Antedating of "Pastrami"

[victor steinbok]

The source is the same as the OED quote, which is dated as 1601 diary,
published in 1625. I believe that the 1601 dating is a bit off and the
actual diary date is 1602. But the main point is that it is the same source.

I cited two GB locations--for the 1737 and 1905 editions. But the text is
the same--it was not changed from the 1600s original.
