Sorry didn’t get back till today, but I didn’t make this up…<
And to those later who haughtily said most of the address is Latin based words…well where the fuck do you think Anglo Saxon came from. It is Germanic and originated on the coast between Netherlands and Germany before they invaded England.

So… your statement just had no meaning, since words in English almost all derive either from Anglo-Saxon or Latin, and you’re saying that any Latin origin words actually count as Anglo-Saxon. In general, there’s a distinction made between Germanic and Romance languages, which you seem to be casting aside.

The bit about words being used appearing in the King James Bible may be accurate, but again, the King James bible has nothing to do with Anglo-Saxon language; it’s written in early modern English.
