descriptionPage [unnumbered]
The longest words, and the most tedious Arts,Are overcome by willing hands and hearts.What Art so hard, what Science so obscure;That can the force of Industry endure?The honour's high of power and great command,But greater far it is to understand.
These words are sufficient for any Learner, abundance of words discourage more than they instruct; for if a Youth can once spell these, he may spell any: those of riper understanding and years need only read these words over; but it is very convenient for Youth to be carefully instructed to know them all.
