but if you add a Vowel to each of them, than they make by adding a to the first glad, e to the second Bless, i to the third sing, oh to the fourth Lord u to the fifth Pluck.  
A Consonant between two Vowels is usually joined to the latter; as, before, re-ward.  
When a Consonant is doubled in the middle of a word, as, Ladder, Differ, one Letter is joined to the first Syllable and the other to the latter, thus Lad-der, dif-fer.  
And so it is also, if two Consonans come between two Vowels, as in sel-dom trm-pet, because l, and mp are not proper to begin any word.  
But if three Consonants which are proper to begin a word come between two Vowels, than the Consonants must not be separated, but must be joined to the Vowel following, as con-strain-ed, not cons-trai-ned nor con-str-ained, because stir are proper to begin a word.  
These Consonants of two Letters may also begin woods, c r dr dw fl fr ga kn pl pa sc should sl sp saint sk sm sn sq sw th' tr tw wh wr.  
There are also Consonants of three Letters with which words may be begun, Scr phr stir squ spr shr thr thw spl.  
Dipthongs are proper or improper. The proper dipthongs are eight, ai, ei, oi, au, eu, ou, ee, oo,; The improper dipthongs are six, aye, ey, oy, awe, ewe, owe; they differ not much in sound. but differ very much in writing; for the proper dipthongs are to be used in the beginning and middle, as in Giste,, fair, Air, either; but when you have the same sounds in the ending of a word, you must writ aye, ey, oy, as prey, may, joy,   

In the Alphabet of Letters here are some that have made these Observations.  
That there are eight mute or dumb Letters. which are B. C. D. G. P. Q. T. because they are forced to borrow the Vowel E at the end, to help their sound.  
There are eight Semi-vowels or half Vowels, namely F. L. M. N. R. S. X. Z. all which begin their sound with E, and end in themselves.  
M. P. in his Vocal Organ distinguisheth the several Letters thus: B. f, m. p. ph. u are Lip-Consonants. Ce. ch.ge.je.s.sh. z. are Teeth-Consonants. D. l.n.r.t.th. are Tongue-Consonants. C. g. k. q. x. are Palate-Consonants. Gh. h. ng. y. are Throat-Consonants.  
It is observed by some, that there are Eighteen Diphthongs in our English Tongue as you may see in the words subjoined, which words are most of them either derived from the Hebrew or have affinity with the Latin.

The Lord's Prayer.  
Our Father, which art in Heaven, Hal-low-ed be thy Name; Thy King-dom come; Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven; Give us this day our dai-ly Bread; and for-give us our Trespasses, as we for-give them that tres-pass against us; and lead us not into Tempta-ti-on; but de-li-ver us from evil: for thine is the Kingdom, Pour and Glory, for e-ver and e-ver, A-men.   

The Creed or Christian Be-lief.  
I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Ma-ker of Heaven and Earth, and in Je-sus Christ his on-ly Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Vir-gin Marry, suf-fe-red under Pon-ti-us Pilot, was cru-ci-fi-ed, dead and bu-ri-ed; he de-scend-ed in-to Hell, the third day he a-rose a-gain from the dead, he a-scend-ed in-to Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence he shall come to judge both the quick and the dead; I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Com-mu-ni-on of Saints, the for-giveness of Sins, the Re-sur-rec-ti-on of the Bo-dy, and the Life e-ver-last-ing. A-men.   

The Ten Com-mand-ments.  
ANd God spoke these words, saying,  
I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the Land of Epypt, out of the House of Bon-dage.  
1. Thou shalt have no o-ther Gods before me.  
2. Thou shalt not make un-to thyself any Graved I-mage, or the like-ness of any thing that is in Heaven a-bove, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the wa-ter under the Earth, thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, vi-si-ting the i-ni-quity of the Father's upon their Children un-to the third and fourth ge-ne-ra-ti-on of them that hate me, and showing mer-cy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my Com-mand-ments.  
3. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guilt-less that takes his Name in vain.  
4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, six days shalt thou la-bour and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt not do any work, Thou, nor thy Son, nor thy Daughter, thy man-ser-vant, nor thy maid-ser-vant, nor thy Cattle, nor thy Stran-ger 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 se-venth day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hal-low-ed it.  
5. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, that thy days may be long upon the Land which the Lord thy God gives thee.  
6. Thou shalt not kill.  
7. Thou shalt not com-mit A-dul-tery.  
8. Thou shalt not steal.  
9 Thou shalt not bear false wit-ness against thy Neighbour.  
10. Thou shalt not co-vet thy Meighbours House, thou shalt not co-vet thy Neighbour's Wife, nor his Manservant, nor his Maid-ser-vant, nor his Ox, nor his Ass, nor any thing that is thy Neighbour's.   


