Note that C. before A. O. and V. is euer pronounced as K. in English: which the Italians neuer vse, as in these wordes. Cása, Cásta, Cóllo, Cósa, Cúlla, Custóde, &c. Whereas before E. and I. it is euer pronounced as Ch in English, as in these wordes, Celẻste, Cẻlebre, Cíbo, Cínto, as you doe in these English wordes, Cheape, Cheries, Children, Cheese, and such.
Note that whensoeuer C. is double before A. O. and V. it is euer pronounced as double K. in English, as Accasáre, Accadére, Accomodáre, Accostáre, Accumuláre, Accusáre, &c. whereas if it come double before E. and I. as in these wordes Eccẻdere, Eccellẻnte, Accióche, Vccídere, Vccisióne, you must pronounce the first C. as a T. as if they were written, Etcẻdere, Etcellẻnte, Atcióche, Vtcídere, Vtcisióne, &c.
Note that Ch. is at all times, and in all Italian wordes pronounced as the letter K. in English, as in these wordes, Chè, Chénte, Chì, Chiúnque, euen as you doe in these English wordes, Kettle, Kent, Keeper, Kindred, &c.
Note that the rule giuen for C. may also serue for the letter G. for before A. O. and V. it is pronounced as in English, as Gámba, Góndola, Gúglia, &c. as Gad, God, Good: whereas before E. and I. it is pronounced as the I. being a consonant in English wordes, as Gentíle, Ginócchio, &c. and Ghe. in Italian is pronounced as Gue. or Gui. in English, as Ghermíre, Ghirlánda, as in these wordes, Gealding, Guilt, &c. and if G. be double before A. O. and V. pronounce it as you doe in English, but being double before E. or I. as in these wordes, Lẻggere, Leggiéro, Lóggia, Loggiáre. You must pronounce the first G. as it were a D. euen as you doe in these English wordes, Hedge, Pledge, Dredge, Madge, Lodge, Drudge, &c.
For so much as the Italians haue two very different sounds for the two vowels, E. and O. which for distinctions sake, they name the one close and the other open, and that I neuer yet saw booke printed with their differences but one, which was the Familiar letters of that learned man Claudio Tolomẻi, and that no rule hath yet beene giuen in so many of their tedious Grammars for the helpe of the learner, or for the right vse of them; to ease him, and teach him to avoide the many errors that diuers commit (namely my countrey men the English) in not giuing them their right sounds, I haue thought it most convenient to say something of them.
Note then that throughout all my Dictionarie I haue caused two seuerall E. and two different O. to be cast and vsed, whereby the reader and learner may assuredly know how to pronounce them right, and giue them their proper and due sounds.
