sample: I imagin the common dialect in Greece (wherein the books we have are generally written, and which we call Greek) to have been like our ordinary English in the Southern parts: the Attick dialect to have been answerable to our London or rather Courtphrase: and the other as well dialects, as Γλῶοσαι, to have corresponded with the several dialects in the North and West of England, and Idioms of other countries. The ordinary Southern language is a mixture of the several dialects used in England (with the remains of those which are otherwise extinct) besides an accessional of Italian, French, Spanish, Welch, &c. according as the inhabitants have conversed one with another, and with foreigners: and even this ordinary language suffers a daily innovation and insensible change, as is evident to the observer, thorough the variation of the ambient, novel manner of education, customes, national and personal alliances, Du-Gardismes in Printing, and the affectation of writers, which new-model us; nor will the Doctors English Grammar be able to stay this imminent alteration. (p. 43)
