To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here did he begin and finish the Translation of so manyAuthors, that considering their Voluminousness, a Man would think hehad done nothing else; which made one thus to descant on him.
_Holland_ with his Translations doth so fill us, He will not let _Suetonius_ be _Tranquillus_.
Now as he was a Translator of many Authors, so was he very Faithful inwhat he did; But what commended him most in the Praise of Posterity, was his Translating _Cambdens Britania_, a Translation more then aTranslatio...n: he adding to it many more notes then what were first inthe Lattin Edition, but such as were done by Mr. _Cambden_ in his Lifetime, discoverable in the former part with Astericks in the Margent;But these Additions with some Antiquaries obtain not equalAuthenticalness with what was set forth by Mr. _Cambden_ himself.
Some of these Books (notwithstanding their Gigantick bigness) he wrotewith one Pen, where he himself thus pleasantly versified.
With one sole Pen, I writ this Book, Made of a Gray Goose quill: A Pen it was when I it took, And a Pen I leave it still.
