This beast I ſle[?]: this cony I fle[?], I bꝛake my hed: I go to bed: I hurt my leg: this mā doth beg. Al theſe woꝛ=- des in the latter ende of theſe rimes that is ſle fle** The distinction between 'ſle' and 'fle' is difficult to make out in the text, but is made more clearly in the 1570 edition.[?], hed bed, leg, beg, are ſoūde vpō without yᵉ mouth, ⁊ ſome what ſhoꝛt, therefoꝛe they would be wꝛittē wᵗ ſyngle e and
and ſo the Italiās vſe to ſoūd the ſingle e: and ſo we ought to teach our childꝛē to ſoūd it in learning their croſſerowe. But whē I ſay thus: behold I ſe, I knele on my knee: this bied doth bꝛede: my noſe dothe blede this mā I wene is ſicke in the ſplē: ⁊ al theſ woꝛdes in the later end of theſe rimes (that is to ſai kne: bꝛed bleed, ween, ſplen, are ſoūded cloſe within the mouth and ſom what moꝛe pꝛolōged, therfoꝛe they would be wꝛittē with the double ee, foꝛ it is moꝛe conueniēt to pꝛolōge the double ee, then the ſingle e, and alſo moꝛe conueniēt to make ſhoꝛt the ſingle e, thē the double ee. And the ſame rule wolde be obſerued in the ſingle o, ⁊ the double oo, foꝛ whē I ſaye thus, a bareyne do is as ſwift as a ro, I loue well God ſmit wᵗ thy rod. Theſe woꝛdes do, go, god. rod, wold be wꝛittē with ſingle o. But when I ſay this womā I woo this woꝛke I doo the bleſſed rood, amēd your mood. Theſe woꝛdes woo doo, rood, wood, would be wꝛittē with double oo: and ſo the double oo, ought to be ſoūded lōge, and within the mouth, ⁊ the ſingle o, ſhoꝛt ⁊ out of the meuthe, ⁊ we ought to teache our childꝛē to soūd the ſingle o, in learning thē their croſrow, as the Italians ſoūde it: Neuertheleste there is many woꝛdes in Engliſh that men vſe to ſoūde ſomtime after the ſingle e, and ſome time after the double ee, ⁊ ſomtime after the ſingle o, and ſometime after the double oo, ye may wꝛite them with the ſingle e, oꝛ double ee, ⁊ with ſingle o, oꝛ dou=- ble oo, at your pleaſure.

There is other woꝛdes our Engliſh tongue, ⁊ wꝛit ten with ſingle e, and ſoūde open out of the mouth ⁊ pꝛolōged: as when I ſaye thus. By counſayl and rede B.i.I
B1vI walked in a mede, of tē arres ** In the 1570 edition, 'arres' is corrected to 'acres'.bꝛede. Theſe woꝛdes: rede, mede, bꝛede. becauſe they are ſoūded open out of the mouth, they ought to be wꝛittē with ſingle e. And becauſe thei are pꝛolōged in ſoūd then ought to haue another ſyngle e, in yᵉ latter ende of yᵉ ſyllabe to pꝛo=- long the ſoūde, which we vſe oftymes in the Engliſh tōgue, thꝛough out all the fyue vouelles. As when I ſay thus. In yᵘ water I wade, I walke in yᵉ ſhade, my bow is weke, I wil it bꝛeke, this pere is rype, geue it a strype, ful wel I hope, to dꝛinke a ſope, my purſe of tuke, was made in luke, al theſe woꝛdes, wade, ſhade, weke bꝛeke, rype strype, hope ſope, tuke luke, are ſoū=- ded out of the mouth, and pꝛolōged by putting to the ſingle in yᵉ latter ende of the ſyllabe. But yf that e be put away, then ſhall theſe ſillabes be ſounde ſhoꝛt, as wad, ſhad, wek, bꝛek, ryp, strip, hop, ſop, ⁊c. Alſo ī theſe pointes the Engliſh tongue is much moꝛe to be pꝛay=- ſed then the Frēche, becauſe in Frēche they wꝛite oft=- times in many letters yᵘ ** In the 1570 edition, yᵘ is expanded to 'that'. leſe their pꝛoper ſoūd, but in Engliſh we vſe to wꝛite no letter but thei are ſoūded except it be of certayn woꝛdes vſed of late, which are boꝛowed of the Frēch togue, which ſhal greatly hurt the Engliſh tongue, if it do ſo cōtinue. Foꝛ in the La=- tin tongue, and other ſubstancial cōgrue languages, they vſe ſeldome ſuche errours.
Alſo you must vnderstāde, that moste cōmonly ſo ofte as this letter (ſ) cometh ſingle in the middes of anye woꝛd oꝛ yᵉ latter ende, hauinge this letter e, mediatly folowing (ſ the (ſ) ſhal beare the ſound of, ȝ, as exāple to muſe muche maſeth the mynde.
