<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3360954, member: 14873&quot;]I think you may be right [USER=57364]@THCoins[/USER]. The English written words employed in (particularly) the 1600s to 1700s are often spelled, and used, somewhat differently - sometimes quite a bit differently - than they are today. But most English scholars and members of learned professions such as Barristers (Lawyers) could write clear, understandable documents. See the Queen Elizabeth I letter I have attached (and please note the various word spellings and usage). Of course she was tutored by the leading scholar (and eminent calligrapher) Roger Ascham, but there were many other accomplished writers at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]890820[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
