There are another sort of people yet more sturdy andblunt in their formes of speech, who would say _Car_ or _Ker_ by acontraction of the two Vowels into one, as is observable among the Peasantsof France, and those of Picardy, who retain very much of Antiquity, whichseems to be agreeable with the manner of speech among the Ancient French, who delighted to shorten and contract their words as much as possible, thatthey might make up a Language altogether as free as their humour, some ofthe most re...mote of these would instead of _Ker_ pronounce _Cher_ by achange of that firm and surly letter into one more easy and soft as we yetfind it Customary in the remains of some of the Ancient Romans, and thenafter all by the turn of a Vowel into a Dipthong, from _Cher_ is form'd_Choir_, which now begins to be out of date altho its Composit _dechoir_ bestill of plausible and commendable use. Thus 'tis that _Cadere_, _Cader_, _Caer_, _Car_, _Ker_, _Cher_, _Choir_, and _Dechoir_ make up but one intirechain and connexion, yet all to very little purpose if any one of thedegrees by chance should have been wanting.
