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.

Chap. 18. The Learner being perfect in Spelling the Examples contained in the several Tables of the foregoing Chapters, let him now learn to read and say by heart the Lords Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Com∣mandments, as follow.
The LORD'S PRAYER.
OUR Father which art in Heaven. Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on ••rth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily Bread. And forgive us our Trespasses, as we forgive them that tres∣pass against us. And lead us not into Temptation, but deliver us from Evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the glory for Ever and Ever.
Amen.
The CREED.
I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Faith: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was Conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary 〈◊〉〈◊〉 under Pontius Pilate, was Crucified, Dead and Buried he descended into Hell; the third day he rose again from the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, he ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Judge both the Quick and the Dead I Believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholick Church; the Communion of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Forgiveness of Sins: the Resurrection of the Body, and the Life Everlasting.
Amen.
The Ten COMMANDMENTS.
GOD spake these words and said, I am the Lord thy 〈◊〉〈◊〉 which brought thee out of the Land of Egypt, out of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 House of Bondage.
I. Thou shalt have no other Gods but me.
Page 67
II. Thou shalt 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to thy self any Graven Image, nor the Likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above, or in the Earth beneath, or in the Waters under the Earth; Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them, for I the Lord thy God am a Jealous God, visiting the Sins of the Fathers upon the Children, unto the Third and Fourth Generation of them that hate me, and shew Mercy un••o Thousands of them that love me, and keep my Commandments
III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain.
IV. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day; six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt do no manner of Work, thou, and thy Son, and thy Daughter, thy Man-servant, and thy Maid servant, thy Cat∣tel, and the Stranger that is within thy Gates. For in six days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day and hallowed it.
V. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, that thy days may be long in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
VI. Thou shalt do no Murther.
VII. Thou shalt not commit Adultery.
VIII. Thou shalt not Steal.
IX. Thou shalt not bear False Witness against thy Neigh∣bour.
X. Thou shalt not Covet thy Neighbours House, thou shalt not Covet thy Neighbours Wife, nor his Servant; nor his Maid, nor his Ox, nor his Ass, nor any thing that is his.

Chap. 20. Directions for a Childs Behaviour at all Times and Places.
FIrst in the Morning when thou dost awake
To God for his Grace thy Petition make,
Some Heavenly Prayer use daily to sa••▪
And the God of Heaven will 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
Page 71
And when ••ou hast prayed to God for his Grace,
Observe these Directions in every place.
Down from thy Chamber when as thou shalt go,
Thy Parents salute and the Houshold also.
Thy Hands see thou wash, thy Head also comb,
Keep clean thy Apparel both abroad and at home.
This done, thy Satchel, and thy Books take,
And unto the School see that thou haste make.
In thy going to School.
IN going your way and passing the Street,
Thy Hat being off, Salute those you meet.
When unto the School that thou dost resort,
Thy Master Salute I do thee exhort:
Thy Fellows also in token of Love,
Lest of unkindness they do thee reprove.
Learn now in thy Youth for it is too true,
It will be too late when Age doth ensue.
If somewhat thou doubt, desire to be told,
To learn is no shame, be thou never so old.
And when from the School thou takest the way,
Make haste to thy home, and stay not to play.
Then entring the House in Parents presence,
Them humbly Salute with due Reverence.
At the Table.
WHen down to the Table thy Parents shall sit,
Be ready in place for purpose most fit.
Be meek in thy Carriage, stare none in the Face,
First hold up thy Hands, and then say thy Grace.
The Grace being said if able thou be,
To serve at the Table it will become thee.
If thou canst not wait presume in no case,
But in sitting down to Betters give place.
Then suffer each Man first served to. be,
For it is a point of great Courtesie.
Thy Tongue suffer not at Table to walk,
And do not of any thing jangle or talk;
For Cato doth say that in old and young,
The first step to Vertue is bridling the Tongue.
Page 72
In the Church.
VVHen unto the Church thou shalt take the way▪
Kneeling or standing to God humbly pray.
A Heart that is Contrite he will not despise,
But doth account it a sweet Sacrifice.
Unto him thy Sins see that thou confess,
For them asking pardon and forgiveness.
Then ask thou in Faith not doubting to have,
And thou shalt receive what e're thou dost crave.
He is fuller of Mercy than Tongue can express,
The Author and Giver of Grace and Goodness.
Thy self in the Church most comely behave,
Sober in Carriage, with Countenance grave.
The Lord doth it call the House of Prayer,
And must not be used like Market or Fair.

Chap. 23. Some few Examples of Gods Punishment upon Sinners for breach of the several Commandments.
OUR Duty towards God, is to beli•• in him, to fear him, and to love him with all our Hearts, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 our Minds, with all
Page 81
our Souls, and with all our strength; to worship him, and him only, to give him thanks, to put our whole tr••st in hi••, to call upon him, to honour his holy Name and his Word, and to serve him truely all the days of ••ur Lives.
Therefore is Atheism, the worshipping of false Gods▪ or the want of a true Knowledge, Faith, Fear, and Love of the true God a Breach of this Commandment.
Many Examples we have in Scripture of Gods vengeance upon those who have worshipped strange Gods.
Nadab and Abihu the Sons of Aaron for Offering strange Fire before the Lord in the Wilderness, contrary to his express Commandment, were miserably consumed by Fire from Hea∣ven, Lev. 10. 1, 2.
