The spelling of the phrase "wert inclined think" may seem odd to those unfamiliar with Early Modern English. However, the spelling reflects the pronunciation of the time. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be written as /wɜrt ɪnˈklaɪnd θɪŋk/. The "wert" represents the second person singular past tense form of "be," and the pronunciation of "inclined" had a clearer "k" sound at the end. The spelling of English has evolved over time, making older texts sometimes difficult to read for contemporary readers.
