Chapter CRANNY to CREASE of C by The Hobson Jobson Dictionary

cris (see Castanheda, iii. 379). And in English we find a verb to ‘crease’; see in Purchas, i. 532, and this:

1604.—“This Boyhog we tortured not, because of his confession, but crysed him.”—Scot’s Discourse of Iava, in Purchas, i. 175.

[1704.—“At which our people…were most of them creezed.”—Yule, Hedges’ Diary, Hak. Soc. ii. cccxxxvii.]

Also in Braddel’s Abstract of the Sijara Malayu:

“He was in consequence creased at the shop of a sweetmeat seller, his blood flowed on the ground, but his body disappeared miraculously.”—Sijara Malayu, in J. Ind. Arch. v. 318.
