Cap. XXIIII.
The vse of the generall table.




AS I promised before, so now I will knit vp this argument 
of right writing with a generall table, wherein I haue 
gathered the most of those words, which we common­
lie vse in our hole speche. Which table I take to be verie proper 
to this purpos, and vpon sundrie causes. First for the confir­
ming of my rules, with multitude of examples, which I proued 
with som few naie oft with som one, when I set them first 
down: a thing both plane, to enstruct a reader, & also pithie, to 
enforce a rule by vertew of number.

Secondlie, for the perfiting of proportion, a great officer in di­
recting the pen, as being chefe marshall to set words in araie, 
according to their sounds. Which sounds bewraing themselues 
best in the last syllabs, as being therefor best hard, bycause theie 
ar last said, recommend themselues therein to the rule of propor­
tion, tho not without both nede, and hope of further help, for 
the first and midle syllabs, to haue their proportion thereby full 
and sutable in all. Which help this table promiseth, as precise­
lie examining the beginning of words by order of the letter, as 
proportion sought out the ending thereof, by likenesse in sound. 
Which two syllabs, the first and last being certainlie known, if 
there be mo, then all be known . But if there be mo, where 
the extremities be certain, the midle maie be sene.

Thirdlie the enfranchised words, which we borow of the fo­
ren, being a great parcell of our ordinarie speche, bycause we 
deal so much with such matters, as enforce vs thereunto, while 
we vtter that which we learn, as theie do of whom we learn, not 
hauing of our selues to expresse that in speche, which we haue 
but of others to execute in dede: such a generall table is a con­
uenient gide to deliuer them to our eies. Wherewith to cloie 
the rule of enfranchisment, where som few maie serue by waie 
of example, were either to duble them, if theie be in both, or to 
lame the table if theie be but in the rule: both great ouersights. 
Wherefor contenting the rule with sufficient number, to make 
it plane, I haue vsed the table for a common treasurie where to 
laie vp all.

Fourthlie the affinitie betwene the rule, which examineth the 
generall direction by particular proufs & the particular proufs, 
which range themselues in order, by generall direction, is so near



& so great, as it cannot otherwise be, but that manie things will 
fall out in examining the table, which proues by particular, 
whereby the rules shalbe helpt: besides their confirming in na­
tur of example: as the rules themselues, which direct in generall 
do offer that assurance, whereby the table shalbe staied, besides 
the sorting of particular words, into proportionat ranks.

Fiftlie and last, the generall table is a mean to help ignorance, 
and a waie to ease cunning. For the ignorant man, which can­
not iudge of sounds by finenesse of his ear, will soon discern 
forms by sharpnesse of his eie & quicklie finde out the vse of a 
table, tho he seldom fele the sense of a rule. And the skilfull man 
also, which can iudge of a rule, if he haue time to read it, in want 
of leisure to read, maie haue recourse to his table, and so satisfy 
the sudain, till conuenient time will giue him leaue to studie. 
The table therefor being a thing of such commoditie, to con­
firm rules, to perfit proportion, to discouer enfranchisments, to 
supply all wants, to help ignorance, and to ease knowledge: 
I haue so framed it, I hope, both for store of words, and choice 
of notes, as it shall perform all this, whereunto it is said to be so 
profitable.

For the words, which concern the substance thereof: I haue 
gathered togither so manie of them both enfranchised and na­
turall, as maie easilie direct our generall writing, either by­
cause theie be the verie most of those words which we com­
monlie vse, or bycause all other, whether not here expressed or 
not yet inuented, will conform themselues, to the presidencie of 
these. If my leisur wold haue serued, I wold haue sought out 
mo, but these maie seme enough, which both serue the thing, & 
discharge me. Who entending at the first to deal no lower, then 
the entrie to speche, vpon great occasion haue bene forced further 
to deuise an Elementarie, a thing as different from my first pur­
pos, as it is verie pertinent to the common profit.

For the notes, besides the beginning letter, which I haue cu­
riouslie obserued, both to find out most words by that kinde of 
method, and withall to perform that, which is required in a ta­
ble, to direct him that sekes by order of the letter, I haue had 
speciall regard to mine own rules, that both table & rule agrë­
ing in one, my labour thereby maie sooner win allowance.



Therefor when soeuer anie great cause of note doth offer it 
self, either in accent for distinction, or in change for propor­
tion, or in strangenesse for deriuation, or in writing for enfran­
chisment, or in propertie for custom, either in penning or pro­
nouncing, bycause it reigneth in both : the accents ar set o­
uer the consonants or vowells, which require distinction: the 
changing of proportion, the strangenesse of deriuation, the pro­
pertie of custom is presentlie noted: and the enfranchised words 
be first set down in their naked and naturall colors, and after 
writen so as our cuntrie doth clothe them, and our custom doth 
allow them.

