AVIS DE L'ÉDITEUR.
L'auteur de cette Grammaire ayant apporté un soin extrême à marquer la prononciation pár l'accent, on a dû s'attacher à reproduire scrupuleusement les accents du texte original.
Mais il faut savoir que Du Guez, par un système particulier, emploie l'accent placé sous la voyelle. Nous avons reporté l'accent au-dessus, conformément à l'usage moderne.
Cette substitution a d'autant moins d'inconvénient, que nulle part Du Guez n'emploie l'accent supérieur; par conséquent, il n'y a point de confusion à craindre. C'est un très-petit détail dont il suffit que le lecteur soit averti.

choses. Sincopation nest aultre chose quabreuiacion de prolixite, et prolixite
is superfluitie of wordes in declarying a thyng. Wherfore in all

HERE FOLOWETH THE FYRST BOKE OF SEVYN RULES FOR TO REDE
AND TO PRONOUNCE FRENCHE TREWLY.
THE FYRST
is howe the fyve vowels, that is to saye a, e, i, o, and v, shalbe sounded in redyng french.
Ye shal pronounce your a, as wyde open mouthed as ye can; your e, as ye do in latyn, almost as brode as ye pronounce your a in englysshe; your i, as sharpe as can be; o, as ye do in englyssh, and v after the Skottes, as in this worde gud. These fyve uowels be consonantes when they receyve nat their full sounde, as in this worde jamais the fyrst a is a uowell, and the seconde is a consonant.
Example of e, as déité and magesté, where bothe ees of deite be uowels, and the fyrst of magesté is a consonant and the seconde is a uowell. Wherfore ye shall understande that the moste parte of ees in french be consonantes, save fewe with suche wordes as come out of latyn. Example of consonantes
me, the, hym, that, of, the, do, to say, to put, oure, your,
me, te, se, que, de, le, faire, dire, mectre, nostre, vostre,
me, te, se, que, de, le, faire, dire, mectre, nostre, vostre,
wher is never a uowel. All the
ees
that shalbe uowels in this present boke shalbe
marked as the dyptong is in latyn, thus
é
.
THE SECONDE RULE.
Also in redyng frenche ye shall leave the last letter of every worde unsounde, endyng in s, t, and p, save of the same worde wherupon ye do pause or rest, for if ye do pronounce every worde by hymselfe, that is to say, restyng upon the same, ye ought for to pronounce and sounde him thorowe. And if any word endyng with an s, have the next worde folowyng begynning with a uowell, than shall ye sounde the said s, lyke a z, as in these wordes jamais aultres ye shal rede jamaiz aultre (never others) , as it were but one worde, but if the next worde commyng after the s be a consonant, than shall the said s remayne unsounde, as in these wordes jamais narés, (never shall ye have) the s of jamais shall nat be sounde. Provyded alwayes, as is sayde before, that ye do nat pause nor rest upon the worde, for so doyng ye must sounde it parfitely.
Page 900
THE THYRDE RULE.
Whan one worde doth ende with a uowell, and the next folowyng after begyn with another, than the fyrste shalbe unsounde, as in these wordes, but in you have que en uous, ye shall rede quen uous, and
I me have I the have I him have
je me ay, je te ay, je le ay,
ye shall rede je may, je tay, je lay,
je me ay, je te ay, je le ay,
ye shall rede je may, je tay, je lay,
and so of all suche lyke, excepte some wordes whiche be nat used in Fraunce, as tu as, thou hast. Where bothe uowels must be sounde, howbeit the Picardes sounde it after the sayd rule, sayeng tas for tu as, tes for tu es, thou arte. And if ye fynde two ees endynge and begynnynge a worde, ye shall leave the tone, as in these wordes,
it is with the well
il te est bien,
ye shall rede il test bien.
il te est bien,
ye shall rede il test bien.
And of e, and a, as in these wordes que a, but te, ye shall rede qua. Of e, and o, as in these wordes, que on, but one, ye shal rede quon. Of a and o, as in these wordes, pourra on, may one, ye shall rede pourran. And in lyke maner of all other of that termynation.
THE FOURTH RULE.
An s, in the begynnynge of a worde hath his full sounde, as dothe appere by these wordes folowyng,
wyse, wylde
sage, sauuage, sapient, etc.
sage, sauuage, sapient, etc.
but in the myddes beynge eyther before a consonant or a uowell, shall be sounded lyke a z, as in these wordes
I sayde I dyd I brake I holde peace.
disoie, faisoie, brisoie, taisoie, etc.
disoie, faisoie, brisoie, taisoie, etc.
THE FYFTH RULE.
