The                criminal was then unbound, and laid on a small wheel,                with his face upward, and his arms and legs doubled                under him, there to expire, if he had survived the                previous treatment. --Brande.             (c) (Naut.)

But                      [bd]volition[b8] always signifies the act of                      willing, and nothing else.                  --Reid.                         Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is                      appetite's controller; what we covet according to                      the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker.                         The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses                      anything.                                          --J. Edwards.          2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference             which results from the act or exercise of the power of             choice; a volition.                         The word [bd]will,[b8] however, is not always used                      in this its proper acceptation, but is frequently                      substituted for [bd]volition[b8], as when I say that                      my hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart.          3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a             decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.                         Thy will be done.                              --Matt. vi.                                                                               10.                         Our prayers should be according to the will of God.                                                                               --Law.          4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.          Note: [bd]Inclination is another word with which will is                frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says,                in Romeo and Juliet,                            My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . . Put                         this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it                         off. the word will is plainly used as, synonymous                with inclination; not in the strict logical sense, as                the immediate antecedent of action. It is with the same                latitude that the word is used in common conversation,                when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes,                against one's own will; or when we speak of doing a                thing willingly or unwillingly.[b8] --Stewart.          5. That which is strongly wished or desired.                         What's your will, good friar?            --Shak.                         The mariner hath his will.                  --Coleridge.          6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or             determine.                         Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies.                                                                               --Ps. xxvii.                                                                               12.          7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the             manner in which he would have his property or estate             disposed of after his death; the written instrument,             legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his             estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise.             See the Note under {Testament}, 1.          Note: Wills are written or nuncupative, that is, oral. See                {Nuncupative will}, under {Nuncupative}.          {At will} (Law), at pleasure. To hold an estate at the will             of another, is to enjoy the possession at his pleasure,             and be liable to be ousted at any time by the lessor or             proprietor. An estate at will is at the will of both             parties.          {Good will}. See under {Good}.          {Ill will}, enmity; unfriendliness; malevolence.          {To have one's will}, to obtain what is desired; to do what             one pleases.          {Will worship}, worship according to the dictates of the will             or fancy; formal worship. [Obs.]          {Will worshiper}, one who offers will worship. [Obs.] --Jer.             Taylor.          {With a will}, with willingness and zeal; with all one's             heart or strength; earnestly; heartily.

Will \Will\, v. t. & auxiliary. [imp. {Would}. Indic. present, I       will (Obs. I wol), thou wilt, he will (Obs. he wol); we, ye,       they will.] [OE. willen, imp. wolde; akin to OS. willan,       OFries. willa, D. willen, G. wollen, OHG. wollan, wellan,       Icel. & Sw. vilja, Dan. ville, Goth. wiljan, OSlav. voliti,       L. velle to wish, volo I wish; cf. Skr. v[rsdot] to choose,       to prefer. Cf. {Voluntary}, {Welcome}, {Well}, adv.]       1. To wish; to desire; to incline to have.                         A wife as of herself no thing ne sholde [should]                      Wille in effect, but as her husband wolde [would].                                                                               --Chaucer.                         Caleb said unto her, What will thou ? --Judg. i. 14.                         They would none of my counsel.            --Prov. i. 30.          2. As an auxiliary, will is used to denote futurity dependent             on the verb. Thus, in first person, [bd]I will[b8] denotes             willingness, consent, promise; and when [bd]will[b8] is             emphasized, it denotes determination or fixed purpose; as,             I will go if you wish; I will go at all hazards. In the             second and third persons, the idea of distinct volition,             wish, or purpose is evanescent, and simple certainty is             appropriately expressed; as, [bd]You will go,[b8] or             [bd]He will go,[b8] describes a future event as a fact             only. To emphasize will denotes (according to the tone or             context) certain futurity or fixed determination.          Note: Will, auxiliary, may be used elliptically for will go.                [bd]I'll to her lodgings.[b8] --Marlowe.          Note: As in shall (which see), the second and third persons                may be virtually converted into the first, either by                question or indirect statement, so as to receive the                meaning which belongs to will in that person; thus,                [bd]Will you go?[b8] (answer, [bd]I will go[b8]) asks                assent, requests, etc.; while [bd]Will he go?[b8]                simply inquires concerning futurity; thus, also,[bd]He                says or thinks he will go,[b8] [bd]You say or think you                will go,[b8] both signify willingness or consent.          Note: Would, as the preterit of will, is chiefly employed in                conditional, subjunctive, or optative senses; as, he                would go if he could; he could go if he would; he said                that he would go; I would fain go, but can not; I would                that I were young again; and other like phrases. In the                last use, the first personal pronoun is often omitted;                as, would that he were here; would to Heaven that it                were so; and, omitting the to in such an adjuration.                [bd]Would God I had died for thee.[b8] Would is used                for both present and future time, in conditional                propositions, and would have for past time; as, he                would go now if he were ready; if it should rain, he                would not go; he would have gone, had he been able.                Would not, as also will not, signifies refusal. [bd]He                was angry, and would not go in.[b8] --Luke xv. 28.                Would is never a past participle.          Note: In Ireland, Scotland, and the United States, especially                in the southern and western portions of the United                States, shall and will, should and would, are often                misused, as in the following examples:                            I am able to devote as much time and attention to                         other subjects as I will [shall] be under the                         necessity of doing next winter.      --Chalmers.                            A countryman, telling us what he had seen,                         remarked that if the conflagration went on, as it                         was doing, we would [should] have, as our next                         season's employment, the Old Town of Edinburgh to                         rebuild.                                       --H. Miller.                            I feel assured that I will [shall] not have the                         misfortune to find conflicting views held by one                         so enlightened as your excellency. --J. Y. Mason.