Psalm 1.  
Blessed is the Man that walketh not in the Counsel of the un-god-ly, nor stands in the way of Sin-ners, nor sitteth in the Seat of the scorn-ful.  
But his de-light is in the Law of the Lord, and in his Law doth he me-di-tate Day and Night.  
And he shall be like a Tree plant-ed by the River's of wa-ter, that bring-eth forth his fruit in his sea-son; his Leaf al-so shall not whither, and whatsoever he doth, shall prospero.  
The un-godly are not so, but are like the Chaff which the wind dri-veth away.  
Therefore the un-god-ly shall not stand in the judge-ment; nor sin-ners in the Con-gre-ga-ti-on of the Righ-te-ous,  
For the Lord know-eth the way of the Righ-te-ous, but the way of the un-god-ly shall pe-rish.   

St. Matthew, Chapter 1  
1. THe Book of the Ge-ne-ra-ti-on of Je-sus Christ the Son of Da-vid, the Son of Abraham.  
2. Abraham be-gat Isaac, and Isaac be-gat Ja-cob, and Ja-cob be-gat Ju-das and his Brethrens.  
3. And Ju-das be-gat Pharez and Zara of Tha-mar, and Pharez be-gat Ezrom, and Ezrom be-gat A-ram.  
4. And A-ram be-gat Aminadab, and Aminadab be-gat Naasson, and Naasson be-gat Sal-mon.  
5. And Sal-mon be-gat Booz of Rachab, and Booz be-gat Obed of Ruth, and Obed be-gat Jes-se.  
6. And Jes-se begat Da-vid the King, and Da-vid the King be-gat Solomon, of her that had been the Wife of Urias'.  
7. And Solomon be-gat Roboham, and Roboham be-gat Abia, and Abia be-gat A-sa.  
8. And A-sa be-gat Josophat, and Josophat be-gat Jo-ram, and Joram be-gat Ozi-as.  
9 And O-zi-as be-gat Joatham, and Joatham be-gat Achas, and Achas be-gat Ezekias.  
10. And Ezekias be-gat Manasses, and Manases, be-gat A-mon, and A-mon be-gat Jo-si-as.  
11. And Jo-si-as be-gat Je-cho-ni-as, and his Brethrens about the time they were carried away to Ba-by-lon.  
12. And after they were brought to Ba-by-lon Je-cho-ni-as be-gat Salathiel, and Salathiel be-gat Zorobabel.  
13. And Zorobabel be-gat Abiud, and Abiud be-gat Eliakim, and Eliakim be-gat Azure.  
14. And Azure be-gat Sadoc, and Sadoc be-gat Achim, and Achim be-gat Eliud.  
15. And Eliud be-gat E-li-a-zer, and E-li-a-zer be-gat Matthan, and Matthan be-gat Ja-cob.  
16. And Ja-cob be-gat Jo-seph the Husband of Marry, of whom was born Jesus, who is cal-led Christ.  
17. So all the generations from Abraham to Da-vid are four-teen generations. And from Da-vid to the car-ry-ing away in-to Ba-by-lon are four-teen generations. And from the car-ry-ing away in-to Ba-by-lon un-to Christ are four-teen generations.   

The first Epistle of Saint John, the second Chapter.  
1. MY little Children, these things writ I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.  
2. And he is the Propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.  
3. And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments.  
4. He that saith he knoweth him, and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar, and the Truth is not in him.  
5. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected, hereby know we that we are in him.  
6. He that saith he abideth in him; ought himself also to walk even as he walked.  
7. Brethrens I writ no new Commandment unto you, but an old Commandment which ye had from the beginning; the old Commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.  
8. Again a new Commandment I writ unto you, which thing is true in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.  
9 He that saith he is in the Light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.  
10. He that loveth his brother abideth in the Light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.  
11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

The Lamentation of David over Saul and Jonathan 2 Sam. 1 Chap. vers. 19  

THe Beauty of Israel is slain  
upon the places high.  
How are the Mighty fallen down!  
in Gath this never cry,   

Nor tell't in streets of Askelon,  
jest Philistines rejoice:  
Jest daughter's of th' Uncircumcised  
Make a Triumphant noise.   

You Mountains high of Gilboa  
let there be never dew:  
Let neither rain, nor Fields again  
of Offerings be on you.   

For there the Shield o'th' Mighty's lost,  
and vildly put to th' foil;  
The Shield of Saul as he had not  
anointed been with Oil.   

Jonathans' bow turned not back  
From the blood of the Slain;  
Nor from the Mighties fat, Sauls sword  
returned not in vain.   

