To all Lovers of Religion, Loyalty & Learning: Health, Peace, and Prosperity.  
Ingenious and Ingenuous READER,  
IT was not the vain Itch of Ambition to appear in Print, but a Zeal to serve my Generation according to the Will of God, prompted me to the Publication of the following Work. I know some will be ready to accost me with that well-known Sentence, Facile est, inventis addere; It is easy to build where another hath laid the Foundation, and prepared meet Materials for carrying on of the Work, but to Propound and Contrive the Model, and advantageously manage the design, Hic labour, hoc opus est. Here lies the difficulty, and herein he approves himself an expert and exquisite Artist. I foresee it will be objected, that Sundry Learned Worthies have already Laboured in this Work. The Old Spelling Book and English Schoolmaster, were many Years since Published, and of late Mr. Hunt, Mr. Coles, Mr. Young, Mr. Lane, Mr. Clark and others, have Ingeniously offered their Pains this way: And what necessity (will some say) of your now attempting that Work, which is effectually done already by other Hands.  
To this I answer, that those Learned Men, before mentioned, designed and deserved Well, in their Generous Offers for a General Good. But it should be considered, that a most Wise God hath so distributed his Talents, that no one hath all, but every one hath something which the other wants, and it is possible for another to come after them, that may be preferred before them; for adding many Cubits to their Stature, by a further Progress and Proficiency than they attained, or pretended unto. It is one thing, imperfectly to prepare ordinary Materials in the Rough for a Building, and another, Cautiously and Curiously to pick and choose only such as are useful among them, and supply what is wanting with a better choice, and place them Sprucely and Briskly in the Building, the peculiar Work of a Master Builder.  
Memorable is the Modest, Ingenuous Answer, Judicious and Generous Gideon returned, by way of Question or Expostulation, to the Angry and Envious Ephramites. Judges 8. 2. What have I done now in Comparison of you? Is not the Gleaning of the Grapes of Ephraim, better than the Vintage of Abiezer? As there was great Humility in gideon's Commendable and Exemplary Condescension, wherewith he judiciously and dexterously disarmed the hasty  Ephramites Indignation; so there was no less Verity and Ingenuity in that Metaphorical Expression, by comparing the Fight and the Success of it to a Vintage, the Victory which himself and his Abiezerites had gained, to the first gathering of the Grapes, and the Ephramites Slaughtering the Midianites in their Flight, to the Gleaning of the Vintage. The Work was happily begun, but not perfected, by Gideon, Ephraim like the Glean of the Vintage swept them away with the Besom of Destruction, and slew their Princes Oreb and Zeeb, which had passed Gideon's Victorious Arms. As many a fair Ear of Corn escapes the hasty Harvest-mans' Hand, that the Ingenious Gleaner gathers up: So those that escaped the Sword of Gideon, are Slain by the Sword of Ephraim, who effectually did that which the other had left undone. Moreover, it cannot be denied that the Glean (for quality) may be preferred before the Vintage, because the fairest Fruit grows high, out of the Gatherers ready reach, and therefore the Glean of the Vintage may be the choicest Grapes, as well as the Glean of the Harvest the purest Grain.  
My unworthy self, tho' the Least of my Brethren, and the Meanest of my Mother's Sons, have, for some Years past, been very Studious and Curious in Gleaning Pearls of the English Eloquence, and by a diligent Search as for hid Treasure, have found and furbisht sundry choice ones that before lay hid, which are here courteously and candidly offered to court the Ingenuous Acceptance of the Judicious and Generous Reader, as an invincible demonstration of the Author's unfeigned and fervent affection to the English Nation; whose Eye hath been long fixed on the Mark, and his Will upon the Work, and he hopes his Hand hath now answered both, in Hitting the White he aimed at, by bidding fairer for an advantageous Conclusion, than those that left the Work very Imperfect.  
I have observed Sundry Country Schoolmasters, that knew not how to give Letters nor Syllables, their true Sounds, being altogether in the Dark, as to their different Derivation and Pronunciation, and unable to render a reason, why the same Letter is pronounced with one Sound in one Word, with a different Sound in another, and not at all Sounded in a Third. I have likewise observed, that in long Words of Three, Four, Five, or Six Syllables, though some Petty Schoolmasters have sometimes luckily stumbled upon the right Sound of the Word, giving it its proper Name in the Lump, (more by Luck than Learning) but when for their Scholars better Instruction and Satisfaction, they were to take the long Word asunder, and particularly Pronounce each Syllable, apart by itself, they have been sadly puzzled both in the proper Division, and true Pronounciation of them, to their Scholars manifest detriment and discouragement, and their own expressless prejudice and disparagement. Which great Remora in the way of English Learning, I have, in this Work, fairly and effectually removed for rolling a way that Reproach.  
As it is most absurd, for any Man to offer to build a House without a Foundation, so it is no less ridiculous to attempt the acquiring a proficiency in any Art, without propounding such Rules, as have a direct tendency to the end propounded, as a Key to the Work, or clue to direct him through that Labyrinth, wherein he is in danger to lose himself and his design, without the ingenious conduct of such a Guide, the effectual finding out this, hath not been the least part of the Author's Pains, in this his no less laborious than laudable enterprise, for removing and explaining the difficulties of the English Tongue, in such a plain, familiar and demonstrative, Method, as may be most conducible to their advantage, for whom the Work was primarily and principally intended.  
I make no flourish of a Supernumerary Table of a Thousand Words more than others have, in a confused manner drawn up in a full body to look big upon the Reader, nor have I committed a Rape upon the English Tongue, in forcing it beyond the due Limits of Modesty and Ingenuity, by pulling in by Head and Shoulders such Words as are never to be reconciled to Sense, for making up that Number. I deliver my Words not by Tale, but by Weight, reducing them to Rules of Practice, ranking them in due Place and Order into such regular Squadrons, and proper Divisions, as might most dexterously and effectually encounter and conquer the hitherto invincible difficulties of our native Dialect, which, I presume, is here done to the clear conviction and ample satisfaction of the Judicious Ingenuous Master, the ease, benefit and delight of the Studious Ingenious Scholar, and the delectation and approbation of the solid, serious, sharp-sighted Reader.  
Moreover, that nothing may be wanting for accomplishing my English Scholar. I have also prescribed some short and right Rules for Reading Readily and Gracefully, and a Singular Method of Fair Writing Two Spruce Dexterous Hands, without taking Pen from Paper in drawing any Letter, either Small or Capital, fairly Engraven on a Copper Plate, and Copies Alphabetically composed to Write and Practice by, tending to Holiness and Happiness; with short and right Rules of Arithmetic, plainly demonstrated, and easily attained and retained by the meanest Capacity and weakest Memory.  
Furthermore, I have here presented thee with Sundry Pertinent Comparisons, Proverbial say, and Select Sentences both Moral and Divine, Alphabetically digested, and English Elegancies pleasantly improved, and Alphabetically disposed in familiar Discourses, for exercising the most Industrious and Ingenious: With some Raptures of Poetry on the Commandments, and on the Dolorous Ruins, and Glorious Resurrection of the most Renowned City of London, from the devouring Flames: With some serious and seasonable Poems on Time and Death, to whet the Readers Ingenuity with a delightful Variety, to bring on my hopeful Scholar, with the greater facility and dexterity, to affect and effect the noble Study of Good Letters, and the right Knowledge of himself, by understanding Books and Men. Thus craving thy Candid acceptance of this wellmeant Work, which I earnestly Recommend to thy Christian Consideration, and thyself to the Divine Protection. Vale.

TO THE Judicious and Generous READER.  
Candid Reader,  
MY many Years intimate Acquaintance with the studious ingenious Author, hath introduced me into the knowledge of the Man, and his Communication, who some Weeks since was pleased to Communicate his Design, to publish the present Work for a general Good. And that he might not deceive himself with a partial Opinion of his own Performance, he requested me cautiously and candidly to peruse it, and give my Judgement of it, whether it were worthy to see the Light: Conjuring me by the Laws of Friendship, not to favour any Error in it, through Modesty or Civility as a Friend, but throughly and strictly scan it with the Eye of an Enemy, by noting every Fault in it, as a most severe, but ingenuous, Corrector. To which I readily condescended, and with greatest Dexterity and Integrity (according to my slender Ability) have performed. And now think myself further obliged to render the Reader this following Account of the Work and Workman. I must, as a Friend to Truth as well as Charity, declare, That the Work is well designed for the benefit both of Natives and Strangers, that desire to attain the Knowledge of the English Tongue in the Latitude and Elegancy of it, which now appears as great as any Vulgar Speech or Language in the World, being indeed the Quintessence of all Languages, which, like so many Egyptian Jewels, and Hebrew Handmaids, serve to adorn this Queen. But in respect of the singular Copiousness and Significancy of it, above all other Vulgar Dialects, it is not so reducible to Rules of Grammar as other inferior Languages are, which renders it the most difficult of all others to be attained by Strangers. Wherefore the Author, who is a great Admirer and Observer of the Curious Criticizms of this Lofty Language, hath, to the just Commendation of his singular Industry and Ingenuity, abundantly laboured in this Work, and reduced it to so facile and familiar a Method, that he that runs may read, and he that reads may understand, what before he was altogether a stranger to. Which taking Method will pleasantly charm Squirrel-pated Boys into a love of Learning, and commendable Emulation to excel each other in the Elegancies and Significancies of their Native Tongue, never before so plausibly, plainly and particularly, expressed and explained, as in this present pleasant Work of the worthy Author. I have also seriously perused Eight or Nine several Authors that have attempted to write on this Subject, and without Prejudice or Partiality I affirm, that they have all come short of what in their flourishing Fronts they (or somebody for them) so confidently pretended; wherein (upon due Examination) I observed many things superfluous, some things very impertinent, and the whole very imperfect. I must ingenuously acknowledge, that this Work far exceeds all I ever yet saw, whose comprehensive Method, and ingenious Management of the Design, as far surmounted my Expectation, as the dull Contrivance of a Vulgar Apprehension. And to render this Work useful and acceptable not only to Boys, but Men, the Author, in the later part of his Book, liberally entertains the ingenious Reader with a rich variety of pleasant and profitable Matter, both in Curious Prose and Lofty Verse, worthy the Readers Caution and Practical Observation in the Course of his Conversation, to oblige both the present and future Generations to praise the Fountain of Goodness, for giving such Gifts unto Men, and a Will to improve them for a General Good.  
The Good Lord prolong the Elaborate and Orthodox Author's Life, to finish those Excellent Designs he hath now in Hand: And the Lord increase the Number of such Men. And let me advise thee, Reader, to buy whatsoever proceeds from this Author's Pen, whose Parts and Pains are not ordinary, his Style lovely, and his Design holy. Thus, wishing thee Health and Happiness, I cease to write, but not to remain,  
The Author's Friend, and thy Servant, R. W. Octob. 31. 1687.   

THE COMPENDIOUS Schoolmaster, etc.  
FIrst of Letters in general, and particularly of Vowels, Consonants, and Dipthongs.  
A Letter is the least part of a Word, and to every Letter three things belong.  

1. Name, whereby it is called.  
2. Figure, whereby it is known.  
3. Force, whereby it is pronounced.   
Of Letters are made Syllables, of Syllables Words, of Words a Speech, which is either Prose or Verse.  
Letters are distinguished two ways, 1. By Shape. 2. By ●ound. According to their Shape,  
First, Into Great or Capital Letters, as  
A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T V U W X Y Z etc.  
Secondly, Small, as  
a b c d e f g h i k l m n o p q r s s t v u w x y z & etc.  
Great Letters are to be written in the Front or Title of a Book, as,  
THE BOOK OF PSALMS.  
Also in the Glorious Names of God, as, I AM JEHOVAH LORD, And such like.  
Also to begin a Sentence, as, Go to the Ant, thou Sluggard, consider her ways, and be wise.  

