"a proud and very profane yonge man."
This quote is from here. What does yonge mean in this context? A search to the dictionary came up with:
Charlotte M(ary). 1823–1901, British novelist, whose works reflect the religious ideals of the Oxford Movement. Her best-known book is The Heir of Redclyffe (1853)
I can't seem to relate a word used to describe a person in the quote to be explained by naming a person (definition as given in the dictionary).
What does yonge mean?
Could you paraphrase this quote too?
