Of Numbers.

WOrds Declin'd have two Numbers, the Singular, and the Plural. The Singular speaketh but of one, as Lapis a Stone. The Plural of more then one, as Lapides Stones; yet some∣times but of one, as Athenae the City Athens, Lite∣rae an Epistle, aedes aedium a House.

Note that some Nounes have no Singular, and some no Plural, as the nature of thir significati∣on requires. Some are of one Gender in the Sin∣gular; of another, or of two Genders in the Plural, as reading will best teach.
