2. 6. set up his rest] A metaphor from primero, a game at cards; as I understand it, the stake was a smaller sum, the rest a larger sum, which, if a player were confident (or desperate) might all be set, or set up, that is, be wagered. In the game of primero played in dialogue, in the Dialogues (p. 26) appended to Minsheu's Spanish Dict., "two shillings form the stake, eight shillings the rest." Florio explains the Italian restare, "to set up one's rest, to make a rest, or play upon one's rest at primero." Cotgrave has under Renvier: "Il y renvioit de sa reste, He set his whole rest, he adventured all his estate upon it."

The phrase occurs in several passages of Shakespeare, e.g. Merchant of Venice, II. ii. 110.
