The usage of "as" is incorrect. It does not belong in the text.

Which book is that? Are you are referring to Francis Bacon of England? Do you know when Mr. Bacon lived?You are wrong. It is from a book and by Fransis Bacon. So it is not wrong.
The history of "as" goes back at least to the year 1000. In most forms it has been used to mean similar to or because. Consider this, Bacon died in the 16th Century. The meaning of many words have changed since that time. Also, check and see if there was not a printing error in the text you are reading. In addition, just because something is written doesn't make it correct.Of course his English is old fashioned, but[STRIKE] i [/STRIKE] I need to interpret his text.
I would like to see some supporting evidence that "as" was used that way in the 16th Century. It very well could be but I have never seen it used that way in the old texts.Yes, "to include" is better, but I was trying to leave "including" alone.
