speech_n they_o will_v be_v all_o of_o a_o double_a language_n for_o if_o the_o language_n that_o a_o man_n have_v first_o learn_v do_v not_o prohibit_v but_o that_o he_o nevertheless_o may_v

hebrew_n shall_v be_v the_o innate_a speech_n of_o man_n a_o persuasion_n only_o nourish_v by_o those_o who_o be_v ignorant_a in_o philosophy_n since_o we_o see_v many_o man_n more_o handsome_a and_o

so_o that_o speech_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v compact_v or_o perform_v by_o nature_n but_o by_o use_n and_o custom_n otherwise_o as_o all_o nation_n be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n they_o will_v have_v the_o same_o speech_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v manifold_a as_o custom_n have_v make_v it_o currant_n natural_a indeed_o it_o be_v to_o man_n to_o speak_v because_o nature_n as_o we_o know_v by_o the_o very_a formation_n of_o the_o mouth_n the_o tongue_n and_o other_o instrument_n have_v ordain_v they_o to_o this_o use_n but_o to_o use_v this_o or_o that_o speech_n fall_v out_o by_o study_n and_o learning_n and_o even_o the_o very_a idiom_n proceed_v from_o use_n and_o a_o tacit_n consent_n of_o man_n beside_o those_o 70_o

but_o god_n make_v choice_n of_o those_o that_o please_v he_o therefore_o since_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o profitable_a nor_o pleasant_a to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n then_o reciprocal_o to_o communicate_v their_o cogitation_n one_o unto_o another_o neither_o any_o thing_n more_o natural_a than_o the_o desire_n of_o knowledge_n and_o science_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o teach_v and_o
