And abundance more of such like Expressions might be gathered out of this Play-book which is counted in the Schools a pure Latine stile and by some times Oxfords Orator called Elegancies and by Rich. Bernard pithy pleasant and profitable But the sober-minded and who fears God have cause to avoid such words and such books both and not to account them Elegancies nor to make such Expressions their own but to Judge such and to esteem them unpleasant and unprofitable not fit to be mentioned amongst Christians A few Examples taken out of a Book Printed in the Year 1655 called a Treatise of English Particles by W. W. Master of the Free Grammar School of King Edward the sixth in Louth in Lincoln-shire which as he sayes his chief Design is to prevent and cure gross ridiculous Barbarisms committed daily by young Learners we have spoken something of him already in the former Book about the Singular and Plural Language his putting you which is the Plural wordr in English to tu which is the Singular word in Latine Now we have drawen out some of his Phrases which to the sober will appear rather to be Barbarismes then Elegancies IN pag. 13. Chap. 13. Absque juramento tibi non credidissem But for your Oath I would not have believed you Mark this Phrase shews forth a tolleration of an Oath which is Barbarous and not a Saints practice nor Christs Doctrine which saith Swear not at all Matth. 5.