Lovely and pleasant in their lives  
were Saul and Jonathan;  
And in their death and latest breath  
was no division.   

They swifter were than Eagles, far  
stranger than Lion's stout:  
You daughters fair of Israel, spare  
not for Saul to weep out.   

Who clothed you with Scarlet, and  
with all that might delight;  
Who put on Ornaments of Gold  
On your Apparel bright.   

In the midst of the Fight how are  
the Mighty fallen down,  
O Jonathan how wast thou slain  
in the place of Renown!   

OH thou my brother Jonathan  
I am distressed for thee;  
A pleasant kind Companion  
thou hast been unto me.   

Thy love to me was wondered,  
passed that of women far:  
How are the Mighty fallen, and how  
are lost the Men of War!     

There are several words that have some Letters in them that are not sounded or pronounced, and yet must be used when the same words are written.  
AS A. in some words; as we pronounce Pharo, but must writ Pharaoh, and so in Isaac, Canaan, etc.  
B. in some, for we must writ Dumb, thumb, lamb, womb, doubt, debt; but we pronounce them, dumb, thum, lamb, women, doubt, debt, etc.  
C. Written between a Vowel and KING is not pronounced; as in black, check, sick, lock, truck, etc.  
C. Written after ss is not pronounced, as in descent, conscience, disciple, ascent, etc.  
C. Before a, oh, oo, commonly sounds like KING: as cat, court, custom, colour, cook: but C before e, i, y, or ee, sounds like ss: as censer, city, cider cypress, exceed, proceed.  
Ch. in words purely English, have a peculiar sound with them, both before and after Vowels. Before a Vowel, in chance, cheap, chine, choke, churl: after a Vowel in ache, reach, rich, roch, such: But in words of a Hebrew or Greek derivation Changed sounds like KING, as in Chederlaomer, Achan, Lafoy chish, Mal-chus: and so also in the end of words: as Berodach, Melchizedech, An-ti-och, Baruch: but still except Rakehell, Che-ru-bin, Tychicus: as also words compounded of Arch, as Arch-bi-shop, Ar-chi-tect.  
D. is not pronounced in badge, hedge, bridge, lodge, judge, friendship, handmaid, wednesday.  
E is usually written, but not pronounced in the end of a word, as in horse, breathe, virtue, and is usually added not so much for necessity as beauty: But you must always except some words of a foreign Derivation as E-pi-to-me, Jes-se, Jubilee and others.  
But e is never pronounced in the end of any English word but in these ye, me, be, we, he: But yet e is necessarily added to some words, or else it will altar the sense, as to writ flaming fire, oh must be added, jest it be taken for a fir tree: and so, It made me mad, e is useful, though not pronounced: and so in mile, choir, ride, far, to distinguish them from mill, quit, rid, far: and so in others. Sometimes e is added at the end of a word to change the sound, as in face, grace, which without e, would sound as fac, grac: e softeneth the sound of g in age, stage, etc. It is usual when a word endeth in i, oh, or u, to add e at the end, but it is indifferent whether it be added or omitted. When words end with a double Consonant they must not have an e after them, as hall, ball, call, wall, all, fall, etc.  
If E be written at the end of a word after razors, or l, it comes before them in the pronouncing: as able is pronounced abel, Temple, Tempel, nitre, niter, crackle, crackel.  
G is not pronounced in sign, reign, phlegm, design, assign, but yet must be written.  
Gh is sounded like ff, in laugh, cough, enough, etc. G hath sometimes a hard sound, as in gain, gold, good, and sometimes a flat sound, as in Ginger, and therefore if a, oh, or u, follow this flat sound, it must be written with I, as Joseph, Judith, James, not Goseph, Gudith, Games: but when the sound hath i next, it is written with G, as Ginger, but when E follows, it is to be written with I, except these words following gesture, gender, generation, gentility, geometry, genealogy, gem, gentle, and some proper names.  
Gh is not often pronounced in any word, as light, bright might, right, they are sounded light, brite, mite, rite: and so in high, Almighty, thigh, nigh, gh are not sounded.  
H is written, but yet not sounded in many words, as Christ, Thomas, Rhetoric, Rheum, Scholar, scheme; but they are pronounced as Crist, Tomas, Rhetoric, Rheum, Scolar, sceme: also the sound of H is lost at the end of some words, as Shiloh, Hezekiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others.  
I is not sounded in adieu, juice, fruit, Parliament, carriage, cousin fashion, etc.  
I before r sounds like u, as thirst, third, fir, bird, thirty; and I Consonant before a Vowel is sounded as G, and written differently from an i vowel, as joy, judge, etc.  
KING seems not to be sounded in back, deck, sick, thick, rock, buck, pack, etc.  
L sounds not in half, ealf, stalk, salve, alms, balm, salmon, falcon, Lincoln, Bristol, Holborn, folk: but pomell is always pronounced in ale, scale, gale, and others.  
In words of one Syllable pomell is usually doubled, as ball, bell, bill, bull: but if a Consonant be added at the end, it loseth a Syllable, as shalt, wilt, etc. Words of above one Syllable end in a single l, as sinful, evil, etc.  
N is not sounded in Solemn, condemn, Hymn, Autumn, contemn, column, etc. yet they must be written thus with an n at the end to show their derivation from the Latin.  
OH is not pronounced in youth, damosel, courage, Gaoler, People, Jeopardy, scourge, nourish, young, etc.  
P is not sounded in Tempt, Receipt, Symptom, Psalm, Simpson, Redemption, Sumptuous, etc.  
Ph is sounded sometimes like FLETCHER, as in Triumph, Phebe, Sulphur, Orphan, Philip, Philemon, etc. But if Ph be in two Syllables, than it is otherwise, as in Shep-herd, Clap-ham.  
Q is always followed by u, whensoever it is written, although u add nothing to the sound thereof, as in Queen, quaker, quill, question, etc. Queen sounds like KING in liquor, Exchequer, etc.  
S is not sounded, but always written in Isle, Viscount, Island, etc. There is s long, and s short, and you must always writ s long in the beginning and middle of words, as son soul, blossom, blessing; and s short in the ending, as Sisters, Sons, Mothers, Husbands, lands, etc. except into words that are alterable, viz. Nouns singular into plural, or verbs into another person, as cause, causes, disburse, disbursest, disburseth; also SAINT so soundeth like Z in some words, as easy, bosom, etc.  
Ti before a Vowel commonly sounds like si, as it patience, persecution, nation, Oration, etc. but if ss go before it, than it is sounded as it is writ as in Question, Combustion, Bestial, or as it is in Titus; and so after the same manner you must pronounce those words that end in tie, as Crafty, Lofty, Pity, and so also loftier, loftiest.  
V Consonant should differ from a V Vowel, and should be pronounced as value vain, vengeance, verily, vice, vine, voice, vulture, etc.  
FIVE Vowel is not sounded in guard, guest, guile, buy, build, conduit, circuit, etc. u is always joined with Q, as Quail, quick, quiet, neither is u sounded in Saviour, Scrupulous, etc.  
W after OH is not sounded, as in grow, slow, yellow, shadow, widow; nor in wretch, writ, wrath, etc.  
Y is not pronounced in Monkey, Key, Chimney, kidney, journey, pulley; if a word end in i we make it commonly y, as cry, reply, misery, mercy, etc.  
S is pronounced like Z in some words, as loose, abuse, use, sins, Sons, etc.  
Now though there may be reason for many of these superfluous Letters, because they show from whence the words are derived, yet it might be wished they were written as they are spoken, which would make it easier both to strangers and ourselves also. There is a brief Table at the end to show you the difference that there is in writing and pronouncing many words.   

