Riders dictionarie, corrected and augmented with the addition of many hundred words both out of the law, and out of the Latine, French, and other languages, such as were and are with us in common use, but never printed till now, to the perfecting of the worke. The barbarous words which were many hundreds are expunged, to the helpe of young scholars, which before they used in stead of good words. Also hereunto is annexed certaine tables of weights and measures, the valuation of auncient and moderne coines; as also a table of the Hebrew, Greeke, and Latine measures, reduced to our English standard and assise: and the weights used in physicke, none of which were ever in Riders worke. Whereunto is joyned a dictionarie etymologicall, deriving each word from his proper fountaine, the first that ever was extant in this kind, with many worthy castigations and additions, in this last edition, as will appeare in the title and epistle before it.
