A33624	Argumentum anti-normannicum, or, An argument proving, from ancient histories and records, that William, Duke of Normandy, made no absolute conquest of England by the Sword, in the sense of our modern writers being an answer to these four questions, viz. I. Whether William the First made an absolute conquest of this nation at his first entrance?, II. Whether he cancelled and abolished all the confessor's laws?, III. Whether he divided all our estates and fortunes between himself and his nobles?, IV. Whether it be not a grand error to affirm, that there were no English-men in the Common Council of the whole Kingdom?	Atwood, William, d. 1705?; Johnson, Samuel, 1649-1703.; Coke, Edward, Sir, 1552-1634.; Petyt, William, 1636-1707.; Cooke, Edward, of the Middle Temple.	1682 (1682)	Wing C4907; ESTC R1971	61,200	184

thereof_o be_v give_v that_o the_o norman_n be_v a_o rough_a and_o martial_a people_n have_v few_o clerk_n among_o they_o but_o make_v use_v of_o those_o french_a among_o who_o they_o then_o live_v and_o who_o language_n they_o then_o begin_v to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o and_o to_o understand_v but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o england_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o use_v of_o those_o clerk_n and_o that_o language_n but_o more_o of_o the_o english_a and_o probable_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o confessor_n have_v be_v so_o long_o in_o france_n that_o he_o be_v more_o master_n of_o that_o language_n than_o the_o norman_n and_o that_o the_o norman_n understand_v that_o language_n better_o than_o the_o english_a and_o thereupon_o the_o custumary_n be_v write_v in_o the_o french_a tongue_n but_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o duke_n william_n must_v cause_v the_o english_a law_n to_o be_v write_v in_o the_o french_a tongue_n but_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o he_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o be_v continue_v in_o their_o native_a idiom_n which_o be_v much_o near_o in_o affinity_n to_o his_o own_o northern_a language_n than_o the_o french_a be_v that_o the_o
