will_v avoid_v this_o folly_n and_o acquaint_v themselves_o with_o the_o plain_a and_o best_a kind_n of_o speech_n must_v seek_v from_o time_n to_o time_n such_o word_n as_o be_v common_o receive_v &_o such_o as_o proper_o may_v express_v in_o plain_a manner_n the_o whole_a conceit_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o look_v what_o word_n we_o best_o understand_v and_o know_v what_o they_o mean_v the_o

of_o word_n first_o that_o such_o word_n as_o we_o use_v shall_v be_v proper_a unto_o the_o tongue_n wherein_o we_o speak_v again_o that_o they_o be_v plain_a for_o all_o man_n to_o perceive_v three_o that_o they_o be_v apt_a and_o meet_a most_o proper_o to_o set_v out_o the_o matter_n fourthlie_o that_o word_n translate_v from_o one_o signification_n to_o another_o call_v of_o the_o grecian_n

that_o thing_n which_o they_o signify_v and_o plain_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o same_o therefore_o they_o that_o have_v regard_n of_o their_o estimation_n and_o credit_n do_v wary_o speak_v &_o with_o choice_n utter_a word_n most_o apt_a for_o their_o purpose_n in_o weighty_a cause_n grave_a word_n be_v think_v most_o needful_a that_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o matter_n may_v the_o rather_o appear_v in_o the_o vehemency_n of_o their_o talk_n so_o likewise_o of_o other_o like_a order_n must_v be_v take_v albeit_o some_o not_o only_o do_v not_o observe_v this_o kind_n of_o
