The Original and excellency of the Hebrew Tongue. [ 1131]
THere are three Tongues that are in a more especiall manner,* 1.1 famous all
over the World, The Latine, Greek, and Hebrew: The first propter Regnum,
because of the Monarchy of the Romans; who as they subjected the people
which they did conquer to their Laws and Customs, so did they force▪ them
to learn their Language: The second propter doctrinam, because in it, the great
Philosophers and wise Men of the World left the Monuments of their Wise∣dome
descriptionPage 404
dome and Learning to Posterity: The third propter Deum, because in it God
delivered his Law, and the interpretation of it by Moses and the Prophets, to
the People of Israel his chosen; The Latine is a common tongue,* 1.2 the Greek a
copious tongue; but Hebrew the most ancient and holy tongue; For antiquity,
the tongue of Adam; for sanctity,* 1.3 the tongue of God. In this tongue, God spake
to the Prophets and Patriarks; In this tongue, the Angels spake to Men; In
this tongue, the Prophets wrote the Old Testament; And in this tongue, as is
thought,* 1.4 shall the Saints speak, and sing praises unto God in Heaven.
