that_o all_o thing_n shall_v in_o this_o translation_n run_v so_o smooth_o as_o in_o another_o kind_n of_o translation_n happy_o they_o may_v but_o herein_o i_o must_v confess_v my_o fear_n be_v for_o antoninus_n more_o than_o for_o myself_o for_o first_o whereas_o he_o be_v i_o think_v as_o well_o acquaint_v with_o ancient_a writer_n and_o philosopher_n as_o ever_o any_o be_v do_v every_o where_o very_o strict_o and_o careful_o observe_v their_o proper_a choice_n word_n and_o term_n which_o both_o make_v the_o sense_n itself_o more_o current_a and_o please_a and_o for_o a_o scholar_n to_o know_v they_o and_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o they_o be_v in_o many_o respect_n very_o useful_a this_o in_o the_o translation_n must_v needs_o be_v lose_v and_o by_o consequent_a so_o much_o lose_v to_o antoninus_n of_o his_o due_a praise_n and_o commendation_n and_o second_o whereas_o in_o all_o these_o his_o xii_o book_n there_o be_v not_o many_o line_n if_o any_o which_o if_o well_o consider_v will_v not_o be_v find_v either_o to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o some_o ancient_a author_n or_o at_o least_o by_o way_n either_o of_o exception_n confirmation_n illustration_n and_o the_o

dry_a and_o impertinent_a in_o these_o two_o respect_n i_o can_v deny_v but_o i_o have_v do_v antoninus_n some_o wrong_n to_o make_v he_o so_o vulgar_a as_o i_o have_v do_v and_o yet_o because_o i_o