This haue I don, and thus, which whether it be the right waie, 
to direct our writing or no: that I leaue to other mens iudge­
ment, contenting my self with these two reasons. First bycause 
I se those writers, which haue trauelled in other tungs, for the 
right writing thereof, whose labor also hath taken good ef­
fect, and euen at this daie doth gide all our studies, bycause 
their successe proueth the rightnesse of their waie, to haue 
cut this same course, and by examining ech syllab to haue 
certained all, not by rasing new characts, but by ruling old 
custom.

Second, bycause he which quite altereth the natur of such 
a thing, as is said to be corrupted, doth not amend the old falt 
but tendereth vs a new substance, as subiect to blame, as the 
former was, naie oftimes more, the deformitie thereof appear­
ing in the face, and the infirmitie thereof not able to bear age, 
as the other did, in whose roum it cummeth. Whereas in dede 
in such a case, where the substance maie remain, tho som er­
ror be stript, a good director will first sift the certain right from 
the supposed wrong, and in ruling them both call custom 
to counsell, from whom the right came, as all men know, 
and by whom the wrong must be helpt, as theie that mark, 
maie se.

But not to tary long in a matter so plane, and so examined 
before, this is most trew, that long and waking custom, in the 
matter of speche, wherein she commandeth without vsurpa­
tion, wherein she hath propertie without intrusion, and where­
in she deals not without consideration, of force must haue hir



imperiall voyce, when the question is, what currant were best, 
for directing of the pen. For that is no correction which wasteth 
the substance, but that washeth the accidents, and that in such 
sort, as the cuntrie custom will best admit, vpon former ac­
quaintance.

Thus much haue I don for the right writing of our English 
tung, desiring my cuntriemen to think well of my labor, and 
themselues to trauell in furnishing out the rest, which I can­
not deal with, if theie like of that which I haue hitherto don: 
if not, I wold be glad to be directed my self by som president 
of another, which shall taste of iudgement.

Mine own course doth carie me quite another waie, from 
medling with such things, as this argument is: & yet not altogi­
ther so, but that where good cause shall offer occasion, and fit 
circumstance shalbe answerable to such cause, I wilbe verie 
redie to pleasur mine own cuntrie, to the vtmost of my power, 
yea euen in the middest of anie foren learning: Tho my drift 
be such, as I maie sooner minister occasion of much matter 
to such as will dwell vpon particular discourse, then my self 
digresse from that plat, which is alredie laied, being more then 
enough, to occupy anie one.

It were a thing verie praiseworthie in my opinion, and 
no lesse profitable then praise worthie, if som one well lear­
ned and as laborious a man, wold gather all the words 
which we vse in our English tung, whether naturall or in­
corporate, out of all professions, as well learned as not, in­
to one dictionarie, and besides the right writing, which is in­
cident to the Alphabete, wold open vnto vs therein, both 
their naturall force, and their proper vse : that by his honest 
trauell we might be as able to iudge of our own tung, which 
we haue by rote, as we ar of others, which we learn by 
rule. The want whereof, is the onelie cause why, that 
verie manie men, being excellentlie well learned in foren 
speche, can hardlie discern what theie haue at home, still 
shooting fair, but oft missing far, hard censors ouer o­
ther, ill executors themselues. For easie obtaining is e­
nemie to iudgement, not onelie in words, and naturall 
speche, but in greater matters, and verie important. Aduised &



considerat cumming by, as it proues by those tungs, which we 
learn by Art, where time and trauell be the compaassing means, 
emplanteth in wits, both certaintie to rest on, & assurance to rise 
by. Our naturall tung cummeth on vs by hudle, and therefor 
hedelesse, foren language is labored, and therefor learned, the 
one still in vse and neuer will known, the other well known and 
verie seldom vsed. And yet continewall vse should enfer know­
ledge, in a thing of such vse, as the naturall deliuerie of our 
minde and meaning is. And to saie the truth what reason is it, 
to be acquainted abrode, and a stranger at home? to know fo­
ren tungs by rule, and our own but by rote? If all other men had 
ben so affected, to make much of the foren, and set light by 
their own, as we seme to do, we had neuer had these things, 
which we like of so much, we should neuer by comparing haue 
discerned the better. Theie proined their own speche, both to 
please themselues, and to set vs on edge: and why maie not we 
by following of their presidents be partakers of their praise? 
considering the thing which we ar to deal in, of it self is so good, 
& the presidents, which to follow, to be so manie & so plane: as 
we can neither alledge anie want for direction, ne yet basenesse 
of argument, to diliuer vs from trauell. For the matter of speche 
is a thing well thought of, whether ye waie the words and the 
forces which theie haue, or the vttering thereof by pen & voyce. 
Naturall nede vpon mere vse, commendeth the voyce, delite in 
mere vse commendeth fair speaking. And voluntarie nede vp­
on more vse commendeth the pen, delite in more vse commen­
deth fair writing. Which both ar so well estemed of, as there 
be particular Arts, verie cunninglie deuised to beautify them 
both. We nede not to proue by Platoes Cratylus, or Aristotles
proposition as by best autorities, (tho men be sufficient to proue 
their own inuentions) that words be voluntarie, and appointed 
vpon cause, seing we haue better warrant. For euen God him­
self, who brought the creatures, which he had made, vnto that 
first man, whom he had also made, that he might name them, 
according to their properties, doth planelie declare by his so 
doing, what a cunning thing it is to giue right names, and how 
necessarie it is, to know their forces, which he allredie giuen, 
bycause the word being knowen, which implyeth the proper­



