1 syn-bryne

sinful passion :-- Deófol þe ús on lífe mid þǽre synbryne (mid þǽre synne bryne onǽlþ?. The Latin is: Spiritus qui ad peccandum succendit, and the English version is imperfect. As bryne is masculine, þǽre synbryne is certainly incorrect, and needs some emendation like that suggested), Verc. Först. 143, 18. syn-bryne