The Children of Israel being enticed by the Moabites, to offer Sacrifice to their Gods, joined themselves to Baal Peor, and therefore the anger of the Lord being kindled against them, their Princes were hanged, and twenty four Thousand Men were slain, amongst whom were Zimri and Cosbi, Numb 25. and many other Examples of the like Nature there are in Scripture.
Pherecydes a Philosopher boasted impudently amongst his Scholars, of his Prosperity, Learning and Wisdom, saying, That though he served not God, yet he led a more quiet and prosperous Life than those that were addicted to Religion, and therefore he passed not for any such Vanity, but soon after his Impiety was justly punished, for the Lord struck▪ him with such a strong Disease, that out of his Body issued such a slimy and filthy Sweat, and ingendred such a number of Lice and Worms, that his Bowels being consumed by them, he most miserably Died.
Idolatry the Breach of the Second Commandment.
AMongst the many Examples we have in Scripture of Gods punishment upon Sinners for Idolatrous worship take these two, viz.
About three Thousand of the Israelites were slain in the Wilderness for making to themselves, and Idolizing the Gol∣den Calf which Aaro•• made, Exod. 32.
Ahaziah the Son of Ahab King of Israel for serving and wor∣shipping of Baalzebub the God of Ekron was made an Example of Gods wrath, and died, according to the Word of the Lord by the Prophet Elijah, 2 Kings 1.
Many other such Examples there are in the Books of the Kings, and the Chronicles.
Page 82
For as a King will not suffer another to bear the Title in his Realm, so God will not permit any other in the World to be ho∣noured but himself only.
Per••ury the Breach of the Third Commandment.
THE Eternal God hath commanded that we should so bridle and govern our Tongue, that whatsoever we speak may be to his Honour and Glory, and not that we should rashly bind our selves by his most holy Name with Oaths and Exe∣crations, or abuse him by any other imp••ous means in va•• M••tters, for he hath threatned condign punishment to thos•• that sh••ll so prophane his most holy Name.
The Son of Shelomith the Israelitish Woman, when he had Blasphemed the Name of the Lord with Oaths and Curses, was by all the people, and by the immediate command of God stoned to death. Whosoever Curseth his God shall bear his sin, and he that Blasphemeth the Name of the Lord▪ he shall surely be put to death, and all the Congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as he that is Born in the Land, when he Blasphemeth the Name of the Lord, shall be put to death, Levit. 24. See Matth. 5. 33, &c.
A certain Nobleman being at a Market Town at play, and having lost a great Sum of Money, in great Passion commands his Servant to get the Horses ready in order to go out of Town, in the mean time bel••hing out most horrible and abominable Oaths, and Execrations, his Servant disswades him from go∣ing Home, telling him that it would be dangerous Travelling in the Night, because of the uncouthness of the way, and the dangerous Waters that they must pass by; but he fell into a greater Passion, Swearing and Cursing more and more, and commanded his Servant to be obedient to what he said, the Servant obeyeth, and having mounted their Horses, they de∣part the ••own, being in all three of them▪ they had not gone far, but a great Company of Horsemen being Hellish Appari∣tions, came to them, and making a most horrible noise seized upon the said Nobleman in the middle of them, and flung him violently from his Horse, being senseless, but there being with him (besides his Servant)▪ a young Man of very great Cou∣rage, relying upon God and the Integrity of his own good Conscience, run Couragiously into the midst of this Devilis•• Cavalry and rescued his Lord, setting him again upon his Horse, but having lost their way they wandred up and down all Night, and still as they rode along they could hear the troublesome noise of these Infernal Troopers, but God pre∣served
Page 83
the said young Man that they had no power to hurt him▪ and in the Morning they brought the Nobleman to a Monaste∣ry, where he languished three days and died.
Such is the end of those that prophane the Holy Name of God by horrible Oaths and Imprecations.
There was a Ten years Truce concluded between Ladislaus King of Hungary, and Amurath the Emperor of the Turks, which was confirmed by an Oath between them; but Ladislaus having a fair opportunity, by the Instigation of Pope Eugenius, breaks the League, thereby violating his Oath, and raiseth a great Army against Amurath, and with very great speed marches through Walachia, and Bulgaria, to a Town called Varna where Amurath met and engaged him, the Battel was very fierce and doubtful, none perceiving for a great while which way it would incline; at last Amurath finding the Battel like to go a∣gainst him▪ lift up his Hands and Eyes towards Heaven, and said, Behold O Iesus Christ! These are the Articles which thy Chri∣stians have made with me, Swearing by thy Name to observe and keep them, and by this their Perjury they deny thee to be their God, where∣fore if thou art a God as they say thou art, revenge this Injury done to me, and to thy Holy Name; and immediately the Scale turned, Amurath gained the Victory, Ladislaus is slain, and with him Eleven Thousand Christians.
Sabbath-breaking a Breach of the Fourth Command∣ment.
GOD has commanded to set apart a time for his more pub∣lick Worship, though our whole Life should be a serving of him, yet some time is requisite to be set apart, and ob∣served, for an unanimous, solemn, and publick serving, and this time must be a set time, and a seventh part of our time, which we call the Sabbath; and God has threatned vengeance to those that by their Impiety shall violate this his Holy Com∣mandment.
Verily, saith the Lord, my Sabhath ye shall keep, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your Generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifieth you.
Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you, every one that defileth it shall be surely put to death, for whosoever doth any Work therein, that Soul shall be cut off from amongst his people, Exod. 31. 13, 14.