tie the thing is half known, whose propertie is emplyed. There­
for the argument of words, speche, & pen being so necessarie, & 
the trauelling in them being no lesse commendable, he that will 
deal in that which I haue said, shall both help nede in others, 
& heap praise to himself, & yet do nothing without manifold 
president. For among the Hebrewes, Ionas, Iudas, Kimchi, among 
the Grekes, Eustathius, Fauorine, Pollux, among the Latins, Mar­
cus Varro, Nonius Marcellus, Festus Pompeius, tho not these a­
lone, nor in these tungs alone, endeuored themselues to do that 
in their tungs, which I wish for in ours, expounding their own 
words by their own language. The Italian, the Frenche, the 
Spanish, at this daie vse the like: naie theie go further, and make 
particular dictionaries euen to particular books, as Iohn Boccace 
alone hath a dictionarie for himself in the Italian tung. Now if 
such like English wits, in whom both learning and labor do 
concur, wold do so much for our tung, as these and the like 
haue don for theirs, naie as euen learners haue don, for those 
same tungs, which theie haue gained by labor, as Stephanus, Pe­
rot, Calepine, for the latin and others for other: we should then 
know what we both write and speak: we should then dis­
cern the depth of their conceits, which either coined our own 
words, or incorporated the foren. Whereas at this daie: we be 
skillfull abrode and ignorant at home, wondring at others not 
waing our own. Thus much at this time concerning these things, 
now must I to my table.

FINIS.
 






CAP XXVI.
The conclusion of this treatis concerning the right writing of
our English tung.

THis is that, which I had to saie concerning the right wri­
ting of our English tung, both for the rules, which I haue 
obserued in dailie experience, and for the table, which I 
haue collected to confirm that experience. As for the right of 
my rules, I maie not take vpon me anie more certaintie, then 
the naturall force of such probable directions doth ordinarilie 
infer, which is to hold commonlie trew, and euer most likelie, 
from which probabilitie I wander not far, if my self maie be 
iudge. As for the table I sought in it, to write all the words ge­
nerallie after an English ear, neuer yeilding much to anie 
foren letter sauing onelie where som pretie occasion recommended 
vnto me, the duble writing of both the naturall English & the 
incorporate stranger. And yet I haue diligentlie examined the 
originall grounds of our enfranchised terms, which be one third 
part of our hole speche, tho I hold altogeather with our own 
writing, & follow not their primitiue. For if the word it self be 
english in dede, then is it best in the natural hew, if it be a stranger, 
& incorporate among vs, let it wear our colors, sith it wilbe one 
of vs. In both the rules & table, I haue rather sought, by such an 
induction to stir vp som other to perform the enterprise, then ho­
ped my self to leaue it complet. For it maie so fall out, that I haue 
hit vpon som truth, tho not vpon all, & again it maie so be, that I 
haue missed quite, & cut a wrong course, & yet by so doing, that 
I haue opened a waie vnto som other, by giuing such a light, 
either to amend my course if it like in part, or to shape a better 
by it, if it hollie mislike. Further, in both I haue bene verie care­
full neuer to depart from the custom of my cuntrie, bycause I de­
sire either to please with liking, or to mislike without displea­
sing. For where ane ordinarie custom doth seme of long time 
to haue made hir own choice, and that vpon good shew, she 
will either like him that cleaues to hir allowance, or not 
be displeased, where hir self is not misliked. And if there 
be anie hope to procure liking in such a thing as custom is 
to rule, it must nedes com by following, and not by for­
cing. He enforceth, which quite altereth the common cur­



rant allredie admitted in generall vse, both of ordinarie letter, 
and customarie writing, he foloweth, which marketh that 
waie wherein custom is most conuersant, and pleaseth it self 
best vpon likeliest presumptions:and withall obserueth where­
in anie error intruding vpon custom, by ignorant hands, maie be 
easilie stript, and yet custom left clean to hir allowed direction. 
This following of custom, with considerate obseruing is a case 
of great hope, that the thing maie like, which is so laid down, 
bycause in like attempts it hath allwaie taken place, and be­
wraid hir successe by winning hir desire. Enforcing to the con­
trarie, or altering to far is almost desperate, if not altogither, 
bycause it hath alwaie mist, with losse of labor where it offered 
seruice. What my self haue won, by desiring to follow the cu­
stom of my cuntrie, & no where to enforce it, it must appear in 
time, which while it do, I must craue relefe of curteous constru­
ction, & submit my self to iudgement of those which can discern.
