reader_n of_o all_o art_n in_o the_o world_n none_o be_v so_o ancient_a so_o useful_a and_o so_o admirable_a as_o that_o of_o speak_v and_o write_v well_o and_o it_o deserve_v to_o be_v esteem_v so_o much_o the_o more_o that_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o man_n and_o be_v the_o only_a knot_n of_o society_n and_o conversation_n and_o indeed_o the_o importance_n of_o this_o art_n have_v seem_v so_o great_a to_o man_n of_o knowledge_n in_o all_o age_n that_o many_o eminent_a wit_n and_o philosopher_n and_o even_a prince_n king_n and_o emperor_n have_v not_o think_v it_o below_o their_o dignity_n not_o only_o to_o learn_v its_o precept_n but_o to_o make_v remark_n and_o publish_v treatise_n upon_o it_o to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v that_o no_o science_n or_o liberal_a art_n in_o the_o

among_o the_o great_a number_n of_o those_o we_o have_v have_v in_o england_n i_o find_v none_o but_o what_o be_v imperfect_a and_o which_o among_o many_o good_a thing_n have_v considerable_a defect_n either_o in_o the_o subject_a matter_n or_o in_o the_o order_n and_o disposition_n of_o it_o the_o small_a credit_n which_o many_o of_o th●se_a grammar_n have_v get_v in_o the_o world_n save_v i_o the_o trouble_n of_o enumerate_v their_o defect_n and_o confine_v i_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o fifteen_o edition_n have_v proclaim_v the_o best_a and_o indeed_o if_o any_o understanding_n reader_n do_v but_o examine_v it_o without_o partiality_n he_o will_v soon_o be_v convince_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o confuse_a heap_n of_o fragment_n and_o scrap_n of_o other_o grammar_n shuffle_v and_o jumble_v together_o without_o method_n there_o you_o will_v see_v most_o rule_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n promiscuous_o use_v for_o the_o french_a as_o if_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o young_a airy_a daughter_n be_v like_a to_o be_v well_o draw_v by_o that_o of_o a_o antiquate_a mother_n and_o if_o every_o language_n have_v not_o a_o particular_a air_n and_o character_n that_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o other_o there_o you_o will_v see_v many_o thing_n essential_a to_o grammar_n either_o superficial_o hint_v or_o whole_o omit_v when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n you_o will_v be_v tire_v by_o the_o tedious_a particular_n of_o many_o insignificant_a nicety_n mr._n m_o it_o seem_v have_v be_v sensible_a of_o the_o fault_n of_o former_a grammarian_n and_o have_v give_v we_o the_o
