I abhor such fanatical phantasimes, such insociable and point-devise companions; [017] such rackers of orthography, as to speak dout, fine, when he should say doubt; det, when he should pronounce debt, —d, e, b, t, not d, e, t: he clepeth a calf, cauf; half, hauf; 020 neighbour vocatur nebour; neigh abbreviated ne. This is [021] abhominable,—which he would call abbominable: it insinuateth [022] me of insanie: ne intelligis, domine? to make frantic, lunatic.
[024] Nath. Laus Deo, bene intelligo.
[025] Hol. Bon, bon, fort bon, Priscian! a little scratched, ’twill serve.

Hol. Video, et gaudeo.

Arm. Men of peace, well encountered.
