CHAP. X. Of characters that resemble others. (Book 10)

THe same character sometimes stan∣deth for two things: as for exam∣ple, there is the same for

ture and Christ
〈☐…〉〈☐…〉
ternll and which
〈☐…〉〈☐…〉
mess and what
〈☐…〉〈☐…〉
&c. which is no hinderance (but a help) in the learning this Art, considering how easily they may be differenced. When any of these marks stand alone by them∣selves, they are for whole words: when they are joyned with other markes or letters, they are but a part; as for exam∣ple, this marke [〈☐…〉〈☐…〉] when it is written alone, standeth for which; when it is joyned with other letters, it is ternall, a part of a word; and so of the rest: and by remembring the one, the other is ea∣sily called to minde.
