To Sease, or Seasing,
Is to make fast (or as you would say) to bind fast any roapes together, with some small roape-yarne, marling or any line; Also the fastning of a block at the end of a pendant; Tac∣kle, fall, garnet, or the like, is called seising, it being bound to with some small line, or the like: So if any roape be too long (as the shrowdes are ever) and the end be bound up unto the same roape with any thing, we call it seasing. So that in generall, the word seasing, implies as much as binding any thing together, so as that they cannot slip out, as seasing the Tacks into the clew and the like: The boates seasing, is a roape made fast into a little chaine or a ring, in fore-ship of the boate, and is the roape which (in Harbours) they make fast the boate by, to the ships side.
