They're not right together--here's the "gamblet" context:

<<1 iron ladle, 1 flesh fork, 2 chissels, 1 gamblet, 3 feather beds, bolsters
and fiurniture and 1 new bed and bolster, 1 suiting clothes and 1 pair of
boots,>>

the fact that it's followed by the beds and clothing items suggests it COULD
BE "camblet"--fabric. However, if fabric why 1 gamblet--1 roll or packet of
fabric?

Thanks for "stalliard"--I did try all my dictionaries before turning to the
list--these two I could not find!
