Is to bind Roapes about any Mast, yard, or the like, to keepe on a fish, or somewhat to strengthen it: Some∣times when the whoodings give way by the over-charging of the bolt-sprit,
they are faine to Would to the Bowes: which they doe, by pas∣sing a Cabell through both sides, and so bringing it in againe, and with hand speckes to twist it together as strong as may be: we never fish any Mast, or yard, but we Would it also: And that is called the Woul∣ding of the Mast or Yards. Also those Roapes, which come from the beake-head, over the bolt-spritt, and Lashes it fast downe from rising off the pillow, are called the Wouldings of the bolt-spritt.
