Possible Meaning of "goodly" in 1 Nephi 1:1

The idea that goodly parents in 1 Nephi 1:1 might also mean wealthyparents has been expressed by others (including Hugh Nibley – see An Approach to the Book of Mormon, The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley: Volume 6, 3rd ed., Deseret/FARMS, Salt Lake City & Provo, 1988, P. 47). However, the work of Royal Skousen and his assertion that Middle English vocabulary is found in the Book of Mormon, places this idea in a new light (see The Archaic Vocabulary of the Book of Mormon, Royal Skousen, Provo, Utah, Maxwell Institute, 2005).

In the OED, the second listed meaning of goodly is “notable or considerable in respect of size, quantity, or number.” The OED cited references for this meaning place its usage in the Middle English time period (e.g. Chaucer, 1374) and thus this may be one more example of Archaic English in the Book of Mormon.
