Of the Original of Languages and of Grammer COlledge Doctors as 't is said have for their Arms the Book with Seven Seals And why Because they are skilled in the Seven Liberal Arts or Sciences as though the Seven Liberal Arts acquired by Natural Search could open the Book with Seven Seals This is Absurd and Foolish if not Blasphemous John saw in the Right Hand of him that sate on the Throne a Book sealed with seven Seals and a strong Angel proclaimed Who is worthy to open the Book and to loose the Seals thereof No Man in Heaven nor in Earth neither under the Earth could do this all Mouths were shut no Critical Grammarian no Subtil Logician no Painted Rhetorician no Melodious Musician no Nimble Arithmetitian no Accurate Geometrition no Airy Astronomer durst appear or was found worthy Then one of the Elders said Weep not the Lion of the Tribe of Judah hath prevailed to open the Book and to loose the Seales thereof Rev. 5. So let Colledge Doctors say what they can 't is not Natural Arts nor Artists but the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah and he alone that can open the Seals thereof all others are excluded as Impotent and Unworthy Josephus in his Antiquities writes That the Children of Noah dwelt divers Years after the Flood upon Hills and Mountains as fearing a second Flood until such times as Shem Ham and Japhet adventur'd to make their Habitations in the lower Grounds New Nimrod upon Promise of Defence and Protection took upon him Rule and Dominion over others to be their Captain and Commander and to provide a Remedy for their Safety in case of another Flood he invented the building of a Tower so high as no Flood of Water might over-top it it contained in height 5164. Paces as Hidore saith so that it seemed rather a wonderful great Mountain than a Tower the passage to mount up was wide and went winding on th● out-side in which the Carriages were born and drawn up by Camels Dromedaries Horses Asses and Mules with Carts the Almighty beholding their Proud Attempt Propterea dedit ora sono difcordia et omnes Jamlinguis varios varias dispersit in oras Virg. Evangelis That is Bereaved them of their Natural Speech which till then as Josephus writes was but one to wit the Hebrew Tongue as most affirm and instead thereof gave them Seventy Two different Languages as Authors Report from this confused Chattering among them arose much Anger and Vexation because one could not understand another So these New-languaged Masons were forced to leave the Tower Unfinished they run up and down like Mad-Men labouring to find such as they could understand and this labour of seeking one another endured till such times as they were grown to so many Companies or Troops of Men as there were different Languages among them to wit Seventy Two and each Company or Troop that understood one another resolved to depart divers ways to seek themselves new and several Habitations Hence according to the distinct Tongues as many different and distinct Nations were begun Thus of one Language and one Nation through Nimrod's Arrogant and Ambitious Enterprise came Seventy Two Languages and Nations as divers affirm Verst and others This Tower was called Babel which signifies Confusion because there their Language was Confounded so from this when we hear a man speak confusedly we say he Babbles or we call him a Babbler Here is the Original of many Languages Proud Nimrod brought in Babel C●… many Languages Let Linguists glorying in their Languages 〈…〉 this Thus of one Nation 〈…〉 Language many Nations and Languages were brought 〈◊〉 who were as Barbarians one to another then to the end they might be capacitated for the management of Forreign Transactions Negotiation and Correspondance with other Nations a Concern entred Mens Minds for the learning of Forreign Languages and in order thereunto Grammer was invented defined to be an Art teaching to Write and Read rightly and one Epicurus a Heathen as Authors affirm was the first that taught Grammer Pol. Virg. lib 1. cap. 7. Alsted Vossius c. Suetoneus saith ' That Grammer and Rhetorick had almost the same Original for men observing what was fit and proper in Speech and what was unfit and improper what was to be imitated and what was to be rejected hereupon hammer'd out this Art ' Pol. Virg. lib. 1. cap. 7. The same Suetonius saith ' That Grammer formerly was neither used nor regarded at Rome and that at length one Crates Melotes brought the Study thereof to Rome being sent to the Senate by King Attalus between the first and third Carthaginian War about or a little before the Death of Eunius ' Pol. Virg. lib. 1. In the time of the Saxon Heptarchy Austin the Monk with others came from Rome into this Nation and brought the Faith and School Education of Papal Rome received from Ethnick Rome to among the Saxons so that many Prophane Obscene Lascivious Corrupting and Depraving Authors came into our Schools which are yet continued notwithstanding the Endeavours and Attempts of many to cradicate the same Seigebert King of the East-Angles of the Romish Faith having learned in France the manner of their Schools translated from Athens to Rome and from Rome to Paris by Charles the Great made Cambridge an University about the Year 630.
