gulde; Ger. Gilde, a society; from A. S. Gild-an, to yield or pay; and so called, says Skinner, quia collegæ pecuniam pro communi sumtu contribuunt. See in Spelman, Gloss. Arch. And see the quotations from Pennant and Blackstone. Guild then is

A payment or contribution, a tax, and consequentially, those who pay or contribute; a society, a fraternity. Guild is also applied to the place where the society met.

Paying to them that haue saued and kept the same couenable for their trauaile, that is to say, by the discretion of the shirifes & bailifes, or other our ministers in the places guildable.-Rastall. Collection of Statutes, p. 279.

Id. Ib. an. 1554. It was originally governed by a guild and guild-master; which were the origin of corporations, and took rise before the time of the conquest; the name being Saxon, signifying a fraternity, which unites and flings its effects into a com mon stock, and is derived from gildan, to pay. A guild was a public feast, to commemorate the time of the institution: and the guild-hall the place in which the fraternity assembled.-Pennant. Journey from Chester. Lichfield.

Gild signified among the Saxons a fraternity, derived from the verb gildan, to pay, because every man paid his share towards the expenses of the community. And hence their place of meeting is frequently called the guild or guildhall. Blackstone. Commentaries, vol. i. p. 471.

or appearance to.

"Guilt is ge-wig-led, guiled, guil'd, guilt; the past part. of ge-wiglian: and to find guilt in any one, is to find that he has been guiled, or, as we now say, beguiled; as wicked means witched or be wicked." Guilt, in our legal proceedings, is as pronounce guilt is to pronounce cribed to the instigation of the devil. A guilty man, then, is

witched. To

One who has been beguiled-to do wrong, to de evil, commit injustice or iniquity, wickedness; a crime, a sin: one who has done so; without reference to the guile or deception.

The satire should be like the porcupine,

First, never in any case to act contrary to the perswasion and conviction of our conscience. For that certainly is a great sin, and that which properly offends the conscience and renders us guilty; guilt being nothing else but trouble arising in our minds, from a consciousness of having done contrary to what we are verily perswaded was our duty: and though perhaps this perswasion is not always well grounded, yet the guilt is the same so long as the perswasion continues; because every man's conscience is a kind of God to him, and accuseth or absolves him according to the present perswasion of it.--Tillotson, vol. i. Ser. 38.

Of those let him the guilly roll commence, Who has betray'd a master and a prince. Dryden. Suum Cuique. For my part, when I consider the apostle's command, "Be ye angry, and sin not," I cannot but apprehend, that when our passions swell into excess, they are indeed contaminated by the guiltiness of their productions, but confer not on them a meritoriousness, which themselves want. Boyle. Works, vol. v. p. 12.

Arguments against Christianity, be they serious or ludicrous, are indifferently (not always in the same degree, or with the same guilliness) attempts to subvert Christianity, and are consequently to be punished, according to the degree of their malignity, one as well as the other.

An involuntary act, as it has no claim to merit, so neither can it induce any guilt: the concurrence of the will, when it has its choice either to do or to avoid the fact in question, being the only thing that renders human actions either praiseworthy or culpable.-Blackstone. Com. b. iv. c. 2.

They invented a considerable number of methods of purgation or trial, to preserve innocence from the danger of false witnesses, and in consequence of a notion that God would always interpose miraculously to vindicate the guiltless. Id. Ib. c. 27.

One cannot but be astonished at the folly and impiety of pronouncing a man guilty, unless he was cleared by a miracle; and of expecting that all the powers of Nature should be suspended, by an immediate interposition of Providence to save the innocent, whenever it was presumptuously required.-Id. Ib. b. iv. c. 2.

GUILLOTINE. An instrument for the infliction of capital punishment, proposed to the National Assembly of France by a physician, M. Guillotine, of Lyons, and from him it received its name: his project was adopted by a decree of the 20th of March, 1792. It appears to be very similar in construction to the Maiden formerly used at Halifax, in Yorkshire. (See Holinshed's Description of England, c. 11.) Evelyn (Memoirs, vol. i. p. 170) states that he saw an instrument of destruction in use at Naples, which he calls " frame, like ours at Halifax."

GULCH. Gulch, says Whalley, is a stupid fat-headed fellow. The word occurs in the old comedy of Lingua; "You muddy gulch, darest look me in the face?" (Act v. sc. 16.) Skinner calls Gulchin, parvus gulo, and derives it from the Ger. Geck, foolish.

A GU'LED. word, says Du Cange, which our heralds frequently use to denote a red colour in arms or ensigns; Skinner thinks it may be so called from the redness of a cock's throat, (gutturis Galli.)

The French and Dutch are said by Skinner to be either from the Lat. Gula, the Gr. Koλnos, or from the sound; and the last, he thinks, the more probable. | Menage decides for the Gr. KoλTos; the Italian and French, however, do not take immediately from the Greek, but through the Latin. The Fr. Gouffre is derived by Wachter from Ger. Gaffen; A. S. Ge-apan, to gape, (qv.) to open. In Norfolk, a mow or bayfull of a barn is called a gulph, and a bay or division of a barn, a gulphstead, goaf-stead, or go-stead, (Grose.)

Gulf, or Gulph, is used as equivalent to the Latin words sinus and gurges,

A bay; a whirlpool, or " depth that swallows up whatsoever approaches or comes into it."
