Kind Teachers give Boys Bun and Cake,
Their Letters for to Learn them make.
G is deaf in sign, not signifie, and g[h] in boug[h]t, broug[h]t, not in coug[h], throug[h], enoug[h], w[h]ih is strangly spoken, stuff, enoug[h], boug[h]s, enoug[h], (corn enoug[h]) and sig[h]ed, and g[h]ed spells [h]ead, if ec be not cast away; let k be g[h]a, else k (unless for g[h]) as in back, stack, crack, would be a vain impertinent Letter, and deserves (as suh) in an orderly Family to be cic’d out o’ th’ doors. For our Battle-dore is a well-[g]overn’d SITY, w[h]ih shuts out all idle impertinent persnz, as vagrants wit[h] t[h]eir extravagancies out o’ t[h]’ Gates.
H is vain, in Ghost, Sc[h]olar, not in Churh, but c is, t[h]erefore it deserves to be turn’d out of doors, for loosing its good name, [h]aving work enoug[h] to live of its trade, and is an Interlooper, sounding one t[h]ing by its self, anot[h]er in word-spelling, that she ma not be [h]onest by [h]er self, and a knave in company.
L in will, bell, mall, full, and t[h]ousands more.
M in gemm, stem, &c.
N in Henry and proper names, as Normanton, Rependon, Donington. T[h]e former n is un[h]eard.
P in receipt, not except, and mig[h]t as well be left out, as in deceit, conceit, of t[h]e same sin, so empty temptation.
S in isle, island, ass, as is uz, s single is as
T in whitsunday, and watch, catch, clutch.
U is turn’d into EV, Coventry, Daventry, Oven for Couentry, Dauntry, Ouen, an eut; see Mr. Dugdal.