A sad Example of Gods displeasure for the Breach of this Commandment we have in the fifteenth of Numbers, where an 〈◊〉〈◊〉 being found gathering of Sticks upon the Sabbath day▪
Page 84
was by the immediate Command of God stoned to Death by the people. The History of the Kings of Iudah and Israel contain many Examples of the Almighties Punishment upon those who have not feared, to contemn his Word, and to prophane his Holy Sabbath.
And the Histories of latter Times are not wanting in their Examples of Gods Punishment of Sabbath-breakers.
In the year of our Salvation 1553. in a City in Switzerland about three Miles distant from Lucerne, three Gamesters play∣ing at Dice upon a Bench in the Fields near the Walls of the City upon a Sabbath day, whereof one when he had lost a considerable Sum of Money, while he was yet provoking the Almighty with Oaths and Curses he chanced to have a fortu∣nate throw according to his wish, and being thereat incou∣raged, he Swore that if the Dice run against him again he would fling or strike his Dagger as far as he could into the ve∣ry Body of God. The Dice fail him, and forthwith he draws his Dagger, and taking it by the point he throws it with all his might towards Heaven; the Dagger vanished in the Air, and was never more seen, and five drops of Blood fell upon the Bench where they were playing, and immediately the Devil seized upon him, and carried him away with that violence and noise that it affrighted the whole City into a Tumult. The other two were extreamly affrighted, and endeavoured to wipe the Blood from off the Bench, but in vain, for the more they endeavoured to clean it, the more plain did the Purple Colour of the Blood appear; the whole City being filled with the noise of this Wickedness, and every own crowds towards the place, where they find the two Players that were left, endeavouring in vain to clean the Bench of the said five drops of Blood with Water; and being Examined, the Ma∣gistrates decree them to be immediately bound, and cast under the Walls of the City, and as they were carrying them through the Gate, one of them fell down, being deprived of Strength, and such a company of Worms and Lice came from him, that they devoured him, and he died in that very place, a foul and miserable Death; which the people seeing, without any more ado immediately destroyed the other. That part of the Bench whereon the Blood sell, was cut off, and remains to this day a Testimony and Monument of this great and abominable 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
Page 85
Disobedience to Parents a Breach of the Fifth Com∣mandment.
THIS is the first Commandment that hath a promise annexed to it, whereby the Eternal God promiseth to those that are obedient thereunto Benediction, Prosperity, and long Life. And the Scripture is very plentiful of Examples of Gods Punishments upon those that have been guilty of the Breach thereof.
Ham the youngest Son of Noah, seeing his Fathers Naked∣ness when he was overcome with Wine, called to his Brethren that were without and told them thereof▪ scoffing, and ma∣king a Laughing-stock of his Father, insulting over his Vice and Imbecility, for which he and his Posterity were accursed, and became a Servant of Servants to his Brethren, Gen. 9.
Absalom being in Rebellion against his Father King David, and pursued by his Fathers Servants, was taken from his Mule by the Boughs of an Oak under which he rode, and was hanged to Death, 2 Sam. 18. 9.
A poor and Ancient Man being grievously oppressed with Poverty, went to his Son who was very Opulent, and Weal∣thy, praying him not to despise his Poverty, but to relieve him in his great Necessity, but the Son thinking it would be a great disgrace to him, to have it publickly known that he was de∣descended of such Poor Parentage, and therefore ordered his Servants to give him harsh and threatning Language, and set him gone, the poor old Man departs grieving, and weeping extreamly at the unkindness, and undutifulness of his Son. But behold the Justice of God overtook him, for the old Man was no sooner gone but his Son fell mad, and so died.
Murder the Breach of the Sixth Commandment.
CAIN the first Murderer that ever was, run headlong into extream desperation, having no certain place of Abode, wandring up and down upon the Earth, having his Head and Heart filled with Fear and despair.
And the Lord said unto Cain, what hast thou done? The voice of thy Brothers Blood cryeth unto me from the Ground, now therefore art thou Cursed from the Earth, which hath opened her Mouth to r••ceive thy Brothers Blood, from thy hand. When thou Tillest the Ground it shall not henceforth vield unto thee her strength; a Fugitive and a Vagabond shalt thou be in the Earth, Gen. 4.
A Bakers Servant at V••enna in Austria knowing his Master to be very Rich, having good store of Money by him, left his
Page 86
Service, not without a design to come another time and rob him, and a few days afterwards he breaks privily (in the Night time) into the House, and finding that he had disturb∣ed the Man-servant, lays wait for him, and kills him, and af∣ter that the Maid-servant likewise, and being now fully resolved to destroy all the Family, enters with this Bloody Resolution into the Bakers Lodging Chamber, and Murdered him and his Wife in their Beds, and not being satisfied with the Blood of these four, must needs Murder a little Girl which was their Daughter, the Child seeing his Intentions, or at least fearing that he would serve her as he had her Father and Mother, cryed out, O Paul, Paul, save me, and I will give you all my Play-things, but he would not hear the little Child, but Mur∣dered it. And when he had done all this, he broke open the Chest wherein the Money was, took it out, and went away with his Booty, and made his escape to Ratisbon. The Neigh∣bours admiring to see the Shop shut up all the next day, at last by Authority broke open the Doors, where they found the Murdered Bodies to their great Horrour and Amazement.
The Murderer was in a short time after taken at Ratisbon, and brought from thence to Vienna, where he took his Tryal, and he confessed his Charge, and was Condemned to be Hang∣ed Alive in Chains, which was accordingly performed; he said nothing troubled him more than the cries of the Child, offering him her Play-things to save her Life, which he said, he continually heard, and could by no means put it out of his Mind.