Proper Names of Men, Charles, James, etc.  
Of Women, as Marry, Elizabeth, Patience.  
Of Dignities, as Majesty, Highness, etc.  
Of Arts, as Grammar, Logic, etc.  
Of Trades, as Tailor, Barber, etc.  
Of Countries, as England, Ireland, etc.  
Of Cities, as London, Oxford, Bristol, etc.  
Of Towns, as Bedford, Buckingham, etc.  
Of Villages, as Newington, Kensington, etc.  
Of Rivers, as Thames, Tine, and Tweed, etc.  
Of Months, as January, February, etc.   
To begin a Verse, as, 
Falls have their Rise, Waining have their Primes,  
And desperate Sorrows wait their better Times.   
Letters are also divided into Vowels, which are five, a e i oh u and y sounding like i in the middle or end of a Syllable, is a Greek Vowel.  
And Consonants which are 19, and thus pronounced: be cee dye of gee iee ca el 'em en b c d f g i k l m n pee cum are es tee thou ex widow said. p q r s t u x y z.  
A Vowel hath a perfect sound by itself without any other Letter, as, (A) good Man (I) ought to prize. (O) that this Age abounded with such Worthies.  
Consonants be so called, because they cannot be sounded without a Vowel, as Gd sv th' Kng, which with their Vowels added to make up the Sense, is, God save the King.  
Consonants are of two sorts, single and double.  
Single Consonants are 19, as before expressed: b c d f g h j k l m n p q r s t v x y z.  
Y being both a Vowel and a Consonant, as appears in sundry Examples, P. 18. etc.  
Double Consonants are these seven, ct ff fl ss sl sh st.  
A Dipthong is the sound of two Vowels in one Syllable; Dipthongs are proper, or improper.  
The proper Dipthongs are eight, ai, ei, oi, au, eu, ee, oo, ou.  
The improper Dipthongs are six, ay, ey, oy, awe, ewe, ow.  
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 of a word, as in Oyster, fair, Air, either; but when you have the same sounds in the end of a word, you must write ay, ey, oy, as prey, may, joy.  
Though Letters usually have the same sound, yet it should be considered, that some Letters are to be differently sounded according as they are placed; And Secondly, that some Letters in sundry words lose their sound, being not at all pronounced, as by many pertinent Examples of both kinds Alphabetically considered, shall plainly appear to the ample satisfaction of the studious ingenious Reader.  
First, some Letters are to be differently sounded, according as they are variously placed, as in these following Alphabetical Examples.  
A Is generally pronounced sharp, as in bat, cat, fat, hat, lat, sat, mat, etc. But when A comes before ll, it is pronounced after the French manner, as au in ball, call, fall, hall, shall, wall, gall, which we pronounce like gall, etc.  
C Before a, o, oo, u, always sounds like k, as cade, came, can, can, cap, cart, cast, caught, cave, cavel, etc.  
Also before o, oo and u, C hath ever the same sound, as Court, Cold, Cook, Custom, Curious, and the like.  
Also C in the beginning of a word, having a Consonant following it, is ever like k, as claim, clean, clime, clown, clue, crave, cram, creed, cry, crown, crowd, crew, etc.  
C before e or i, in all Latin and English words, is ever pronounced like s, as Cedar, Cellar, City, Civil, and the like.  
But all Hebrew and Greek words that have e following c in the beginning of the Syllable, c is to be pronounced like k, as Cedron, which is pronounced as Kedron; and Aceldama, as Akeldama, etc. except Cephas and Cenchrea, where c sounds like s.  
Ch in words purely English, have a peculiar sound with them both before and after Vowels.  
Before Vowels, as Charles, church, charge, charity, chariot, cheer, cheat, child, chirp, charter, chapter, chase, chance, chant, cheap, cherry, cheese, chose, choose, chine, chip, chop, chup, churl, and the like.  
Also after a Vowel ch is pronounced as before a Vowel, as ache, reach, rich, roche, such, teach, preach, breach, etc.  
But in words of a Hebrew or Greek derivation, Ch sounds like k, both before a Vowel in the beginning of a word, and after a Vowel in the middle or end of a word, as in these following Examples plainly appears.  
In the beginning of a word, as in Chilion, Chimham, Che-dar-la-o-mer, Chios, Choos, Cheereth, Choler, etc. where Changed is pronounced like k, as if it were written Kilion, Kim-ham, Ke-dar-la-o-mer, Kios, Koos, Kerith, Koler.  
Thus after a Vowel in the middle of a word, Changed is pronounced like k, as Achan, Anchor, Achaiah, Archelaus, Michol, Michmas, Michael, Nicholas, Bich●y, Machination, Procherus, Eschol; as if these words were written Akan, Akor, Akaiah, Arkelaus, Mikol, Mickmash, Mikael, Nickolas, Bickey, Mackination, Prokerus, Eskol.  
Ch is likewise pronounced like k in the end of a word, as in Adramelech, Abimelech, Ahimelech, Enoch, Lamech, Mesech, Molech, Monarch; as if these words were written Adrameleck, Abimeleck, Ahimeleck, Elimeleck, Enok, Lameck, Meseck, Moleck, Monarch, etc.  
But some few Hebrew and Greek words, custom (that controls Grammar) hath exempted from this Rule, as Cherubin, Tychicus, Antioch, and Rachel, which, by the same Rule, should be pronounced Rakel, but because that would be of a bad sound, we say Rachel.  
As also words compounded of Arch, as Archer, Arches, Archi-tecture, Archbishop, Archdeacon, Archduke; but we pronounce Archangel, as if written Ark-Angel, according to the former Examples, as is ever to be observed.  
For pronouncing e at the end of a word, is not so ingeniously reduced to any special Rule in the English Tongue, the French more exactly observe an e masculine, and an e feminin; the e masculine they mark and pronounce sharp, like the Latin Adverb Maximè; the e feminin, without any thing over it, is almost swallowed up in the pronunciation.  
But though e in the end of an English word generally loseth its sound, as in p more plainly and particularly appears; yet in the following words e is ever fully pronounced, as in he, she, we, ye, be. As also in some other words for distinguishing both the sense and sound from words of the same Orthography or Spelling, as bate from bat, care from car, cate from cat, fate from fat, far from far, mare from mar, pair from par, ware from war, fire from fir, made from mad, mile from mill, quite from quit, bide from bid, ride from rid, gate from got, hate from hat, and such like, where it altars not more the sense than sound.  
Also e at the end of an English word softens the sound of g coming next before e, as in age, cage, rage, stage, sage and sing, where g hath a much softer sound than in cag, rag, stag, sing, which is plain to the meanest Capacity.  
FIs always pronounced like itself, but in words borrowed from the Greek ph is used for it, as Philip, Philemon, Phebe, Phenice, fantasy, Physic, Phlebotomy, and the like.  
G Before a, o, or u, is pronounced short and sharp, sounding like the Greek (γ) Gamma, as in these following Examples, Game, gone, gun, gaudy, godly, guilty, and such like.  
But in Haggai, the first g is pronounced short, and the second g, though a follows it, sounds flat, like an j Consonant, as if it were written Hagjai.  
G before e or i in English words, is sometimes pronounced long or flat, like an j Consonant, as gill, gin, gipsy, gem, gender, giant, generation, genealogy, gentility, generosity, geometry, gesture; and some proper Names, as Gervase, George, Gerard, Germany, Gifford; but the last may be, without Censure, pronounced either way, and gill, the gill of a fish, is pronounced short and sharp, as in gild; and gill, a gill of wine is pronounced long or flat, as in giant.  
In all Hebrew and Greek words which we find in the Bible, or other Writings, this Rule is without Exception, that e following g, ever sounds sharp like itself, as before a, o, or u, as Gebal, Geber, Gedaliah, Gerezim, Genazareth, Geshur, Gershom, Gethsemane, etc.  
Also when i follows next after g, as in Gibeon, Gideon, Gihen, Gilead; and girl, gillary, with all Hebrew and Greek Names of Persons or Places; it is absurd to pronounce g like an j Consonant, according to the English and Latin pronunciation of it before noted.  
G before a Consonant is ever pronounced sharp, as in Gregory, Grevile, Glanvile, Grantham, grave, greasy, grim, ground, grind, grace, great, grief, gruel, gravel, grain, grapes, glass, grass, grow, glow, glide, glen, green, groan, grown, glean, grim, graft, griffon, grimston, grist, and the like.  
Gh is sounded like ff in laugh, tough, cough, enough, but not at all pronounced in though, which is sounded tho.  
H Hath a perfect found in the beginning of all English words, as Henry, Hicks, Hugh, Hunt, Herbert, Hildersham, Hambleton, Harrington, Harrison, Holbourn, hand, heart, house, have, etc.  
Ph is sometimes sounded like f, as in Philip, Philemon, Phebe, etc.  
As also in the middle of a word, as Orphan, Sulphur, Sophister, Sophisticate.  
And also in the end of a word, as gulf, triumph, and the like. But if ph be in two Syllables, than they are otherways pronounced, as in Shep-herd, Clap-ham, and the like.  
Q Is always followed by u, though u add nothing to the sound of it, as in acquaint, quail, quart, quarter, quarrel, quaker, queen, quill, etc.  
Queen is pronounced like ck in Exchequer, Liquor, Catholic, Apostolic, Authentic; which words may be indifferently written with ck or que, as also frantic and pedantic.  
R When it comes single, and when it comes double in the same Syllable, it is sounded alike, as in bar, bar; far, or fare; mar, or mar; jar, or jar; war, or war; e in the end of a word always following a double r, softens the sound, as if it were written with a single r, the r and the e being superfluous, as also in confer, refer, defer, infer, and the like, where single r is enough to express the proper sound of the Syllable.  
S Is pronounced like z in some words, as in easy, bosom, lose, use, abuse, sins, sons, desire, as has, was, etc.  
Single s and double s sound alike at the end of a word, as bless, transgress, helpless, hopeless, wantonness, wickedness, righteousness, and the like, the single s being enough to express the sound, and therefore best written with a single s.  
There is a long s, and a short s, and you must always write long s at the beginning and middle of words, as son, soul, save, sanctuary, sister, solid, sold, and the like; and writ s short in the end of words, as in sisters, sons, mothers, husbands, lands, etc.  
TI when it gins a word, it is always fully pronounced, as in Tide, Tiber, Tiler, Tyburn, Titus, and the like.  
Likewise in the middle of a word, when s comes immediately before ti, then ti retains its perfect sound, as A-na-bap-tis-ti-cal, Bum-bas-ti-cal, Rus-ti-cal, Ce-les-ti-al, Fan-tas-ti-cal, Com-bus-ti-on, Fus-ti-an, Ques-ti-on, Tes-ti-mo-ny, Jus-ti-fy, and such like.  
When ti gins a Syllable in the middle of a word, though s comes not before it, ti is pronounced as after s, in these words prag-ma-ti-cal, sab-ba-ti-cal, cer-ti-fy, gra-ti-fy, for-ti-fy, for-ti-tude, gra-ti-fy, gratitude, sanc-ti-fy.  
Also all words ending in ti or ty, they are to be pronounced as before, as in the following Examples is ever to be observed.  

ad-ver-si-ty  
car-na-li-ty  
ca-la-mi-ty  
cer-tain-ty  
de-for-mi-ty

ci-vi-li-ty  
hu-ma-ni-ty  
se-ve-ri-ty  
pro-spe-ri-ty   
Which Reading will make familiar and pleasant to the serious ingenious Reader.  
But ti in the middle of a word is generally pronounced like ci, or si, as in these following Examples plainly appears.

sanc-ti-fi-ca-ti-on   have the first ti pronounced, as in the beginning or end of a word, and the last ti to be pronounced like ci, or si, as is ever to be observed.  
Note, That an j Consonant, and an v Consonant, as they differ in shape, so in sound from an i Vowel, and an u Vowel, as much as one Letter doth from another.  
I When written as a Vowel in the beginning of a Word, is thus ever to be pronounced, as Ibleam, Iconium, Idumea, Iturea; if, ignorance, illuminate, illustrious, imprudent, impudent, irreverent, incoherent, inconvenient, injuricus, incommodious, and the like.  
An I Consonant is always pronounced like g, as in James, Jacob, Job, Joseph, Japhet, Jebus, Jesus, Jerusalem, Jury, Judah, July, Judicious, Justice, and in all other Words which begin with an j Consonant, as is ever to be observed.  
U Is variously pronounced, as a Vowel when written u, and as a Consonant which is written v, as by sundry pertinent Examples shall more plainly and particularly appear.  
An u Vowel in the beginning of a Word having a Consonant following after, must be ever pronounced as in these following Words is ever to be observed.  
Vriah, Urania, Vrban, Vzziah, Ulysses, ubiquity, Utility, University, Universality, Unity, Unite, Understanding, etc.  
An u Vowel is commonly set in the midst of a Syllable, having a Vowel after it, as due, sue, continue, retinue, revenue, value, Venus, Virtue, and such like, where it is pronounced flat, as in you.  
V Consonant gins a Syllable with a Vowel after it, having a different sound from a u Vowel, being strongly pronounced, as in vain, vaunt, vile, vermin, vengeance, vice, voice, vulture, Venice, venison, value, vow, etc.  
And it is further to be noted, that an I Consonant, nor an v Consonant never end a Syllable, but begin it.  
An j Consonant gins a Syllable, as in these Examples plainly appears, ab-ject, ob-ject, ob-jure, ad-jure, ad-journ, ad-join, ad-judge, con-jure, con-join, dis-join, de-ject, enjoy, enjoin, Eli-jah, perjured, so-journer, and such like, as you will find in Reading.  
And thus an v Consonant gins a Syllable, as in these Examples following.

