you have done more . "

[
1913 Webster ]
Note : "
The fine distinction between `
yea '
and `
yes ,' `
nay '
and `
no ,'
that once existed in English ,
has quite disappeared . `
Yea '
and `
nay '
in Wyclif '
s time ,
and a good deal later ,
were the answers to questions framed in the affirmative . `
Will he come ?'
To this it would have been replied , `
Yea '
or `
Nay ',
as the case might be .
But , `
Will he not come ?'
To this the answer would have been `
Yes '
or `
No .'
Sir Thomas More finds fault with Tyndale ,
that in his translation of the Bible he had not observed this distinction ,
which was evidently therefore going out even then ,
that is ,
in the reign of Henry VIII .;
and shortly after it was quite forgotten ."
--
Trench .