The bloody and▪ deceitful Men shall not live out half their day••
Psal. 55. 23.
Adultery the Breach of the Seventh Commandment.
THE Punishment of David for his committing of Adultery with Bathsheba the Wife of Uriah, was very great, as also was his Repentance, 2 Sam. 1••. 12.
The Wife of a certain Nobleman having more than ordinary Familiarity with another besides her Husband, her Lord being absent, she having written two Letters at one time, the one to her Husband, and the other to her Familiar Friend, she chanced to superscribe them both wrong; viz. that which was for her Husband, to her sweet Heart, and that which was for her Sweet-heart she superscribed to her Husband, by which he discovered her unfaithfulness to his Bed, and went home and killed her with his own Hand.
An Honest Citizen of Ulm in Germany having a very Lewd
Page 87
Wife, had often admonished her to mend her sinful Course of Life, but in vain; and at last being resolved to make a posi∣tive proof of her Chastity▪ he gave out that he would take a Journey into the Countrey for two days at least, and away he went in the Morning, but returned at Night, and (undiscover∣ed by his Wife) got into the House, and hid himself in some convenient place where he might easily perceive how passages were, and found the Servants (who were privy to their Mi∣stresses Lewd Course of Life,) making great Preparations for a Splendid Entertainment, by and by in comes the Adulte∣rer, who was kindly received, and made very welcome; the good Man observing what passed, was highly provoked, but yet bore all very patiently; soon after Supper was ended they go to Bed, which the good Man perceiving, run in great Pas∣sion from the place where he lay undiscovered, and first ki••ed the Adulterer, and then his Wife; for this he was called to Answer, but the Magistrate thinking his Provocation great, and Revenge just, exempted him from Punishment.
Marriage is honourable in all, and the Bed undefiled; but Whore∣mongers and Adulterers God will judge,
Heb. 13. 4.
Theft the Breach of the Eighth Commandment.
WE have many Examples both in Sacred Writ and other Histories, of Almighty Gods high Resentment of the Breach of this Commandment. But amongst them none more Famous than that of Achan the Son of Carmi, of the Tribe of Iudah, who was found guilty of the accursed thing, in privily Stealing a Babylonish Garment, two hundred Shekels of Silver, and a Wedge of Gold of fifty Shekels, and hid them in the Earth in the midst of his Tent, but the Lord discovered his Theft, and brought him to Condign Punishment, for he was stoned to Death, and his Sons, and his Daughters, his Oxen, and his Asses, his Sheep, his Tent, and all that he had were Burnt with Fire, Iosh. 7.
It is Recorded by Martin Luther, that a very wicked but young Thief, was taken in the Town of Belkig in Germany, where being Tryed for his Life, he was found guilty; but in consideration of his Youth, and in Hopes, and by his Promise, of a Reformation for the future, he was pardoned and set at Liberty; but in a very little time he fell to his old Trade of Thieving and Stealing, and professed himself an utter Enemy to the said Town of Belkig, and set it on Fire, and Burnt seve∣ral Houses in it, at length he was taken again by the Branden∣burghers, and being asked how he durst be so wicked as to set
Page 88
Fire to that Town that had been so kind to him as to give him his Life? he answered, (and no other Answer could they get from him, but) that he had there received an unjust Sentence for his Thievery, for they ought not to have let him go, but to have Hang'd him.
No less Famous is Gods Vengeance upon Urracha Queen of Spain, for her Sacriledge, for being necessitated for Money in her Wars which she had with her Son Alphonsus, she went into the Church of St. Isidore, and Commanded her Souldiers to seize upon the Riches thereof, but they being fearful to lay Hands on the Holy Treasure, refused to obey her, wherefore she pulled it to pieces with her own Hand, but behold the Justice of God overtook her immediately, for as she was going out of the Church she was struck dead in the very place.
Hell and Destruction are never full, so the Eyes of Man are never satisfied.
False-witness a Breach of the Ninth Commandment.
WE have many Examples of Gods Judgment upon Sinners for the Breach of this Commandment; one of thae most Famous in Holy Writ is that of Ahab and Iezabel, for pro∣curing False Witness against Naboth, and thereby taking away his Life, on purpose that Ahab might have his Vineyard which he had long coveted, 1 Kings 21.
It is Recorded in the Chronicles of Scotland how that one Campbel a Fryar by falsly accusing of one Hamilton, caused him to be Burnt to Death, but Hamilton being in the Fire ready to be Executed, Cited or Summoned the said Fryar to appear (betwixt that and such a day which he then named) before the most high God, the Righteous Judge of all Men, to An∣swer to the Innocency of his Death, and whether his Accusa∣tion were just or not; now behold the just Hand of God, for before the day nominated by the said Hamilton came, the Fryar died miserably without any Remorse of Conscience.
These six things doth the Lord hate; yea seven are an Abomina∣tion unto him: A Proud Look, a Lying Tongue, and Hands that shed Innocent Blood, an Heart that deviseth Wicked Imaginations, Feet that be swift in running to Mischief, a False Witness that speaketh Lies, and him that soweth Discord among Brethren,
Prov. 6. 16, 17, 18, 19.
Covetousness a Breach of the Tenth Commandment.
