Thus Children (being indeed the bdl; kind 0f Inheritance) are commonly by their Parents, as it were Cantoniz’d, defign’d, and’laid out to feveralends and purpofes, This to bear the Honour of the Family, that to falute the Vniverfity, to court the Law fome, to drndge in Tradesoth‘ers ; thefe for Trailique, thofe for Handy—crafts ; ,ore for this, another for that. True indeed were Parents God-Almighties, to fee into the natural inclinations of their Children: or had the Almighty given them as much infight into the Inheritance thatcame Out of their Loyns, as experience hath begot them knowledge in the Inheritance that came by LeafeJPnrchafe Deed or Legacy, f0 that they mi ghtwith as much probability ofreafon, expeé‘t the, fruits. of Art from the one, as the fruits of nature from the other.

Italian-Maflers,firfl, for the molt part, inform their Scholars by a Charafiierif’rick Alphabe- tical Figure, comprehending molt of the twenty‘ four Letters: by which ingenious Com- pendium, well demonfirated, [0 firm a Ground-work is in a fhort time laid, as that no Letter feems difficult to the Learner. Which contrivance, in part you may fee at the‘end of/the firl-t Roman Alphabet in this Book. After the Knowledge whereof, they make the Letters, fiegly 5 firfi, the Minnum,or {mall i, in the performance and compleat carriage whereof,when prafih’e. hath rendredthem perfeéit, theyeliay the making ofan exaéiOu’al, which lyes flaming, ac- eording to the nature of the Hand, and more two being perfeé’tly learned, the better half of their bulinefs is accomplifhed 5 aften which, they proceed to their. making of um, m, r, and r 3 e C then ’ d when they can compleatly command thoie {hart-bodied letters, the fmall l, is diligently praaifed, which leads to the making ofall letters with items, as the b, b, d,]‘, f, and [3. After the fullattainment of them, the compafs-letrers with tails are en- countred, as the g, q, p, 7, SEC. And when the true carriage, proportionately of firokes, with the correfpondency of Letters, and their parts, are by the Learner effeo‘tually underflood, they ut him on the Conjunfiitve part, by joyning thofe Letters together in Couples only, which were .. firf’r learned, and then mixing them with thelong Letters, not exceeding one fyllable, till they _ are enabled by the often wiring of thoie Letters, to write {hort words, and by degrees Ion- } get, and afterwards whole lines, or joyned Copies; Which Way, I would wifh every Pra— dtitioner to obferve, in the whole courfe of his Prafiife, as to this Hand.

When your Letters turn off in Ovals hanging over them , as the Clouds in {ome well- Painted Landskip, enter the Pen at that place where you imagine its proper for the Stem to tend downward -, then beginning With the left ' corner and edge thereof , immediately turn 5 it inwards to a flat , with its Mouth outward , from the left hand, and [0 wheel the firoke olf, ‘ orinto its {elf as you pleafe, being mindful that every leiTer turnin bears the fame form with their Circumvolving Line 5 and let every one decline in {bade , i? therebe many in one flroke, even to invifibility. ’ ~ ‘6.

' But firf’t ufe your hand to fweepa Circle of about two or three inches Diameter, and an 0— rmil of proportionable- dimenfion,and think it not time ill fpent, if you make a thouiand and none exaé’tly true.
