Standing-parts of Running roapes.

The standing parts, are those parts of running roapes (or rather that end of a running roape) which is made fast to any part of the ship, to distinguish it from the other part, whereon we use to hale: (as the standing part of the sheate, is that part which is made fast, by a clinch into a ring of the ships-quar∣ter, and the like,) for when we say, hale the sheate, that is meant by the running-part, but if they say, over-hale the sheate, then they hale upon the standing part; the same is of all tackles, and running roapes.
