Excerpt from A Glossary and Etymological Dictionary, of Obsolete and Uncommon Words, Antiquated Phrases, and Proverbs Illustrative of Early English Literature, Comprising Chiefly Those Not to Be Found in Our Ordinary Dictionaries: With Historical Notices of Ancient Customs and Manners Bodge. This word is undoubtedly derived from the French banger, which Cotgrave defines to budge or stir. Milton, in his Comm, speaks of those budge doctors of the Stoic fur; but the adjective is defined to be brisk or jocund, terms which could not be applied to a doctor in divinity: it is pro bable that the poet meant to name them from budge, the lambs' wool robes worn by judges and high ecclesiastical oficers. The quotation from Gammer Gurton's Needle under. This title is ih correct, arising from a misprint in the old Oopy; the inference drawn from it is equally so.