A v Consonant is sometimes placed in the middle of a Syllable, having an e after it to end the word, as 

brave  
cave  
crave  
drove  
drive  
drove  
dove  
dive  
five  
gave  
give  
grieve  
grave  
grove  
have  
heave  
have  
leave  
live  
love  
move  
pave  
rave  
rove  
save  
sieve  
salve  
wave  
wove  
wove   and the like.  
Which foregoing Words of one Syllable, with divers others of the same kind, as knave, slave, shave, deceive, reave, cove, thrive, strive, etc. must never be written with an u Vowel, because it gives the Syllable a flat and a false sound, sounding like ewe, as Hebrew, due, sue, etc. This is intended for a modest Rebuke to Scholars and Printers that frequently, but corruptly write and print a u Vowel for a u Consonant, in sundry of the Examples before named, to the weak Reader's Prejudice, and the Penman and Printer's Reproach.  
X In the beginning of a Word is pronounced soft like z, as in Xocrates, Xenophon, X●●tippe: But in the middle of a Syllable x is pronounced more sharply, as in Exit, Exodus, Xerxes, where the first x is pronounced soft, and the last sharp; and in Artaxerxes, where x in both places sounds briskly.  
Y Before a Vowel in English is a Consonant, as in your, yonder, younger, yard, year, yesterday, yeoman, etc.  
But y after a Consonant is a Vowel, as my, cry, dry, fry; and also after a Vowel in the end of a Syllable, is always a Vowel, as bay, buy, boy, coy, key, lay, may, nay, pray, prey, say, way, and the like.  
When j and y are Consonants, they are very differently pronounced, as jack, jet, joke, and yate, yet, yoke; and it is further to be observed, that y is never set before u, and never before i, but in yield.  
Note that ic, and y, are promiscuously used in the end of a Word, as beauty, beauty; charity, charity; civility, civility; duty, duty; and many other Words, wherein ie or y may be indifferently used; but in many words, as bay, day, gay, bay, lay, may, coy, joy, and the like; Custom carries it with y, and I give my Vote for y to conclude the rest.  
Thus having considered the proper sounds of Letters, and the several sounds of the same Letters variously placed in the same Words, according to their different Derivations, I now proceed to a second Alphabetical Prospect, in pursuit of the Elegancy of the English Tongue, to show that Letters which must be written in a Word, are not at all sounded in the proper pronunciation of those Words, with such plain and pertinent Examples, that he that runs may read, and he that reads may understand what many Country Schoolmasters and Schooldames are ignorant of, as followeth.  
A In some Words loseth its sound: For Example, we writ Pharaoh, but we read Pharo, where neither a nor h is pronounced. And likewise in Isaac, Balaam, and Canaan, where the later a in those three Words is not pronounced by the Learned in the English Tongue, as if they were written Isac, Balam, and Canan; but in Baal both are pronounced to lengthen the sound, like the bleating of a Sheep, Baalam, to distinguish Baal from bal, ball, and bawl.  
When ea come together, as in earth, wealth, beat, beauty; and oa, as boat, moat, abroad, etc. a in both is but little sounded, only draws the Syllable long to soften it, and sweeten the sound, like e in come, home, some, and the like.  
B In the end of a Word is not pronounced, as in lamb, limb, dumb, numb, thumb, womb, as also in debt, doubt, and the like.  
C Between a Vowel and k is not pronounced, as in back, black, check, jack, lick, lock, suck, truck, dick, duck, buck, muck, luck, and the like.  
C after s is not pronounced, as in descent, conscience, ascent, disciple, and the like.  
D Is not pronounced in badge, drudge, bridge, hedge, judge, lodge, trudge, friendship, handmaid, wednesday, etc.  
E Is usually written, but not pronounced in these Words, honey, money, month, truth; as also at the end of Words, as sue, due, hear, tear, fear, near, dear, and the like, as if they were written honey, money, month, truth, so, du, hear, tear, fear, near, dear, in which Words (except sue and due) the e is left out in writing.  
But you must ever except some Words of a Foreign derivation, as Jesse, Jubilee, Epitome, etc. where e at the end sounds strongly, as in the Latin Adverb certè, where e, like the French e Masculine, is ever briskly pronounced.  
G Is not pronounced in reign, sign, phlegm, assign, design, and the like.  
Gh in the middle of a Syllable are but softly pronounced, as in light, bright, might, night, right, as also in thought, strait, strength, slaughter; and in high, thigh, nigh, gh are not at all sounded.  
H Is written, but not sounded in sundry Words, as Christ, Crystal, Christopher, Thomas, John, Zachary, Achan, Anchor, Anchor, Aristarchus, Shadrach, Mesech, Scholar, Eunuch, Myrrh, Chronicle, Authority, Choler, Rhine, Rhenish, Rhetoric, Melancholy, Rheum, Scheme, and the like.  
Also the sound of h is lost in the beginning of Words that are either in whole or in part borrowed from Hebrew: For Example, we should write Jerusalem, which we now pronounce, and Custom hath of late introduced the writing of it without an h, as Jerusalem, and h is almost swallowed up in Humphrey and humble.  
But h beginning Words derived from the Greek, is pronounced, as Hierarchy, etc.  
H also loseth its sound at the end of divers Words, as Micah, Micaiah, Hezekiah, Hannah, Hilkiah, Hananiah, Elkanah, Obadiah, Jonah, Jeddidiah, Josiah, Joshuah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jeconiah, Goliath, Gemariah, Vriah, Zerviah, Zechariah, Zedekiah, with many other names of Persons and Places mentioned in Holy Scripture. But in ah, oh, foh, h is pronounced.  
I Is not sounded in adieu, suit, fruit, fashion, bruised, cousin, carriage, translation, and the like; and after e, as deceive, etc.  
K Is very little sounded in back, beik, buck, deck, dick, duck, sack, sick, suck, rick, rack, wrack, ruck, pack, peck, pick, tract, trick, truck; in all which, and the like Words, c taketh off the sound from k, c being there pronounced like k.  
L Loseth its sound in calf, half, stalk, salve, falcon, salmon, Lincoln, Bristol, Holbourn, Norfolk, Suffolk, etc.  
N Is not sounded in solemn, condemn, contemn, column, autumn, hymn, and the like; yet n is written after m in the foregoing words, to show their derivation from the Latin.  
O Is not pronounced in blood, courage, damosel, gaoler, jeopardy, people, nourish, flourish, pious, scourge, young, yeoman, and touch, which is pronounced like such, much, etc.  
P Is not sounded in Psalm, Psalter, Psaltery, receipt, receipt, redemption, Simpson, symptom, sumptuous, tempt, etc.  
S Is not sounded, but always written in Isle, Viscount, Island, which are pronounced Isle, Viscount, Island.  
T Loseth its sound before c, as catch, hatch, latch, match, snatch, stretch, wretch, and the like.  
U Vowel is not sounded in guard, guest, guide, guile, buy, build, built, guise, guilt, guilty, circuit, conduit, error, horror, mirror, bury, busy, plague, plagued, tongue, prologue, epilogue, catalogue, rogue, vogue, and such like, where u is not pronounced.  
W After o is softly sounded in grow, slow, blow, yellow, shadow, widow, sorrow, shallow, borrow, fallow, follow; and in wrack, wrath, wroth, wretch, wrinkle, wranckle, wright, w is not at all pronounced.  
Y Is not pronounced in chimney, journey, key, kidney, monkey, pulley, and such like.  
And now Reader consider, that albeit the Learned have rendered a Reason why these superfluous Letters should be written in the words foregoing where they are not pronounced, because they show from whence the words are derived; yet it is much to be desired, and hath been by some of late ingeniously endeavoured to write Words as we speak them, which would make our Tongue abundantly more familiar and useful both to ourselves and strangers. And it would tend no less to the Honour, than the Interest of our Nation, so far to decline the wordy frothy French, as to read as we writ, and speak as we think.  
Thus having showed not only the different sounds of Letters according as they are placed in a Word, with sundry pertinent Alphabetical Examples; but also where Letters are written, and not at all pronounced in Reading, exactly and effectually to teach my Scholar the proper pronunciation of Words, according to their different Derivations, which is the Key of the Work: I now proceed to consider Syllables, of which Words are made, with some Examples of Words of One Syllable, which is the business of the Second Chapter.  

Of Syllables, and Words of One Syllable.  
A Syllable is the pronouncing one Letter or more with one breath, as, O Lord; and gives a perfect sound, consisting of one Letter or more of any Number under Nine, as in these following Examples.  I do see that brave Amazon brought strength. 
Of Letters are made Syllables, and of Syllables Words.

Sundry short exact Rules for dividing Words of Two Syllables, with a pleasant Variety of pertinent Examples to each Rule, never to be forgotten.

I Pre-sume, some will be rea-dy to cen-sure this Work, as de-fi-ci-ent, for two things. First, because I have not u-sed so many Words, as one Au-thor hath done before me. And Secondly, for not wri-ting Words of several Syl-la-bles whole, as well as di-vi-ded, as several Author's have thought re-qui-site to do.  
To the First Ob-jec-ti-on, That I have not as many Words, as one that hath writ before me, I an-swer, That I pre-tend not to write a Dic-ti-o-na-ry of Words, but Rules of Di-rec-ti-on for the due re-gu-la-ti-on, dis-tinct di-vi-si-on, and pro-per pronounciation of them: And my Rules, both for di-vi-si-on, and pronounciation, are so per-ti-nent, and clear, that nothing can be made more plain to an ingenious Read-er.  
To the Se-cond Ob-jec-ti-on, That I have not writ the same Words whole, as well as di-vi-ded, I an-swer, That I Judge it su-per-flu-ous so to do, because long Words are ea-si-ly read, when right-ly di-vi-ded. It is therefore my hum-ble mo-ti-on to the Learned, That the Psal-ter, and New Tes-ta-ment might be Printed with the Syl-la-bles di-vi-ded, ex-act-ly done, for the use of Children, which would tend much to the ad-vance-ment of English Learn-ing, and the Ease and De-light both of Teach-er and Learn-er; which ad-van-ta-ge-ous Method I have therefore ob-ser-ved in this Book.  

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 in-to temp-ta-ti-on; but de-li-ver us from evil, for thine is the King-dom, Pour and Glo-ry, for e-ver and e-ver, Amen.   

The Apostolic Creed.  
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 con-cei-ved by the Holy Ghost, born of the Vir-gin Marry, suf-fer-ed 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 risen a-gain from the dead, he as-cend-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-give-ness of Sins, the Re-sur-rec-ti-on of the Bo-dy, and the Life e-ver-last-ing, Amen.   