SInce Points, Stops, or Notes used by the learned in writing, are not the lest part of Orthography, or the right manner of writing, I thought good to give an account of them in brief, and they are these.  

A Comma (,)  
Semicolon (;)  
Colon (:)  
A full-point (.)  
Asterism (*)  
A note of Admiration (!)  
A note of Interrogation (?)  
A Parenthesis ()  
Obelisk †  
Hyphen (-)  
An Index ☞   
1. A Comma is a note of convenient silence, or rather a breathing time to that which succeeds, marked thus—,  
As for Example, Love's companions be unquiet long, fond comforts, faint discomforts, hopes, jealousies, carefulness.  
2. A Semicolon is a pause somewhat longer than a Comma, and thus noted—;  
Example, Her witty persuasions had wise answers; her eloquence recompensed with sweetness; her threaten repelled with disdain.  
3. A Colon is a middle distinction between a Comma and a full stop in the middle of a sentence, marked thus—:  
Example, If I speak nothing, I choke myself, and am in no way of relief: if simply, neglected: if confused, not understood: If I express any thing very lively of what I truly feel, this is a token forsooth my thoughts are too much at leisure.  
4. A Period is a perfect or full Point, to put at the end of a complete Sentence, marked thus—.  
Example, Lines cannot blush, so as modesty admits a freedom to my pen, which would be taxed immodesty being delivered by the Tongue.  
5. A note of Exclamation or Admiration is thus noted—!  
Example, O endless endeavours! OH vain glorious ignorance!  
6. A note of Interrogation thus—?  
Example, What shall I do? whither shall I flee? whom shall I blame? what shall I pretend—?  
7. A Parenthesis is shutting a sentence between two half moons, which notwithstanding, the discourse remains entire, noted thus ()

Moral Precepts and Instructions for Youth, which may also serve for Copies to Writ out.  

