Reader In this Book are contained most of the unsavoury Expressions which I have already mentioned and therefore I forbear so much as I can to rehearse the same Phrases over again for if I should mention them and all other Expressions contained in this Book that are not worth the reading but to be Iudged I might leave out little and so I give a touch of some unchristian-like Phrases taken out of the same Book PAge 1.

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. And besides in this Phrase is two lyes for here is your and you mentioned in the English Phrase and no such word in the Latine for the Latine is tibi which is thee and not vobis which is you and your In page 36. Chap. 15. Stultus es qui huic credas Ton are a Fool for believing him What W. W. is this a fit Phrase to teach in a Christian School to say Fool is not Boyes too apt to use such words without teaching And besides thy false Translation you Fool for the Latine which thou puts for you are is es which is thou art and estis is you or ye are but such Mis-translation is in a manner generally throughout thy Book and this is a lye and Barbarismes to put the Plural word you in English to the Singular tu and tibi in Latine In page 55.

Dux Grammaticus he also proceeds after the same manner as in putting thee and thou out of their proper place and in their stead places the word you which is contrary to all Grammaticall order and in so doing he brings himself under the whip as for Example in page 163. for Quid est quod to angat animi mi Petre in page 218. he Englishes it thus Friend Peter what 's that troubles your minde putting your for thy So also in page 173. for Vbi locorum cede versatus es hoc omne triennium in page 231. he Englishes thus Where i th world I pray have you been these whole three years putting the word in the plural when it should be in the singular you for thou and after the same manner he translates in several other places in the same Book so unfit to translate In the Book called Ianua Linguarum The portall to the gate of Tongues The same irregular way is used putting you for thou and thee as in examples it may be manifested as in chap. 3. for Scis numerare utique it is Englished thus Know you how to number very well Now t is scis knowest thou not scitis know you in the plural But this Non-sencical way is commonly used by all our National Priests and Teachers so also in the same Book Si tibi placet If it hath listed you There also putting the word you for thee So again for Si rogas quid est erditum esse it is Englished thus If you demand what it is to be a Schollar c. there also putting you for thou So contrary to the Grammar and Bible Iohn Clarke in his Book called Phraseologia Fuerilis page 340. for Sed vis tibi verum fatear he Englishes Shall I tell you truly Here he puts you for tibi which is thee and for Rem tenes he puts You hit the nail on the head putting you for thou And for Quanam Iturus es he translates Which way walk you When Quanam Ituri estis is Which way walk you and Quanam iturus es is Which way walkest thou So here he puts you for thou J.

S. have whipt you if you should have said so in his Grammar tu te and tibi for you and doth he not deserve to be whipped that puts tu te and tibi for vobis and vos I.

Epistle You cannot do me a greater favour when Ciceroes words are Hoc mihi gratius facere nihil potes Here Boyes you may see again that he gives you for thou for you know in possum potestis ● You can and Potes is Thou canst and thus he translates to us and gives us you instead of thou And in the same Epistle thou sayes Especially to you when Ciceros words are Praesertim ad te Here is not vos but te not you but thee and thus he Englishes and puts you instead of thee like a mad-man And thou sayes I expect with desire your Letters when Tully sayes Literas tuas vehementer expecto Tuas literas is Thy letters and Vestras litteras is Your letters Cicero to Decimus Brutus Imperator Book II. Epistle 15. C. S.

Christians indeed but fitter to be burnt as the true Christians of old burnt their Books which was at a great value And now we will try what these Christians in England and elsewhere will do with their Books which they teach their Children in their Schools and have been taught in England for many years past we have drawn out some few Examples forth of some of the School-Books to shew to the Reader what words they use in their Schools in their Books and whether such words and such Books be fit to be used and taught yea or nay Or the words of Scripture for them to be taught in Schools to Children According to what already in this forementioned Book is charged upon People from the Lord not to teach these Heathenish Books but let them be burnt as useless and if any will learn other Languages to their Children that they may learn them the Scriptures of Truth and other found and wholsome words and savoury and not such unsavoury words as is and have been practised in their Schools for many years let not the earth be stained and corrupted with such silthiness For evil words corrupts the good manners And first we have taken forth some few words out of that Book which is commonly taught Children when they first enter into Latine which is called Pueriles Confabulatiunculae that is Childrens Talkes IN the 9th page of that Book Col. 3.

A fixen a limbe of the Devil She can do no more evil than a She-Ape And many such like frothy light unfavoury expressions are in the said Authours Book which writes himself Batchelour of Divinity but let the sober and honest Reader Judge whether such Expressions be Divine the words of the Saints wholsom words or the words of Heathens from whom he hath gathered most of them as thou may understand by the Authours names set at the end of some of the Sentences I could gather many more out of that Book which are not fit to be mentioned among any that fears God or knows what Divine is for if the Authour had been Divine he would not have sent a Book abroad into the world stuft with prophane and old Wives Fables which the man of God was to refuse 1 Tim. 4.

Inquè meo nullum carmine crimen erit And there shall be no fault in this my Verse p. 2. in the English And now we will try whether he speaks true or not when he sayes there shall be no fault in his Verse In page 397.
