said the same cap., sect. 5. As for quho, besydes that it differres from quo onelie be aspiration, and that w, being noe perfect consonant, can not be aspirated, I appele to al judiciouse eares, to q_uhi_lk Cicero attributed mikle, quhither the aspiration in quho be not ex imo gutture, and therfoer not labial. OF RULES FROM THE LATIN. Cap. 7. (_sic._) 1. Heer, seeing we borrow mikle from the latin, it is reason that we either follow them in symbolizing their's, or deduce from them the groundes of our orthographie. 2. Imprimis, then, quhatever we derive from them written with c we sould alsoe wryte with c, howbeit it sound as an s to the ignorant; as conceave, receave, perceave, from concipio, recipio, percipio; concern, discern, from concerno, discerno; accesse, successe, recesse, from accedo, succedo, recedo, w_i_th manie moe, q_uhi_lk I com_m_end to the attention of the wryter. 3. Also quhat they wryte w_i_th s we sould alsoe wryte with s; as servant, from servus; sense, from sensus; session from sessio; passion, from passio. 4. Neither is the c joined w_i_th s here to be omitted; as science and conscience, from scientia, conscientia; ascend and descend, from ascendo, descendo; rescind and abscind, from rescindo and abscindo. 4 (_sic_). This difference of c and s is the more attentivelie to be marked for that wordes of one sound and diverse signification are many tymes distinguished be these symboles; as, the kinges secrete council, and the faithful counsil of a frende; concent in musik, and consent of myndes; to duel in a cel, and to sel a horse; a decent weed, and descent of a noble house. These tuo last differres alsoe in accent. 5. Lykwayes, that we derive from latin verbales in tio, sould also be wrytten with t; as oration, visitation, education, vocation, proclamation, admonition, _et_c. 6. Wordes deryved from the latin in tia and tium we wryte with ce; as justice, from justitia; intelligence, from intelligentia; vice, from vitium; service, from servitium. In al q_uhi_lk, houbeit the e behind the c be idle, yet use hes made it tollerable to noat the breaking of the c, for al tongues bear with sum slippes that can not abyde the tuich stone of true orthographie. 7. C is alsoe written in our wordes deryved from x in latin; as peace, from pax; fornace, from fornax; matrice, from matrix; nurice, from nutrix, q_uhi_lk the south calles nurse, not without a falt both in sound and symbol;
