there_o be_v a_o repetition_n in_o the_o latin_a verse_n which_o undoubted_o come_v from_o the_o phoenician_n not_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n but_o very_o

of_o the_o original_a as_o they_o be_v in_o latin_a character_n i_o shall_v not_o undertake_v to_o expound_v in_o particular_a each_o verse_n because_o bochart_n have_v partly_o do_v it_o already_o and_o because_o the_o version_n which_o be_v add_v thereunto_o be_v sufficient_a i_o shall_v only_o admonish_v the_o reader_n of_o three_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o each_o line_n of_o the_o phoenician_n write_v in_o latin_a contain_v two_o verse_n which_o be_v join_v together_o because_o plautus_n have_v express_v two_o of_o they_o in_o one_o latin_a verse_n so_o that_o for_o eleven_o verse_n of_o plautus_n there_o shall_v be_v twenty_o two_o phoenician_n one_o whereas_o there_o be_v but_o twenty_o but_o as_o it_o have_v be_v already_o say_v there_o be_v a_o line_n lose_v to_o wit_v two_o verse_n this_o have_v be_v supply_v in_o translate_n the_o verse_n of_o plautus_n into_o two_o little_a verse_n which_o do_v rhyme_n together_o as_o the_o other_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o we_o know_v not_o the_o pronunciation_n of_o the_o punic_a tongue_n as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o vowel_n it_o may_v be_v that_o it_o come_v near_o to_o the_o syriack_n or_o arabic_a than_o the_o hebrew_n or_o even_o that_o in_o africa_n some_o word_n be_v pronounce_v quite_o otherwise_o than_o in_o asia_n as_o it_o be_v now_o see_v in_o the_o different_a dialect_n of_o the_o arabic_a tongue_n and_o as_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o nation_n of_o europe_n who_o tongue_n come_v from_o the_o same_o source_n pronounce_v the_o same_o root_n quite_o otherwise_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o vowel_n though_o it_o retain_v the_o same_o consonant_n so_o although_o we_o can_v mark_v here_o the_o radical_a letter_n and_o that_o they_o can_v be_v punctuate_v after_o the_o way_n of_o the_o hebrew_n or_o that_o of_o the_o syrian_n it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o follow_v that_o that_o be_v the_o true_a pronunciation_n of_o the_o word_n the_o consonant_n principal_o aught_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o and_o consider_v if_o they_o may_v have_v be_v pronounce_v so_o that_o they_o rhyme_n together_o for_o example_n who_o can_v tell_v if_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d have_v be_v pronounce_v benothai_o or_o benothi_fw-mi or_o benothe_v it_o suffice_v therefore_o to_o make_v the_o follow_a verse_n by_o a_o word_n which_o end_v in_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d see_v it_o be_v not_o know_v after_o what_o manner_n the_o carthaginian_n pronounce_v this_o termination_n the_o three_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v note_a here_o regard_v the_o place_n wherein_o we_o have_v swerve_v from_o the_o conjecture_n of_o bochart_n we_o have_v a_o little_a disagree_v with_o he_o in_o verse_n 3_o 4_o 5_o 11_o 17_o and_o 32_o beside_o the_o 9_o the_o and_o 10_o the_o which_o have_v
