Further I say that if all Heathenish Obscene Lascivious and Unprofitable Books were decryed whose tendency is to Deprave Spoil Corrupt and Debauc● Youth and all Honest Useful and Profitable Books were faithfully translated into English the Latin Trade need not be so magnified which some Honest and Wise in their Day had in their thoughts But in as much as the learning of Languages are useful for the Management of Forreign Transactions Negotiations and Correspondence with other Nations as before I speak not against the same nor against Grammer contributing to the attainment thereof only I give my judgment as followeth and do wish 1. That Grammers were not so tedious finding that the great heaps of Rules Exceptions Criticisms and Nicities therein are a discouragement to many and pursued by others as the only Necessaries Sound Useful Solid and Profitable Matter being in the mean time neglected the Comments of Grammarians saith M.Fab.

It being that Grammer consists of Rules and Examples I could wish that all Examples therein were Sound and Savoury that in reading thereof nothing but what savours of and encourages to a virtuous course of Living might be instilled into the Reader how precious were it if their Souls like Gideons Fleece did drink up betime the pearly Dew of Divine Grace and Heaven-bred Wisdom Children are to be trained up in the Lord's Way and in the Lords Language not in the Way of the Heathen nor in bad vitious and infecting Words evil Communications as the chosen Vessel Paul bears record corrupt good Manners 3. It being that Grammer is an A●t teaching to Write and Read rightly ought it not to be observed in Writing Reading and Speaking Yes But all that in Writing or Speaking use Ye or You to one Person High or Low Poor or Rich such are out of the Right Sound Proper Speech and deviate from the Form of Sound Words and from the Rule and Order of Grammer The World consists of many Nations whereof each hath a peculiar Language Speech or Dialect yet all concur and are unanimous in the account of Number Singular and Plural I Thou He imports but One We Ye They imports more then One and 't were as proper to say Thou to a Thousand as to say You or Ye to One Man both being Absurd Improper and Ridiculous Do not all Grammarians in teaching their respective Languages or Tongues as Eaglish Latin Greek Hebrew Italian Caldee Syriack Arabick Persian Ethiopian Samaritan Captick or Aegyptick Armenian Saxon Welch Cornish French Spanish Portugal High Dutch Low Dutch Danish Bohemian Sclavonian Polonian Lithuanian Irish Swedish Turkish Muscovian c. I say do they not all distinguish between Singular Number and Plural which is Thou to One You or Ye to more then One I say Yes Do not Roman Authors and others as Poets Comedians Tragedians Orators Historians Philosopers highly esteemed in Schools and Universities observe this distinction Yes Are not Children blamed yea and entertained with Orbilian Severity in Schools of Literature if they use one Number for another And why they should not in other places upon all accounts and occasions observe the true property of Speech in relation to this distinction of Numbers let them shew a Reason that can Object 'T is true say some this distinction of Numbers cannot be spoken against in order to Grammatical Consideration and Verity of Speech but a Custom to the contrary hath got entrance so that 't is uncivil and improper to use the Word Thou to some perticular Person Answ To account Thou to a single Person High or Low Rich or Poor Uncivil Clownish or Improper 't is no less then to accuse God himself Christ the Upright Patriarchs Holy Prophets Seers Evangelists Disciples Apostles Gospel Bishops Elders Pallors Deacons Primitive Saints Holy Martyrs who never used any other Language yea and 't is no less then to accuse all Languages upon the Face of the Earth which according to the property thereof observe this distinction Luther much esteemed in his Age and deservedly owned plainness of Speech holding out You or Ye to one to be Ridiculous Foolish Absurd and Impertinent Lud. Int Oper. Erasmus derided the impertinent Speech of using You to one E●…s Col. Must the Language of the Antient of Days of Christ of the Holy men of God be slighted because of an Unsound Absurd and Impertinent Custom crept in in the Night of Apostacy Must the Glorious Work of Reformation be shut out upon such frivolous accounts The Apostle of the Lamb bore Record saying If any Man be in Christ he is a New Creature old things are done away Not only the Works but the Foolish Absurd and Impertinent Wordt of the Old Man that the Work of Reformation may prosper This using of You or Ye to a perticular Person â principio non ita suit it was not so from the beginning Tertullian an Antient and Learned Latin Father said thus ' That is true which was first that was first which was from the beginning that was from the beginning which was from the Apostles ' The Apostles who derived the ground of their Works and Words from him who was before all Time used no such impertinent Speech Augustin Bishop of Hippo in or about the Year 399. did not so magnifie groundless Custom as his Testimony implies who said ' Custom is not to be prefered before Truth but ought to give place to the Truth ' Not only in Works say I but in Words also Again the same Augustin said ' Custom crept in among some ought not to hinder the Truth from Prevailing and Conquering For Custom saith he without Truth is nothing but Gray-hair'd or Old Error Wherefore saith he forsaking Error let us follow Truth ' Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life who was never sound in such absurd improper and impertinent Speech Further James Howel saith in his Epistle dedicated to the Nobility and Gentry of Great Britain which he annexed to a French English Dictionary compiled by Randle

Licinus the Emperor called Heathen Learning the Plague and Povson of the Common-wealth Trapp Luther speaking of Popish Schools and Monastries wherein Heathenism was taught said ' This is my mind and desire that these Stables of Two-Footed Asses and Schools of the Devil were levelled with the ground or changed into Christian Schools by a Godly Transformation ' Luth. de Instit Puer Logick is so far from leading to the Knowledge of Universals that it rather thursts Men down into Errors John Bapt.

Josephus in his first Book of Antiquities clearly demonstrates that Abraham first taught Astrology unto the Aegyptians when he went down into Aegypt and that the Caldeans and Greeks received the same from the Aegyptians Pol. lib. 1. cap. 17. To this I say Abraham was perfect in his Generation the Father of the Faithful and the sum of his Doctrine unto his Children was That they might walk in the Way of the Lord and observe his Statutes and being wise in the Wisdom of the Lord. I do not deny but that he might take occasion among the Aegyptians to speak of the Wisdom and Power of the Lord in producing the wonderful Fabrick of the Creation of the Sun Moon Stars and their Influence over and upon Inferior Bodies all which bespeak the unutterable Power and Wisdom of the great Former To which Testimony of Abraham the Aegyptians adding the corrupt Ingredients of their own Inventions and Imaginations Fooleries and Mis apprehensions might patch up their Art of Astrology Corruptio optimi fit pessima Best things being Corrupted become Worst Job knew that his Redeemer Lived and in the Wisdom of his Redeemer he saw much into the Creation he spoke of Thunder of Vapours of Clouds of Rain of Snow of Hail of the Sea of Fountains of Metals as Gold Silver Iron Brass of Stones of Precious Stones of Subterraneo●s Fire of Stars of Living Creatures of Earth-Quakes of A●cturus Orion and the Pleides of the Sun of the Heavens c.
