Reproduction of the original in the British Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

The LORD'S PRAYER . OUR Father which art in Heaven . Hallowed be Thy Name . Thy Kingdom come . Thy Will be done on ●rth as it is in Heaven . Give us this day , our daily Bread. And forgive us our Trespasses , as we forgive them that trespass against us . And lead us not into Temptation , but deliver us from Evil. For Thine is the Kingdom , the Power , and the glory for Ever and Ever . Amen . The CREED . I Believe in God the Father Almighty , Maker of Heaven and Faith : And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord , who was Conceived by the Holy Ghost , Born of the Virgin Mary 〈◊〉 under Pontius Pilate , was Crucified , Dead and Buried he descended into Hell ; the third day he rose again from the 〈◊〉 , he ascended into Heaven , and sitteth on the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty ; from thence he shall come 〈◊〉 Judge both the Quick and the Dead I Believe in the Holy Ghost , the Holy Catholick Church ; the Communion of 〈◊〉 the Forgiveness of Sins : the Resurrection of the Body , and the Life Everlasting . Amen . The Ten COMMANDMENTS . GOD spake these words and said , I am the Lord thy 〈◊〉 which brought thee out of the Land of Egypt , out of 〈◊〉 House of Bondage . I. Thou shalt have no other Gods but me . II. Thou shalt 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to thy self any Graven Image , nor the Likeness of any thing that is in Heaven above , or in the Earth beneath , or in the Waters under the Earth ; Thou shalt not bow down to them , nor worship them , for I the Lord thy God am a Jealous God , visiting the Sins of the Fathers upon the Children , unto the Third and Fourth Generation of them that hate me , and shew Mercy un●o Thousands of them that love me , and keep my Commandments III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain , for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain . IV.

For in six days the Lord made Heaven and Earth , the Sea , and all that in them is , and rested the seventh day ; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day and hallowed it . V. Honour thy Father and thy Mother , that thy days may be long in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee . VI. Thou shalt do no Murther . VII . Thou shalt not commit Adultery . VIII . Thou shalt not Steal . IX . Thou shalt not bear False Witness against thy Neighbour . X.

FIrst in the Morning when thou dost awake To God for his Grace thy Petition make , Some Heavenly Prayer use daily to sa● ▪ And the God of Heaven will 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . And when ●ou hast prayed to God for his Grace , Observe these Directions in every place . Down from thy Chamber when as thou shalt go , Thy Parents salute and the Houshold also . Thy Hands see thou wash , thy Head also comb , Keep clean thy Apparel both abroad and at home . This done , thy Satchel , and thy Books take , And unto the School see that thou haste make . In thy going to School . IN going your way and passing the Street , Thy Hat being off , Salute those you meet . When unto the School that thou dost resort , Thy Master Salute I do thee exhort : Thy Fellows also in token of Love , Lest of unkindness they do thee reprove . Learn now in thy Youth for it is too true , It will be too late when Age doth ensue . If somewhat thou doubt , desire to be told , To learn is no shame , be thou never so old . And when from the School thou takest the way , Make haste to thy home , and stay not to play . Then entring the House in Parents presence , Them humbly Salute with due Reverence . At the Table . WHen down to the Table thy Parents shall sit , Be ready in place for purpose most fit . Be meek in thy Carriage , stare none in the Face , First hold up thy Hands , and then say thy Grace . The Grace being said if able thou be , To serve at the Table it will become thee . If thou canst not wait presume in no case , But in sitting down to Betters give place . Then suffer each Man first served to . be , For it is a point of great Courtesie . Thy Tongue suffer not at Table to walk , And do not of any thing jangle or talk ; For Cato doth say that in old and young , The first step to Vertue is bridling the Tongue . In the Church . VVHen unto the Church thou shalt take the way ▪ Kneeling or standing to God humbly pray . A Heart that is Contrite he will not despise , But doth account it a sweet Sacrifice . Unto him thy Sins see that thou confess , For them asking pardon and forgiveness . Then ask thou in Faith not doubting to have , And thou shalt receive what e're thou dost crave . He is fuller of Mercy than Tongue can express , The Author and Giver of Grace and Goodness . Thy self in the Church most comely behave , Sober in Carriage , with Countenance grave . The Lord doth it call the House of Prayer , And must not be used like Market or Fair. Chap. 21. Solomon's Precepts .

Some few Examples of Gods Punishment upon Sinners for breach of the several Commandments . OUR Duty towards God , is to beli● in him , to fear him , and to love him with all our Hearts , 〈◊〉 our Minds , with all our Souls , and with all our strength ; to worship him , and him only , to give him thanks , to put our whole tr●st in hi● , to call upon him , to honour his holy Name and his Word , and to serve him truely all the days of ●ur Lives . Therefore is Atheism , the worshipping of false Gods ▪ or the want of a true Knowledge , Faith , Fear , and Love of the true God a Breach of this Commandment . Many Examples we have in Scripture of Gods vengeance upon those who have worshipped strange Gods. Nadab and Abihu the Sons of Aaron for Offering strange Fire before the Lord in the Wilderness , contrary to his express Commandment , were miserably consumed by Fire from Heaven , Lev. 10. 1 , 2. The Children of Israel being enticed by the Moabites , to offer Sacrifice to their Gods , joined themselves to Baal Peor , and therefore the anger of the Lord being kindled against them , their Princes were hanged , and twenty four Thousand Men were slain , amongst whom were Zimri and Cosbi , Numb 25. and many other Examples of the like Nature there are in Scripture . Pherecydes a Philosopher boasted impudently amongst his Scholars , of his Prosperity , Learning and Wisdom , saying , That though he served not God , yet he led a more quiet and prosperous Life than those that were addicted to Religion , and therefore he passed not for any such Vanity , but soon after his Impiety was justly punished , for the Lord struck ▪ him with such a strong Disease , that out of his Body issued such a slimy and filthy Sweat , and ingendred such a number of Lice and Worms , that his Bowels being consumed by them , he most miserably Died. Idolatry the Breach of the Second Commandment . AMongst the many Examples we have in Scripture of Gods punishment upon Sinners for Idolatrous worship take these two , viz. About three Thousand of the Israelites were slain in the Wilderness for making to themselves , and Idolizing the Golden Calf which Aaro● made , Exod. 32. Ahaziah the Son of Ahab King of Israel for serving and worshipping of Baalzebub the God of Ekron was made an Example of Gods wrath , and died , according to the Word of the Lord by the Prophet Elijah , 2 Kings 1. Many other such Examples there are in the Books of the Kings , and the Chronicles . For as a King will not suffer another to bear the Title in his Realm , so God will not permit any other in the World to be honoured but himself only . Per●ury the Breach of the Third Commandment . THE Eternal God hath commanded that we should so bridle and govern our Tongue , that whatsoever we speak may be to his Honour and Glory , and not that we should rashly bind our selves by his most holy Name with Oaths and Execrations , or abuse him by any other imp●ous means in va● M●tters , for he hath threatned condign punishment to thos● that sh●ll so prophane his most holy Name . The Son of Shelomith the Israelitish Woman , when he had Blasphemed the Name of the Lord with Oaths and Curses , was by all the people , and by the immediate command of God stoned to death . Whosoever Curseth his God shall bear his sin , and he that Blasphemeth the Name of the Lord ▪ he shall surely be put to death , and all the Congregation shall certainly stone him ; as well the stranger , as he that is Born in the Land , when he Blasphemeth the Name of the Lord , shall be put to death , Levit. 24. See Matth. 5. 