d
The Belly of d is made like c, all but the Dot in the head, which d hath not. The Projecture or Beak of the Stem is made like b, but the bottom of the Stem differs; for d hath a Tail which is as long as the Stem is broad, viz. 3 ½, from the right hand line of the Stem of d. This Tail is a straight line pro∣ceeding from the bottom of the left hand line of the Stem, whose end is raised two parts above the Foot-line. The line of the Tail that proceeds from the right hand line of the Stem, is a straight line parallel to the Foot-line.
