OED only has Scots stuff. I also found this. This, that and the other (talk) 09:52, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

I suspect that's a scan error for marchant (merchant), which appears several times in the same poem. Compare this version, which reads In graue, the marchant men. —Soap— 12:08, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

I found some Scots uses like this one [[1]], and one in the Towneley Plays (Jacob) [[2]], but I don't know if Sequitur Jacob was written in ME or EME (?). Maybe this entry should just be converted to a Scots entry. The MED shows late ME uses for English, and the verb wark survives into EME and modern English, but not with the participial ending -and.