33 , &c. A certain Nobleman being at a Market Town at play , and having lost a great Sum of Money , in great Passion commands his Servant to get the Horses ready in order to go out of Town , in the mean time bel●hing out most horrible and abominable Oaths , and Execrations , his Servant disswades him from going Home , telling him that it would be dangerous Travelling in the Night , because of the uncouthness of the way , and the dangerous Waters that they must pass by ; but he fell into a greater Passion , Swearing and Cursing more and more , and commanded his Servant to be obedient to what he said , the Servant obeyeth , and having mounted their Horses , they depart the ●own , being in all three of them ▪ they had not gone far , but a great Company of Horsemen being Hellish Apparitions , came to them , and making a most horrible noise seized upon the said Nobleman in the middle of them , and flung him violently from his Horse , being senseless , but there being with him ( besides his Servant ) ▪ a young Man of very great Courage , relying upon God and the Integrity of his own good Conscience , run Couragiously into the midst of this Devilis● Cavalry and rescued his Lord , setting him again upon his Horse , but having lost their way they wandred up and down all Night , and still as they rode along they could hear the troublesome noise of these Infernal Troopers , but God preserved the said young Man that they had no power to hurt him ▪ and in the Morning they brought the Nobleman to a Monastery , where he languished three days and died . Such is the end of those that prophane the Holy Name of God by horrible Oaths and Imprecations . There was a Ten years Truce concluded between Ladislaus King of Hungary , and Amurath the Emperor of the Turks , which was confirmed by an Oath between them ; but Ladislaus having a fair opportunity , by the Instigation of Pope Eugenius , breaks the League , thereby violating his Oath , and raiseth a great Army against Amurath , and with very great speed marches through Walachia , and Bulgaria , to a Town called Varna where Amurath met and engaged him , the Battel was very fierce and doubtful , none perceiving for a great while which way it would incline ; at last Amurath finding the Battel like to go against him ▪ lift up his Hands and Eyes towards Heaven , and said , Behold O Iesus Christ ! These are the Articles which thy Christians have made with me , Swearing by thy Name to observe and keep them , and by this their Perjury they deny thee to be their God , wherefore if thou art a God as they say thou art , revenge this Injury done to me , and to thy Holy Name ; and immediately the Scale turned , Amurath gained the Victory , Ladislaus is slain , and with him Eleven Thousand Christians . Sabbath-breaking a Breach of the Fourth Commandment . GOD has commanded to set apart a time for his more publick Worship , though our whole Life should be a serving of him , yet some time is requisite to be set apart , and observed , for an unanimous , solemn , and publick serving , and this time must be a set time , and a seventh part of our time , which we call the Sabbath ; and God has threatned vengeance to those that by their Impiety shall violate this his Holy Commandment . Verily , saith the Lord , my Sabhath ye shall keep , for it is a sign between me and you throughout your Generations , that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifieth you . Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore ; for it is holy unto you , every one that defileth it shall be surely put to death , for whosoever doth any Work therein , that Soul shall be cut off from amongst his people , Exod. 31. 13 , 14. A sad Example of Gods displeasure for the Breach of this Commandment we have in the fifteenth of Numbers , where an 〈◊〉 being found gathering of Sticks upon the Sabbath day ▪ was by the immediate Command of God stoned to Death by the people . The History of the Kings of Iudah and Israel contain many Examples of the Almighties Punishment upon those who have not feared , to contemn his Word , and to prophane his Holy Sabbath . And the Histories of latter Times are not wanting in their Examples of Gods Punishment of Sabbath-breakers . In the year of our Salvation 1553. in a City in Switzerland about three Miles distant from Lucerne , three Gamesters playing at Dice upon a Bench in the Fields near the Walls of the City upon a Sabbath day , whereof one when he had lost a considerable Sum of Money , while he was yet provoking the Almighty with Oaths and Curses he chanced to have a fortunate throw according to his wish , and being thereat incouraged , he Swore that if the Dice run against him again he would fling or strike his Dagger as far as he could into the very Body of God. The Dice fail him , and forthwith he draws his Dagger , and taking it by the point he throws it with all his might towards Heaven ; the Dagger vanished in the Air , and was never more seen , and five drops of Blood fell upon the Bench where they were playing , and immediately the Devil seized upon him , and carried him away with that violence and noise that it affrighted the whole City into a Tumult . The other two were extreamly affrighted , and endeavoured to wipe the Blood from off the Bench , but in vain , for the more they endeavoured to clean it , the more plain did the Purple Colour of the Blood appear ; the whole City being filled with the noise of this Wickedness , and every own crowds towards the place , where they find the two Players that were left , endeavouring in vain to clean the Bench of the said five drops of Blood with Water ; and being Examined , the Magistrates decree them to be immediately bound , and cast under the Walls of the City , and as they were carrying them through the Gate , one of them fell down , being deprived of Strength , and such a company of Worms and Lice came from him , that they devoured him , and he died in that very place , a foul and miserable Death ; which the people seeing , without any more ado immediately destroyed the other . That part of the Bench whereon the Blood sell , was cut off , and remains to this day a Testimony and Monument of this great and abominable 〈◊〉 . Disobedience to Parents a Breach of the Fifth Commandment . THIS is the first Commandment that hath a promise annexed to it , whereby the Eternal God promiseth to those that are obedient thereunto Benediction , Prosperity , and long Life . And the Scripture is very plentiful of Examples of Gods Punishments upon those that have been guilty of the Breach thereof . Ham the youngest Son of Noah , seeing his Fathers Nakedness when he was overcome with Wine , called to his Brethren that were without and told them thereof ▪ scoffing , and making a Laughing-stock of his Father , insulting over his Vice and Imbecility , for which he and his Posterity were accursed , and became a Servant of Servants to his Brethren , Gen. 9. Absalom being in Rebellion against his Father King David , and pursued by his Fathers Servants , was taken from his Mule by the Boughs of an Oak under which he rode , and was hanged to Death , 2 Sam. 18. 9. A poor and Ancient Man being grievously oppressed with Poverty , went to his Son who was very Opulent , and Wealthy , praying him not to despise his Poverty , but to relieve him in his great Necessity , but the Son thinking it would be a great disgrace to him , to have it publickly known that he was dedescended of such Poor Parentage , and therefore ordered his Servants to give him harsh and threatning Language , and set him gone , the poor old Man departs grieving , and weeping extreamly at the unkindness , and undutifulness of his Son. But behold the Justice of God overtook him , for the old Man was no sooner gone but his Son fell mad , and so died . Murder the Breach of the Sixth Commandment . CAIN the first Murderer that ever was , run headlong into extream desperation , having no certain place of Abode , wandring up and down upon the Earth , having his Head and Heart filled with Fear and despair . And the Lord said unto Cain , what hast thou done ? The voice of thy Brothers Blood cryeth unto me from the Ground , now therefore art thou Cursed from the Earth , which hath opened her Mouth to r●ceive thy Brothers Blood , from thy hand . When thou Tillest the Ground it shall not henceforth vield unto thee her strength ; a Fugitive and a Vagabond shalt thou be in the Earth , Gen. 4. A Bakers Servant at V●enna in Austria knowing his Master to be very Rich , having good store of Money by him , left his Service , not without a design to come another time and rob him , and a few days afterwards he breaks privily ( in the Night time ) into the House , and finding that he had disturbed the Man-servant , lays wait for him , and kills him , and after that the Maid-servant likewise , and being now fully resolved to destroy all the Family , enters with this Bloody Resolution into the Bakers Lodging Chamber , and Murdered him and his Wife in their Beds , and not being satisfied with the Blood of these four , must needs Murder a little Girl which was their Daughter , the Child seeing his Intentions , or at least fearing that he would serve her as he had her Father and Mother , cryed out , O Paul , Paul , save me , and I will give you all my Play-things , but he would not hear the little Child , but Murdered it . And when he had done all this , he broke open the Chest wherein the Money was , took it out , and went away with his Booty , and made his escape to Ratisbon . The Neighbours admiring to see the Shop shut up all the next day , at last by Authority broke open the Doors , where they found the Murdered Bodies to their great Horrour and Amazement . The Murderer was in a short time after taken at Ratisbon , and brought from thence to Vienna , where he took his Tryal , and he confessed his Charge , and was Condemned to be Hanged Alive in Chains , which was accordingly performed ; he said nothing troubled him more than the cries of the Child , offering him her Play-things to save her Life , which he said , he continually heard , and could by no means put it out of his Mind . The bloody and ▪ deceitful Men shall not live out half their day● Psal. 55. 