Ils se faisonient tenir à douze;

They made themselues be held by twelue: or, were so fierce that twelue were faine to hold them.

À.

precedeing the Infinitiue mood of a verbe, signifies, to, serving to, for to, of purpose for; as, S'il a chose à dire; vn clou à pendre des sacs. Sometimes it either gives the verb a participiall sence, as, It est à dormir, he is sleeping, or new, or neere asleepe; or, the verb being present, it denotes the future, as, I'ay cela à faire, I am to doe that hereafter.
