To chide; reprehend; repress; censure: the censure given: rebukable is worthy of rebuke. Thy rebuke hath broken my heart. Psalm lxix. The revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. Hosea. He was rebuked for his iniquity; the dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet. 2 Peter. Why bear you these rebukes, and answer not? Shakspeare. I am ashamed; does not the stone rebuke me, For being more stone than it? Rebukable And worthy shameful check it were, to stand Id. Id. The proud he tamed, the penitent he cheered, The rebukes and chiding to children, should be in grave and dispassionate words. Shall Cibber's son, without rebuke, Locke. Pope.

REBUFF', n. s. Fr. rebuffade, Ital. rebuffo. The strong rebuff of some tumultous cloud, Milton's Paradise Lost. Some citizens, wanting arms, have coined themselves certain devices alluding to their names, which we call rebus; Master Jugge the printer, in many of his books, took, to express his name, a nightingale sitting in a bush with a scrole in her mouth, wherein was written jugge, jugge, jugge. Peacham. The origin of the REBUS or name-device, as Camden styles it, is generally attributed to the priests of Picardy, who, it seems, anciently used to make certain libels, entitled de rebus quæ geruntur, being satires on the transactions and manners of the day; in which they made great use of these allusions, omitting and breaking words and supplying them with paintings. Camden tells us, the rebus was in great esteem among our forefathers; and that he was nobody who could not hammer out of his name an invention by this wit-craft, and picture it accordingly. The Sieur des Accords has made an ample collection of the most famous rebuses de Picardie, and Camden has done something of the same kind in his Remains. Abel Drugger's device in Ben Jonson's Alchemist, and Jack of Newbury, in the Spectator, are known to every body. But the rebus, being once raised to signposts, grew out of fashion at court. This fancy for representing the name by some device seems to have existed in the pure Augustan age: Cicero in a dedication to the gods, inscribed Marcus Tullius, with a little pea, REBUTTER (from the French bouter, to put back or bar) is the answer of defendant to plaintiff's surrejoinder; and plaintiff's answer to the rebutter is called a surrebutter. Rebutter is also where a man by deed or fine grants to warran y any land or hereditament to another; and the person making the warranty, or his heir, sues him to whom the warranty is made, or his heir or assignee, for the same thing; if he who is so sued plead the deed or fine with warranty, and pray judgment, if the plaintiff shall be received to demand the thing which he ought to warrant to the party against the warranty in the deed, &c., this is called a rebutter. And if I grant to a tenant to hold without impeachment of waste, and afterwards implead him for waste done, he may debar me of this action by showing my grant which is Neglected long, she let the secret rest, Till love recalled it to her lab'ring breast. It is strange the soul should never once recal over any of its pure native ideas, before it borrowed any thing from the body; never any other ideas, but what derive their original from that union. Locke. To the churches, wherein they were ordained, they might of right be recalled as to their proper church, under pain of excommunication. Ayliffe. If princes, whose dominions lie contiguous, be forced to draw from those armies which act against France, we must hourly expect having those troops recalled which they now leave with us in the midst of a siege.

RECEIPT, OF RECEIT, in commerce, an acquittance or discharge, in writing, intimating that the party has received a certain sum of money, either in full for the whole debt, or in part, or on account. Receipts are subject to stamp duties. RECEIVER, receptor or receptator, in law, is commonly used in a bad sense for such as knowingly receive stolen goods from thieves, and conceal them. This crime is felony, and the punishment is transportation for fourteen years.

RECENSIO was an account taken by the censors, every lustrum, of all the Roman people. It was a general survey, at which the equites, as well as the rest of the people, were to appear.

Among all the great and worthy persons, whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent, there is not one that hath been transported to the mad degree of love. Bacon.

Fair Thames she haunts, and ev'ry neighb'ring RECHABITES, among the ancient Jews, a kind of religious order instituted by Jonadab the son of Rechab, comprehending only his own family and posterity. Their founder prescribed them three things: first, not to drink any wine; not to build any houses, but to dwell in tents; not to sow corn or plant vines. The Rechabites observed these rules with great strictness, as appears from Jer. xxxv. 6, &c. Whence St. Jerome, in his thirteenth epistle to Paulinus, calls them monachi, monks. Jonadab, their founder, lived under Jehoash, king of Judah, contemporary with Jehu king of Israel: his father Rechab, from whom his posterity were denominated, descended from Raguel or Jethro, father-in-law to Moses, who was a Kenite; whence Kenite and Rechabite are used as synonymous in Scripture. Serrurius distinguishes the ancient Rechabites descended from, and instituted by, Jethro, from the Rechabites of Jonadab. The injunction of Jonadab laid no obligation on the other Kenites, nor on the other descendants of Jethro. Benjamin de Tudela declares that he found this celelebrated family still existing in the neighbourhood of Mecca: and the recent publication of the Travels of Mr. Wolff in the East seems to confirm the fact of their present existence. The Rechabites were mentioned to him under the name of Hybarri both by the Jews and Mahometans of Yemen: and making enquiry respecting them of some Jews whom he found leading an Arab life in the desert, one of them exclaimed, 'See there is one of them,' and turning his eyes, as directed, he saw a man standing by his horse's head dressed like an Arab, but having a far more striking countenance than this race have generally. He accepted thankfully a bible in Arabic and Hebrew (reading both); but answered all questions in a voice of thunder.' When asked who he was, he read aloud the whole of the thirty-fifth chapter of Jeremiah, saying at the close I am a son of Rechab.' He invited the missionary to visit his tribe who live in three caves near Mecca, and amount to 60,000 in number, and requested him to bring more bibles with him. Like their fathers, they dwell in huts, and neither sow the fields nor plant vineyards. They are circumcised, and profess pure Judaism; having among them the books of the Pentateuch, Samuel, and Kings: as well as the greater and lesser prophets. They all speak Arabic and read Hebrew. They attacked, as they state, Mahomet, in the name of the law of Sinai, but were defeated; and have a tradition that he was poineighbourhood are persuaded that these Beni soned by a girl of their tribe. The Jews of the Rechab are intended for their powerful succor on their return to Judea. The Arabs spoke of them with great respect, and as admirable horsemen one of these always appearing suddenly before the Mahometan caravan on its arrival in the vicinity of Mecca, to receive an accustomed tribute, or its refusal. In either case he vanishes again like lightning; but in the latter as the certain omen of a storm of well appointed cavalry, which bursts with resistless force on the heads of the Moslems. RECHANGE', v. a. Fr. rechanger. Re and change. To change again. Those endued with foresight, work with facility; others are perpetually changing and rechanging their work. Dryden.

Hooker. They charge, recharge, and all along the sea They drive, and squander the huge Belgian fleet. Dryden. RECHEAT', n. s. Re and cheat. Among hunters, a lesson which the huntsman winds on the horn, when the hounds have lost their game, to call them back from pursuing a counterscent. That a woman conceived me, I thank her; but that I will have a recheat winded in my forehead, or hang my bugle in an invisible baldrick, all women shall pardon me. Shakspeare. of RECHERCHE ARCHIPELAGO, a cluster of islands, stretching about 126 miles in the south coast of New Holland, between 33° and 34° S. lat. They are almost all small, and many them naked rocks: from the banks and shoals interspersed, the access to this part of New Holland is dangerous. RECIDIVATION, n. s. Lat. recidivu".
