antiquissi habititore
Omnia nomina
propria aliquando appellariva
fuere
Ergo ubi non intelliguntur
consequens est, mutationem
linguae esse factam
Linguae antiquae facilius
conservantur in nominibus
propriis, quam in appellativis
Nomina fluminum et montium
in plerisque locis non intelliguntur
Unde sequitur alterius linguae
nunc esse habitatores quam olim
Nomina propria hominum
termanica in plerisque regionibus
pro bona parte intelligibilia sunt
Nomina propria hominum
per Germaniam nuspiam minus
intelliguntur magisque a lingua
postra adhorrent quam in Frisia
Nomina prostria Termanorum
velutit
veberum Gothorum vandatorum,
Francorum Longobardorum bonam
partem satis hodieque intelligibilia
sunt.
Nomina propria hominum
Frisia hodierna magis sunt
difficilia intellectu, et a Germanico
abhorrentia quam solent esse
ipsa nomina veterum Germanorum
quae in Historia extant
Ergo quantum ad nomina
propria hominum Frisii plura hodie
habent vestigia antiquiorum regionis
habitatorum, quam Germani caeteri
habebant jam olim tem pore Romanorum
ex nominibus propriis
proportione quadam et de caeteris
jadicari potest.
N3. certu digno
(unde sequitur Germanorum gentem minus esse
mutatam admistione alienigenarum)
Funde magis ad huc sequitur eandem esse Germanorum
gentem, quam si pota nomina hocherua explicare daretur
