   Yes. In the longer excerpt given by Crystal, he also uses "opinion",   
   "payeng", "bankrupt", "counterfeitness", "attire", "plainlie", "nature",   
   "experience", and more.   
      
   That's why I questioned Wiki's term. I don't think he was advocating the   
   radical purism of some later eccentrics. He just thought that many or   
   most of the inkhorn words were unnecessary -- as is generally admitted.
