Shab

I have shabbed him off purely

Certain Nipnets intended to have sheltred themselves under Vncas; but he perceiving it would be distastful to the English, soon shab'd them off.

I have shabb'd him off purely.

They shab'd […] Thomas aff to hell.

[…] but when that [money] was gone, and he had not as much ground, that he could call his own, as would sod a lark, they soon shabbed him off.

I hold the people in too much esteem, to shab them off with any thing of a secondary quality, whilst Providence has blessed me with the means of providing them the best.

[…] and so the fat Parson shabb'd off,[…]

We bided a moment as the push we were part of moved forward and took the opportunity to slip deftly back through it, thus shabbing off from our prey.
