William Rowe was a farmer in the 17th century. We have part of the Bible translated by him into Cornish. We see The Ten Commandments. He wrote "Na ra (chee)" for "Do (thou) not" and "Gwra" for "Do". Now, our spelling is somewhat different but we can understand his words, and we still use "Na wra (chy)" for "Do (thou) not" and "Gwra" for "Do".
