By and by (ἐξαυτῆς)
Obsolete in the old sense of immediately. The A. V. translates αὐθὺς, straightway, in Mat 13:21, by and by: εὐθέως, Mar 4:17, immediately: and the same word in Luk 21:9, by and by. Ἐξαυτῆς is rendered immediately, Act 10:33; Act 11:11 : straightway, Act 23:30 : presently, Phi 2:23. Rev., forthwith. The expression by and by in older English was sometimes used of place. Thus Chaucer.
"Right in the same chamber by and by" (close by).
and
"Two young knights lying by and by" (near together).
Edward IV. is reported to have said on his death-bed: "I wote (know) not whether any preacher's words ought more to move you than I that is going by and by to the place that they all preach of."
