Scholler of whom thou maist enquire and doe not thinke it any discred it to declare thy want being in a matter pertaining to Grammar or other such things as those of thy condition are vsually vnacquainted with rather assure thy selfe that all wise men will commend thee that desirest knowledge which many reiect but they which refuse to be directed I know are such as delight in their ●o●tish ignorance like Scoggius Priest who because he had vsed his old Annumpsimus for these do●en yeares would not forsake it for the other new Assumpsimus though it were neuer so good Two things generally you must marke for the vse of this Booke first the true vnderstanding of it in the ●atter secondly the manner of learning it if thou be onely a Scholler then the order of teaching it if thou be also a Teacher And for the first where I professe to teach with farre more ease and pleasure to the learner And therefore with greater speed than others vnderstand the reason Thou hast but two principall things to learne to spell truly any word of one syllable and to diuide truly any word of many For the first I haue disposed syllables so in the first Booke howsoeuer at the first sight they may seeme common as that thou canst meete none but either thou hast it there set downe or at least so many like both for the beginning or end as that none can bee propounded vnto thee that thou shalt not be skilfull in And I haue so begunne with the easiest proc●eding by degr●es vnto harder that they first learned all the other will follow with very little labour These syllables knowne because all words bee they neuer so long or hard be made of them thou hast nothing to learne but to diuide them for which I haue laid downe so easie and certaine Rules beleeue me that haue tryed as that thou shalt neuer ●rr● in any hard word I doubt not but thine owne experience shall finde this true and so my promise in that point performed to the full Maruell not why in this first booke I haue differed in writing many syllables from the vsuall manner yea from my selfe in the rest of the worke as templ without e tun with one n and plums not plummes c. My reason is I haue put there no more letters than are of absolute necessitie when in the rest I haue followed custome yea often I write the same word diuersly if it bee vsed indifferently the better to acquaint thee with any kind of writing Touching the speeches at the end of the 1 2 4 7 and 8 Chapters regard not the matter being vaine but my purpose which is to bring thee to present vse of reading words of one syllable which thou hast learned to spell and so thou maist haue nothing in the second booke to learne but onely diuision of words and other hard obseruations The titles of the chapters and notes in the margent which I would alwayes haue thee diligently read and marke will make these things more 〈◊〉 vnto thee Also where I vndertake to make thee to write the true Orthography of any word truely pronounced I must meane it of those words whose writings determined for there are many wherein the best English-men in this Land are not agreed as some write malicious deriuing it from malice other write malitious as from the Latin malitiosus So some write Germane from the Latine some Germaine from the French Neither doe I deale with proper names strange words of Art in seuerall Sciences nor the vnknowne tearmes of peculiar Countries if they differ from ordinary rules vnlesse sometimes vpon some speciall occasion I know ere this thou thirstest that art a Teacher to heare how thou maist with more ease and profit teach a hundred Schollers than before forty follow my aduice and I warrant the successe Let euerie one of thy Schollers for the best thou hast shalt learne that heere which hee neuer knew neither needeth he any other for English prouide and vse this Booke then diuide thy Schollers in 2 3 or 4. sorts as thy number is for moe thou needest not although thou hast a hundred Schollers place so many of them as are neerest of like forwardnesse in one lesson or fourme as in Grammer Schooles and so goe thorow thy whole number not making aboue foure companies at the most so that thou shalt haue but foure Lectures to heare though thou hast a hundred Schollers whereas before thou hadst forty Lectures though but forty Schollers Then when thou wouldest heare any fourme call them forth all be they ten twenty or more together heare two or three that thou most suspectest to be most negligent or of dullest ●onceit and let all the other attend or let one read one line sentence or part another the next and so thorough so that all doe somewhat and none know when or what shall be required of him encourage the most diligent and tenderest natures And thus doubt not but thou shalt doe more good vnto twenty in one houre than before vnto foure in seuerall lessons For the apposing each other as I haue directed in the end of the second Booke emulation and feare of discredit will make them enuy who shall excell By this meanes also euerie one in a higher fourme shall be well able to helpe those vnder him and that without losse of time seeing thereby hee repeateth that which hee lately learned Now touching the framing and sweet tuning of the voyce I haue giuen thee this helpe I haue added for prose all sorts of stile both dialogue and other and for verse Psalmes and other verses of all the seuerall sorts vsual● which being well taught will frame thee to the naturall reading of any English But here I must make earnest request vnto all carefull Ministers that as they tender the good education of the youth in their Parishes they would sometimes repaire vnto the Schooles of such Teachers as are not Grāmarians to heare their children pronounce and to helpe such with their direction that desire to vse this Booke in their Schooles for it is lamentable to see into what ignorant handling silly little children chance which should at the first bee most skilfully grounded which is the onely cause of such wofull ignorance in so many men and women that cannot write without great error one sentence of true English therefore let Parents now be wise vnto whom they commit their children But to returne to my teaching Tradesmen If thou desirest to be informed how to teach this Treatise marke diligently the directions giuen in all places of the Booke and as thy Scholler is in saying his lesson marke what words he misseth and them note with thy pen or pin and let him repeat them at the next Lecture and so vntill he be perfect not regarding those where he is skilfull And let his fellowes also remember them to appose him in them in their appositions But mee ●hought I heard thee say that my reasons