23. Adultery the Breach of the Seventh Commandment . THE Punishment of David for his committing of Adultery with Bathsheba the Wife of Uriah , was very great , as also was his Repentance , 2 Sam. 1● . 12. The Wife of a certain Nobleman having more than ordinary Familiarity with another besides her Husband , her Lord being absent , she having written two Letters at one time , the one to her Husband , and the other to her Familiar Friend , she chanced to superscribe them both wrong ; viz. that which was for her Husband , to her sweet Heart , and that which was for her Sweet-heart she superscribed to her Husband , by which he discovered her unfaithfulness to his Bed , and went home and killed her with his own Hand . An Honest Citizen of Ulm in Germany having a very Lewd Wife , had often admonished her to mend her sinful Course of Life , but in vain ; and at last being resolved to make a positive proof of her Chastity ▪ he gave out that he would take a Journey into the Countrey for two days at least , and away he went in the Morning , but returned at Night , and ( undiscovered by his Wife ) got into the House , and hid himself in some convenient place where he might easily perceive how passages were , and found the Servants ( who were privy to their Mistresses Lewd Course of Life , ) making great Preparations for a Splendid Entertainment , by and by in comes the Adulterer , who was kindly received , and made very welcome ; the good Man observing what passed , was highly provoked , but yet bore all very patiently ; soon after Supper was ended they go to Bed , which the good Man perceiving , run in great Passion from the place where he lay undiscovered , and first ki●ed the Adulterer , and then his Wife ; for this he was called to Answer , but the Magistrate thinking his Provocation great , and Revenge just , exempted him from Punishment . Marriage is honourable in all , and the Bed undefiled ; but Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge , Heb. 13. 4. Theft the Breach of the Eighth Commandment . WE have many Examples both in Sacred Writ and other Histories , of Almighty Gods high Resentment of the Breach of this Commandment . But amongst them none more Famous than that of Achan the Son of Carmi , of the Tribe of Iudah , who was found guilty of the accursed thing , in privily Stealing a Babylonish Garment , two hundred Shekels of Silver , and a Wedge of Gold of fifty Shekels , and hid them in the Earth in the midst of his Tent , but the Lord discovered his Theft , and brought him to Condign Punishment , for he was stoned to Death , and his Sons , and his Daughters , his Oxen , and his Asses , his Sheep , his Tent , and all that he had were Burnt with Fire , Iosh. 7. It is Recorded by Martin Luther , that a very wicked but young Thief , was taken in the Town of Belkig in Germany , where being Tryed for his Life , he was found guilty ; but in consideration of his Youth , and in Hopes , and by his Promise , of a Reformation for the future , he was pardoned and set at Liberty ; but in a very little time he fell to his old Trade of Thieving and Stealing , and professed himself an utter Enemy to the said Town of Belkig , and set it on Fire , and Burnt several Houses in it , at length he was taken again by the Brandenburghers , and being asked how he durst be so wicked as to set Fire to that Town that had been so kind to him as to give him his Life ? he answered , ( and no other Answer could they get from him , but ) that he had there received an unjust Sentence for his Thievery , for they ought not to have let him go , but to have Hang'd him . No less Famous is Gods Vengeance upon Urracha Queen of Spain , for her Sacriledge , for being necessitated for Money in her Wars which she had with her Son Alphonsus , she went into the Church of St. Isidore , and Commanded her Souldiers to seize upon the Riches thereof , but they being fearful to lay Hands on the Holy Treasure , refused to obey her , wherefore she pulled it to pieces with her own Hand , but behold the Justice of God overtook her immediately , for as she was going out of the Church she was struck dead in the very place . Hell and Destruction are never full , so the Eyes of Man are never satisfied . False-witness a Breach of the Ninth Commandment . WE have many Examples of Gods Judgment upon Sinners for the Breach of this Commandment ; one of thae most Famous in Holy Writ is that of Ahab and Iezabel , for procuring False Witness against Naboth , and thereby taking away his Life , on purpose that Ahab might have his Vineyard which he had long coveted , 1 Kings 21. It is Recorded in the Chronicles of Scotland how that one Campbel a Fryar by falsly accusing of one Hamilton , caused him to be Burnt to Death , but Hamilton being in the Fire ready to be Executed , Cited or Summoned the said Fryar to appear ( betwixt that and such a day which he then named ) before the most high God , the Righteous Judge of all Men , to Answer to the Innocency of his Death , and whether his Accusation were just or not ; now behold the just Hand of God , for before the day nominated by the said Hamilton came , the Fryar died miserably without any Remorse of Conscience . These six things doth the Lord hate ; yea seven are an Abomination unto him : A Proud Look , a Lying Tongue , and Hands that shed Innocent Blood , an Heart that deviseth Wicked Imaginations , Feet that be swift in running to Mischief , a False Witness that speaketh Lies , and him that soweth Discord among Brethren , Prov. 6. 16 , 17 , 18 , 19. Covetousness a Breach of the Tenth Commandment . THE Jews when they had forsaken the Law of the Lord , were miserably afflicted , for there were slain of Iudah in one day , by Pe●ah the Son of Ramaliah an Hundred and Twenty Thousand ; and afterwards the Children of Israel took of their Brethren of the House of Iudah Two Hundred Thousand Women , Sons and Daughters , and a vast deal of Treasure , and carried it to Samaria , but they were severely reproved by the Prophet Obed , who denounced the heavy Anger of the Lord against them , and they returned their Captives and Prey into Iudea . As you may see at large , 2 Chron. 28. King Zedekiah is reprehended as a Violator of this Commandment , for grievously oppressing his Subjects , by Building Stately and Magnificent Structures , at the Charge and Labour of the Poor ; as you may see in Ierem. 22. The Sons of Samuel being Covetously minded took Bribes , and perverted Judgment , which made the Children of Israel desirous to change their present Government into a Kingdom , 1 Sam. 8. King Ahab coveting Naboth's Vineyard , and being Naboth would not sell it him because it was the Inheritance of his Fathers ; by the counsel , advice , or instigation of his Wife Iezabel Witnesses are Suborned falsly to accuse him , and Naboth is stoned to Death , so that now Ahab may have the Vineyard at his pleasure ; but behold the Hand of God in revenging his Covetousness and false Accusation , fell upon all his Posterity , 1 Kings 21. W● to them that devise iniquity , and work evil upon their Beds : When the Morning is light they practise it , because it is in the power of their hands . And they covet Fields , and take them by violence ; and Houses , and take them away : So they oppress a Man and his House evon a Man and his Heritage . Therefore thus saith the Lord , Behold against this Family do I devise an evil , from which ye shall not remove your Necks , neither shall ye go haughtily : for this time is Evil. Chap. 24.

