The close E. hath euer this forme, e. and is pronouced as the English E. or Ea. as in these wordes, Bell, Beane, Den, Deane, Fell, Flea, Meade, Quell, Sell, Tell, &c. and the open E. hath this forme ẻ which is euer pronounced as Ai. in English, as in these words Baile, Baine, Daine, Faile, Flaile, Maide, Quaile, Saile, Taile, &c.
The close E. is seene in these Italian wordes, Béne, Béuere, Sedére, Tenére, Vedére, and infinite others, and the open E. in these, Bẻllo, Bẻstia, Sẻlla, Sẻdia, Tẻsta, Tẻrra, Vẻrro, Vẻste, &c.
So likewise to the close O. I haue throughout my booke giuen this oualle forme O. and to the open this round forme O. The first, close or oualle is euer pronounced as the English single V. in these wordes, Bun, Dug, Flud, Gud, Rud, Stun, Tun, &c. whereas the other round or open is euer pronounced as our O. in these wordes, Bone, Dog, Flow, God, Rod, Stone, Tone, &c. as for example in these Italian wordes, Io honóro il mío Dío cón ógni diuotióne, where euery O. is close and oualle. And in these, lúi mi vuóle tórre la mia tórre; or else, lúi mi hà rósa la mia rósa: where Tórre with an open or round O. is a verbe and signifieth to take, and tórre with a close or oualle O. is a noune substantiue, and signifieth a tower; and Rósa with an oualle and close O. is a participle of the verbe Ródere, and signifieth Gnawne or Nibled, and Rósa with a round or open O. is a noune substantiue, and signifieth the floure that we call a Rose.
I could with many amplifications insist vpon these two letters, but because I desire to shunne prolixity, and addresse mine endeauours to reasonable creatures, and no Critikes, I thinke this sufficient, & for a triall referre them to my Dictionarie, where they may perceiue euery word truly accented, which was yet neuer seen in any printed booke of what language soeuer, and which was only done for her sacred Maiestie, whom alone next to God I desire to serue and satisfie, which if shee be, I haue my desire, I aime no further, and care not for the vulgar.
Note that I. is neuer consonant in the Italian tongue, but euer a vowell, and is commonly pronounced as double Ee. in English, as in these words, Biánco, Gridáre, Gíro, Líbro, Mirácolo, Nído, Siréna, Tíro, Vilúppo, &c. as you doe in these English words, Bee, Creeke, Greene, Lee, Neede, Meede, Queene, Seene, Speede, Reede, Seede, Tree, Weede, &c.
Note that Sce, and Sci, as in these Italian wordes Scẻmpio, Sceleráto, Scilinguáto, Scimoníto, &c. are euer pronounced as you doe Sh. in these English words, Shame, Shent, Sheepe, Ship, &c.
Note that V. in the beginning, and sometimes in the middle of words, namely another vowell following the same, is euen a consonant, as in Vário, Vedére, Veníre, Antiuedére, Preueníre, &c. but being a vowell, as in these words, Cúra, Furóre, Manducáre, Natúra, Púto, Rúta, &c. it is commonly pronounced as double Oo. in English, as in these words, Foode, Moode, Good, Moote, Roode, Stoode, Wood, &c.
