translation_n of_o prose_n in_o general_a as_o for_o translation_n of_o verse_n nothing_o can_v be_v add_v to_o that_o incomparable_a essay_n of_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o roscommon_n the_o near_a the_o idiom_n or_o turn_v of_o the_o phrase_n of_o two_o language_n agree_v it_o be_v the_o easy_a to_o translate_v one_o into_o the_o other_o the_o italian_a spanish_a and_o french_a be_v all_o three_o at_o best_a corruption_n of_o the_o latin_a with_o the_o mixture_n of_o gothick_n arabic_a and_o gaulish_a word_n the_o italian_a as_o it_o be_v near_a the_o latin_a be_v also_o near_a the_o english_a for_o its_o mixture_n be_v compose_v of_o latin_a and_o the_o language_n of_o the_o goth_n vandal_n and_o other_o northern_a nation_n who_o overran_a the_o roman_a empire_n and_o conquer_v its_o language_n with_o its_o province_n most_o of_o these_o northern_a nation_n speak_v the_o teutonick_n or_o dialect_v of_o it_o of_o which_o the_o english_a be_v one_o also_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o english_a and_o italian_a learn_v the_o language_n of_o one_o another_o soon_o than_o any_o other_o because_o not_o only_o the_o phrase_n but_o the_o accent_n of_o both_o do_v very_o much_o agree_v the_o spanish_a be_v next_o of_o kin_n to_o the_o english_a for_o almost_o the_o same_o reason_n because_o the_o goth_n and_o vandal_n have_v overrun_v africa_n and_o keep_v possession_n of_o it_o for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n where_o mix_v with_o the_o moor_n no_o doubt_n give_v they_o a_o great_a tincture_n of_o their_o tongue_n these_o moor_n afterward_o invade_v and_o conquer_v spain_n beside_o spain_n be_v before_o that_o also_o invade_v and_o conquer_v by_o the_o goth_n who_o possess_v it_o long_o after_o the_o time_n of_o the_o two_o son_n of_o theodosius_n the_o great_a arcadus_fw-la and_o honorius_n the_o french_a as_o it_o be_v most_o remote_a from_o the_o latin_a so_o the_o phrase_n and_o accent_n differ_v most_o from_o the_o english_a it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a with_o the_o welsh_a which_o be_v near_o akin_a to_o the_o basbritton_n and_o biscagne_n language_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o old_a celtic_a tongue_n the_o first_o that_o be_v speak_v among_o the_o ancient_a gaul_n who_o descend_v from_o the_o celts_n the_o french_a therefore_o be_v of_o all_o the_o hard_a to_o translate_v into_o english._n for_o proof_n of_o this_o there_o be_v other_o reason_n also_o and_o first_o the_o near_a the_o genius_n and_o humour_n of_o two_o nation_n agree_v the_o idiom_n of_o their_o speech_n be_v the_o near_o and_o every_o body_n know_v there_o be_v more_o affinity_n between_o the_o english_a and_o italian_a people_n than_o the_o english_a and_o the_o french_a as_o to_o their_o humour_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n and_o for_o what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o translate_v spanish_a into_o french_a and_o i_o believe_v hardly_o possible_a to_o translate_v french_a into_o dutch._n the_o second_o reason_n be_v the_o italian_a language_n be_v the_o same_o now_o it_o be_v some_o hundred_o of_o year_n ago_o so_o be_v the_o spanish_a not_o only_o as_o to_o the_o phrase_n but_o even_o as_o to_o the_o word_n and_o orthography_n whereas_o the_o french_a language_n have_v suffer_v more_o change_n this_o hundred_o year_n past_a since_o francis_n the_o first_o than_o the_o fashion_n of_o their_o clothes_n and_o ribbon_n in_o phrase_n word_n and_o orthography_n so_o that_o i_o be_o confident_a a_o french_a man_n a_o hundred_o year_n hence_o will_v no_o more_o understand_v a_o old_a edition_n of_o froisard_n history_n than_o he_o will_v understand_v arabic_a i_o confess_v the_o french_a arm_n money_n and_o intrigue_n have_v make_v their_o language_n very_o universal_a of_o late_a for_o this_o they_o be_v to_o be_v commend_v it_o be_v a_o accident_n which_o they_o owe_v to_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o king_n and_o their_o own_o industry_n and_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o hereafter_o to_o be_v otherwise_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o the_o french_a be_v a_o corruption_n of_o the_o latin_a french_a author_n take_v a_o liberty_n to_o borrow_v whatever_o word_n they_o want_v from_o the_o latin_a without_o far_a ceremony_n especial_o when_o they_o treat_v of_o science_n this_o the_o english_a do_v not_o do_v but_o at_o second_o hand_n from_o the_o french._n it_o be_v modish_a to_o ape_n the_o french_a in_o every_o thing_n therefore_o we_o not_o only_o naturalize_v their_o word_n but_o word_n

great_a tourbillion_n remain_v where_o they_o do_v before_o and_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a misfortune_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v certain_a fix_a star_n which_o appear_v to_o we_o and_o after_o a_o

time_n proportionable_a to_o the_o effect_n the_o ancient_n be_v foolish_a to_o imagine_v that_o the_o celestial_a body_n be_v of_o a_o unchangeable_a nature_n because_o they_o never_o see_v any_o