THE Jews when they had forsaken the Law of the Lord, were miserably afflicted, for there were slain of Iudah in
Page 89
one day, by Pe••ah the Son of Ramaliah an Hundred and Twen∣ty Thousand; and afterwards the Children of Israel took of their Brethren of the House of Iudah Two Hundred Thousand Women, Sons and Daughters, and a vast deal of Treasure, and carried it to Samaria, but they were severely reproved by the Prophet Obed, who denounced the heavy Anger of the Lord against them, and they returned their Captives and Prey into Iudea. As you may see at large, 2 Chron. 28.
King Zedekiah is reprehended as a Violator of this Command∣ment, for grievously oppressing his Subjects, by Building Stately and Magnificent Structures, at the Charge and La∣bour of the Poor; as you may see in Ierem. 22.
The Sons of Samuel being Covetously minded took Bribes, and perverted Judgment, which made the Children of Israel desirous to change their present Government into a Kingdom, 1 Sam. 8.
King Ahab coveting Naboth's Vineyard, and being Naboth would not sell it him because it was the Inheritance of his Fa∣thers; by the counsel, advice, or instigation of his Wife Ie∣zabel Witnesses are Suborned falsly to accuse him, and Naboth is stoned to Death, so that now Ahab may have the Vineyard at his pleasure; but behold the Hand of God in revenging his Covetousness and false Accusation, fell upon all his Posterity, 1 Kings 21.
W•• to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their Beds: When the Morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hands. And they covet Fields, and take them by violence; and Houses, and take them away: So they oppress a Man and his House evon a Man and his Heritage. Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold against this Family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your Necks, neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is Evil.

Chap. 26. Directions for true Spelling and Writing of English.
ALL Speech or Language is composed of Words, and eve∣ry Word is composed of Syllables, except it be a Mono∣syllable, and every Syllable is composed of one or more Let∣ters.
The Letters are in number twenty four, as followeth, viz. a b c d e f g h i k l m n o p q r s t u w x y z, to which may be added j and v which make up the number twenty six.
These Letters are divided into Vowels and Consonants.
The Vowels are a e i o u and y after a Consonant.
The Consonants are b c d f g h k l m n p q r s t w x z and y when it comes before a Vowel in the same Sylla∣ble, as in youth, young, yonder, also j and v are Consonants where-ever found.
No Syllable can be spelt without a Vowel, and sometimes the Vowels alone make a Syllable, as a-gainst, e-ve-ry, i-vo∣ry, o-ver, usury.
Page 93
And as no Syllable can be without a Vowel, so no Syllable hath more than one Vowel, as di-vi-si-on, except when two have one sound, which we call Dipthongs, as au-tho-ri-ty, soon, pro-ceed, neu-ter. And e or es in the end of a word, which for distinction sake may aptly be called e final, as hence, since, con-fute, names, bones. Or in Compound Words, as safe-guard, not sa-fe-guard, there-fore, not the-re∣fore, &c.
Wherefore when any word is given to be divided into Sylla∣bles, consider how many Vowels and Dipthongs are therein, so many Syllables must there be, except as before excepted. And to divide your Syllables exactly take the following Rules.
- I. When two Vowels come together in a word, being no Diphthong, but having each his full sound, then must they in Spelling be divided as mu-tu-al, tri-umph, tri-en-ni-al.
- II. When a double Consonant is in the middle of a word, then is it likewise in Spelling to be divided, as war-rant, com∣mon; spel-ling, ne-ces-sa-ry.
- III. When a Consonant is in the middle of a word between two Vowels or Dipthongs, then must that Consonant be join∣ed to the latter Vowel or Dipthong, as di-li-gent, re-ve-la-ti∣on, de-li-ve-rance, sau-ci-ly, co-ve-tous.
- IV. When two or more Consonants, being such as can be∣gin a word follow a Vowel, such Consonants must generally be joined to the latter Syllable, as mi-ni stra-ti-on, mi-ni ster, de-tract, de-spise, de-clare. See more Examples of this Rule in the 10th Chapter.
- V. When two or more Consonants being such as cannot begin a word, come between two Vowels then must they be divided, one to the former, and the other to the latter Vowel, as ab-sence, a••-ter, al-mond, con-tra-ry, con-strain, where note that when three or four Consonants are in the middle of a word between two Vowels, such of them as can begin a word must be joined to the latter Syllable, as con-tra-ry, where you see ntr cannot begin a word, but tr may, wherefore is n join∣ed to the first, and tr to the latter Syllable. So in con strain, ••str cannot begin a word but str may, &c.
From the foregoing general Rules there are these following Exceptions, viz.
From the third Rule there are two Exceptions.
- 1. When x followeth a Vowel it must be always joined with the Vowel before it, as wax eth, fix-ed, ex am-ple, not wa-xeth, fi-xed, e xam p e, for the Letter x hath the sound of two Consonants, viz. c and s, which cannot begin a word,
Page 94
- but if instead of x you would use c and s, then it would come under the fifth Rule, as for wax-eth, wac-seth, &c.
- 2 When e is in the end of a word you ought not to stop at the Vowel before it, as lame, not la-me, con-sume, not con∣su-me, &c.
From the third and fourth Rules are excepted all words that begin with these Prepositions, viz. abs, ob, in, un, dis, mis, per, sub, and such as end with these terminations, ly, less, ness, ler, as ab-la-tive, ob-la-ti-on, in-a-bi-li-ty, in-au gu-rate, un-a∣ble, dis-a-ble, dis-trust, mis-place, mis-take, per am-bu-late, sub∣orn, sub-lime, ug-ly, help-less, co ve-tous-ness, bab-ler. For these prepositions and terminations must have their full sound, and pronunciation.