ALL Speech or Language is composed of Words , and every Word is composed of Syllables , except it be a Monosyllable , and every Syllable is composed of one or more Letters . The Letters are in number twenty four , as followeth , viz. a b c d e f g h i k l m n o p q r s t u w x y z , to which may be added j and v which make up the number twenty six . These Letters are divided into Vowels and Consonants . The Vowels are a e i o u and y after a Consonant . The Consonants are b c d f g h k l m n p q r s t w x z and y when it comes before a Vowel in the same Syllable , as in youth , young , yonder , also j and v are Consonants where-ever found . No Syllable can be spelt without a Vowel , and sometimes the Vowels alone make a Syllable , as a-gainst , e-ve-ry , i-vo-ry , o-ver , usury . And as no Syllable can be without a Vowel , so no Syllable hath more than one Vowel , as di-vi-si-on , except when two have one sound , which we call Dipthongs , as au-tho-ri-ty , soon , pro-ceed , neu-ter . And e or es in the end of a word , which for distinction sake may aptly be called e final , as hence , since , con-fute , names , bones . Or in Compound Words , as safe-guard , not sa-fe-guard , there-fore , not the-refore , &c. Wherefore when any word is given to be divided into Syllables , consider how many Vowels and Dipthongs are therein , so many Syllables must there be , except as before excepted . And to divide your Syllables exactly take the following Rules . I. When two Vowels come together in a word , being no Diphthong , but having each his full sound , then must they in Spelling be divided as mu-tu-al , tri-umph , tri-en-ni-al . II. When a double Consonant is in the middle of a word , then is it likewise in Spelling to be divided , as war-rant , common ; spel-ling , ne-ces-sa-ry . III. When a Consonant is in the middle of a word between two Vowels or Dipthongs , then must that Consonant be joined to the latter Vowel or Dipthong , as di-li-gent , re-ve-la-ti-on , de-li-ve-rance , sau-ci-ly , co-ve-tous . IV. When two or more Consonants , being such as can begin a word follow a Vowel , such Consonants must generally be joined to the latter Syllable , as mi-ni stra-ti-on , mi-ni ster , de-tract , de-spise , de-clare . See more Examples of this Rule in the 10th Chapter . V. When two or more Consonants being such as cannot begin a word , come between two Vowels then must they be divided , one to the former , and the other to the latter Vowel , as ab-sence , a●-ter , al-mond , con-tra-ry , con-strain , where note that when three or four Consonants are in the middle of a word between two Vowels , such of them as can begin a word must be joined to the latter Syllable , as con-tra-ry , where you see ntr cannot begin a word , but tr may , wherefore is n joined to the first , and tr to the latter Syllable . So in con strain , ●str cannot begin a word but str may , &c. From the foregoing general Rules there are these following Exceptions , viz. From the third Rule there are two Exceptions . 1. When x followeth a Vowel it must be always joined with the Vowel before it , as wax eth , fix-ed , ex am-ple , not wa-xeth , fi-xed , e xam p e , for the Letter x hath the sound of two Consonants , viz. c and s , which cannot begin a word , but if instead of x you would use c and s , then it would come under the fifth Rule , as for wax-eth , wac-seth , &c. 2 When e is in the end of a word you ought not to stop at the Vowel before it , as lame , not la-me , con-sume , not consu-me , &c. From the third and fourth Rules are excepted all words that begin with these Prepositions , viz. abs , ob , in , un , dis , mis , per , sub , and such as end with these terminations , ly , less , ness , ler , as ab-la-tive , ob-la-ti-on , in-a-bi-li-ty , in-au gu-rate , un-able , dis-a-ble , dis-trust , mis-place , mis-take , per am-bu-late , suborn , sub-lime , ug-ly , help-less , co ve-tous-ness , bab-ler . For these prepositions and terminations must have their full sound , and pronunciation . A Syllable is either long or short . A Syllable is said to be long when it is pronounced by a longer time than ordinary , and a Syllable is said to be short , when it is pronounced by a short time . There are three things which make a Syllable long , viz. 1. When e is placed at the end of a word , it always makes the last Syllable long , as made , bare , cane , note , tune , whereas if the e were neglected , it would be sounded short , as mad , bar , &c. 2. Secondly a Dipthong maketh a Syllable long , as train , cool , caul , feel , &c. where note that e ought never to be written at the end of a word if the last Syllable have a Diphthong in it , as con-strain , un seen , not con straine , unseene . Except when s follows the Diphthong , soft th , and c and g , as hoise , noise , seeth , voice , choice , siege . 3. Thirdly , gh after a Vowel in the end of a word makes the Syllable long , as high , night , thigh , sight . There are likewise three things which make a Syllable short . 1. First many Consonants joined together , as first , durst , distrust , contemptible . 2. Secondly , the doubling of a Consonant , as pil-low , billow , stag-ger , stam-mer . 3. Thirdly , when e is left out at the end of a word , as if from fare , bare , mate , you take away e the Syllable will be short , as far , bar , mat , also bed , quit , knit , &c. Words of one short Syllable need never have the last Consonant doubled , to shorten its sound , as met , trip , flip , at , top , gut , except in some few words where custom has prevailed to make a distinction from other words of the same sound but of different significations , as Ann , cann , butt , inn , interr . Chap. 27. Some Observations of the several Letters of the Alphabet . A A being placed before l and after a Consonant , is sounded broad and long like the Diphthong au , as call , shall , ball , bald , shalt , s●ald , malt , mall . Therefore when the Diphthong au is sounded before l , it is most commonly written with an a only , except in Paul , brawl , caul , assault , fault , bawl . A is seldom or never sounded after e or o in the same Syllable , that is in the improper Diphthongs ea and oa , as goat , great , re peal , gr●an , except in heart , hear-ken , where the e loseth its sound , also the A is scarce sounded in mar-ri-age , car-ri-age , par-li a-ment , these words being sounded marridg , carridg , parliment . Likewise in some words taken from the Hebrew , where it is either placed before its self or before o , as in Isaac , Canaan , Pharaoh , &c. which words are sounded Isac , Canan , Pharo . B B loseth its sound when it happens in the end of a word after m , or before t , as in womb , climb , thumb , dumb , lamb , limb , doubt , doubtful , debt , subtil , &c. C C is sounded like K when it comes before a , o , and u , as camp , come , count , cool , cure , except in some words taken from the Latin where e follows it , thereby making the Latin Diphthong ae or ae as Caesar or Caesar. And C being placed before e , i , and y , is sounded like s , as in place , ice , mice , city , certain , cypress , exceed . Likewise when C comes before l or r , it is always sounded like K , as clout , cream , clear , croud . Ch in words which are purely English hath a peculiar sound , whether placed before or after a Vowel , first before a Vowel , as child , chance , cheap , chuse , chosen , churl ; secondly after a Vowel , as reach , teach , such , touch , preach , breech , rich , roch . But where you find Ch , in some few words that are of an Hebrew , or Greek derivation , it is for the most part sounded like K , as Christ , Christopher , Chorus , Character , Achan , Lachish , Malchus . And when s is written before it , as Scheme , Scholar , &c. Except when a Consonant follows