Withsake

Well! the king then openly declared to the priest and to them all, that he would firmly "withsake" and renounce idolatry, and receive the faith of Christ.

[...] as Christ did not withsake, a love not proceeding from God and referring all to him, which the Apostle here forbids.

[...] there appears a reference to the body "withsaking" the devil (G47), a clear indication that there was a time in the life of the body when it was not so thorough a sinner.
