this_o first_o because_o they_o be_v less_o polish_a more_o crooked_a unproportionable_a uneven_a and_o ill-favoured_a than_o the_o common_a hebrew_n now_o in_o use_n for_o as_o the_o jew_n before_o the_o captivity_n be_v less_o civilise_a more_o proud_a stifnecked_a rebellious_a untractable_a and_o hard-hearted_a not_o only_o to_o stranger_n but_o to_o themselves_o also_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o general_a complaint_n of_o the_o prophet_n so_o after_o that_o affliction_n of_o 70_o year_n captivity_n they_o become_v more_o meek_a humble_a patient_a and_o tractable_a and_o in_o that_o time_n find_v that_o the_o chaldaean_n have_v the_o same_o language_n in_o essence_n with_o they_o and_o that_o their_o writing_n be_v more_o neat_a and_o comely_a than_o their_o own_o by_o how_o much_o those_o be_v a_o better_o govern_v and_o policy_v people_n than_o they_o they_o begin_v not_o only_o to_o learn_v but_o affect_v and_o that_o so_o well_o that_o they_o leave_v their_o own_o crooked_a and_o ill-favoured_a character_n unto_o those_o samaritan_n which_o they_o call_v cuttim_n because_o descend_v from_o cuthaya_n or_o scythia_n out_o of_o a_o hatred_n of_o their_o worship_n and_o religion_n and_o love_n of_o their_o own_o religion_n and_o new_a learned_a character_n which_o they_o find_v to_o be_v more_o easy_a and_o neat_a than_o their_o old_a second_o because_o it_o be_v the_o common_a course_n of_o all_o nation_n to_o mend_v the_o fashion_n of_o their_o writing_n as_o the_o german_n lowduch_a polonions_n and_o english_a themselves_o have_v do_v and_o do_v yet_o daily_o the_o syrian_a character_n be_v the_o same_o former_o use_v in_o syria_n cnaan_n flistea_n or_o palestina_n by_o the_o heathen_n or_o christian_n not_o the_o jew_n and_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o call_v and_o syriac_n be_v only_o in_o the_o character_n the_o tongue_n be_v the_o same_o call_v call_v when_o the_o jew_n speak_v it_o and_o syriac_n when_o the_o christian_n now_o we_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o religion_n do_v not_o change_v the_o tongue_n as_o when_o popery_n be_v cast_v out_o of_o england_n the_o tongue_n do_v remain_v the_o

so_o write_v the_o body_n of_o the_o letter_n all_o along_o upon_o it_o which_o full_o do_v they_o turn_v again_o upward_o nor_o do_v they_o use_v many_o different_a fashion_n of_o their_o writing_n

the_o other_o and_o this_o i_o have_v observe_v myself_o by_o many_o that_o have_v resolve_v i_o that_o question_n the_o other_o syriac_a estrangelo_n letter_n be_v also_o the_o same_o but_o only_o