C● , as in Archbishop , Archdeacon , &c. C when written between a Vowel and K is not at all pronounced , as black , stick , sick , thick , beck , block , suck . Also when sc comes before e or i , then C loseth its sound , as Science , descent , conscience . But before a , o , or u , it keeps its sound , as scarce , score , fourscore , scul , scumin . And here note by the way that C is never placed between n and k , as thank , think , brink , not thanck , thinck , brinck , &c. D In all words where g follows d , there is d very scarcely if at all sounded , as badge , badger , bedge , bridge , dodge , budge . E When an e is found in the end of a pure English word it is very seldom sounded , only it serves either to prolong the Syllable , as bare , care , fare spare , cure , cole , which without e would be short , as bar , car , far , spar , cur , col . Also when s follows it in the end of a word it serves to prolong the last Syllable , as sumes , consumes , names , robes . Except me , ye , he , be , we , the. Or when it follows c , or g , it serves to soften their pronunciation , as rage , race , stage , scarce . When it follows l , or r , it is to be sounded deeply as if it went rather before them , as cable , able , noble , candle , acre , tygre . E loseth its sound in George , Tuesday , Scrivener , Beauty . Also it is generally added for beauties sake in the end of words after o , and u , as roe , due . And here note that e must never be written at the end of a short Syllable , as art , defend , convert , not arte , defende , converte . Except in a few short Syllables which are customarily written with an e after them , as come , some , done , gone , behove , shove , glove , live , love , give , above , move . Also e must never be written at the end of a word after a double Consonant , as bless , goodness , not blesse , goodnesse ; except when another Syllable is thereby added to the word , as 〈◊〉 . Likewise when a Syllable is added to a word that endeth in 〈◊〉 , then shall e be left out , as grace , gracious , shame , shaming , blame , blaming . Except the Syllable added thereto beginneth with a Consonant , for then must e be continued , as grace , graceful , not gracful , shame , shameful , not shamful . Except also when ge , and ce , come before the termination able , as charge , chargeable , not chargable , peace , peaceable , not ●acable . Except likewise words that are compounded of there , here , where , as therein , therefore , hereafter , heretofore , wherein , wherefore . E is commonly sounded in the end of such words as are derived from the Greek or Latin , as Phebe , Epitome , premunire , &c. Also many English words that have the sound of e in the end thereof , are written with ey , as countrey , valley , barley , parsley . F is always sounded or pronounced alike . G G is never sounded when it precedes m or n in the same Syllable , as phl●gm , sign , reign , design , sovereign , gnaw . G before e , i , and y , is commonly sounded soft , as ge-ne-ra-ti-on , gi-ant , gyp-sie , spun-gy . Except give , gift , to-ge-ther , be-gin , gir-dle , gird , girl , girt , tar-get , Gil-bert . G before a , 〈◊〉 , and u , or before its self or any Consonant in the same Syllable is always sounded , or pronounced hard , as gave , go-vern , gum , glass , grass , dig-geth , big-ness . When n goes before g , it is likewise pronounced hard , as ●ang , sing , ring , long , fin-ger , an-ger . Except e follows g in the same Syllable , as range , singe , &c. The sound of gh is various , as , 1. If it be in the beginning of a word is sounded like g hard , as Ghost , ghostly , &c. 2. When gh is found in the end of many words it is pronounced like f , as laugh , enough , cough , tough , rough , hough , &c. 3. In some words it is not sounded at all , but only serves to make the Syllable long , as through , dough , night , might , sight . 4. But when two Syllables are parted according to rule between g , and h , then is g sounded hard , as hog-beard , &c. H H is generally defined to be no Letter but only a note of ●spiration , or breathing . H in the beginning of words after g , or r , is not at all sounded , as ghost , ghostly , rheum , Rhe-to-rick , Rhe-nish , Thomas , Scholar , Scheme . I I is not sounded many times when it follows u in the same Syllable , as juice , fruit , bruit , suit , bruise , re-cruit . Likewise its sound is neglected in the improper Diphthong ei , either , neighbour , neither , &c. Also in adieu , cousin , fashion . When i comes before r , it is commonly sounded like 〈◊〉 , as frst , thirst , irk-some , third , fir , bird , thir-ty sir , firm . Except when it begins a word , as ir-ra-ti-o-nal , ir-re-ve-rent , &c. Or when e follows it at the end of a word , as con-spire , de-sire , fire . K When c hard is pronounced hefore e , i , or n , that word must be written with k , as ken-nel , kill , know , knowledge , &c. But when c hard is sounded before a , o , and u , that word must be written with c , and not with k , as co-ver , can-dle , custome ; not kover , kandle , kustome . L L very often loseth its sound when it comes between a and f , and a and k , as calf , half , stalk , walk , balk . Also it loseth its sound in balm , calm , salve , alms , Sal-mon , fal-con , Lin-coln , Bris-tol , Hol-born , folks . When a Monosyllable ends with l , it is commonly doubled , as call , shall , bill , shell , well , will ; except a Diphthong precede it , as boil , fail ; but if a Consonant be added to the end , then it loseth an l , as shalt , wilt , &c. And if a word of more than one Syllable ends with l , it must never be double , as gospel , not gospell , principal , not principall . M In what word soever m is found , it is never neglected , but always pronounced . N When n follows m at the end of a word it is seldom or never sounded , as condemn , contemn , solemn , Autumn , hymn , limn ▪ O O is variously sounded , viz. sometimes short , as not , got , s●t ; and sometimes long , as know , tow , bestow , go , to● , wo , so , &c sometimes like u , as smother , brother . And in some words it is not sounded at all , as youth , courage , courtesie , double , trouble , dou●let , people . And many times it must be written before n in the end of 〈◊〉 word , when it is not pronounced , as Apron , Iron , &c. P Ph whether it is in the beginning , middle , or end of a word , is sounded like f , as Phi-lo so pher , Phi lip , Or-phan , Tri-umph . Except in some few words where the Syllables are divided between p , and h , as Shep-herd , up-hold , Clap-ha● . When p comes between m and t in the end of a word , then p loseth its sound , as contempt , exempt ; also in Symptom , redemption ; also in psalm , psaltery , &c. Q Q is never written without u , as queen , quill , que-sti-on , quar-rel . Sometimes qu is sounded like k , as ob-lique , pub-lique , relique , ex-che-quer , liquor , &c. R R is always sounded , but never variously wheresoever it is found ; as fa-ther , ra-ther , &c. S The Letter S is either long or short , which are always to be observed in their places , viz. Long s must be always written in the beginning and the middle of words , as such , some , con-sume , con-spire . And short s or little s is always in the end of a word , as sins , sons , hands . Also if there be a double ss , the last ought to be a short s , as assurance , sessions , good-ness . S is sometimes pronounced hard , and sometimes soft , hard , as con-se-quence , se-date , con-sume , and soft like z , as bars , sons , sins . In some words it is not sounded at all , as Isle , Viscount , Island , which are to be read I le , Vicount , Iland . T Ti before a Vowel is generally sounded like si , as in redemption , nation , salvation , satiate , patience . Except s , r , or n , go before it , as