The Ten Commandments.  
The Preface. AND God spoke all these Words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the Land of E-gypt, out of the House of Bon-dage.  
I. Thou shalt have no o-ther Gods before me.  
II. Thou shalt not make un-to thee any graved I-mage, or any 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-sit-ing the i-ni-qui-ty of the Father's upon the Children, un-to the third and fourth Ge-ne-ra-ti-on of them that hate me, and showing Mer-cy un-to thou-sands of them that love me, and keep my com-mand-ments.  
III. 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.  
IU. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, six days shalt thou la-bour and do all thy work, but the se-venth 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 rest-ed the se-venth day; wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hal-lowed it.  
V Ho-nour thy Father and thy Mother, that thy days may be long upon the Land which the Lord thy God gives thee.  
VI Thou shalt not kill.  
VII. Thou shalt not com-mit A-dul-te-ry.  
VIII. Thou shalt not steal.  
IX. Thou shalt not bear false Wit-ness against thy Neighbour.  
X, Thou shalt not co-vet thy Neighbour's House, thou shalt not co-vet thy Neighbour's Wife, nor his Man-ser-vant, nor his Maid-ser-vant, nor his Ox, nor his Ass, nor any thing that is thy Neighbour's.

All lustful Acts, & wanton dalliance fly,  
Lasivious language, & lewd company.   

VIII  
Thy neighbour no way wrong by craft or might,  
Use no deceit to gull him of his right.   

IX  
Do not thy neighbour any way defame,  
To spoil him of a jewel, his good name.   

X  
Let not thy roving rambling thoughts aspire  
Thy neighbour's wife or wealth for to desire.   

These pregnant Prcepts holy just and true,  
My heart, O Lord, persuade still to pursue.

17. So all the Generations from Abraham to Da-vid are four-teen Generations; and from Da-vid to the car-ry-ing to Ba-by-lon, four-teen Generations: and from the car-ry-ing away in-to Ba-by-lon, un-to Christ, are four-teen Generations.    

CHAP. I. Of Proper Christian Names.  
THere is a threefold use of Names, worthy my Readers Ob-ser-va-ti-on.  
First, to di-stin-guish Men and Women one from another, by their Christian Name, as one Fa-mi-ly from another, by their Surnames.  
Secondly, That they might be stir-red up to verify the va-ri-ous significations of their Names.  
Therefore let every Al-fred be all for Peace, every Bar-na-bas, a Son of Con-so-la-ti-on; every Ben-ja-min, a Son of the Right hand; every Charles, (that love-ly name) whol-ly Noble; every Con-stan-tine, con-stant; every Francis, free and friend-ly; every Fe-lix, holy and happy; every James, (that renowned Name) a Sup-plant-er of Er-ror, and a Main-tain-er of the Truth; every Jo-nah, a Dove; every John, gracious; every Mark, re-mark-a-ble for good-ness; every Obadiah, a Ser-vant of God; every O-ne-si-mus, pro-fi-ta-ble; every Paul, little in his own eyes, and great in the eyes of good Men; every Peter, a Rock im-preg-na-ble against Temp-ta-ti-on and Per-se-cu-ti-on; every Ro-ger, peace-a-ble; every Richard, rich heart-ed, and li-be-ral hand-ed; every The-o-phi-lus, a lo-ver of God; every Ti-mo-thy, a true Wor-ship-per and Ho-nour-er of God; every Vin-cent, victorious o-ver his own Lusts; every Uriah, zea-lous for God; every William, a help and de-fence to many; and every Za-cha-ri-ah, mind-ful of the Lord.  
Let not those that have good Names belie them in their Lives, like Absalon, who was not the Father of Peace, (or his Fa-ther's Peace) as his Name speaks, but a Son of Se-di-ti-on, and un-na-tu-ral Re-bel-li-on; nor like Phi-le-tus, which sig-ni-fies a-mi-a-ble, who pro-ved a hate-ful A-pos-tate, de-ser-ved-ly o-di-ous to God and Man; or like Di-o-tre-phes, not nursed by God, as his Name im-ports, but puffed up by the De-vil to op-pose the pro-gress of the Gospel; or like our late O-li-ver (the peace bring-ing Olive, as his Name sounds, who was a fa-tal Thun-der-bolt of War, and a Firebrand of Hell, to dis-turb and de-stroy our Peace with our in-com-pa-ra-ble Prince.)  
Let every A-bi-gal be her Fa-ther's Joy; every Ann, mer-ci-ful; every A-my, love-ly and be-lo-ved; every Fran-ces, ge-ne-rous and ingenious; every Fi-de-li-a, faithful; every Grace, gracious; every Phe-be, clear and bright, without spot; every Pa-ti-ence, meek and mute; every Pru-dence, dis-creet, and vir-tu-ous; every Rakehell, a Sheep, not a Fix-on; and every Su-san-na, a Li-ly, and a Rose, in the Beauty and Fra-gran-cy of a good Life.  
Thirdly, Names are gi-ven, to in-cite and in-vite us to i-mi-tate the Virtue's of those worthy people who have been bear-ers of them.  
Let every Abraham be faithful; every Isac, quiet; every Ja-cob, pain-ful; every Jo-seph, chaste; every Moses, meek; every Job, patiented; every Da-vid, de-vout; every Da-ni-el, religious, and re-so-lute; every Na-tha-na-el, without guile; every Jo-si-ah, zea-lous; every Hananiah, a fear-er of God; every Nehemiah, a be-ne-fac-tor to his Coun-try; every Sa-mu-el, sin-cere; every Stephen, con-stant, and cha-ri-ta-ble; and every Solomon, be wise, and beware of Women.  
Let every Sa-rah be o-be-di-ent to her Husband; every Re-bec-ca, modest, and ju-di-ci-ous; every Han-nah, devout, cir-cum-spect, and religious; every Dor-cas, a Donor to poor Widow's; every Ly-di-a, open heart-ed, and hand-ed, to God and Good-ness; and every Pris-cil-la, zealous, and stu-di-ous in the best things.  
Let them al-so care-ful-ly a-void those Sins, for which the Bear-ers of the Names stand brand-ed to Pos-te-ri-ty.  
Let every Jo-nah beware of forwardness; Thomas, of dis-trust-ful-ness; Mar-tha, of world-li-ness; Marry, of wantonness.  
If there be two, of our Names, the one ex-ceed-ing-ly good, the o-ther no-to-ri-ous-ly evil; let us de-cline the Vices of the one, and practise the Virtue's of the o-ther.  
Let every Ju-das not follow Ju-das Is-ca-ri-ot, who be-tray-ed our Sa-vi-our, but Ju-das, the Brother of James, the wri-ter of the general E-pis-tle; each Demetrius', not follow him in the Acts, who made Sil-ver Shrines for Diana, whose gain was his chief-est godliness, but Demetrius' in the third E-pis-tle of S. John, who had a good re-port of all men; every Ignatius i-mi-tate the ve-ne-ra-ble Ignatius, the worthy Mar-tyr of the Pri-mi-tive Church.  
And if it should chance, through the In-dis-cre-ti-on of Parents, and God-fa-thers, that a bad Name should be im-po-sed on any; because Na-bal is his Name, let not fol-ly be with him, but in such a case let them strive to falsify; disprove, and con-fute their Names: o-ther-wise, if they be good, they must an-swer them. And let not my Rea-der be of-fend-ed at my re-pre-sent-ing and re-pre-hend-ing three sorts of peo-ple, as worthy of re-proof, for their ill choice of Names; I having no design to cast any in-ju-ri-ous or dis-in-ge-nu-ous re-flec-ti-on on any person, (high, or low) in the World; but faith-ful-ly to of-fer my opinion, as a candid Christian, for pre-vent-ing the like mistakes, for the fu-ture Generations.  
1. Those con-ceit-ed fantastic No-vi-ces that fix Romantic Names upon their Children, ta-ken from the fond fictions of Pa-gan Poets', and ri-di-cu-lous Romancers, names of no good sig-ni-fi-ca-ti-on, and names of People that never were, which sa-vours more of Romantic le-vi-ty, than of se-ri-ous Chris-ti-a-ni-ty.  
2. They are (in my opinion) no less blame-wor-thy, that bring in Surnames of great Family's (pos-sibly less e-mi-nent for good-ness than great-ness) to jus-tle out Christian names; as if a debauched great one were more ho-nou-ra-ble than the high and holy one of God, by e-steem-ing it a great-er ho-nour to be a Gen-tle-man than a Christian, in pre-fer-ring him before the Christian. And some inferior people, ambitious to i-mi-tate their Su-pe-ri-ors, to look great, instead of a Christian name, will have a great Surname to stand before their little one, to pass for no small ones among their Neighbour's; which pre-pos-te-rous piece of im-per-ti-nent pride must not pass without the de-ser-ved re-proof of an im-par-ti-al Pen.  
3. They are never to be ex-cu-sed that make an ill choice of Scripture names, such as ought not to be fixed on Christian Infant's. Some will have their Son na-med Im-ma-nu-el, (which is by In-ter-pre-ta-ti-on God with us) a Name pe-cu-li-ar to the holy one of God; and those Minister's are blame-wor-thy, that baptise the sin-ful Son of any sin-ful Man with that sacred Name, which, like that blessed Name, Je-sus, is on-ly ap-pli-ca-ble to the im-ma-cu-late Son of God, God the Son. Another Pre-ci-si-an will have one Son called Praise-God, another, Love-God; another, Fear-God; another, Thank-God. Another will baptise his Daughter Pa-ti-ence till Pope be down: And I knew a cra-zy brained Sec-ta-ry, that (a-bove for-ty years since) would have his Son baptised Pe-leg, which sig-ni-fies Di-vi-si-on, as if that Son had been born to ush-er in those dis-mal dis-trac-ti-ons in those do-lo-rous days of Eng-land's fa-tal in-fa-tu-a-ti-on, when, for the Divisions of Reu-ben, there were great thoughts of heart; a Name al-to-ge-ther un-wor-thy a Christian, who is cal-led un-to Peace.   

