Authours and c. 7. what Authours are most to be read and also some Elogies of the Latine Tongue by divers Learned men Pasquier Recherches de la France l. 9. c. 29. reckons up the Authours which excelled in the Latine Tongue The Latine Tongue grew to perfection by certain degrees and in Caesar and Cicero's times whereof the one for purity the other for copiousness were the best that ever writ it came to the highest flourish together with the Empire Among the Poets Plautus Naevius Accius Pacuvius Ennius and Virgill most refined it among the Orators and Historians M. Cato Sisenna Caesar and Cicero The Spanish Writer of the Book which is called the Triall of Wits ch 4. collects thence that there is a speciall agreement of the Latine Tongue with the reasonable soul because mad men which never learned Latine nevertheless sometime speak it of their own accord The Latine Tongue is usefull for all Arts and Nations Iulius Scaliger and Ioseph his sonne hold that the Originals of the Latine speech are many of them drawn from the Greek Crinesius de Confusione Linguarum cap. 10. proves by many instances that the Latine Tongue proceeded from the Hebrew It is very commendable to speak good Latine freely and to write in a pure and elegant style That is much which Fanchimus Fortius Ringelbergius in his truly golden Book De Ratione Studii reports of himself Of the Italian French and Spanish Languages One Bense hath written a Book entitled Analogo-Diaphora seu Concordia Discrepans Discrepantia Concordans trium Linguarum Gallicae Italicae Hispanicae The disagreeing concord and the agreeing discord of those three Languages French Italian and Spanish The Language of the Spaniards is said to be Manly the Italian Courtly and the French Amorous Brerewood conceives these tongues are more ancient and that they have not sprung from the corruption of the Latine Tongue by the inundation and mixture of barbarous people in these provinces but from the first unperfect impression and receiving of it in those forraign Countries One of the Councels cals the French Tongue Linguam Romanam rusticam whence Romances because they were written in that Tongue The genuine pronunciation and reading is the most difficult in the French Tongue for many letters which are written are not pronounced or otherwise pronounced Crinesius in his Discourse of the Confusion of Languages c. 10. gives seven generall rules of the French pronunciation and many speciall ones There are many severall Dialects of the French Tongue Nam in Gallia certè nostra tot ferè linguae sunt aut certè tot ejusdem linguae dialecti ac diversi pronuntiandi modi quot sunt Galliae non dicam provinciae sed urbes Casaub. Comment in l. 4. Strabonis The Spanish Tongue is near to the Italian and seems to come nearer to the Latine Tongue then the French but not so near as the Italian Brerewood in his 6 th Chapter of Enquiries touching the diversity of Languages saith he hath seen an Epistle written by a Spaniard whereof every word was both good Latine and good Spanish and an example of the like is to be seen in Merula Cosmog part 2. l. 2 ch 8. Scaliger Epist. Casaub. saith Quartapars Hispanicae linguae merè Arabica Scaliger commends the French for a most elegant and sweet Language and prefers it before the Spanish and Italian The people leave out many of their consonants in their pronunciation which makes it the sweeter In aulis omnium propemodum principum maximè occidentalium viget illa lingua floret Petrus Bense in Epistola Dedicatoria The people speak the best French in Blois or Orleance and the best Italian in Hetruria and the best Spanish in Castile Antoine Du Verdier in his excellent Preface to his Bibliotheque highly commends the French Language Quant à la phrase elegante maniere de parler pour exprimer belles conceptions ie ne sai si les Grecs mesmes se peuvent vanter d'estre pareils à nous De ma part ie croy que nostre langue ait estè composee de toutes les fleurs d'eslite qui sont esparses par la Grecque la Latine l' Italienne autres celebres renommees tant antiques que modernes CHAP.

Zanchius reckons up four most weighty causes of publick Divinity Schools 1. That the Propheticall and Apostolicall Writings might be preserved in them from corruption or destruction which is the cause why Libraries were alwaies wont to be added to these Schools in which other Books being written out faithfully in Hebrew Greek and Latine were kept 2. That there might be perpetuall witnesses in Schools which might testifie by a continuall succession what Books were truly Canonicall and what Apocryphall 3.