A Wise man aught to be content though poor,  
He's only rich that does desire no more.   

Be well advised, and wary Counsel take,  
E'er thou dost any action undertake.   

Close in thy bosom lock up thy intents,  
For he that knows thy purpose, best prevents.   

Defend the Truth, for that who will not dye,  
A Coward is, and gives himself the lie.   

Ever thy credit keep, 'tis quickly go,  
Being got by many actions, lost by one.   

Fly drunkenness, whose vile incontinence  
Takes away both the Reason and the Sense.   

Grateful unto thy Friends be, so thou'lt gain  
Their second help, if thou shouldst need again.   

Hear much, but little speak; a wise man fears,  
And will not use his Tongue so much as Ears.   

Judge not between two Friends, but rather see,  
If thou canst bring them friendly to agreed.   

Keep thyself humble, Pride hath ruin'd many.  
The proud man's seldom well beloved of any.   

Live well, and than how soon so ere thou die,  
Thou art of age to claim eternity.   

Make spare in youth, jest age should found thee poor,  
When time is past, and thou canst spare not more.   

Never to gather wealth through fraud presume,  
A little evil got, will much consume.   

Over thy reason let not Lust prevail;  
'Twill misery on thee, and thine entail.   

Praise not thyself, nor thy own worth, nor be  
The first that knows thy own sufficiency.   

Quietly learn all crosses to endure,  
Repining doth more misery procure.   

Refrain much talk: you seldom hear of any,  
Undone by hearing, but by speaking many.   

So live with man as if God's curious Eye,  
Did every where into thine Actions pry.   

To all alike be courteous, meek, and kind  
A winning carriage, with indifferent mind   

Use patience what e'er haps, though bade it be,  
Take it for good, and 'twill be so to thee.   

Who spends too much may want, and so complain,  
But he spends best, that spares to spend again.   

Xerxes' with Tears surveys his mighty host,  
Thinking how so on they'd all be dead and lost.   

Yesterday past, to morrow's none of thine,  
To day thy life to virtuous Acts incline.   

Zealously practise what is good, and than,  
Great will be thy reward in bliss. Amen.

Some Copies Alphabetical for Youth to writ out.  
ANger destroys the Fool, and he that hath  
A wrathful heart is slain with his own wrath.  
Best are the goods, mixed with contented rest,  
Not that which most do covet is the best.  
Count what's more sweet and fair than a flower,  
And yet it blooms and fades within an hour.  
Delight and pleasure's but a golden dream,  
Which waking, makes our wants the more extreme.  
Each man his Plot, each one his course doth bend,  
Each hath his project, and each one his end.  
Fond man, first seek to purchase that Divine  
Prize, Wisdom, and than all the world is thine.  
Gasp not for honour, wish no blazing glory,  
For these will perish in an age's story.  
How poor a thing is man, how vain, how brittle,  
How seeming great is he, how truly little!  
In loving God, if I neglect my neighbour,  
My Zeal hath lost its proof, and I my labour.  
Knowledge, when wisdom is too weak to guide her,  
Is like a headstrong Horse that throws his Rider.  
Lord give me Wisdom to direct my ways,  
I beg not Richeses, nor yet length of days.  
My life's a Flower, the time it hath to last,  
Is mixed with Frost, and shook with every blast.  
Nor House, nor Land, nor measured heaps of Wealth  
Can tender to a dying man his health.  
Our life on Earth is like a thread of Flax,  
That all may touch, and being touched, it cracks.  
Pleasure is fleeting still, and makes no stay,  
It lends a smile or twain, and steals away.  
Quench soon the flames of Lust, and have a care  
Of wanton Women, they will prove a snare.  
Reprove not in their wrath incensed men,  
Good Counsel comes quite out of season than.  
Spare not, nor spend too much, be this thy care,  
Spare but to spend, and only spend to spare.  
To tell thy miseries, will no comfort breed,  
Men help thee most that think thou hast no need.  
Use not to swear, an Oath's a dangerous dart,  
Which shot, rebounds to strike the shooters heart.  
Whoever makes his Father's heart to bleed,  
Shall have a Child that will revenge the deed.  
Xerxes did vainly lash the Seas, but they  
His foolish threaten scorned to obey.  
Youth think old men are Fools, but Old men know  
By dear experience, that Youth are so.  
Zeal is a fire, and useful in its kind,  
But nothing is more dangerous, if blind.   

