           their

           words

           especially
           being

           familiar

           as
           when
           I
           apply'd
           my self
           to
           that
           present
           work
           ,
           I
           found
           it
           very
           difficult
           to
           renounce
           my
           former
           acquaintance
           with
           them
           ;
           but
           as
           they
           freely
           offred
           themselves
           ,
           so
           I
           entertain'd
           them
           upon
           these
           considerations
           .
           First
           ,
           I
           was
           confident
           that
           amongst
           learned
           men
           they
           needed
           no
           other
           passe
           then
           their
           own
           extraction
           .
           And
           for
           those
           who
           were
           meer
           English
           readers
           I
           saw
           no
           reason
           they
           should
           wonder
           at
           them
           ,
           considering
           that
           for
           their
           satisfaction
           ,
           I
           had
           sent
           along
           with
           every
           forreigner
           his
           interpreter
           to
           serve
           instead
           of
           a
           Dictionary
           .
        
         
           Then
           I
           had
           observed
           that
           our
           language
           had
           of
           late
           already
           admitted
           very
           neer
           all
           of
           them
           into
           so
           frequent
           use
           in
           ordinary
           discourse
           ,
           as
           almost
           amounted
           to
           a
           Naturalization
           of
           them
           amongst
           us
           .
        
         
           Lastly
           ,
           I
           was
           perswaded
           ,
           so
           long
           as
           my
           Narrative
           was
           evenly
           carri'd
           ,
           and
           tolerably
           true
           ,
           a
           canded
           Reader
           would
           have
           pardoned

           takes

           or
           intended
           to

           The
           Observator
           hath
           ,
           I
           believe
           ,
           a
           probable
           conjecture
           at
           this
           high-Flyer
           ;
           but
           as
           to
           his
           vindication
           of
           him
           from
           such
           distemper
           in
           his
           words
           or
           actions
           ,
           I
           fear
           his
           word
           will
           scarce
           be
           taken
           .
           The
           truth
           is
           ,
           it
           seems
           my
           information
           was
           not
           then
           so
           good
           as
           since

           therefore
           I
           have
           now
           corrected
           that
           expression
           according

           I
           think

           not
           much
           of
