have_v many_o weighty_a reason_n on_o our_o side_n to_o incline_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o primitive_a language_n be_v no_o more_o relate_v to_o the_o hebrew_n than_o it_o be_v either_o to_o the_o chaldee_n or_o arabic_a but_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v better_o comprehend_v our_o mean_v we_o own_o that_o opinion_n seem_v to_o be_v most_o probable_a to_o we_o which_o maintain_v that_o neither_o hebrew_n chaldee_n nor_o arabic_a nor_o indeed_o any_o other_o oriental_a language_n be_v that_o which_o adam_n speak_v because_o in_o process_n of_o time_n and_o by_o the_o dispersion_n

borrow_a from_o the_o etymology_n of_o name_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o proper_a name_n give_v to_o the_o child_n at_o their_o birth_n as_o cognomina_fw-la or_o surname_n by_o which_o they_o be_v know_v to_o posterity_n and_o so_o in_o process_n of_o time_n pass_v for_o proper_a name_n for_o which_o reason_n they_o may_v sometime_o be_v change_v and_o yet_o the_o paronomasia_n of_o the_o primitive_a language_n be_v happy_o preserve_v at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o will_v evident_o appear_v by_o the_o follow_a

we_o still_o preserve_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o history_n as_o it_o be_v explain_v in_o the_o five_o opinion_n but_o so_o as_o not_o to_o condemn_v those_o that_o differ_v from_o our_o

serpent_n be_v the_o most_o subtle_a of_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n now_o some_o be_v apt_a to_o believe_v that_o moses_n in_o this_o passage_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o craft_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o either_o appear_v himself_o or_o actual_o enter_v into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o serpent_n but_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o that_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v more_o cunning_a than_o a_o beast_n and_o second_o how_o come_v he_o to_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n therefore_o other_o conjecture_n that_o the_o craftiness_n of_o serpent_n proper_o so_o call_v be_v here_o mean_v and_o to_o this_o purpose_n observe_v that_o as_o they_o lie_v hide_v in_o the_o dust_n or_o under_o the_o herb_n they_o use_v to_o bite_v the_o heel_n of_o the_o animal_n that_o

he_o in_o the_o beginning_n as_o the_o most_o cunning_a of_o beast_n or_o else_o give_v some_o by-hint_n of_o his_o subtlety_n thus_o we_o find_v in_o phaedrus_n that_o dolosa_fw-la vulpes_fw-la