question , christian , combustion , courtier , voluntier , frontier , Antioch . Except also when a Syllable beginning with a Vowel is annexed to a word ending in ty , then shall ty be changed into ti keeping its sound , as mighty , mightier , lusty , lustier , 〈◊〉 , pitious , lofty , loftier . U U is sounded sometimes short , as full , dull , but , and sometimes long , as ru-ral , bu ri al , and sometimes it is sounded like w , as an-guish , lan-guish , lan-guage . When u comes between g and another Vowel , it is seldom or never sounded , as plague , tongue , guide , guard , gui●t , catalogue , prologue , &c. Note that u is never in the end of a word except e be after it , as ver-tue , is-sue , con-strue . W W after o , is not sounded , as in grow , sha dow , win-dow ; except in vow , bow , sow , cow , &c. Also when w comes before r in the beginning of words , as wrath , wrought , wre-st●e , wretch , write , wran-gle , &c. X X is a Letter compounded of c and s , and like them it is always sounded where-ever it is found , as wax , like wacs , ax , like acs , &c. Y Y before a Vowel is a Consonant , and is to be sounded , as yet , you , youth , yon-der , york . But when it follows a Consonant then it is accounted a Vowel , as migh-ty , lof-ty , beau-ty . Z Z is generally pronounced like soft s , as zeal , zi-on , a-zimuth , &c. J When j Consonant comes before a Vowel , as it always does , then it is pronounced like soft g when it comes before e , i , or y , as jea-lous , joy-ful , joy , judge , E-li-jah , &c. and wheresoever it is found it is to be so pronounced , and its shape as well as pronounciation differs from i Vowel , being always writted thus j. V V Consonant is always placed before a Vowel , and hath a sound peculiar to its self , as in vertue , vile , vain , verily , vice , Saviour ; Likewise v Consonant differs in shape from ● Vowel , as well as in sound , it being always made thus v. Concerning the Diphthongs read the seventh Chapter . Chap. 28. Of the use of Great Letters , commonly called Capitals . THE Capitals in writing are of very great use , and are to be used according to the followng directions . I. All proper Names , whether of Men or Women , as Adam , Iames , Iohn , Mary , and also the Sirnames of Men. Likewise the proper Names of Countreys , Cities , Towns , Arts , Sciences , Dignities , Titles of Honour , Offices , Days , Months , Winds , Places , Heathenish Gods , and Goddesses , ●ivers and Islands . II. Every Sentence beginning after a period is to be begin with a Capital , and in Poetry every Verse or Line must begin with a Capital . Also every Book , Chapter , Verse , Paragraph , and Section . III. When the words of another is quoted , they ought to begin with a great Letter , as Matth. 2. 8. And he sent them to Bethlehem , and said , Go and search diligently for the young Child , &c. IV. The Titles of Books , as THE HOLY BIBLE , and many times very remarkable Sentences are written with great Letters , as Rev. 17. 5. And upon her Forehead was a Name written , MYSTERY , BABILON THE GREAT , THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH . Also the Numeral Letters are written with Great Letters , as the date of the present year is MDCXCII . Chap. 29. Of the Points , or Pauses , and Marks . IN reading or writing you are always to observe the Points or Stops , for they give great Life , and Light to the understanding in Reading . And they be these which follow , viz. A Comma marked thus ( , ) a Semicolon thus ( ; ) a Colon thus ( : ) a Period or full stop thus ( . ) an Interrogation noted thus ( ? ) and a note of Exclamation or Admiration noted thus ( ! ) and a Parenthesis which is noted thus ( ) with two Semicircles . A Comma is a stop of the smallest time , and requires but very little breathing ; as for Example , But ye are a chosen Generation , a Royal Priesthood , an holy Nation , a peculiar People , &c. A Semicolon is of somewhat longer time than a Comma ; as in this Example , His very Countenance begat in me a trembling ; his Words were terrible as thunder ; his Rage is sufficient to compleat my ruin . A Colon is a middle pause between a Comma and a Period , and is generally in the middle of a Sentence . Example , If I hold my Tongue , I can expect no relief : And if I speak , I fear I shall be rejected : Unless by some powerful Expressions , I can make her really sensible of what I truly feel . A Period is the longest pause , or breathing time , and is always put at the end of a compleat Sentence . Example , Eternity is an undeterminable Circle , wherein the persons of all Ages , shall be encompassed in endless weal or woe . An Interrogation or Interrogative point is always placed after a question . Example , Whither can I fly for redress ? Or to whom shall I apply myself for relief ? A note of Admiration is always put after a Sentence wherein something is exclaimed against or admired at ; as , Oh the vain pleasures of the World ! Oh that ever Man should be charged with the guilt of his own ruin ! A Parenthesis is when a Sentence is inserted in the middle of another Sentence between two Semicircles , which if wholly neglected or omitted , the sense would not be spoiled . As , I shall in a few words ( because many would be too tedious ) give you an information of the whole matter . Here if these words because many would be too tedious , were left out , yet the sense would be perfect . There are also many other marks which you will meet with in Reading , as sometimes when a Vowel is left out in a word , you will find this mark over its place , viz. ( ' ) which is called Ap●strophus , as th' intent for the intent , consum'd for consumed , I 'll for I will , &c. In compound words you shall find a short Line made between them , which is called an Hyphen , as Self-denial , Time-servers , Will-worship ; and likewise when you have not room to write the whole word in the Line , you ought to make the same mark at the end , to signifie the rest of the word to be in the other Line . And you will find such marks as these in the Bible and other Books , viz. ( * ) ( † ) and ( ‖ ) which are called notes of reference , and do serve to refer or direct the Readers to look for some proof , note , or observation , which you will find at the same mark in the Margin . And sometimes the Letters of the Alphabet are inserted in a smaller Character for the same purpose . When another Author is quoted in his own words , commonly the beginning of each Line of the same is distinguisht from the rest by a double Comma reversed , thus ( " ) When in writing any Word or Sentence is forgotten , then must it be written over the Line , and this mark ( ⁁ ) called a Caret must be made under the Line pointing between the words where the said word or sentence must come in . Likewise at the beginning of a new Head or Section , there is by most Authors set this mark § . An Appendix to the English School-master compleated , containing the Principles of Arithmetick , with an Account of Coins , Weights and Measures , Time , &c. Copies of Letters , and Titles of Honour , suitable for Men of all Degrees and Qualities , Bills of Parcels ▪ Bills of Exchange , Bills of Debt , Receipts , and several other Rules and Observations fi● for a Youths Accomplishment in the way of Trade The Principles of Arithmetick . ALL number is expressed by Nine Figures and a Cypher , which are thus Charactered , viz. 1 one , 2 two , 3 three , 4 four , 5 five , 6 six , ● seven , 8 eight , 9 nine , 0 a Cypher When any number is given whose value you would know , you are to consider that the first figure to the Right Hand signifies but its own single value , the second is ten times its value , as if it be 4 it signifies forty ; the third is an hundred times its own value , as if it be 4 