CHAP. II. Of Words of the same Orthography, and Sound, but different signification, Alphabetically reduced to pleasant Discourses, for the Pleasure and Profit of the Studious Ingenious Reader.  
I Did after (according to) my Masters di-rec-ti-ons, and went after (behind, not before) him, but came (too late) after he was gone.  
Thou art a Master of Art  
I saw an Asp (or venomous Newt) lie under an Asp Tree, whose Leaves, like Lambs Tails, and Women's Tongues, are al-ways wag-ging.  
I saw a Bay horse stand-ing by a Bay Tree, at the end of my new Bay of Build-ing, near the Bay or Ha-ven, where my Dog did Bay a Pheasant, and dis-turb a Dear at Bay.  
The black Bull tossed Goodman Bull upon his Horns, when he had the Pope's Bull (Mandate) in his hand; and a Woman with a Bulls Fea-ther (Curls, or Towers) on her Forehead, put a base Bull upon her Husband, and threw him the Cuckold's Horns for his Fortune.  
Mr. Case sta-ted the case (or mat-ter,) but for want of a case (or cover) for his new Hat, it was in an ill case (or con-di-ti-on) by wearing it in a wet day.  
I made a foolish con-tract, (or a-gree-ment,) and did thereby con-tract (draw upon me) great in-con-ve-ni-en-ces, which did soon con-tract (re-duce) my es-tate to a small scant-ling.  
I did draw (drag or pull) the seen, and I did draw near (ap-proach high) the Cel-lar to draw some Beer, and did draw a Scam in my Coat; and I did draw (com-pose) a complimental E-pi-stle, and by that did draw in (persuade and de-c●y) my Friend to be bound for me; which did draw (suck and drain) his Purse dry, to pay what I had drawn him to.  
I ●●ood upon even (plain) ground, and I weigh-ed the Sil-ver in an even (exact) ba-lance, and I was even (almost) at death's door, and I will be even (quit scores) with you.  
It is sit (re-qui-site) that you should fit (fur-nish) your Cus-tom-ers with Shoes, to be fit (pre-pared, or ready) for a good Market; and let the Pair of Shoes I spoke for, fit (be ex●ct and easy for) my Foot, or I shall fit (punish) your neglect, and put you in-to a trem-bling fit of an A-gue.  
I will give (be-stow) my Alms to the Poor, and I will give (pay) the La-bour-ers their hire, and I will give (pawn or leave) a Pledge in your Hand for the pay-ment of what I own you, and you shall give (re-store) me my Pledge or Pawn when I pay the Debt, and I will give (grant) you a Warrant to search for your Goods, and seize them wherever you find them.  
He was too hard (subtle) for me, and sold me a hard bargain, (a pinch-ing pennyworth,) and he made me carry a hard (heavy) Load, put me in a hard (not soft) Bed, and gave me hard, tart, sour Beer, that was not pleasant, and he made me tra-vel hard, (fast, a great pace,) and gave me a hard Les-son, (dif-fi-cult to learn,) and gave me hard Words, (bitings, Taunts and bitter Re-proa-ches,) and he gives me a hard Cha-rac-ter, (a scan-da-lous Name,) and he gave me hard Blows, (which were not easy,) and it was my hard fate (cru-el fortune) to fall in-to the Hands of such a hard hearted Wretch, so ob-du-rate and des-pe-rate, but hard by (near at hand) I have now met with a bet-ter Master.  
Jack, wind up the Jack, and take the black Jack full of strong Beer to the Ringers, and attend the Gentlemen in-to the Bowl-ing-Green; and take the Jack which you hide, and throw it out on the Green, that the Gamester's may Bowl after it.  
I bought a kind (a like-ly, thri-ving) Swine of my kind Neighbour Goodman Do-well.  
Mr. Long, my old Gown is too short, but it will be long enough ere I get a new one. I long for the Ve-ni-son Pas-●y on your long Ta-ble, not the sergeant Pas-ties on the O-val Ta-ble, where the Mut-ton Pas-sies are set to cozen the Co-ry-dons.  
A lean Man that did lean on a Staff, did lead me to the Lead-Mine, which I call mine.  
I shall, with my Brother's leave, (al-low-ance, or li-cence,) leave (or quit) my Con-cerns to my Son, and leave (be-queath) my Brother a li-be-ral Le-ga-cy, and hope to have enough to leave (spare) to carry on my Sons bu-si-ness bri●k-ly.

I took the List of the Cloth which was bought for the Soldier's, and I read the List of their Names that were to wear it; but I list not to wear such Cloth, or to be a Soldier.  
Mark, you must mark (observe) your Master's In-struc-ti-ons, to mark (brand and Ear-mark) the Sheep, but re-move not the an-ci-ent Landmark, nor fail to hit the Mark you are now to shoot at for the Wa-ger.  
I will make (com-pel) you to do your Task, and I will make you (take pains in in-struct-ing you to be) a Workman; and I will make you a Man, ma-nage, ac-com-mo-date, and ac-com-plish you in your Cal-ling, for your pros-per-ous pro-gress in the way of Trade.  
I went o-ver (cross) the way, and I o-ver-went my Brother, (got before him,) and I came o-ver (cir-cum-vent-ed) my Friend by a Wile, and I did o-ver-come (con-quer) mine E-ne-my by Strength and Po-li-cy.  
He took great pains (hard la-bour) to get Money, and was much troubled at the pains (or penalties) of the Court, and his part-ing with so much Money there for nothing, had like to have brought upon him the pains of death.  
I bought a par-cel of Quickset, and bid my Man be quick in setting the Quick, and I called for a Glass of Ale (that was quick, not dead) for my Supper.  
I will remember (not forget) what you told me, and I will remember (●e-lieve) the Poor-man in want, and I will remember (per-form my promises to) my Friend, and I will remember (requited) your for-mer kind-ness to me, and I will remember (revenge) the da-ring in-so-lence of my in-grate-ful E-ne-my.  
I will sus-pend (de-fer, or delay) the de-cla-ring my judgement in this mat-ter, and will sus-pend (de-grade) the scan-da-lous Scho-lar of his De-grees, and cause the Bishop to sus-pend (discharge) his fac-ti-ous Brother from his Li-ving, and I will sus-pend (hang up) the Traitor for hatch-ing Trea-son against his Sovereign.  
I have a War-rant to take (at-tach) you, and I will take (re-ceive) you in-to my Fa-mi-ly, to de-fend you from fur-ther danger; and I will take (choose) you for my Ad-vo-cate to plead my cause in a weigh-ty con-cern, because I take you (es-teem you) to be a Man of great A-bi-li-ty and In-te-gri-ty, and I will take (chal-lenge) you for one fall, and I will take (swear, sub-scribe, and observe) the Oaths of Su-pre-ma-cy and Al-le-gi-ance to my Sovereign, which the May-or of the Town takes upon him (assumes the Au-tho-ri-ty) to ten-der me.  
The Book you tear, shall cost a Tear, and you shall pay for the Flax Tear which you bought; and I will tyre (at-tire) my Head, and tire (wea-ry) my Horse in Hunt-ing, and I will serve the Prince of Tyre, and re-tire myself from such tire-some ex-er-cise.   

CHAP. III. Of Words of the same sound, but different sense and spel-ling, showing the Sig-ni-fi-can-cy and E-le-gan-cy of the English Tongue. Al-pha-be-ti-cal-ly di-gest-ed.  
YOung Abel is now a-ble to ring a Bell, who did altar the Work at the Alter, and he did as-sent that there should be an as-cent to the Alter of In-cense; and he would not in-cense the Workmen: There he smelled a sweet scent, and sent the com-pa-ny away.  
The Children of Ba-bel did bab-ble, and played with a Bau-ble, and Goodman Ball kicked the Football, and plead-ed for Ba-al, and he gave bail for the Mo-ney due for the Bale of Pa-per which he bought.  
A Tan-ner of Bark-shire brought his Bark (or Boat) here, to fetch away his Oak-Bark, and the Dogs did bark at him.  
I did call for the Caul (or Fat) of the Sheep, and the Cawl of the Periwig, and I let off the Cannon's of the Cas-tle to de-fend the Canon's of the Church, and the Canon's of the Bells from them that want the Rope; and Mr. Calais went to Ca-lice, and took the Chalice to his own House.  
My dear (in-dul-gent) Father, calls me his dear (not be-lo-ved, but cost-ly) Son, because my Ex-tra-va-gan-cy hath cost him dear, for steal-ing the King's Deer, who could never di-gest Ve-ni-son, that sau-sy Meat, since he paid For-ty Pound to save a pre-ci-ous Rogue from Lobbs Pound.  
He was of good descent, (or pe-di-gree,) and was very decent in ap-pa-rel, and did descent from them that were against me; and when he had paid the shot, (or reck-on-ing) he shot a Dragon, and a Dra-goon at one shot; and when he had done, he mount-ed Dun to Dun his Master for Mo-ney due to the Spanish Don.  
Doctor Eton in-vi-ted me to E-ton College to Dine with him; but he had eat-en his Din-ner before I could get thither.  
I gave an Ear to your Dis-course which you whis-per-ed in my Ear, and ere (before) we part, I will show you a large Ear of Corn, which grew on that Land which I purpose to Ear (Blow, or Till) the next Year; And I will set a Hedge on the Edge of that Land to se-cure it, and Est-her shall stay till Eas-ter to look to my Con-cerns.  
I saw a Ra-ven-ous Fowl (or Bird) fly at a Fly o-ver a foul (dirty) way; and I saw a Flow-er stick in the Wheat-Flour on the Plaister-Floor, and because I felt it did freeze, I went in-to the Sheepcote, and put on my Frieze Coat lined with Furs, and fetched some Furze to warm me that Fros-ty Morning.  
The Blood on my Sword with the Gilt Hilt, shows my Gild in shed-ding my Brother's Blood, which the Gilt or Gelt Sow drank up.  
It is very hard (un-rea-son-a-ble) that I cannot be heard (ob-ser-ved) by a rude Herd of in-cul-ti-va-ted Co-ry-dons, and ne-fa-ri-ous Ne-bu-lons, though I live hard by, and was never hard, tart, or cru-el to them. I come here, but they will not hear Reason; and I did hire him that is the Heir, but he is now high-er than to work for me, or Master Eyre, who cannot live upon the Air. I saw the young Spark last Holiday cut down a Hol-ly-Tree, and his Brother Hugh did hue with the Collier's, and made his Face of a strange hue, and was fol-low-ed with a Hue and Cry, and ta-ken for a Fe-lon that had swept a Chim-ney, and a Chest that was li-ned with Sil-ver.  
My Neighbour Job did me a , I find the Man very ingenious, (an a-cute, ex-pert, and dex-te-rous Ar-tist,) and he was very ingenuous (candid and courteous) in his De-mands for what he did: Al-so he did in-cite (in-vite and stir me up) to get an insight in that Inn, that I might keep it, and live like a Man.  
I ken that Man who is of my Kin, (or Kin-dred,) who is very keen against me, because I did res-cue my Kine from him when he was dri-ving them to the Pinfold; and he did bar-ba-rous-ly kill his own Brother at the Kiln for tel-ling him of his un-kind-ness to his Kin-dred.  
Mr. Li-man was wea-ry of his Le-man, and gave her a Lemon and an O-range to be rid of her, whom he did loathe (abhor) and was loath (un-wil-ling and a-sha-med) to be seen in her com-pa-ny, for he had lost a Limb, and did now learn to Limn for a Livelihood.  
Mat-thew Mar-tin caught a Bird cal-led a Mar-ten, and and made his Man Mau-rice dance the Mor-ris hard by the Moat, and pull out the Mote out of his Brother's Eye; and after his u-su-al manner went in-to the Manor Yard, and carried away the Ma-nure for Ma-nu-ring the Land; and Master Manors took him in the manner, (act,) and told him he shown no good Manner's in do-ing that thing; and for a Mite, I might, if it were meet, meet with a Yard-Wand the Meat my Mate did eat in the Mea-dow, and get my Mate to make up the breach between my Man and Mr. Manors.  
My Niece was very nice, and af-front-ed Master Nye, who dwells nigh (near) this place, though he did (never) say her nay in what she de-si-red of him: But the Horse would not (neigh) she bought of him, being naught, good for nought, (for nothing,) and therefore proved a bad Bar-gain.  
The Wa-ter-man took an Onion to weep for his Friend Mr. Vn-win, and desires U-ni-on with his Neighbour's; and he took his Oar, to help me o'er the Ferry, and told me of his Lead-Ore Delft in Dar-by-shire.  
The Princes' of Ger-ma-ny in-vi-ted the Prin-cess of Au-range to a Treat, and presented her with a candied O-range, which she can-did-ly ac-cept-ed.  
An English and French Peer, met at the Peer of Do-ver, where they did dif-fer, and de-fer their mat-ter to a Com-peer, (or e-qual,) then walking on the Rampire, (or Bulwark,) who did Um-peer (or com-pose) the dif-fe-rence, and it did ap-pear, that all this con-test was about a Pear.  
He did pal-li-ate (or cloak) his kna-ve-ry under a pre-tence of courtesy, and plea-sed his pa-late (or taste) with cost-ly cates at a noble Din-ner; and after he had di-ned, he lay down on his pal-let (or couch) to rest him after his sore la-bour, to verify the Old Pro-verb, When the Belie is full, the Bones would be at rest.  
I went to the Stone quar-ry, and saw the Hawk had her qua-ry, and I made a que-ry, whether the Hawk, if he should fly away were worth our inquiry after, or bet-ter lost than found to de-vour the ow-ner: I there was of-fend-ed at a saucy Se-di-ti-ous Woman, and I sent a quoit on an an-gry er-rand to requited the quean, that a-bu-sed the Queen.  
I did raise my cou-rage, when I saw the Rays of the Sun, and before I run my race, I took a race of Gin-ger to com-fort my Sto-mach; but I had more reason to take a Rai-sin, and go to Mar-ket Raisin, to raise one upon his Legs, who is not a-ble to stand or rise without help, and that morn-ing I did Oil the Rein of my New Bri-dle, to save it from the Rain, and it ser-ved me all the last King's Reign, without rot-ting or breaking.  
I went with a Gen-tle-man Sewer, (one that ush-ers up, and pla-ces the Dish-es of Meat on a Nobleman's Ta-ble,) and after din-ner wa● o-ver, we went upon a com-mis-si-on of Sewers to view the Ri-ver, and I told my Friend, here will be pre-sent-ly a great Shower, and we shall be sure to be wet to the Skin, if we get not pre-sent-ly in-to some House hard by, to se-cure us from the Storm, a little de-lay will put it out of our pour to be kept dry, when the Rain will pour down upon us like wa-ter out of a buck-et.  
Here I will rest, and will hear the rest before I go to Rest-Park, to ar-rest my brother, and wrest the pour out of his Hand.  
Mr. Cellier, and Mr. Sel-ler, went in-to the Cel-lar, and both being af-front-ed by an im-per-ti-nent Woman, agreed to sell her for a shoul-der of Mut-ton, and there came in some Sculler's to sea-son some Scholar's with some nap-py Ox-ford Ale in a good sea-son, when Master Would-have-more was ta-king li-ve-ry and sei-sin (pos-ses-si-on) of the Land, he bought of Mr. Had-land, and Mr. Ne-ver-e-nough, ready to seize on the Goods and Cattle on the Ground, for the neglect's of pay-ing three months' in-te-rest when he paid the prin-ci-pal in.  
I sent a pair of Gloves, that had a good scent to my ab-sent Friend, who could not be present at this time, and I gave the poor Woman a safeguard to ride in, and two Men for her safeguard, to con-duct her safe-home-ward, the one is a Sing-er, and the o-ther a Sin-ger, the one brought up to sing Songs, and the o-ther to sing Swine, but let them that are for Sing-ing and Sin-ging take heed of Sin-ning and Swing-ing; this they both took for sage (wise) coun-sel, which went well down with a glass of good sage Ale, which I gave them.  
Jack Jol-ly and I, we two did go to a Flax-mans' Shop, and were too blame for hurt-ing the Shop keeper's Toe, and for not pay-ing him for his Tow, and I was bar-ba-rous to throw a dart that pierced thorough his body, but, through (or by) the fa-vour of a friend that came by, we got a way, a pri-vate way, and afterwards took time to set the Thime in the Gar-den, which we bought of the Gar-den-er.  
The Sow did spoil what I did sow, which made the Sour look sour to view his sore loss, and to see de-vour-ing Rooks and Jackdaws soar aloft, that had done me much hurt, and I did sew my Coat, and sue my Ser-vant Sum, for look-ing no bet-ter to the Sow; and pre-sent-ly there came some Men for a Sum of Mo-ney, and I cal-led my Son to fetch it, but the Sun being very hot, tho' the Lad was before in Health, safe and sound, fell into a swound, and I had much  to save his Life.  
I had ra-ther have this friend-ly Toast, and this con-ve-ni-ent quan-ti-ty of strong Beer, with this com-fort-a-ble mix-ture of Nutmeg and Su-gar in this Chim-ney Nook, near so good a Fire, than to be tossed upon the Sea, in a tat-te-red shat-ter-ed Ship, where there is more, but worse, liquour, and less safety, and I es-teem this pair of Tongues in my Hand, a-bove all the ly-ing Tongues in the World.  
In the Va-ca-ti-on, I follow my Vo-ca-ti-on in ex-pec-ta-ti-on of a good cus-to-mer in good time, to take my ware off my Hand, before I am ware, I last Night when I was wea-ry, took a Vi-al with Cor-di-al Wa-ter, and drank a little, and then took my Vi-ol, and played a Les-son, and my Father did listen, and did not les-sen his kind-ness to me, but now I am bound for Ve-nice, an avowed Vo-ta-ry of Venus'.  
Mr. Wright did teach to write, and he did right in ob-ser-ving the Rite, the Sign of the Cross, which he was not Cross, or per-verse, to op-pose.  
I wrote a Let-ter, which I have by Rote, and that Let-ter wrought good ef-fects on my Friend.  
The Lord May-or of York ex-a-mi-ned the Tradesman's Weights and Mea-sures, whether they were right, and the poor Widow's prayed for him, and the waits of the Ci-ty played before him, and no honest Man fear-ed hard mea-sure from him, who is a righ-teous (right-wise) Man, who al-ways doth right things.  
I yield, that you should fallen and sell the Yew-tree, and kill the Ewe that feeds in the close.

