I spend lots of time reading material from the 16th and 17th centuries, and it is usually perfectly clear what they meant; infact, it is generally clearer than modern writing.

The only real differences between our language now and the real english language is that we have lost words, and the ability to convey more specific ideas, due to the dumming-down of language by government schools.
