well_o as_o i_o can_v into_o these_o table_n all_o simple_a thing_n and_o notion_n by_o a_o consideration_n of_o they_o a_o priori_fw-la i_o then_o judge_v it_o necessary_a to_o attempt_v the_o reduction_n of_o a●l_a other_o word_n in_o the_o dictionary_n to_o these_o table_n either_o as_o they_o be_v synonymous_n to_o they_o or_o to_o be_v define_v by_o they_o which_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o try_v the_o fullness_n of_o these_o table_n and_o consequent_o to_o supply_v their_o defect_n and_o beside_o a_o great_a help_n to_o learner_n who_o without_o such_o a_o direction_n may_v not_o perhaps_o at_o first_o be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a place_n and_o notion_n of_o many_o word_n for_o the_o far_o complete_n of_o this_o work_n i_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o take_v into_o consideration_n the_o frame_n of_o such_o a_o natural_a grammar_n as_o may_v be_v suit_v to_o the_o philosophy_n of_o speech_n abstract_v from_o those_o many_o unnecessary_a rule_n belong_v to_o institute_v language_n which_o prove_v a_o matter_n of_o no_o small_a difficulty_n consider_v the_o little_a help_n to_o be_v have_v for_o it_o from_o those_o few_o author_n who_o have_v before_o undertake_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o kind_n in_o the_o do_n of_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v not_o neglect_v any_o help_n that_o i_o can_v procure_v from_o other_o and_o must_v acknowledge_v myself_o much_o engage_v to_o sundry_a learned_a man_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n for_o their_o direction_n and_o furtherance_n in_o such_o matter_n as_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o their_o several_a study_n and_o profession_n among_o the_o rest_n i_o must_v not_o forget_v to_o make_v particular_a mention_n of_o the_o special_a assistance_n i_o have_v receive_v in_o draw_v up_o the_o table_n of_o animal_n from_o that_o most_o learned_a and_o inquisitive_a gentleman_n a_o worthy_a member_n of_o the_o royal_a society_n mr._n francis_n willoughby_n who_o have_v make_v it_o his_o particular_a business_n in_o his_o late_a travail_n through_o the_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o europe_n to_o inquire_v after_o and_o understand_v the_o several_a species_n of_o animal_n and_o by_o his_o own_o observation_n be_v able_a to_o advance_v that_o part_n of_o learning_n and_o to_o add_v many_o thing_n to_o what_o have_v be_v former_o do_v by_o the_o most_o learned_a author_n in_o this_o kind_n and_o as_o for_o those_o most_o difficult_a table_n of_o plant_n i_o have_v receive_v the_o like_a assistance_n from_o one_o of_o his_o companion_n in_o travail_n mr._n john_n wray_n late_a fellow_n of_o trinity_n college_n in_o cambridge_n who_o beside_o his_o other_o general_a knowledge_n have_v with_o great_a success_n apply_v himself_o to_o the_o cultivate_a of_o that_o part_n of_o learning_n and_o as_o for_o the_o principal_a difficulty_n which_o i_o meet_v with_o in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o this_o work_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v myself_o oblige_v to_o the_o continual_a assistance_n i_o have_v have_v from_o my_o most_o learned_a and_o worthy_a friend_n dr._n william_n lloyd_n than_o who_o so_o far_o as_o i_o be_o able_a to_o judge_v this_o nation_n can_v not_o have_v

particular_o i_o must_v whole_o ascribe_v to_o he_o that_o tedious_a and_o difficult_a task_n of_o suit_v the_o table_n to_o the_o dictionary_n and_o the_o draw_v up_o of_o the_o dictionary_n itself_o

give_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v several_a word_n mention_v in_o the_o dictionary_n and_o frequent_o use_v among_o some_o author_n which_o be_v yet_o very_o questionable_a as_o to_o their_o