Pi-thy Pro-ver-bi-al Say-ings, col-lect-ed from the Authentic Wri-tings of Learned Wor-thies of several Nation's; with the Author's Am-pli-fi-ca-ti-on, worthy the Readers Ob-ser-va-ti-on, Al-pha-be-ti-cal-ly di-gest-ed.  

A.  
A Bad Custom, like good Cake, is bet-ter bro-ken than kept.  
A Bird in Hand is worth two in the Bush.  
A Dumb Man cannot lie.  
A Woman con-ceals what she knows not.  
A Man's best or worst Fortune is a Wife.  
A Woman's Mind, and a Winter's Wind, change oft.  
A proud Wife and a Backdoor, oft make a Richman poor.  
A Fat House-keep-er makes Lean Executors.  
A fair Hos-tess makes a foul Reck-on-ing.  
An ear-ly Man o-ver Night.  
A Va-li-ant Man before the Battle.  
All are not Thiefs that Dogs bark at.  
A Fool's haste is no speed.  
As a Man is be-friend-ed, his Mat-ter is end-ed.  
A Friend in Court is worth a Penny in a Man's Purse.  
A hun-gry Hawk will seize on a dir-ty Prey.  
A rough Cur never makes good Spa-ni-el.  
A hea-vy Purse makes a light Heart.  
An emp-ty Purse makes a bash-ful Mer-chant.  
Almost and hard by, saves many a Lye.  
A lof-ty Ship car-ries great Sails.  
A little Stream drives a light Mill.  
A small Sum pays a short Reck-on-ing.  
A short Horse is soon cur-ri-ed.  
A Horse cannot e-va-cu-ate Oats that never eat them.  
A good Lead-er makes a good Fol-low-er.  
Aw makes Dun draw.  
A Wool-sel-ler ken a Wool-buy-er.  
All is well that ends well.   

B.  
Before thou marry, be sure of a House wherein to tar-ry.  
Bet-ter sit still, than rise and get a fall.  
Bet-ter Rule than be Ru-led by the Rout.  
Bet-ter learn by thy Neighbour's loss than thy own.  
Bet-ter give than take.  
Bet-ter spare at the Brim than the Bottom.  
Bet-ter leave than lack.  
Bet-ter say here it is, than here it was.  
Bet-ter be envied than pitied.  
Bet-ter a little Fire that warms, than a much that burns.  
Bet-ter be alone than in bad com-pa-ny.  
Bet-ter Children cry, than the Aged weep.  
Brabbling Curs never want sore Ears.   

C  
Cater after kind.  
Cut thy Coat according to thy Cloth.  
Count not thy Chickens before they be hatched.  
Commend a fair Day at Night.  
Confided not in an unfixt fa-mi-li-ar.  
Com-pa-ri-sons and Example's are sometimes o-di-ous.  
Com-mit not the Weather to the Wolf's tu-i-tion.   

D  
Death keeps no Calendar.  
Desert and re-ward go not always together.  
Drawn Wells have the sweet-est Wa-ter, and are sel-dom dry.  
Drink not others Healths, and forget thy own.  
Drink-ing, drab-bing and du-el-ling kill many.   

E.  
Ea-ten Bread is soon for-got-ten.  
Ear-ly to bed, and ear-ly to rise  
Makes a Man heal-thy, wealth and wise.  
E-ven-ing Orts are good morning's fod-der.  
Every Her-ring must hang by its own Gill.  
Every cankered Cur snaps at a stran-ger.  
Every one is for a-do-ring the Ri-sing Sun.  
Every one bast-eth the fat Hog, while the lean one burneth.  
Es-sex styles, Kentish miles, Norfolk wiles, many Men beguiles.  
Ex-pe-ri-ence makes Fools wise.   

F.  
Fat-pan-ches make lean pates.  
Flat-te-ry procures Friendship, but truth ha-tred.  
Fools make Feasts, and Wisemen eat them.  
Fools build Houses, and wise Men buy them.  
Fools lad Wa-ter, and Wise Men catch the Fish.  
Foul Wa-ter quencheth Fire.  
For-bear-ance is no ac-quit-tance.   

G.  
Give to the poor, to increase thy store.  
God, our Prince, our Parents, our Master and our Mi-ni-ster, can never be re-qui-ted.  
Good to begin well, betten to end well.  
Good Wine needs no Bush.  
 should be-taken in part of pay-ment.  
Goods are theirs that use them.  
Green Wood makes a hot Fire.  
Grace will last, but fa-vour will blast.  
Great Spenders are bad lender's.   

H.  
Half an Acre is good Land.  
Hall Ben-ches are slip-pe-ry.  
Happy is he, whose Friends were born before him.  
Has-ty climb-ers have sud-den falls.  
Have many Friends, but one con-fi-ding fa-mi-li-ar.  
He would fain fly, but wants fea-thers.  
He hath a rea-dy mouth for a ripe Cher-ry.  
He car-ries his screw al-ways with him.  
He draws a strong Bow.  
He shoots a sharp Ar-row.  
He talks much, but speaks little.  
He that speaks what he should not, hears what he would not  
He plays well that wins.  
He rides sure that never falls.  
He that is welcome, fares well.  
He that comes uncalled sits un-served.  
He is Meek that was never mo-ved.  
He is Wise that can make a Friend of a Foe.  
He that doth lend, shall lose his Friend.  
He that buys a House rea-dy wrought  
Hath many a pin, and nail for nought.  
Hed-ges have Eyes, and Walls have Ears.  
He shall never pur-chase good pennyworth, that is a-fraid to ask the price.  
He wants not much, that is content with little.  
He that hath most salt must not put too much in-to the pot.  
He loves for little, that hates for nothing.  
He is his own E-ne-my, that is no Man's Friend.  
He that hath but one Hog makes him Fat, and he that hath but one Son, makes him a fool.  
He that cannot pay, let him pray.  
He is poor that can promises nothing.  
He promises like a Mer-chant, and pays like a Man of War.  
He goes far that never turns.  
He may free-ly re-ceive cour-te-sies, that knows how to requite them.  
He gives twice, that gives in a trice.  
Help thyself, and God will help thee.  
He dwells from Neighbour's, who hath not one's praise but his own.  
His Heart is in his Hose.  
He that winketh with one Eye, and looks with another,  
I will not trust him, tho' he were my brother.   

I.  
Ill Weeds need no sowing.  
Illwill never spoke well.  
Idle com-pa-ni-ons lack no ex-cu-ses.  
In-dus-try is Fortune's right Hand, Fru-ga-li-ty her left.  
In a thou-sand pound of Law, there is not an Ounce of Love.  
In time of pros-pe-ri-ty Friends will be plenty,  
In time of ad-ver-si-ty, not one among twenty.  
In Golgotha, are Sculls of all Sizes.  
It's easy rob-bing an Or-chard, when none keeps it.  
It's a sad bur-den to carry a Dead Man's Child.  
It's an ill Dog, that de-serves not a Crust.  
It's un-safe wa-ding in an unknown water.  
It's a run-ning plague to a Horse, when a has-ty Ass rides him.  
It's a fil-thy Flock, where the Sow bears the Bell.  
I like not a Fox, lick-ing a Lamb.   

K.  
Keep good Com-pa-ny, and be of the Number.  
Keep thy Tongue in Pri-son, to have thy Heels at liberty.  
Keep thy Shop, and thy Shop will keep thee.  
Keep some till fur-ther-more come.  
Knot-ty Wood must have smooth wedges.   