Of Great Letters.  
GReat Letters, or Capitals, are of use, either to begin Sentences or proper Names, or else of some things that are remarkable. And sometimes some very remarkable sentences are written all in Capitals, as in Zachary, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. In Jeremiah, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. In Revelations, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS; and so in several other places: They do also serve to begin Titles of Books, as THE HOLY BIBLE, or THE NEW TESTAMENT; or to Divine Books, as THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS.  
Capital Letters begin Sentences; as, Our Father which art in Heaven, etc. and, I believe in God the Father, etc.  
As also proper names of Men, as Adam, Moses, David, Jesus, Peter, Paul, John, Matthew, Luke, Charles, James, Jupiter, Mars, Apollo, Bacchus, etc.  
Great Letters are also used in noting the proper names of Countries, Cities, Towns, Arts, Sciences, Dignities, Offices, Days, Months, Winds, Places, Rivers, as for example, Asia, Africa, Europe, America, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Holland, Germany, Paris, Vienna, Madrid, Amsterdam, Constantinopole, Rome, Windsor, Dunkirk, Calis, Printer, Weaver, Astronomy, Grammar, Music, Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, King, Queen, Prince, Parliament, Pope, Cardinal, Duke, Earl, Lord, Knight, Esquire, Bishop, Dean, Prebend, Doctor, Parson, Vicar, Ambassador, Treasurer, Agent, General, Colonel, Captain, Lieutenant, Ensign, Monday, Tuesday, January, February, Christmas, Easter, Whitsuntide, Lent, North, South, East, West, White-Hall, Hampton, Greenwich, Thames, Severn, Tiber, Po.  
And every Book, Chapter, Section, and Paragraph, must begin with a great Letter, as also after every period or full stop.  
Also when the words of another are quoted, they aught to begin with a great Letter, as Gen. 42.32. And the man, the Lord of the Country said unto us, Hereby shall I know that you are true men, etc.  
Also in Poetry every line is usually begun with a great Letter, though the former line ended in the middle of a sentence, as, 
Fly Idleness, which yet thou canst not fly  
By Dressing, Mistressing and Compliment;  
If those take up thy day, the Sun will cry  
Against thee; for his light was only lent.  
God gave the Soul brave wings, put not those feathers  
Into a Bed, to sleep out all ill weathers    

The Figures and Letters whereby Numbers are expressed, are these;  

1 one I  
2 two II  
3 three III  
4 four FOUR or IV.  
5 five V  
6 six VI  
7 seven VII.  
8 eight VIII.  
9 nine IX.  
10 ten X.  
11 eleven XI.  
12 twelve XII.  
13 thirteen XIII.  
14 fourteen FOURTEEN.  
15 fifteen XU.  
16 sixteen XVI.  
17 seventeen XVII.  
18 eighteen XVIII.  
19 nineteen XIX  
20 twenty XX  
30 thirty XXX  
40 forty XL  
50 fifty L  
60 sixty LX  
70 seventy LXX  
80 eighty LXXX  
90 ninety XC  
100 hundred C  
200 two hundred CC  
500 five hundred D. or D  
1000 thousand M. or M  
5000 five thousand ↁ  
10000 ten thousand ↂ  
50000 fifty thousand ↇ  
100000 an hundred thousand ↈ  
500000 five hundred thousand {roman 500000}  
1000000 than hundred thousand or a Million {roman 1000000}  
1677 one thousand six hundred seventy seven MDCLXXVII.   
Note that the lesser number set before, takes away so much as itself is, from the greater, but being set after, adds so much to it, as IV makes four, but VI six; IX nine, but XI eleven.  
If you would express one and a half, or two and a half, it must be thus: 1 ½ 2 ½ Two and three qearters thus: 2 ¾  
Having learned to know the figures and marks whereby numbers are expressed, the next thing that is necessary is, how to make use of them in the way of Trade, or business, to which end we must know all numbers are expressed by these Characters, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0. Which last Cipher signifies nothing of itself but serves to fill up the number of places: and therefore every Figure hath a double value, one single and certain, and the other uncertain according as it is placed.  
Now because it is not intended to give you a body of Arithmetic, I shall only show how to cast up a small sum, as suppose you have received  l s d Of one man 0 1 6 Of another 0 2 3 Of another 1 3 2 Of another 0 9 8 Of another 3 7 11 Of another 2 4 2 If you would know what all these Sums amount to, you must do thus: go to the outmost row of figures on the right hand, and say,  
2 and 11 is 13, than make a point against 11, and carry one to the next, and say, 1 I carried, and 8 is 9, and 2 is 11, and 3 is 14; than make another point at 3, and carry 2, and say, 2 and 6 is 8, which 8 set down at the bottom under the said figures, and say, 2 I carry from the pence, and 4 is 6, and 7 is 13, and 9 is 22, put a point at 9, and carry 2, and say, 2 and 3 is 5, and 2 is 7, and 1 is 8, which 8 put under this row; than go to the next row, and say, 1 pound I carry and 2 is 3, and 3 is 6, and 1 is 7: which put underneath, and than the Sum appears thus: l s d 0 1 6 0 2 3 1 3 2 0 9 8 3 7 11 2 4 2 7 8 8  
And so it is in laying out of Money, of which there needs no more Examples. But I shall only give an account of English Money, Weights and Measures, in some plain and easy Tables; and Money being a principal thing, first of that.  


