=frese=, frese your, our, bowes of ewe, III, 67, 215; 80, 215: seems to be corrupt. The interpretation in Donaldson’s Supplement to Jamieson, where “to frese a bow” (cited as if a phrase in full use) is said to mean unbend, slack, would be entirely inappropriate here, since three men are to make a desperate attack on two hundred and fifty (bende your bowes, st. 218). =f=, =g= have, bend we, the required sense. Chese will not do; they have but one bow each. leese==loose is possible, or dress, or even, free.
