He died, according to Stow, who gives 
his epitaph, in 1511: Bale fays, the 28th

riarum is the jum of all. (See. Bale. vin.

In this little volume, the ftrong analogy 
between the Englith and the F lemifh lan- 
guages is curiouily illuftrated. It feems

nearer relation to the Belgic than the 
German. -The comparifon is perhaps of 
more importance, as we have but few if 
any fragments of the antient Belgic to 
affimilate with the Anglo-Saxon. 
The following inftances ave 
without feleétion. 
Engliph. 
He hath nothing to eat. 
Let it go. 
Make place there. 
Methinks that it is good. 7 
Make all good cheer pray you. 
How much hath it coft you?

Hy en heeft t’eten. 
Laet gaen.