thrée or moe Consonants together in the middest of a word Ma. Yea altogether For as many Consonants as can must be joyned and the rest diuided Schol. How many Consonants may come in the beginning of a word Ma. Thrée and no more therefore if in the midst there come foure or mo they must be diuided although foure may end a syllable as in words Schol. How shall I be sure which thrée may be joyned Ma. They are all set downe in the beginning of the fift Chapter of the first book But for more plainnesse sake I will giue euery one of them an example whereof wée haue an ordinary English word as scraps skrew shrink stroke spilt spring thrall twhi●e Schol. Giue an example for diuiding of these words wherein many consonants come together Mast One or two may serue if you remember what hath béen taught As for this word con-straine you may not say co-nstraine nor cons-traine const-raine nor constr-aine but con-straine because ns cannot begin a syllable str can therefore it must begin it so im-ploy King-dome destruction ac-know-ledge trans-gresse c. And this rule must you carefully still-practice that you may readily giue the reason in all such words why euery consonant must goe to this syllable rather than to that But still looke as before that so●le compound words must be markt as mis-take dis-like transpose with-out through-our c. Which if they had béene simple words we must haue spelled them thus mi-stake dislike tran-spose as yée haue learned because in composition euery word must haue his owne letters not mingled with other Schol. But Sir some men spell deriuatiue words thus speak eth strength en-ing otherwise than you haue taught Mast I know it well yet because if such words should be so spelled we must for them frame new rules which were to bring a néedlesse oppression on childrens memories and that the former rules can bring no inconuenience in any word therefore follow them without feare or doubt And thus may you by this that you haue learned spel truly certainly with judgment any English word that can be laid before you Schol. Object Although all men will grant that these rules must of necessity bring a spéedy course of readi●g to as many as are of yéeres able to discerne yet many will not easily beléeue that little children can conceiue them and make vse of them and then they will rather bring confusion than profit Mast Answ But experience hath taught the contrary for a child of an ordinary capacity will and hath easily conceiued these rules being orderly taught But discretion must be vsed not to trouble them with any new rule before they be perfect in the old The words of art here vsed are not aboue eight in all the most of them I would haue the child learne while he is learning to spell in the first booke as I haue giuen d●rection there in the beginning which words there and rules héere being orderly taught as is prescribed neuer by the blessing of God doubt of a comfortlesse successe therefore I wish that no man with a preindicate opinion doe reiect them before he hath made good tryall vpon some ordinary wits but would haue all such as teach to reade that they would make their Schollers as perfect in the rules of these thrée Chapters as may bée being of the chiefest necessity and vse the other that follow because some of them be more hard containing onely difference of sounds of our English letters and other obseruations for true writing if your child be very young or dull trouble him with vnderstanding no more of them than he is fit to containe and vse yet let him learne to reade them all for it were granted that he could vnderstand none of them no nor some of the former yet while he reades them he learneth as much and goeth on as fact as by reading any other matter For I demand what he vnderstands when hée readeth a Chapter in the Bible Yet will no man deny him profit by reading And this hath made me longer by the one halfe for plainnesse sake than otherwise I might knowing that in practising to reade he looseth not his labour Although these three Chapters be of greatest vse for Readers yet let your Scholler diligently reade the rest For although he doe not vnderstand some of the rules following at the first reading yet he may at the second CHAP. IIII. This Chapter layeth forth a more full declaration of certaine rules mentioned before as of e in the end of a word of those letters which are not pronounced and for writing any words of the plurall number Schol. I Remember you told me the e in the end of a word is not pronounced beside that it draweth the syllable long it also changeth the sound of Letters I pray which are they Ma. It changeth the sound of these letters u c g. when any of these vowels go before as au eu iu ou ac ic oc uc ag ug so iu ag ig as in * hau haue leu leue lou loue so caue saue salue hiue thriue so a without c is sounded like k but ace with e like ase as in accord but place race so lic lice truc truce also ag age as stag stage so cag cage so ●●g huge deluge so hang strange string fringe so larg large in most of which e doth also draw the syllable long a● you saw in ag age hug huge Where you must marke that the sound which g hath in age and huge being long in short syllables is made by putting d before g as in badg trudg So it is also when e i or o come before g as leg ledge rig ridge log lodg which vowels before g are neuer long except in leig sieg which is the putting in i. Schol. But Sir you haue vsed e in the end of many words not sounded when neither it changeth sound nor maketh the syllable long why is that Ma. Wée sée it indéed often but rather of custome as they say for beautie than of necessitie as after i but not after y as in bie by and after two consonants or a consonant doubled as in article angle barre chaffe sonne whereas the learned languages neither double the consonant nor vse such e as the Latines say mel as ros we mell as rosse And sometime we vse not e when the word is long as after ll as in all fall shall yea we vse as longer without e than asse with it Yet sometime we vse e after two consonants to draw the syllable long for difference sake principally if the end of them be l as in cradle ladle least they should be pronounced short like saddl ladl which some men would distinguish by doubling dd as saddle But it is both vsuall and néedlesse to write bibbl and chilld to make them differ from bible and child And some pronounce these words blind find behind short other blinde finde behinde with e long
