london_n print_v for_o richard_n lambert_n bookseller_n in_o york_n and_o be_v to_o sold_n by_o the_o bookseller_n of_o london_n 1685._o to_o the_o practitioner_n of_o the_o common_a law_n of_o

many_o time_n bad_a occasion_n to_o mention_v in_o my_o declaration_n and_o action_n of_o trespass_n trover_n special_a action_n of_o the_o case_n rationabile_fw-la parte-bonorum_a etc._n etc._n and_o after_o the_o expense_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n in_o search_v into_o dictionary_n and_o vocabulary_n be_v many_o time_n frustrate_v in_o my_o expectation_n and_o find_v no_o latin_a word_n at_o all_o for_o the_o thing_n i_o seek_v for_o i_o have_v be_v then_o necessitate_v to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o law_n prerogative_n and_o to_o frame_v a_o latin_a word_n with_o the_o addition_n of_o a_o anglix_a so_o after_o some_o serious_a debate_n with_o myself_o in_o my_o own_o thought_n i_o conceive_v that_o a_o little_a compendious_a collection_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o little_a vocabulary_a may_v not_o only_o be_v necessary_a but_o very_o advantageous_a and_o useful_a for_o young_a clark_n and_o new-beginner_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o common_a law_n therefore_o at_o my_o best_a leisure_n have_v collect_v a_o great_a mass_n of_o english_a word_n together_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o i_o think_v do_v often_o admit_v of_o dispute_n in_o the_o law_n i_o then_o digest_v they_o into_o several_a section_n under_o proper_a head_n the_o title_n of_o which_o be_v set_v down_o after_o this_o epistle_n this_o be_v do_v i_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o search_v most_o of_o the_o dictionary_n and_o vocabulary_n that_o be_v extant_a in_o print_n to_o find_v out_o the_o latin_a of_o such_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v make_v a_o collection_n of_o and_o for_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o in_o my_o search_n i_o find_v out_o fit_a latin_a word_n i_o have_v here_o insert_v they_o and_o set_v they_o down_o as_o i_o find_v they_o and_o for_o such_o and_o for_o so_o many_o as_o no_o latin_a can_v be_v find_v i_o have_v take_v the_o boldness_n upon_o i_o to_o frame_v and_o set_v down_o such_o latin_a word_n as_o in_o my_o weak_a opinion_n seem_v to_o be_v most_o congruous_a and_o significant_a to_o describe_v the_o thing_n they_o be_v set_v down_o for_o and_o indeed_o here_o be_v some_o hundred_o of_o word_n latinize_v which_o you_o can_v find_v any_o latin_a for_o either_o in_o thomas_n thomasius_n cowper_n rider_n holioak_n etc._n etc._n or_o any_o other_o dictionary_n or_o vocabulary_a and_o the_o reason_n i_o suppose_v be_v because_o that_o since_o those_o man_n write_v we_o have_v now_o here_o in_o england_n thousand_o of_o invention_n and_o name_n of_o new_a thing_n which_o be_v not_o know_v to_o they_o nor_o hear_v of_o in_o their_o time_n and_o they_o can_v not_o render_v thing_n into_o latin_a which_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o nay_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o word_n and_o thing_n insert_v here_o which_o dr._n littleton_n in_o his_o new_a dictionary_n afford_v you_o no_o latin_a for_n i_o know_v some_o will_v deride_v my_o confidence_n and_o other_o will_v slight_a and_o scorn_v my_o endeavour_n which_o hard_a fate_n many_o great_a learned_a man_n labour_n have_v not_o escape_v and_o if_o the_o fore-thought_n of_o this_o shall_v have_v discourage_v such_o man_n from_o write_v than_o the_o world_n will_v have_v be_v deprive_v of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o learning_n with_o which_o it_o now_o abound_v i_o be_o not_o ignotant_n but_o this_o undertake_n will_v have_v receive_v a_o more_o candid_a acceptance_n from_o a_o more_o learned_a pen_n and_o person_n of_o a_o better_a genius_n than_o myself_o yet_o i_o hope_v i_o be_o in_o some_o measure_n pardonable_a consider_v that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v of_o old_a est_fw-la voluisse_fw-la satis_fw-la and_o i_o have_v cast_v this_o my_o poor_a mite_n of_o barren_a invention_n into_o the_o treasury_n of_o learning_n i_o hope_v the_o better_a nature_a sort_n of_o reader_n will_v accept_v my_o pain_n and_o in_o such_o thing_n wherein_o i_o have_v not_o answer_v their_o expectation_n they_o will_v rather_o pity_v my_o ignorance_n and_o defect_n of_o learning_n than_o condemn_v my_o weak_a and_o willing_a endeavour_n it_o be_v never_o my_o intention_n that_o this_o impolite_a vocabulary_a shall_v appear_v upon_o the_o stage_n of_o the_o world_n as_o any_o advantage_n to_o the_o ingenious_a but_o only_o as_o a_o help_n to_o such_o who_o stand_v upon_o the_o same_o level_n of_o infecundity_n of_o fancy_n with_o my_o self_n and_o for_o such_o person_n till_o they_o can_v provide_v themselves_o with_o better_a and_o fit_a help_n they_o may_v make_v use_n if_o they_o please_v of_o my_o poor_a labour_n in_o this_o nomenclature_n now_o reader_n although_o this_o small_a collection_n be_v principal_o intend_v for_o the_o help_n and_o ease_n of_o young_a clerk_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v insert_v at_o the_o late_a end_n thereof_o several_a precedent_n of_o warrant_n and_o other_o necessary_a thing_n not_o elsewhere_o to_o be_v find_v in_o print_n which_o be_v proper_a for_o they_o only_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o may_v be_v partly_o

this_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v more_o common_a and_o better_o know_v in_o our_o law_n proceed_n than_o the_o more_o polite_a and_o genuine_a latin_a word_n and_o for_o such_o word_n as_o be_v
