Not in the OED w/this meaning, though ‘Here endeth the lyfe of the
moost ferefullest and unmercyfullest and myschevous Robert the devill
which was afterwards called the servaunt of our Lorde Jhesu Cryste.
Emprinted in Fletestrete in [at] the sygne of the sonne by Wynkyn de
Worde’ is supplied as an example and might be construed as an "other
comment."