1 Farthing make 1 Farthing  
2 Farthings make 1 Halfpenny

3 Scruples make 1 Dram Thus marked ʒ  
8 Drams make 1 Ounce Thus marked ℥  
12 Ounces make 1 Pound Thus marked lb      

Of Measures  

And first of Liquid Measures by which is sold Beer, Ale, and other Liquors, whereof the least common Measure is a Pint, which is a pound Troy weight.  


2 Pints make 1 Quart  
2 Quarts make 1 Pottle  
2 Pottles make 1 Gallon  
8 Gallons make 1 Firkin of ale, soap, or, herrings  
9 Gallons make 1 Firkin of Beer

2 Pints make 1 Quatt  
2 Quarts make 1 Pottle  
2 Potles make 1 Gallon  
2 Gallons make 1 peck  
4 Pecks make 1 Bushel Land-measure  
5 Pecks make 1 Bush. water-measure  
8 Bushels make 1 Quarter  
4 Quarters make 1 Cauldron  
5 Quarters make 1 Wey     

Of Long Measures.  
Cloth, Tapestry, Board, Glass, Pavement, Land, etc. are Measured by long measure, of which a Barley corn is the lest.

40 Poles or Perches make 1 English mile  
8 Furlongs make 1 Rod or a quarter of  
40 Square poles or perches make an Acre  
4 Roods make 1 Acre     

Of Time.  
Time consists of Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, and Minutes, which last is the lest part of Time, and therefore, 

60 Minutes make 1 Hour  
24 Hours make 1 Day natural  
7 Days make 1 Week  
4 Weeks make 1 Month of 28 days  
13 Months 1 day and 6 hours make 1 Year    
The year is commonly divided into 12 unequal Calendar months, whose names and the number of days they contain follow.  


January 31 days  
February 28 days  
March 31 days  
April 30 days  
May 31 days  
June 30 days  
July 31 days  
August 31 days  
September 30 days  
October 31 days  
November 30 days  
December 31 days    
Which are briefly summed up in these four Verses.  
Thirty days hath September,  
April, June and November,  
February hath Twenty eight alone,  
All the rest have Thirty one.  
So that the year contains 365 days, and six hours, but the six hours are not reckoned, but only every fourth year, and than a day is added to February, which than contains 29 days, and that year is called Leap-year, and contains 366 days.  
The Four Quarter days in the year are March 25. called Lady-day, June 24. called Midsummer-day, September 29. called Michaelmas-day, December 25. called Christmas.  
The Countrymen do also sometimes divide the year into four other Quarters, that is Feb. 2. called Candlemas-day, May 1. called May-day, August 1. called Lammas, Nou. 1. called All-Saints-day.    

