Let the Teacher be very careful that the Scholar ••e perfect in Spelling the foregoing Examples; it will likewise be necessary that he be well acquainted with the double Consonants for the beginning of words, as in the two last Chapters, viz. bl br ••l ••r &c. for it will be of great advantage to him when he comes to divide the Syllables in the Tenth and Eleventh Chapters following.
Let him likewise be made very perfect in the sound of the Diph∣thongs in the following Chapter; for whatsoever is to be learnt af∣terwards will mostly depend upon the knowledge of this and the foregoing Chapters.
