f Defire the Reader would be pleas’d to obferve, That when
the Armenian Language is mention’d, that he would like-
Wife take notice of the great variety of pronunciation of thé
fame words amongft thofe People ; in this our Lexicons andMa-
nufcripts are fo far from informing, us, that though a Man fhould
beCompleat Matter of moft of their Idioms, yet their variety of
Elocution is fo great, that Ihould he difcourfe the different forts
of People from the diftant Parts of that Country, he would
fcarce be able to apprehend. their common Converfation. I
have been Converfant with .feveral Natives from different Parts
of that Country, and find, in fome meafure, the difference of
their Elocution to proceed from a mixture of Sdavonian and Per-
fun as they differently Bordermpon Ruffia, m&PerJtai T o ll-
luftrate the truth of this affertion, I fhall produce but-fome few in-
ftances,which in this Book arerecitedfelating to thofe Antiquities,
th a t it may be the better apprehended, and doubt not then,
but by a thoroughObfervation of thofe,and the Arguments before
premifed, to fatisfie the Unbiafsd , from what Continent this
Ifland was in a great meafure Inhabited. The words are not many,
but are as follows : The Moon fome Armenians pronounce
Latie. others Luce, others tucen; Note here that Lune is the Name
of that River from which the County of Lancafter is denominated.
A great River fome pronounce Keat, others Great, fome Rear, o-
thersKent: where obferve, that the Names of two great Waters
upon Kent Sands , are Rear and Kent: Wherefore for any Per-
fon to derive the Names of thofe Places, as Mr. Cambden and cithers
d o , from the Saxon word Can, denoting a Corner, to me
feems to be a manifeft Errour ; and I do with a great deal more
reafon farmife, that they are the fmall Relics of the AJiatiek Cot
lonies.
