By And By

In the sense of "immediately" is the King James Version translation of exautes, ofMr 6:25(the American Standard Revised Version "forthwith"); of euthus,Mt 13:21(the American Standard Revised Version "straightway"); of eutheos,Lu 17:7(the American Standard Revised Version "straightway");Lu 21:9(the American Standard Revised Version "immediately"). In English literally this meaning is obsolete (compare: "After you have dyned and supte, laboure not by and by after, but make a pause--the space of an howre or more with some pastyme") (Babees Book, EETS, 247).