L.  
Life is half spent, before we know what it is.  
Lend thy Horse for a long Journey, and take the skin for thy recompenses.  
Let thy Let-ter stay for the Post, not the Post for thy Letter.  
Light gain and quick re-turn makes a hea-vy purse.  
Like good, like Blood, and like Age, make the happiest Mar-ri-age.  
Long-looked for comes at last.  
Little said is soon a-mend-ed.  
Little strokes fell great Oaks.  
Little for the Rake to get after the Besom.  
Love will find out the way.  
Love will creep, where it cannot go.  
Love lives in Cot-ta-ges aswell as in King's Courts.  
Little doth the pampered Steed know, what the poor Packhorse doth un-der-go.   

M.  
Make Hay while the Sun shines.  
Many Hands make light work.  
Man pur-po-seth, but God disposeth.  
Many a good Cow, hath a bad Calf.  
Manner's makes a Man, said William of Wick-ham.  
Mis-un-der-stand-ing brings mistakes to Town.  
Mis-reck-on-ing is no pay-ment.  
My Mind to me a King-dom is.   

N.  
Nature passes nurture.  
Ne-ces-si-ty hath not Law.  
New Lords, new Laws.  
Need makes the Old Wife Trot, and the young Man gal-lop.  
No more haste than good speed.  
No Sunshine without some Sha-dow.  
No body bears all the blame.  
No Man loves his Fet-ters, tho' made of Gold.   

O.  
Old Friends, old Wine, and old Gold are worth prising.  
Old Wood sets Green on Fire.  
On painting and fight look a loof off.  
One Flow-er makes no Gar-land.  
One Swal-low makes no Summer, nor one Woodcock a Win-ter.  
One Eye of the Master seethe more than ten of the Servant's.  
Op-por-tu-ni-ty makes Thiefs.   

P.  
Pa-ti-ence, a Flow-er that grows not in every Gar-den.  
Play, Women and Wine, un-do Men laugh-ing.  
Penny and penny, laid up will be many.  
Praise the ford as you find it.  
Prise an ap-pro-ved Friend, and keep his friendship to the end.  
Po-ver-ty parteth good Fellowship.  
Prop and sit, build and flit.  
Pud-dings and Paramours, should be hot-ly hand-led.   

Q  
Quar-rel not with a quon-dam Cro-ny.  
Ques-ti-on not the fi-de-li-ty of a faithful Friend.  
Quib-ble not with a cap-ti-ous Critic.  
Qui-et-ness a Je-wel worth pur-cha-sing.  
Quick at Meat, quick at Work.   

R.  
Rome was not built in a day.  
Rolling Stones gather no Moss.   

S.  
Self-love a Mote in every Man's Eye.  
Sell not the Bear's skin, till the Bear be dead.  
Sat in thy place, and none can make thee rise.  
Soft Fire makes sweet Malt.  
Soft and fair go-eth far.  
Strike while the I-ron is hot.  
Speak as in the pre-sence of an E-ne-my.   

T.  
The ab-sent par-ty is still faul-ty.  
The ear-ly bird catcheth the Worm.  
The least boy carrieth the great-est Fid-dle.  
The best Workman makes the fewest chips.  
The more Noble, the more hum-ble.  
The sweet-est Wine makes the sharp-est Vin-e-gar.  
The sharp-est Vin-e-gar makes the sa-vo-rist Sauce.  
The Devil's meal is half bran.  
The Life of man is a Winter's day, and a Winter's way.  
Three ills come from the North, cold Wind, shrinking cloth, and c—  
The first point of Hawk-ing is hold fast.  
The Pos-tern Door makes Thief and Whore.  
The great-est Wealth is con-tent-ment with a little.  
The great-est strokes makes not the best Music.  
That is well spo-ken, that is well ta-ken.  
The Gown's hers that wears, and the World his that enjoys it.  
The fairest Silk is soon stained.  
The Old Man's Staff a Rap-per at Death's Door.  
They need much, whom-no-thing will content.  
They that cannot do as they will, must will as they may, and do as they can.  
Time is the Ri-der, that breaks Youth.  
Time and Tide stay for no Man.  
Think no place without a wit-ness.  
Try before you trust.  
Truth and Oil will be up-per-most.  
Tithe well and thrive well.   

V  
Va-lour that parleys is near yield-ing.  
Ven-ture a small Fish to take a great one.  
Use makes per-fect-ness.   

W.  
War makes Thiefs, and Peace hangs them.  
When the Cup is fullest bear it e-ven-est.  
White Sil-ver draws black Lines.  
What thou seest a-miss in another, mend in thyself.  
Welcome Death, quoth the Rat, when he fell in the Trap.  
Wherever you see your Kind-red, make much of your Friends.  
Wil-lows are weak, yet bind o-ther Wood  
Wine in the Bot-tle doth not quench thirst.  
Women's Tongues, like Lambs Tails, will be wag-ging.   

Y.  
Young Lambskins go as soon to the Mar-ket as old Sheep.  
Young Men may die, Old Men must die.  
Youth Rides well when Age holds the Reins.  
Youth and White Pa-per take any Im-pres-si-on.  
You shall have as much fa-vour for a Box on the Ear at Billingsgate.  
You crip-ple the dex-te-ri-ty of a Draw-er by run-ning on the Score.    

A-pho-risms, or Se-lect Sen-ten-ces Mo-ral and Divine, worthy of Ob-ser-va-ti-on.  

A.  
A Good Name more to be de-si-red than a great.  
A good Name is like a Sheep, every place is the bet-ter for him where he comes.  
A wick-ed Man is like a Goat, every place where he comes is the worse for him, who leaves an unsavoury smell behind him.  
A wick-ed be-gin-ning is com-mon-ly at-tend-ed with a wretched end-ing.  
A clear Con-sci-ence, like a Mar-ble Stone, shi-vers the Shafts of Li-cen-ti-ous Tongues that are shot against him that hath it.  
A clear Con-sci-ence need-eth no excuse, nor fear-eth any Ac-cu-sa-ti-on.  
A fawning glozing Tongue the In-dex of a frau-du-lent Heart.  
A frown-ing Coun-te-nance a sus-pi-ci-ous sign of a gentle and ge-ne-rous Nature.  
A frau-du-lent Man can never be a Friend to himself, nor faithful to his con-fi-ding Fa-mi-li-ar.  
Achilles' ha-ted not the Gates of Hell so much as he did those that did not speak as they thought.  
A false fawning flat-ter-ing Tongue is like Poi-son in a Golden Cup.  
As Vir-tue is a Gar-ment of Ho-nour, so Wick-ed-ness is a Robe of In-fa-my.  
As Kings have Ho-nour to coun-te-nance their Action's, so poor Men have Ho-nes-ty to commend their Con-ver-sa-ti-ons.  
Ad-mo-nish thy Friend in pri-vate, commend him in public.  
Anger is soon bu-ri-ed in a Wiseman's Bo-som.  
An Oath not fit to be ta-ken, aught to be bro-ken, because an un-law-ful Oath obliges the Ta-ker to no more than repentance.  
A qui-et com-pe-tent Living a Por-ti-on worth prising.  
A vi-gi-lant care and di-li-gent en-dea-vour to walk worthy thy Vo-ca-ti-on, is the in-dis-pens-a-ble Du-ty of a Christian.   

B.  
Be cau-ti-ous-ly cha-ri-ta-ble, and cha-ri-ta-bly cau-ti-ous.  
Be cir-cum-spect in thy con-fe-rence, and cau-ti-ous in thy confidence'.  
Be not fond of fair Words, to pre-fer the Flowers of May before the Fruits of August.  
Be not proud, po-pu-lar, nor pre-cise, but pre-fer sin-gle-ness of Heart before seem-ing Sanc-ti-ty or Sin-gu-la-ri-ty of Opinion.  
Beware of a Re-con-ci-led E-ne-my.  
Be an Ar-bi-tra-tor as little as thou canst between thy Friends, lest in at-tempt-ing to make them Friends, they for thy In-te-gri-ty and Charity be-come thine Enemy's.   

C.  
Caesar had not been so easy a prey to the traitorous Senates Bar-ba-ri-ty, if he had not been decoyed by flat-te-ry in-to an o-ver cre-du-lous care-less Confidence' of his own safety.  
Christians should en-ter-tain no o-ther sorrow for the Dead, than what is con-si-stent with the hope of the Re-sur-rec-ti-on.  
Curiosity's is a tur-bu-lent and im-per-ti-nent evil; sel-dom is a cha-ri-ta-ble Man cu-ri-ous, or a cu-ri-ous Man cha-ri-ta-ble.  
Ca-pi-tal De-lin-quents sometimes com-mit Crim-son Crimes with more ap-plause than a candid con-sci-en-ti-ous Mi-ni-ster re-proves them; whilst the Re-pro-ver that dares be honest in tel-ling Men faith-ful-ly of their Faults, must (with the mud-dy-brained Rab-ble) pass for a Railer, and the cant-ing Cri-mi-nal ac-count-ed a sin-gu-lar Saint.  
Cau-ti-on aught to be u-sed in cast-ing of Pearls.   

D.  
Do not pros-ti-tute thy Soul for Gain.   

E.  
Every Action of Christ was for our In-struc-tion, but his Mo-ral Action's on-ly for our I-mi-ta-ti-on.   

F.  
Faith doth justify us before God, and good Works testify our Faith and Faith-ful-ness before Men.  
Forget the In-ju-ries, but not the Kind-ness, of an E-ne-my.  
For-ti-tude in Tri-bu-la-ti-on an Ar-gu-ment of a gracious and ge-ne-rous Dis-po-si-ti-on.  
Fear not that which cannot be a-void-ed.   

G.  
Grieve not for that which cannot be re-cal-led.  
God hates an ob-sti-nate Sin-ner, but loves a re-lent-ing Pe-ni-tent.  
Go as thou wouldst be met, sit as thou wouldst be found.  
Good Wine needs no Bush, and he needs not be his own Trumpet that re-al-ly is what he seems.  
Great Employments call for great En-dow-ments: The high-est Pla-ces require the chief-est Grace's.   

H.  
Have Peace with all Men, War with Vice.  
Ho-nes-ty is the best Po-li-cy, and nothing can be pros-pe-rous that is not ingenuous.  
He that would keep himself from Wick-ed-ness, must ad-mit no fel-low-ship or fa-mi-li-a-ri-ty with wick-ed People.  
He that will no evil do, must keep from all that tends thereto.  
Have many Friends, but one con-fi-ding fa-mi-li-ar, in whose sig-nal a-bi-li-ty and fi-de-li-ty, thou may-est re-pose confidence' with sa-tis-fac-ti-on and safety.  
Have Com-mu-ni-on with few, be in-ti-mate with one,  
Deal just-ly with all, speak evil of none.   

I.  
I des-pise B's ar-gu-ments, which are more wit-ty than weigh-ty, having more subtlety than sub-stance, or sin-ce-ri-ty, in them, and I hate the pre-pos-te-rous pre-sump-ti-on of those that pro-mote per-verse disputation's, for am-bi-ti-on and faction's, ra-ther than for con-vic-ti-on and sa-tis-fac-ti-on, whose fol-ly and fal-la-cy ap-pear in their par-ti-a-lity, who seek not Ve-ri-ty but Vic-to-ry.  
In the midst of thy jol-li-ty, be mind-ful of thy Mor-ta-li-ty.  
It is dan-ge-rous for a Man to Live in such a con-di-ti-on, wherein he is a-fraid to die.  
It is the height of Im-pi-e-ty to be har-den-ed with Im-pe-ni-tency.  
I de-test the vile Hypocrisy of those that com-mit Villainy under a Mask and Man-tle of Sanc-ti-ty.  
It is re-qui-red that Minister's should be Lover's of Hos-pi-ta-li-ty; and it were well if un-con-sci-on-a-ble Patron's and Op-pres-sive Impropriators would suf-fer them to show Hos-pi-ta-li-ty as well as love it.  
It is bet-ter to weep with Marry Mag-da-len, than to laugh and quaff with Bel-shaz-zar.  
It is com-mon with pro-fane Mariner's to pray in a storm at Sea, when the Dolphin's begin to play, and the Sea to pray upon them, and to be seem-ing-ly ear-nest in their De-vo-ti-on, with so-lemn Vows of fu-ture re-for-ma-ti-on, for their present pre-ser-va-tion; but as soon as the Tem-pest is o-ver, and the Seamen safe on the shore, their danger and de-vo-ti-on are both for-got-ten.  
If the Rude Rab-ble once get a Re-port by the end of something ill done by their Prince, whether the Re-port be true or false, it is in their Mouths like Wildfire that cannot be quench-ed.  
I have known the great-est Sin-ners, the great-est Sec-ta-ries; and the great-est Pro-fes-sors, the great-est Transgressors in the Nation.   

