but very much augmented the number of Old Words For though Mr. Blount as he saies expressly shunn'd them because they grew obsolete yet doubtless their use is very great not only for the unfolding those Authors that did use them but also for giving a great deal of light to other words that are still in use Those that I call Old Words are generally such as occurr in Chaucer Gower Pierce Ploughman and Julian Barns And whosoever has a mind instead of them or other vulgar terms to use expressions that are more polite he sees what words are markt for Latin Greek or French and may himself make such Collections as will be far more advantageous than if they had been gathered to his hand Finally that I might be the more comprehensive for here is very much in very little room I have signified the derivation of the words from their several Originals and the Names of the Counties in which they are used by one or two of their initial letters the meaning of which is exprest in the following Table A Table explaining the Abbreviations made use of in this Book A.
