convenient letteres, and consistes of ane or moe.

2. A syllab of ane letter is symbolized with a voual onelie; as, a in
able, e in ever, i in idle, o in over, u in unitie, for a consonant can
make no syllab alane.

3. A syllab of moe letteres is made of vouales onelie, or els of vouales
and consonantes. Of onlie vouales the syllab is called a diphthong, of
quhilk we have spoaken in the vouales quherof they ar composed.

4. A syllab of vouales and consonantes either begin_n_es at the
voual, as al, il, el; or at one consona_n_t, as tal man; or at tuo
consona_n_tes, as stand, sleep; or els at thre at the maest, as strand,
stryp. It endes either at a voual, as fa, fo; or at one consonant, as
ar, er; or at tuo, as best, dart; or at thre at the maest, as durst,
worst.

5. Heer is to be noated, that in divyding syllabes, the consonantes, one
or moe, that may begin a syllab anie way in the middes of a word belong
to the voual following, as in que-stion, qua-rel, fi-shar, sa-fron,
ba-stard, de-scrib, re-scue.

6. It is alsoe heer to be observed in printing and wryting, that quhen a
word fales to be divyded at the end of a lyne, that the partition must
be made at the end of a syllab, soe that the one lyne end at the end of
the whol syllab, and the other begin the next lyne. As, for exemple, if
this word magistrat fel to be divided at the first syllab, it behoved to
be ma-gistrat; if at the second, it behoved to be magi-strat; but no
wayes to parte the m from the a, nor the g from the i, nor the s from t,
nor the t from r.
