To the right honourable Worshipfull vertuous and godly Ladies the Lady Hastings the Lady Dudley the Lady Mountague the Lady Wingfield and the Lady Leigh his Christian friends R. C. wisheth great prosperitie in this life with increase of grace and peace from God our Father though Iesus Christ our Lord and onely Sauiour BY this Table right Houourable and Worshipfull strangers that blame our tongue of difficultie and vncertaintie may hereby plainely see and better vnderstand those things which they haue thought hard Hereby also the true Orthographie that is the true writing of many hard English words borrowed from the Greeke Latine and French and how to know one from the other with the interpretation thereof by plaine English words may be learned known And children hereby may be prepared for the vnderstanding of a great number of Latine words which also will bring much delight and iudgement to others by the vse of this little worke Now when I had called to minde right Honorable and Worshipfull the great kindnes and bountifulnesse which I found in that vertuous and godly Lady Lucy Harington your Honors and Worships mother and my especiall friend in the Lord. When and at such time as the right Worshipfull Sir Iames Harington Knight your Ladiships Brother was my Scholler and now my singular benefactor when I taught the Grammer Schoole at Okeham in the County of Rutland In consideration whereof and also for that I acknowledge my selfe much beholding and indebted to the most of you since this time being all naturall Sisters I am bold to make you all ioyntly Patrons hereof and vnder your names to publish this simple worke And thus praying that God of his vnspeakeable mercies will blesse both your Honours and Worships I do with all good wishes to you all with all yours as to mine owne soule humbly take my leaue Your Honours and Worships euer ready in Christ Iesus to be commanded Robert Cawdrey To the Reader SVch as by their place and calling but especially Preachers as haue occasion to speake publiquely before the ignorant people are to bee admonished that they neuer affect any strange inkhorne tearmes but labour to speake so as is commonly receiued and so as the most ignorant may well vnderstand them neyther seeking to be ouer fine or curious nor yet liuing ouer carelesse vsing their speach as most men doe and ordering their wits as the fewest haue done Some men seek so far for outlandish English that they forget altogether their mothers language so that if some of their mothers were aliue they were not able to tell or vnderstand what they say and yet these fine English Clearkes will say they speake in their mother tongue but one might well charge them for counterfayting the Kings English Also some far iournied gentlemen at their returne home like as they loue to goe in forraine apparrell so they will pouder their talke with ouer-sea language Hee that commeth lately out of France will talke French English and neuer blush at the matter Another chops in with English Italianated and applyeth the Italian phrase to our English speaking the which is as if an Orator that professeth to vtter his minde in plaine Latine would needs speake Poetrie and far fetched colours of strange antiquitie Doth any wise man thinke that wit resteth in strange words or else standeth it not in wholsome matter and apt declaring of a mans minde Doe wee not speake because we would haue others to vnderstand vs or is not the tongue giuen for this end that one might know what another meaneth Therefore either wee must make a difference of English and say some is learned English and othersome is rude English or the one is Court talke the other is Country-speech or else we must of necessitie banish all affected Rhetorique and vse altogether one manner of language Those therefore that will auoid this follie and acquaint themselues with the plainest and best kinde of speach must seeke from time to time such wordes as are commonly receiued such as properly may expresse in plaine manner the whole conceit of their minde And looke what words we best vnderstand and know what they meane the same should soonest be spoken and first applyed to the vtterance of our purpose Therfore for this end foure things would chiefly be obserued in the choyse of wordes First that such wordes as wee vse should bee proper vnto the tongue wherein we speake Againe that they be plaine for all men to perceiue Thirdly that they bee apt and meete most properly to set out the matter Fourthlie that wordes translated from one signification to another called of the Grecians Tropes be vsed to beautifie the sentence as precious stones are set in a ring to commend the gold Now such are thought apt wordes that properly agree vnto that thing which they signifie and plainly expresse the nature of the same Therefore they that haue regard of their estimation and credite doe warily speake with choise vtter words most apt for their purpose In waightie causes graue wordes are thought most needfull that the greatnesse of the matter may the rather appeare in the vehemencie of their talke So likewise of other like order must be taken Albeit some not onely doe not obserue this kinde of aptnesse but also they fall into much fondnes by vsing words out of place and applying them to diuers matters without all discretion If thou be desirous gentle Reader rightly and readily to vnderstand and to profit by this Table and such like then thou must learne the Alphabet to wit the order of the Letters as they stand perfectly without booke and where euery Letter standeth as b neere the beginning n about the middest and t toward the end Now if the word which thou art desirous to finde begin with a then looke in the beginning of this Table but if with v looke towards the end Again if thy word begin with ca looke in the beginning of the Letter c but if with cu then looke toward the end of that Letter And so of all the rest c.
