It
would be too tedious to go through them all; and therefore I shall
only take notice of such as can be referred to three general heads;
the _first_ consisting of words not used by any other writer; the
_second_, of words used by other writers, but in a different sense;
and the _third_, of words inflected in a manner contrary to grammar
and custom.
Under the _first_ head I would recommend the following words to the
reader's consideration.
1. ABESSIE. E. III. 89.
Whylest the congeon flowrette _abessie_ dyghte.
2. ABORNE. T. 45.

3. ABREDYNGE. AE 334.

4. ACROOLE. El. 6.
Didde speke _acroole_, wythe languishment of eyne.
5. ADAVE. H. 2. 392.

6. ADENTE. AE 396. ADENTED. G. 32.

7. ADRAMES. Ep. 27.