it signifies four hundred , according to the following Table . First place 1 Units . Second place 2 Tens . Third place 3 Hundreds . Fourth place 4 Thousands . Fifth place 5 X of Thousands . Sixth place 6 C of Thousands . Seventh place 7 Millions . Eighth place 8 X of Millions . Ninth place 9 C of Millions . To value this or any other number , begin at the 1 saying , Units , Tens , Hundreds , Thousands , &c. But to read it you must begin at the 9 saying , Nine Hundred Eighty Seven Millions , Six Hundred Fifty Four Thousand , Three Hundred Twenty One. In like manner this number , viz. 507 is five hundred and seven , and 3426 is three thousand four hundred twenty six . ADDITION of Integers . ADdition teacheth to add divers numbers together , and to bring them to one total Sum. When two or more numbers are given to be added together you are to place them units under units , tens under tens , hundreds under hundreds , &c. Then add up the first row in the place of units , and if they be under ten set down what they come to , but if it come to ten , or more than ten , or twenty , or thirty , &c. then set down the excess ; and for every ten carry an unite to the next row , and proceed in the same manner with every row till you come to the last , and whatever that comes to you must set it all down . Example , Let it be required to find the Sum of 234 and 341 and 923 ; first I put them one under another as followeth . 234   341   923   1498 Sum. Then I begin at the units , saying 3 and 1 and 4 make 8 , which I put under the Line , then to the next row , saying 2 and 4 and 3 make 9 , which I also set down under its row , then to the next row , saying 9 and 3 and 2 make 1● , which I set down , and the work is done , and I find the Sum of these three numbers to be 1●9 . Again let it be required to find the Sum of 796 , ●87 , 479 , and 316 ; first I set them down in order , as you see in the Margent . 796   587   479   316   2178 Sum. Then I begin with the row of units , and find it to come to 28 , wherefore I place the 8 under the Line , and carry 2 to the next row for the two tens , and I find that row to come to 27 , wherefore I put the 7 under the Line and carry 2 to the next row , then I add up the third row and find it to come to 21 , all which I set down because it is the last row , and so I find the Sum of these 4 given numbers to be 2178.

NOte that 4 farthings is one penny , 12 pence is on● shilling , and 20 shillings is a pound Sterling , or English Money . The Character of pounds is l. of shillings is ● . of pence d. and of farthings q. When it is required to add pounds , shillings , pence and farthings together , you are to place them in rows one under another , viz pounds under pounds , shillings under shillings , pence under pence , and farthings under farthings , and under all draw a Line . Example , let it be required to add these two Sums of Money together , viz. 195 l. 17 s. 10 d. 3 q. and 86 l. 15 s. 09 d. 2 q. First I place the given Sums one under the other and draw a Line , as you see in the Margent . l. s. d. q. 195 17. 10. 3. 86 15 09 2 2●2 13 08 1 Then I begin with the farthings , saying 2 and 3 is 5 farthings , which is 1 peny and a farthing , wherefore I make a dot at the ● for the peny , and put the 1 farthing under the Line , then I go to the row of pence , saying 1 that I carry and 9 is 10 and 10 is 20 pence , which is 1 shilling 8 pence , wherefore I put a dot at 10 for the shilling , and put the 8 pence under the Line , and carry 1 for the dot to the shillings , and say 1 that I carry and 15 is 16 and 17 is 33 shillings , which is 1 pound 13 shillings , wherefore I make a dot at the 17 for the 1 pound , and put the 13 shillings under the Line , then I proceed to add up the pounds , saying 1 that I carry and 6 is 7 , and 5 is 12 , wherefore I put down 2 and carry 1 to the next row , &c. so that I find the Sum to be 282 l. 13 s. 08 d. 1 q.

Subtraction of Integers . SUbtraction teacheth to take a lesser number from a greater , and gives the remainder or difference . Example . Let it be required to subtract 2234 from 4678 , here must I place the lesser number under the greater in such manner as if they were to be added together , and draw a Line under them , as you see in the Margent . 4678   2234   2444 Rem . Then I begin at the units , saying 4 out of 8 and there remains 4 , which I place under the Line , and go to the next , saying 3 out of 7 and there rests 4 , which I also put under the Line , and go to the next , saying 2 out of 6 and there rests 4 , which I also put under the Line , and proceed to the next , saying 2 out of 4 and there remains 2 , which I put also under the Line , and the work is done , and I find the remainder to be 2●44 . But if in the work of this nature , the undermost figure chance to be greater than that which you are to subtract it from , which is the uppermost , then must you borrow 10 and add to the uppermost , and subtract the undermost from their Sum , but then for what you borrowed , you must remember to add 1 to the next lowermost figure , as in this Example , let it be required to subtract 3578 from 8495 , first I place them as is before directed , and as you see in the Margent with a Line drawn under them , then I begin at the place of units , saying 8 from ● I cannot , wherefore I add 10 to the ● , and it makes 1● , wherefore I say 8 from 1● and there remains ● , which I put under the Line , then I proceed to the next figure , saying ● that I borrowed and 7 is 8 out of 9 and there rests 1 which I put down , and proceed , saying 5 out of 4 I cannot , but 5 out of 14 and there remains 9 , which I put under the Line , and proceed , saying 1 that I borrowed and 3 is 4 out of 8 and there remains 4 , which I put under the Line in its place , and the work is done , and I find the remainder to be 49●7 . The like is to be understood of any other . 8495 3578 4917 Examples for Exercise follow . 4735 304● 9706 576418 918 5●8 3907 82443 3●17 2524 5799 49●975 Subtraction of Money . YOU must place the given numbers one under the other as you were directed in Addition , but with this caution , in Subtraction put always the lesser number undermost , and under all draw a little Line , and begin your Subtraction at the right hand , with the least denomination . But if the lower number of any denomination is greater than the uppermost , then borrow 1 of the next greater denomination , and from that subtract the lowermost , and what remains add to the uppermost , and set their Sum under the Line , and for that you borrowed add 1 to the next denomination , and proceed , &c. Example . Let it be required to subtract 346 l. 08 s. 07 d. 2 q. from 723 l. 4 s. 10 d. 1 q. first I set them down as you see in the Margent , and begin at the farthings , saying 2 farthings from 1 I cannot , wherefore I borrow 1 peny of the next denomination which is 4 farthings , and say 2 from 4 and there remains 2 , which I add to the 1 farthing and they make 3 , wherefore I put 3 under the Line in the place of farthings , then I proceed to the pence , saying 1 that I borrowed and 7 is 8 , from 10 and there remains 2 , which I put under the Line , and proceed to the shillings , saying 8 from ● I cannot , wherefore I borrow 1 of the next denomination which is 20 shillings , and say 8 from 20 and there remains 12 , which being added to the uppermost figure 4 makes 16 , which I put under the Line , and proceed , saying 1 that I carried and 6 is 7 , out of 3 I cannot , but 7 out of 13 and there remains 6 , &c. so when the work is finished I find the remainder to be 35 l. 16 s. 02 d 3 q. and the like is to be understood of any other . l. s. d. q. ●23 04 10 1 ▪ 36● 0● 07 2 35● ●6 ●2 3 Examples for further Exercise follow .   l. s. d. q. l. s. d. q.