A Syllable is either long or short.
A Syllable is said to be long when it is pronounced by a lon∣ger time than ordinary, and a Syllable is said to be short, when it is pronounced by a short time.
There are three things which make a Syllable long, viz. 1. When e is placed at the end of a word, it always makes the last Syllable long, as made, bare, cane, note, tune, whereas if the e were neglected, it would be sounded short, as mad, bar, &c.
2. Secondly a Dipthong maketh a Syllable long, as train, cool, caul, feel, &c. where note that e ought never to be written at the end of a word if the last Syllable have a Diph∣thong in it, as con-strain, un seen, not con straine, unseene. Ex∣cept when s follows the Diphthong, soft th, and c and g, as hoise, noise, seeth, voice, choice, siege.
3. Thirdly, gh after a Vowel in the end of a word makes the Syllable long, as high, night, thigh, sight.
There are likewise three things which make a Syllable short.
- 1. First many Consonants joined together, as first, durst, distrust, contemptible.
- 2. Secondly, the doubling of a Consonant, as pil-low, bil∣low, stag-ger, stam-mer.
- 3. Thirdly, when e is left out at the end of a word, as if from fare, bare, mate, you take away e the Syllable will be short, as far, bar, mat, also bed, quit, knit, &c.
Words of one short Syllable need never have the last Conso∣nant doubled, to shorten its sound, as met, trip, flip, at, top, gut, except in some few words where custom has prevailed to make a distinction from other words of the same sound but of different significations, as Ann, cann, butt, inn, interr.
Page 95
Chap. 27. Some Observations of the several Letters of the Al∣phabet.
A
A being placed before l and after a Consonant, is sound∣ed broad and long like the Diphthong au, as call, shall, ball, bald, shalt, s••ald, malt, mall.
Therefore when the Diphthong au is sounded before l, it is most commonly written with an a only, except in Paul, brawl, caul, assault, fault, bawl.
A is seldom or never sounded after e or o in the same Syllable, that is in the improper Diphthongs ea and oa, as goat, great, re peal, gr••an, except in heart, hear-ken, where the e loseth its sound, also the A is scarce sounded in mar∣ri-age, car-ri-age, par-li a-ment, these words being sounded marridg, carridg, parliment.
Likewise in some words taken from the Hebrew, where it is either placed before its self or before o, as in Isaac, Canaan, Pharaoh, &c. which words are sounded Isac, Canan, Pharo.
B
B loseth its sound when it happens in the end of a word af∣ter m, or before t, as in womb, climb, thumb, dumb, lamb, limb, doubt, doubtful, debt, subtil, &c.
C
C is sounded like K when it comes before a, o, and u, as camp, come, count, cool, cure, except in some words taken from the Latin where e follows it, thereby making the Latin Diph∣thong ae or ae as Caesar or Caesar. And C being placed be∣fore e, i, and y, is sounded like s, as in place, ice, mice, ci∣ty, certain, cypress, exceed.
Likewise when C comes before l or r, it is always sound∣ed like K, as clout, cream, clear, croud.
Ch in words which are purely English hath a peculiar sound, whether placed before or after a Vowel, first before a Vowel, as child, chance, cheap, chuse, chosen, churl; secondly after a Vowel, as reach, teach, such, touch, preach, breech, rich, roch.
But where you find Ch, in some few words that are of an Hebrew, or Greek derivation, it is for the most part sounded like K, as Christ, Christopher, Chorus, Character, Achan, La∣chish, Malchus. And when s is written before it, as Scheme, Scholar, &c. Except when a Consonant follows C••, as in Archbishop, Archdeacon, &c.
Page 96
C when written between a Vowel and K is not at all pro∣nounced, as black, stick, sick, thick, beck, block, suck.
Also when sc comes before e or i, then C loseth its sound, as Science, descent, conscience. But before a, o, or u, it keeps its sound, as scarce, score, fourscore, scul, scumin.
And here note by the way that C is never placed between n and k, as thank, think, brink, not thanck, thinck, brinck, &c.
D
In all words where g follows d, there is d very scarcely if at all sounded, as badge, badger, bedge, bridge, dodge, budge.
E
When an e is found in the end of a pure English word it is very seldom sounded, only it serves either to prolong the Syl∣lable, as bare, care, fare spare, cure, cole, which without e would be short, as bar, car, far, spar, cur, col. Also when s follows it in the end of a word it serves to prolong the last Syllable, as sumes, consumes, names, robes. Except me, ye, he, be, we, the.
Or when it follows c, or g, it serves to soften their pro∣nunciation, as rage, race, stage, scarce.
When it follows l, or r, it is to be sounded deeply as if it went rather before them, as cable, able, noble, candle, acre, tygre.
E loseth its sound in George, Tuesday, Scrivener, Beauty.
Also it is generally added for beauties sake in the end of words after o, and u, as roe, due.
And here note that e must never be written at the end of a short Syllable, as art, defend, convert, not arte, defende, con∣verte.
Except in a few short Syllables which are customarily writ∣ten with an e after them, as come, some, done, gone, behove, shove, glove, live, love, give, above, move.
Also e must never be written at the end of a word after a double Consonant, as bless, goodness, not blesse, goodnesse; except when another Syllable is thereby added to the word, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
Likewise when a Syllable is added to a word that endeth in 〈◊〉〈◊〉, then shall e be left out, as grace, gracious, shame, shaming, blame, blaming.
