Which is vppon the consideration of the seuerall voices of the speach, and the vse of their seuerall markes for them, which we cal letters. But in the moderne & present maner of writing ( as well of certaine other languages as of our English) there is such confusion and disorder, as it may be accounted rather a kinde of ciphring, or such a darke kinde of writing, as the best and readiest wit that euer hath bene, could, or that is or shalbe, can or may, by the only gift of reason, attaine to the ready and perfite reading thereof, without a long and tedious labour, for that it is unfit and wrong shapen for the proportion of the voice. Whereas the new maner hereafter ( thoughe it seeme at the first very straunge, hard and vnprofitable) by the reading only therof, will proue it selfe fit, easie and delectable, and that for whatsoeuer English may be written in that order.

Which is upon the consideration of the several voices of the speech, and the use of their several marks for them, which we call letters. But in the modern and present manner of writing ( as well of certain other languages as of our English) there is such confusion and disorder, as it may be accounted rather a kind of ciphring, or such a dark kind of writing, as the best and cleverest brain that has ever been, could, or that is or shall be, can or may, by the only gift of reason, attained to the ready and perfect reading thereof, without a long and tedious labour, for that it is unfit and wrong shaped for the proportion of the voice. Whereas the new manner hereafter ( thought it seems at the first very strange, hard and unprofitable) by the reading only thereof, will prove itself fit, easy and delectable, and that for whatsoever English may be written in that order.
