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_,

never others

as in these wordes _jamais aultres_ ye shal rede _jamaiz aultre_, 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 nares_, (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.
