Webster's 1828 Dictionary

How the English word “agree” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

AGREE', verb transitive

To admit, or come to one mind concerning; as, to agree the fact. Also, to reconcile or make friends; to put an end to variance; but these senses are unusual and hardly legitimate. Let the parties agree the fact, is really elliptical; let them agree on the fact.