Will \Will\, v. i.       To be willing; to be inclined or disposed; to be pleased; to       wish; to desire.                   And behold, there came a leper and worshiped him,                saying, Lord if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.                And Jesus . . . touched him, saying, I will; be thou                clean.                                                   --Matt. viii.                                                                               2, 3.          Note: This word has been confused with will, v. i., to                choose, which, unlike this, is of the weak conjugation.          {Will I, nill I}, [or] {Will ye, hill ye}, [or] {Will he,       nill he}, whether I, you, or he will it or not; hence,             without choice; compulsorily; -- sometimes corrupted into             willy nilly.

wall interj.   [WPI] 1. An indication of confusion, usually spoken    with a quizzical tone: "Wall??"   2. A request for further    explication.   Compare {octal forty}.   3.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wall       Cities were surrounded by walls, as distinguished from "unwalled       villages" (Ezek. 38:11; Lev. 25:29-34). They were made thick and       strong (Num. 13:28; Deut. 3:5). Among the Jews walls were built       of stone, some of those in the temple being of great size (1       Kings 6:7; 7:9-12; 20:30; Mark 13:1, 2). The term is used       metaphorically of security and safety (Isa. 26:1; 60:18; Rev.       21:12-20). (See {FENCE}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Well       (Heb. beer), to be distinguished from a fountain (Heb. 'ain). A       "beer" was a deep shaft, bored far under the rocky surface by       the art of man, which contained water which percolated through       the strata in its sides. Such wells were those of Jacob and       Beersheba, etc. (see Gen. 21:19, 25, 30, 31; 24:11; 26:15,       18-25, 32, etc.). In the Pentateuch this word beer, so rendered,       occurs twenty-five times.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Whale       The Hebrew word _tan_ (plural, tannin) is so rendered in Job       7:12 (A.V.; but R.V., "sea-monster"). It is rendered by       "dragons" in Deut. 32:33; Ps. 91:13; Jer. 51:34; Ps. 74:13       (marg., "whales;" and marg. of R.V., "sea-monsters"); Isa. 27:1;       and "serpent" in Ex. 7:9 (R.V. marg., "any large reptile," and       so in ver. 10, 12). The words of Job (7:12), uttered in bitter       irony, where he asks, "Am I a sea or a whale?" simply mean,       "Have I a wild, untamable nature, like the waves of the sea,       which must be confined and held within bounds, that they cannot       pass?" "The serpent of the sea, which was but the wild, stormy       sea itself, wound itself around the land, and threatened to       swallow it up...Job inquires if he must be watched and plagued       like this monster, lest he throw the world into disorder"       (Davidson's Job).                The whale tribe are included under the general Hebrew name       _tannin_ (Gen. 1:21; Lam. 4:3). "Even the sea-monsters       [tanninim] draw out the breast." The whale brings forth its       young alive, and suckles them.                It is to be noticed of the story of Jonah's being "three days       and three nights in the whale's belly," as recorded in Matt.       12:40, that here the Gr. ketos means properly any kind of       sea-monster of the shark or the whale tribe, and that in the       book of Jonah (1:17) it is only said that "a great fish" was       prepared to swallow Jonah. This fish may have been, therefore,       some great shark. The white shark is known to frequent the       Mediterranean Sea, and is sometimes found 30 feet in length.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wheel       (Heb. galgal; rendered "wheel" in Ps. 83:13, and "a rolling       thing" in Isa. 17:13; R.V. in both, "whirling dust"). This word       has been supposed to mean the wild artichoke, which assumes the       form of a globe, and in autumn breaks away from its roots, and       is rolled about by the wind in some places in great numbers.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wool       one of the first material used for making woven cloth (Lev.       13:47, 48, 52, 59; 19:19). The first-fruit of wool was to be       offered to the priests (Deut. 18:4). The law prohibiting the       wearing of a garment "of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen       together" (Deut. 22:11) may, like some other laws of a similar       character, have been intended to express symbolically the       separateness and simplicity of God's covenant people. The wool       of Damascus, famous for its whiteness, was of great repute in       the Tyrian market (Ezek. 27:18).