Except the Syllable added thereto beginneth with a Conso∣nant, for then must e be continued, as grace, graceful, not gracful, shame, shameful, not shamful.
Except also when ge, and ce, come before the termination able, as charge, chargeable, not chargable, peace, peaceable, not ••acable.
Page 97
Except likewise words that are compounded of there, here, where, as therein, therefore, hereafter, heretofore, wherein, where∣fore.
E is commonly sounded in the end of such words as are de∣rived from the Greek or Latin, as Phebe, Epitome, premu∣nire, &c.
Also many English words that have the sound of e in the end thereof, are written with ey, as countrey, valley, bar∣ley, parsley.
F is always sounded or pronounced alike.
G
G is never sounded when it precedes m or n in the same Syllable, as phl••gm, sign, reign, design, sovereign, gnaw.
G before e, i, and y, is commonly sounded soft, as ge-ne∣ra-ti-on, gi-ant, gyp-sie, spun-gy.
Except give, gift, to-ge-ther, be-gin, gir-dle, gird, girl, girt, tar-get, Gil-bert.
G before a, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and u, or before its self or any Consonant in the same Syllable is always sounded, or pronounced hard, as gave, go-vern, gum, glass, grass, dig-geth, big-ness.
When n goes before g, it is likewise pronounced hard, as ••ang, sing, ring, long, fin-ger, an-ger. Except e follows g in the same Syllable, as range, singe, &c.
The sound of gh is various, as,
- 1. If it be in the beginning of a word is sounded like g hard, as Ghost, ghostly, &c.
- 2. When gh is found in the end of many words it is pro∣nounced like f, as laugh, enough, cough, tough, rough, hough, &c.
- 3. In some words it is not sounded at all, but only serves to make the Syllable long, as through, dough, night, might, sight.
- 4. But when two Syllables are parted according to rule between g, and h, then is g sounded hard, as hog-beard, &c.
H
H is generally defined to be no Letter but only a note of ••spiration, or breathing.
H in the beginning of words after g, or r, is not at all sounded, as ghost, ghostly, rheum, Rhe-to-rick, Rhe-nish, Tho∣mas, Scholar, Scheme.
I
I is not sounded many times when it follows u in the same Syllable, as juice, fruit, bruit, suit, bruise, re-cruit. Like∣wise its sound is neglected in the improper Diphthong ei, ei∣ther, neighbour, neither, &c. Also in adieu, cousin, fashion.
When i comes before r, it is commonly sounded like 〈◊〉〈◊〉,
Page 98
as frst, thirst, irk-some, third, fir, bird, thir-ty sir, firm.
Except when it begins a word, as ir-ra-ti-o-nal, ir-re-ve∣rent, &c. Or when e follows it at the end of a word, as con-spire, de-sire, fire.
K
When c hard is pronounced hefore e, i, or n, that word must be written with k, as ken-nel, kill, know, knowledge, &c. But when c hard is sounded before a, o, and u, that word must be written with c, and not with k, as co-ver, can-dle, custome; not kover, kandle, kustome.
L
L very often loseth its sound when it comes between a and f, and a and k, as calf, half, stalk, walk, balk.
Also it loseth its sound in balm, calm, salve, alms, Sal-mon, fal-con, Lin-coln, Bris-tol, Hol-born, folks.
When a Monosyllable ends with l, it is commonly doubled, as call, shall, bill, shell, well, will; except a Diphthong pre∣cede it, as boil, fail; but if a Consonant be added to the end, then it loseth an l, as shalt, wilt, &c.
And if a word of more than one Syllable ends with l, it must never be double, as gospel, not gospell, principal, not principall.
M
In what word soever m is found, it is never neglected, but always pronounced.
N
When n follows m at the end of a word it is seldom or ne∣ver sounded, as condemn, contemn, solemn, Autumn, hymn, limn▪
O
O is variously sounded, viz. sometimes short, as not, got, s••t; and sometimes long, as know, tow, bestow, go, to••, wo, so, &c sometimes like u, as smother, brother.
And in some words it is not sounded at all, as youth, cou∣rage, courtesie, double, trouble, dou••let, people.
And many times it must be written before n in the end of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 word, when it is not pronounced, as Apron, Iron, &c.
P
Ph whether it is in the beginning, middle, or end of a word, is sounded like f, as Phi-lo so pher, Phi lip, Or-phan, Tri-umph. Except in some few words where the Syllables are divided between p, and h, as Shep-herd, up-hold, Clap-ha••.
When p comes between m and t in the end of a word, then p loseth its sound, as contempt, exempt; also in Symptom, redemption; also in psalm, psaltery, &c.
Page 99

Sometimes qu is sounded like k, as ob-lique, pub-lique, re∣lique, ex-che-quer, liquor, &c.
R
R is always sounded, but never variously wheresoever it is found; as fa-ther, ra-ther, &c.
S
The Letter S is either long or short, which are always to be observed in their places, viz.
Long s must be always written in the beginning and the middle of words, as such, some, con-sume, con-spire. And short s or little s is always in the end of a word, as sins, sons, hands. Also if there be a double ss, the last ought to be a short s, as assurance, sessions, good-ness.
S is sometimes pronounced hard, and sometimes soft, hard, as con-se-quence, se-date, con-sume, and soft like z, as bars, sons, sins.
In some words it is not sounded at all, as Isle, Viscount, Island, which are to be read Ile, Vicount, Iland.

