And when I read some of the said book, I thought about it and decided to translate it into English, and forthwith took a quill and ink and wrote a page or two, which I then examined to make corrections. And when I saw the sophisticated and unusual terms there, I feared it would displease some gentlemen who had lately blamed me, saying that my translations featured too many obscure terms that could not be understood by the common folk, and wanted me to use old and conventional terms in my translations. And I would be happy to satisfy every man, and with that in mind I took an old book and read from it; and certainly its English was so plain and varied that I struggled to understand it.