I might proceed to the other Rules of Arithmetick , but that being more fit for a large Volume than this small Treatise , I shall therefore wave it , and content my self with giving you the several Tables of Coins , Weights , Measure , Time , &c. A Table of English Coin. 4 farthings   a Peny . 4 pence   a Groat . 12 pence   a Shilling . 2 Shillings six pence   half a Crown . 5 Shillings make a Crown . 6 Shillings eight pence   a Noble . 2 Nobles or 13 s. 4 d.   a Mark. 3 Nobles or 20 Shillings   a Pound Sterling . Troy Weight . THE Original Weight used in England is deduced from : Grain of Wheat gathered out of the middle of the Ear and well dried , and this Weight is called a Grain , from whence is deduced the following Table . 2● Grains   a Peny weight . 20 Peny weight make an Ounce . 12 Ounces   a Pound . With the foregoing Weights are weighed Bread , Gold , Silver , Jewels , and Electuaries . Apothecaries Weights . THE Weights used by Apothecaries are no other than Troy Weight , only the Pound is otherwise subdivided , according to the following Table . 20 Grains   a Scruple   ℈ 3 Scruples make a Dram thus marked ʒ 8 Drams   an Ounce   ℥ 12 Ounces   a Pound   lb Averdupois Weight . 16 Drams   an Ounce . 16 Ounces   a Pound . 28 Pounds make a Quarter of an Hundred . 4 Quarters   an 100 weight , consisting of 112 l. 20 Hundred   a Tun Weight . By this Weight is weighed all Grocery Wares , Butter , Cheese , Flesh , Wax , Pitch , Rosin , Tallow , Hemp , Lead , Iron , Copper , Tin , and all other Commodities from whence there may issue a waste . All Measure whether of Longitude or Capacity are deduced from a Barley Corn , whence comes the following Table . Of Long Measure . 3 Barley-Corns   an Inch. 12 Inches   a Foot. ● Foot   a Yard . 3 Foot 9 Inches make an Ell English. 6 Foot   a Fathom 5 yards and an half   a Pole or Perch . 〈◊〉 Poles or Perches   a Furlong . 8 Furlongs   an English Mile . By the foregoing Table you may understand that 5 yards and an half , which is 16 foot and an half make a Pole or Perch , from whence is deduced the following Table . Of Land Measure . 4● square Perches or Poles make a Rood , or quarter of an Acre . 4 Roods   an Acre of Land. Liquid Measure , ( by which is sold Beer , Ale , and other Liquors , ) i● by the Statute in this manner setled , viz. The Beer Gallon to contain 282 Cubick Inches , each Inch being a solid like a Dye , each side of which is an Inch in length , viz. its length , breadth and thickness an Inch. And the Gallon is customarily subdivided into Pottles , Quarts and Pints , whence is deduced the following Table . Of Liquid Measure . 2 Pints   a Quart. 2 Quarts   a Pottle . 2 Pottles   a Gallon of 282 solid Inches . 8 Gallons make a Firkin of Ale , Soap , Herring ▪ 9 Gallons   a Firkin of Beer . 10 Gallons and an half   a Firkin of Salmon , or Eels , 2 Firkins   a Kilderkin . 2 Kilderkins   a Barrel of Beer or Ale. But Wine Measure hath by the same Statute 231 Cubick Inches to the Gallon , which is likewise subdivided into Pottles , Quarts , and Pints , as Beer Measure is , from whence cometh the following Table . Of Wine Measure . 2 Pints   a Quart. 2 Quarts   a Pottle . 2 Pottles   a Gal. of 23● solid Inches ▪ 42 Gallons make a Tierce of Wine . 63 Gallons   a Hogshead . 2 Hogsheads or 3 Tierces   a Pipe or Butt . 2 Pipes , or Butts , or 6 Tierces   A Tun of Wine . Wheat , Barley , and other Grain , Salt , Coals , Sand , all dry Goods , and such as have substance in them are measure ▪ by dry measure , the least of which is a Pint , according to the following Table . Of Dry Measure . 2 Pints   a Quart. 2 Quarts   a Pottle . 2 Pottles   a Gall. 2 Gallons   a Peck . 4 Pecks make a Bushel Land Measure . 5 Pecks   a Bushel Water Measure . 8 Bushels   a Quarter 4 Quarters   a Chaldron . 5 Quarters   a Weigh . Of Time. The Original measure of Time is a year , which is the time where in the Sun performs his natural Motion or Course , through the Ecliptick , beginning at Aries , and so going through the 12 Signs of the Zodiack , till he return again to the first scruple of Aries , which he performs in 365 days , and almost 6 hours , and the 6 hours are reckoned only every fourth year , and then there is a day extraordinary added to the year making in all 366 days , which day is added to February , and that year is called Leap-year ; and according to the foresaid measure is the year divided and subdivided , as in the following Table of Time. 60 Seconds   a Minute . 60 Minutes   an Hour . 24 Hours   a Day natural . 7 Days make a Week . 4 Weeks   a Month. 13 Months , 1 Day and 6 Hours   a Year . But the Year is most commonly divided into 12 unequal Calendar Months , whose Names and the number of days contained in each take as followeth .   days Ianuary 31 February 28 March 31 April 30 May 31 Iune 30 Iuly 31 August 31 September 30 October 31 November 30 December 31 But they are more briefly sum'd up for the Memory in the four following old Verses .
