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.