Apothecaries use Marks or Figures to express words, weight, or measure, as thus, ℞ [Recipe] or take, ana, or a like quantity; p [a pugil, or] half a handful; m. [manipulus] a handful; gr. a grain, ℈ a scruple, ʒ a dram, ℥ an ounce, β [semissis] half a pound, lb [libra] a pound, q. s. [quantum satis] a sufficient quantity, q. l. [quantum libet] as much as you please.  
Astronomers and Astrologers express the seven Planets and Signs by these Marks or Characters. The Planets are these, ♄ Saturn, ♃ Jupiter, ♂ Mars, ☉ Sol, ♀ Venus, ☿ Mercurius, ☽ Luna. The 12 Signs are these, ♈ Aries, ♉ Taurus, ♊ Gemini, ♋ Cancer, ♌ Leo, ♍ Virgo, ♎ Libra, ♏ Scorpio, ♐ Sagittarius, ♑ Capricornus, ♒ Aquarius, ♓ Pisces: The Sextil ⚹, Quadral □ Trine △, Opposition ☍, Conjunction ☌.  
Musicians distinguish their Notes by these Marks, 𝆹 Semibref 톹텥 Minim. 톺텥 Crotchet.  
In our English Writing there are also many abbreviations that we make use of, which we borrow from the Latin, as e. g. (exempli gratia) for example; and over our Accounts we commonly writ l. s. d. q.  
2. 4. 6. 2.  
Which is as much as (libri, solidi, denarii, quadrantes) pounds, shillings, pence, farthings; so that the sum is two pounds, four shillings, six pence, two farthings, or halfpenny; so also we writ viz. (videlicet) to wit, or that is to say, p. (pagina) a page, §. (sectio) section; u (vide) see; i e. (id est) that is, sc. (scilicet) that is to say, M. S. Manuscript, or a Written Book or Copy; R. S. S. (Regis Societatis Socius) Fellow of the Royal Society; N. B. (nota bene) note well, or mark well; M. A. (Magister Artium) Master of Arts; B. D. (Baccalaurius Divinitatis) Bachelor of Divinity; L. D. (Legis Doctor) Doctor of the Civil Law; D. D. or SS. Th. D. (Sacrosanctae Theologiae Doctor) Doctor of Divinity; Qu. (Questio) Question; Ob. (Objectio) Objection; Sol. (Solutio) Solution or Answer.  
There are also other Contractions of English words which we often meet with, as Admrs Administrators, Agt against, Bp. Bishop, Comrs Commissioners, Doctor Doctor, Esq; Esquire, Hbl Honourable, Hd Honoured, Ld Lord, Lps Lordships, Lr Letter, Md Memorandum, Mr. Master, Mrs' Mistress, Mtie Majesty, bd obedient, pd paid, qr quarter, Sir Sir, St Saint, yn than, yt that, ye the, wn when, wp worship, will worshipful, your your, 7ber September, 8ber October, 9ber November, 10ber December.

Lieutenant: we also oftentimes contract two words into one, as I'll for I will, I'm for I am, t'other the other, let's for let us, and many other.  
We also contract the names of places, as Cant. Canterbury, Oxon Oxford, Exon Exeter, Bucks Buckinghamshire, Salop Shropshire, C. C. C. Corpus Christi College, Q. C. Queen's College, D. C. Dean of Christ-Church: As also in the names of Books, as Mat. Matthew, Cor. Corinthians, Col. Colossians, Rom. Romans, Reu. Revelations, Gen. Genesis, Chro. Chronicles, Eccles. Ecclesiastes, Ecclus Ecclesiasticus.

The Scholar's Prayer for Morning.  
MOst holy and eternal Lord, I thy most poor and unworthy Creature, do give thee most humble and hearty thanks, that it hath pleased thy great goodness to preserve me this Night past, as well from all my enemies, as from all other casualties and dangers that poor mortal creatures are subject to, and that thou hast given me sweet and pleasant sleep, that I found my body refreshed and comforted for performing the duties of this day. It is thou that hast said, if any man want wisdom, let him ask it of God that giveth to all men liberally, and reproacheth no man, and it shall be given unto him. I beseech thee, breath into my soul the spirit of understanding, that in my Childhood I may learn, and as I grow further in years, I may practise the study of those things only that are agreeable to thy Laws: grant that I may always carefully seek for the Pearls of true knowledge; pour into me thy holy Spirit, that all my travel and pains being blest in study by thee, I may be thankful to thee. OH loving Father, be thou my Schoolmaster to instruct me, and when I have attained to some measure of gifts, let me not be proud in mine own conceit, but carry myself humbly, knowing I have nothing but what I have received. Bless my dear Parents, my Kindred and Friends, and grant that I may live so in this world to thy honour, that I may be a comfort to them, and may at last inherit the Kingdom prepared for all those that love thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.   

A Prayer for the Evening.  
GRacious Lord God, and heavenly Father, I cannot cease, but I must cry unto thee for mercy, because my sins cry out against me for Justice: how shall I address myself to thee, but with the Publican I must stand and admire thy goodness toward me, in that thou hast kept me this day passed from being consumed, or brought to naught: for Lord, what is man, or the Son of man thou regardest him! for the more days pass over my head, the more sins and iniquities I heap up against thee. OH blessed Father, let thy Son's Blood wash me and cleanse me from all my impurities, and from all the stains of sin that are upon me, own me as thy Child, and shadow me with thy wings, that I may safely take my rest in thy protection this night, that I may behold the next day with comfort, and may serve in it, and endeavout to grow up more and more in learning and true knowledge. Bless my Parents, Kindred, Friends and Relations; and grant that when they and I have passed our Pilgrimage here, we may all attain to thy heavenly Kingdom: and all I beg in the name of Jesus Christ, in whose most holy words I further pray, Our Father, etc.
