Context
“The skins of animals will rouse men from their silence with great outcries and curses. (Balls for playing Games.)
Very often a thing that is itself broken is the occasion of much union. (That is the Comb made of split Cane which unites the threads of Silk.)
The wind passing through the skins of animals will make men dance. (That is the Bag-pipe, which makes people dance.)
1303. *( Of Walnut trees, that are beaten. )*
Those which have done best will be most beaten, and their offspring taken and flayed or peeled, and their bones broken or crushed.” source
