become_v true_a hero_n patriot_n of_o their_o country_n and_o possess_v eminent_a rank_n of_o authority_n and_o dignity_n i_o take_v it_o needless_a refer_v you_o to_o belove_a history_n either_o in_o

let_v we_o see_v more_o of_o the_o town_n fault_n and_o a_o great_a one_o rise_v next_o and_o that_o be_v a_o language_n divers_a from_o the_o time_n of_o our_o ancestor_n be_v in_o london_n use_v

one_o but_o i_o be_o tell_v otherwise_o now_o this_o age_n this_o nation_n be_v corrupt_a in_o its_o language_n a_o bold_a charge_n be_v it_o on_o the_o wise_a age_n and_o wise_a nation_n and_o where_o be_v the_o fault_n in_o use_v french_a word_n vile_a french_a even_o vile_a french_a word_n unworthy_a of_o the_o manly_a language_n of_o english_a to_o use_v french_a word_n sure_o this_o

eat_v fricacie_n or_o ragoo_n but_o a_o serious_a word_n sir_n our_o language_n of_o england_n be_v that_o of_o those_o german_n call_v saxon_n who_o possess_v themselves_o thereof_o next_o precede_v the_o norman_n and_o that_o language_n be_v most_o monosyllable_n of_o which_o radixes_fw-la have_v since_o be_v make_v compound_n and_o though_o it_o have_v be_v think_v that_o from_o such_o

will_v express_v few_o thing_n and_o so_o no_o need_n be_v there_o of_o enlarge_a the_o lingua_n or_o opportunity_n for_o
it_o historian_n tell_v we_o that_o when_o the_o norman_n expulse_v the_o english_a among_o the_o clerk_n in_o holy_a order_n if_o one_o have_v learn_v the_o grammar_n every_o one_o wonder_v at_o he_o as_o a_o mighty_a scholar_n after_o that_o time_n learning_n begin_v to_o increase_v and_o by_o the_o norman_n come_v the_o french_a tongue_n hither_o and_o though_o they_o can_v not_o introduce_v their_o law_n yet_o their_o language_n they_o do_v and_o put_v our_o law_n into_o it_o by_o read_v of_o which_o and_o converse_v with_o they_o grow_v a_o mixture_n of_o tongue_n with_o the_o french_a which_o have_v be_v improve_v by_o a_o commerce_n more_o familiar_a with_o that_o nation_n than_o with_o any_o other_o and_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o this_o last_o age_n wherein_o our_o nation_n have_v out_o do_v all_o other_o in_o the_o superstructure_n of_o true_a science_n several_a term_n of_o art_n have_v mix_v with_o our_o ordinary_a discourse_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o easiness_n to_o intelligence_n can_v hardly_o be_v avoid_v and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o what_o word_n soever_o our_o nation_n have_v adopt_v they_o be_v most_o significant_a of_o the_o thing_n they_o express_v and_o so_o occasion_v a_o succinct_a and_o comprehensive_a stile_n in_o our_o conversation_n and_o write_v and_o as_o for_o the_o old_a dotage_n of_o keep_v to_o our_o first_o

how_o they_o differ_v from_o it_o and_o among_o themselves_o and_o he_o shall_v soon_o find_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o do_v differ_v from_o the_o serious_a manly_a language_n of_o our_o common_a ancestor_n as_o they_o be_v several_o situate_v in_o the_o several_a part_n of_o their_o respective_a nation_n so_o do_v we_o in_o england_n a_o instance_n whereof_o you_o may_v have_v in_o verstegan_n who_o thereby_o answer_v himself_o in_o the_o whimsy_n your_o adviser_n borrow_v from_o he_o as_o one_o will_v say_v at_o london_n i_o will_v eat_v more_o cheese_n

you_o judge_v now_o sir_n who_o speak_v best_a english_a london_n or_o country_n and_o i_o challenge_v all_o his_o country_n hero_n be_v who_o be_v never_o educate_v in_o london_n to_o caress_n you_o

and_o all_o do_v ample_o turn_v upon_o himself_o and_o silence_v the_o impertinent_a complaint_n and_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v be_v deliver_v concern_v the_o old_a serious_a manly_a english_a language_n only_o i_o must_v not_o forget_v that_o after_o his_o invective_n against_o french_a he_o kind_o say_v that_o language_n be_v high_o necessary_a to_o all_o that_o frequent_a

concern_v in_o important_a affair_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o you_o who_o he_o design_v and_o advise_v to_o be_v a_o hero_n it_o make_v i_o recollect_v myself_o and_o consider_v what_o a_o hero_n be_v i_o find_v the_o word_n be_v not_o teutonick_n no_o more_o than_o idaea_n chimaera_n conduct_v regiment_n with_o many_o other_o which_o be_v for_o this_o time_n deign_v worthy_a to_o be_v the_o
