The First Part. Shewing how words and Sentences are exprest by significant Emblems, concerning which observe: If all words could be written by significant Emblems it were more pertinent and compendious then any other way of Writing. Alphabeti∣call writing is only usefull to supply what cannot be writ¦ten by a shorter method: Therefore that sort of Charac¦tery is best reserved until yt wch is more compendious & de∣lightfull be past through This Table needs not much direction, where ye Learner is only to observe, how the sence of ye word is represent∣ed by the Character. Note where any Em∣blem depends upon a Letter of the Alpha¦bet I have set it in the Front to Ill us∣trate it. This Stroak 〈☐〉〈☐〉 when it stands through a character, signifie•• some hurt: a: in (a) it is afflict 〈☐〉〈☐〉 in (b) burthen 〈☐〉〈☐〉 (c) corrupt 〈☐〉〈☐〉 & As for these Clauses (of) God of Christ of Man, of the World, see them more fully explained in Column 13. 14 The Marks for about, down, up, to, and fro. &c. do stand for Go a∣bout, went about, go down or come down, &c. Where any single mark is put for two or more words, they are such as the sence will easily distinguish in the reading. For the Plural num∣ber write a tittle underneath: Doctrine (〈☐〉〈☐〉) mercies (〈☐〉〈☐〉) masters (〈☐〉〈☐〉) Kingdoms (〈☐〉〈☐〉) The Learner must beware of adding any Emblems that will not square with the whole body of ye Characters.