Except s, r, or n, go before it, as question, christian, com∣bustion, courtier, voluntier, frontier, Antioch.
Except also when a Syllable beginning with a Vowel is an∣nexed to a word ending in ty, then shall ty be changed into ti keeping its sound, as mighty, mightier, lusty, lustier, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, pitious, lofty, loftier.

Y
Y before a Vowel is a Consonant, and is to be sounded, as yet, you, youth, yon-der, york.
But when it follows a Consonant then it is accounted a Vowel, as migh-ty, lof-ty, beau-ty.
Z
Z is generally pronounced like soft s, as zeal, zi-on, a-zi∣muth, &c.
J
When j Consonant comes before a Vowel, as it always does, then it is pronounced like soft g when it comes before e, i, or y, as jea-lous, joy-ful, joy, judge, E-li-jah, &c. and wheresoever it is found it is to be so pronounced, and its shape as well as pronounciation differs from i Vowel, being always writted thus j.

V Consonant is always placed before a Vowel, and hath a sound peculiar to its self, as in vertue, vile, vain, veri∣ly, vice, Saviour; Likewise v Consonant differs in shape from •• Vowel, as well as in sound, it being always made thus v. Concerning the Diphthongs read the seventh Chapter.
Chap. 28. Of the use of Great Letters, commonly called Capitals.
THE Capitals in writing are of very great use, and are to be used according to the followng directions.
I. All proper Names, whether of Men or Women, as Adam, Iames, Iohn, Mary, and also the Sirnames of Men. Likewise the proper Names of Countreys, Cities, Towns, Arts, Sciences, Dignities, Titles of Honour, Offices, Days, Months, Winds, Places, Heathenish Gods, and Goddesses, ••ivers and Islands.
II. Every Sentence beginning after a period is to be begin with a Capital, and in Poetry every Verse or Line must be∣gin with a Capital. Also every Book, Chapter, Verse, Pa∣ragraph, and Section.
III. When the words of another is quoted, they ought to begin with a great Letter, as Matth. 2. 8. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young Child, &c.
Page 101
IV. The Titles of Books, as THE HOLY BIBLE, and many times very remarkable Sentences are written with great Letters, as Rev. 17. 5. And upon her Forehead was a Name writ∣ten, MYSTERY, BABILON THE GREAT, THE MO∣THER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Also the Numeral Letters are written with Great Letters, as the date of the present year is MDCXCII.
Chap. 29. Of the Points, or Pauses, and Marks.
IN reading or writing you are always to observe the Points or Stops, for they give great Life, and Light to the under∣standing in Reading. And they be these which follow, viz. A Comma marked thus (,) a Semicolon thus (;) a Colon thus (:) a Period or full stop thus (.) an Interrogation noted thus (?) and a note of Exclamation or Admiration no∣ted thus (!) and a Parenthesis which is noted thus () with two Semicircles.
A Comma is a stop of the smallest time, and requires but very little breathing; as for Example,
But ye are a chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, an holy Nation, a peculiar People, &c.
A Semicolon is of somewhat longer time than a Comma; as in this Example, His very Countenance begat in me a trembling; his Words were terrible as thunder; his Rage is sufficient to compleat my ruin.
A Colon is a middle pause between a Comma and a Period, and is generally in the middle of a Sentence.
Example, If I hold my Tongue, I can expect no relief: And if I speak, I fear I shall be rejected: Unless by some powerful Expressions, I can make her really sensible of what I truly feel.
A Period is the longest pause, or breathing time, and is al∣ways put at the end of a compleat Sentence.
Example, Eternity is an undeterminable Circle, wherein the per∣sons of all Ages, shall be encompassed in endless weal or woe.
An Interrogation or Interrogative point is always placed after a question. Example,
Whither can I fly for redress? Or to whom shall I apply myself for relief?
A note of Admiration is always put after a Sentence wherein something is exclaimed against or admired at; as,
Oh the vain pleasures of the World! Oh that ever Man should be charged with the guilt of his own ruin!
Page 102
A Parenthesis is when a Sentence is inserted in the middle of another Sentence between two Semicircles, which if wholly neglected or omitted, the sense would not be spoiled. As,
I shall in a few words (because many would be too tedious) give you an information of the whole matter.
Here if these words because many would be too tedious, were left out, yet the sense would be perfect.
There are also many other marks which you will meet with in Reading, as sometimes when a Vowel is left out in a word, you will find this mark over its place, viz. (') which is cal∣led Ap••strophus, as th' intent for the intent, consum'd for con∣sumed, I'll for I will, &c.
In compound words you shall find a short Line made be∣tween them, which is called an Hyphen, as Self-denial, Time∣servers, Will-worship; and likewise when you have not room to write the whole word in the Line, you ought to make the same mark at the end, to signifie the rest of the word to be in the other Line.
And you will find such marks as these in the Bible and other Books, viz. (*) (†) and (‖) which are called notes of reference, and do serve to refer or direct the Readers to look for some proof, note, or observation, which you will find at the same mark in the Margin. And sometimes the Letters of the Alphabet are inserted in a smaller Character for the same purpose.
When another Author is quoted in his own words, common∣ly the beginning of each Line of the same is distinguisht from the rest by a double Comma reversed, thus (")
When in writing any Word or Sentence is forgotten, then must it be written over the Line, and this mark (⁁) called a Caret must be made under the Line pointing between the words where the said word or sentence must come in.
Likewise at the beginning of a new Head or Section, there is by most Authors set this mark §.
