Note also, That there are some other corruptions in the pronouncing of several words by many of the citizens themselves, that were at first perhaps owing to a silly affectation, because it makes the words longer than really they :ce : such as yours for yours, ourn for ours, ¿helm for theirs, gould for gold, cold .e old, bnoshop for bishop; squelch for quench, squeedge for squeeze, smudge for crowd, yerb for herb; which I have not thought worthy of a place in thiscatalogue, as well as others that must be ascribed tomere ignorance, many of which I bava here described, for the instruction of those who know not how to spell them.
