they be synguler nombre, as these wordes and such lyke
worde fyste write a lefe

whiche be all synguler nombres: and if ye do adde a _z_, at the latter

worde hath a _p_, or _b_, in the myddes endyng the syllable, ye shall
leaue them unsounde, as in these wordes and

dewtie dette to write

But whan they do begyn the worde or the syllable, than shall they be