K.  
Keep within com-pass.  
Keep thine own coun-sel.  
Know thyself.   

L.  
Love and Fortune fa-vour the most Re-so-lute.  
Love others to be be-lo-ved thyself.  
Love hath a large Man-tle to co-ver the Infirmities, and a sweet and shrill Trum-pet to pro-claim the Excellency's of an injured, in-no-cent, and ab-sent Friend.  
Let another's Woes make thee wise.  
Let them teach us, that they may not touch us.  
Look on the Vice's of others as their shame, not thy example; with cau-ti-on and de-tes-ta-ti-on, not as thy Rule for I-mi-ta-ti-on.   

M.  
Make not thyself a Fool to make others mer-ry, nor jest so long till thou be-come one.   

N.  
Name not a Rope in his House that hanged himself, or fell into the Hands of the Hangman.  
Nothing to be ac-count-ed pro-fit-a-ble but what is honest.  
Nothing could teach them, let them teach us.   

O.  
Ob-sti-na-cy and Im-pe-ni-ten-cy ad-ded to Im-pi-e-ty, pro-voke the God of Recompenses to sig-nal Se-ve-ri-ty.  
The Sin-ners de-fence mul-ti-plies the of-fence to the high ag-gra-va-ti-on of the trans-gres-si-on, and the just vin-di-ca-ti-on of the Transgressors con-dem-na-ti-on.   

P.  
Par-don many things to others, but nothing to thyself.  
Pi-e-ty is the best Po-li-cy, and the cir-cum-spect Christian the great-est Politician.  
Pass by with a si-lent care-less neglect's those bark-ing Curs that cannot bite, but on-ly grin and show their Teeth; let them alone, and they will be soon out of breath with barking: But dex-te-rous-ly shun those si-lent sharp-bit-ten Dogs, that, like the Curs of Congo, by't, but bark not.  
Pride severeth a Man from God, ha-tred from his Neighbour, anger from himself.  
Pre-ju-dice cast-eth a false co-lour on the most splen-did and candid Action's of the most vir-tu-ous and ingenuous.  
Pro-spe-ri-ty procureth, Ad-ver-si-ty pro-veth, Friends.  
Prise an ap-pro-ved Friend as thy most pre-ci-ous Trea-sure.   

Q.  
Quench not the Spi-rit by smo-ther-ing those good Motion's of the Holy Ghost within thee, that striwe with thee to make thee holy and happy.   

R.  
Tender not evil for evil, nor rail-ing for rail-ing: If a Dog barks at a Sheep, a Sheep will not bark at a Dog,   

S.  
Sin leaves a sting and a stain upon the Con-sci-ence, to check and choke the wick-ed Man's mirth, who hath many a secret gripe within, even then when his coun-te-nance counterfeiteth a smile without.  
Show can-dour and kind-ness in thy car-ri-age to-wards all Men, so shalt thou carry a good Con-sci-ence with thee, and leave a good Name behind thee.   

T.  
The pu-rest Gold is most ductil, and that is com-mon-ly a good Blade that bends well.  
The an-ci-ent Ro-mans' so pla-ced the Tem-ple of Ho-nour, that none could come at it, but through the Tem-ple of Virtue.  
Think al-ways what thou speak-est, but speak not all that thou think-est.  
Trust not a fa-ding Co-lour in the Coun-te-nance of thine E-ne-my.  
True Friendship is on-ly among good Men.  
The love of feign-ed Friends is like the Winter's Sun, which casts a good-ly Coun-te-nance when it shines, but af-fords very little warmth or com-fort, having less life than lu-stre in his beau-ti-ful Beams.  
There is no af-fec-ti-on or de-tes-ta-ti-on like that of a Woman; These Passion's of love and ha-tred are strong-est in the weak-est Sex: Those whom they love, they love dearly; and those whom they hate, they hate dead-ly.  
Truth seeks no cor-ners, nor fears no colour's; she smiles before the Judge, and is neither a-fraid of the Accusations of Men, nor the Frowns of Tyrant's.  
The Judgement of Charity is not al-ways the Judgement of Ve-ri-ty.  
The con-stan-cy of a Man's good be-ha-vi-our discountenanceth Ca-lum-ny, and makes the Ca-lum-ni-a-tor to be de-ser-ved-ly ab-hor-red.  
The best means to get more than we have, is to be thank-ful for what we have al-rea-dy.  
The Ce-re-mo-ni-al Law was the Gos-pel pro-mi-sed, and the Gos-pel is the Ce-re-mo-ni-al Law ful-fil-led.  
The Mys-te-ries of Sal-va-ti-on were co-ver-ed under the Ce-re-mo-nies of the Law, but are now dis-co-ver-ed in the Doctrine of the Gos-pel.  
The more thou i-mi-ta-test the Virtue's of a Saint de-part-ed, the bet-ter thou celebratest that Saints day. God is not pleased with sur-feit-ing for his sake, who with his fasting so of-ten plea-sed his God.   

U.  
U-ti-li-ty a strong In-duce-ment to In-dus-try and In-ge-nu-i-ty.  
U-ni-ty and A-mi-ty a-dorn Chris-ti-a-ni-ty. How a-mi-a-ble and ac-cept-a-ble, how love-ly and laud-a-ble, how come-ly and seem-ly, how de-cent and pleasant a thing it is for Brothers to dwell to-ge-ther in U-ni-ty! It is like Aa-rons pre-ci-ous and fra-grant Ointment, which ran down from his Head to the Skirt of his Garment; or like Her-mons Pear-ly Dew, that refreshed and enriched the pla-ces where it fell. Nor is Bro-ther-ly Con-cord more pro-fit-a-ble to Man, than plea-sing to God, who cau-seth Bles-sed-ness to set-tle there. As it were so-lemn-ly en-act-ing a Law, that U-ni-ty and Fe-li-ci-ty shall dwell to-ge-ther: For there the LORD com-mand-ed the Bles-sing, even Life for e-ver-more.  
Wisely prize and praise the sig-nal ar-den-cy and sin-ce-ri-ty of the ne-ver-fail-ing un-feign-ed and fer-vent af-fec-ti-on of thy firm, fa-mi-li-ar and faithful Friend.  
Where Flat-te-ry bears sway, Fi-de-li-ty is thrust away.  
Wor-thi-ly are they made Example's, that will take none.    

Rules for Grace-ful Reading.  
Having in the fore-go-ing Chapters, ful-ly shown my Rea-der the pro-per pronounciation of Letter's and Syl-la-bles, according to their different Derivations, and presented my Read-er with In-fal-li-ble Rules for the Re-gu-lar Di-vi-si-on of Syl-la-bles in long Words, il-lus-tra-ted with Five large Table's of Al-pha-be-ti-cal Example's; (a Ta-ble to each Rule.) And made a pleasant im-prove-ment of the va-ri-ous Significations and Elegancies of the English Tongue, in Two Ingenious Al-pha-be-ti-cal instances, the like never before Ex-tant.  
1. Of Words of the same Or-tho-gra-phy, or Spel-ling, being ex-tend-ed to their ut-most Sense, as far as Gram-mar and Custom have made them known to the Learned, one Word ad-mit-ting of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. or more different significations, as they are fre-quent-ly u-sed in the English Tongue.  
2. Of words of the same Sound, (or near it,) but far different Sense and Spel-ling, to ac-quaint my Read-er with the acquaint Criticizms, and cu-ri-ous Charm-ing Elegancies of the English Tongue, for ac-com-plish-ing my Scho-lar with the Flowers of Rhe-to-ri-cal Sense, and Arm him against the per-ni-ci-ous Ser-pent-ine subtlety of craf-ty cant-ing Critics, that study how to speak du-bi-ous-ly, like the De-vil, in the Oracle's of Old, Darklanthorn Language, in the cun-ning choice of such Words, as bear va-ri-ous coun-ter con-struc-ti-ons, to put the bet-ter co-lour on their de-sign-ed de-lu-si-ons; which are here dex-te-rous-ly dis-co-ver-ed, and plea-sant-ly ex-plain-ed and im-pro-ved. And to tender this Work worthy the ob-ser-va-ti-on both of Boys and Men, I have ta-ken no-tice of the pro-per sig-ni-fi-ca-ti-on of Christian Names, with such ne-ces-sa-ry cautions and in-struc-ti-ons, as aught to be pur-sued and ob-ser-ved by all Good Christians.  
And because Pro-verbs are the Wisdom of a Na-ti-on, alike pleasant and pro-fi-ta-ble to speak them, worthy a Wiseman's ob-ser-va-ti-on. I have presented my Read-er with a rich va-ri-e-ty of the choi-cest Pro-verbs, care-ful-ly col-lect-ed from the most ju-di-ci-ous and ingenuous Author's, with some of my own, never before Printed, Al-pha-be-ti-cal-ly di-gest-ed. And to im-print good things in the Me-mo-ry of Youth, I have, with no small pains, presented my Read-er with sun-dry se-lect Sen-ten-ces, (in an Al-pha-be-ti-cal Order,) both Mo-ral and Divine, some of them bor-row-ed from worthy Author's, and some (not a few,) mine own; which are all a-bove the Readers con-tempt or control.  
My next bu-si-ness, is, to pre-scribe short Rules for Grace-ful Reading, the design of the present Chap-ter, as followeth.  
1. Let every Let-ter in a Syl-la-ble, and every Syl-la-ble in a Word, have their due Sound, according to the Rules fore-go-ing, e-ver to be ob-ser-ved.  
2. A-void Stam-mer-ing in your Speech, a na-tu-ral im-pe-di-ment in some, and an affected fault in others, which at first they took a Pride in, and got an ill habit which they could not leave.  
3. Speak not too broad or clown-ish-ly after the rude Custom of the Vul-gar in the remoter Nor-thern and Wes-tern Coun-ties of Eng-land.  
4. A-void the con-tra-ry extreme, to mince your Words, nor speak fi-ni-cal-ly or af-fect-ed-ly, as many con-ceit-ed su-per-ci-li-ous No-vi-ces, that think it be-comes them to play the Fool in speak-ing ri-di-cu-lous-ly.  
But pro-nounce your Words plain-ly and pro-per-ly, without ei-ther af-fec-ta-ti-on, nice-ness, or slo-ven-li-ness, as the Sound of the Syl-la-ble, or Word, will best bear and may be best un-der-stood.  
And as you are to keep due time in Speak-ing, by giving each Word its pro-per pronounciation, long or short, according to Rule and Custom, so you are to altar your Tone or Voice, (modestly, not af-fect-ed-ly,) when in Reading, the Read-er personates sun-dry People, ques-ti-on-ing and ans-wer-ing one another; as God and Adam, the Woman and the Ser-pent, Sa-mu-el, Saul, and the Witch of En-dor, Christ and the Temp-ter, and the like. I should now also show how to pro-nounce an in-ter-ro-ga-ti-on point, or note of ad-mi-ra-ti-on, which is not so briskly to be done by the Pen of the learnedest Au-thor, as by the more pow-er-ful and pre-va-lent in-struc-ti-on, action and de-mon-stra-ti-on of a Li-ving Tu-tor, to the am-ple sa-tis-fac-ti-on of the ob-ser-vant and di-li-gent Read-er. And for placing Pa-ren-the-sis, Periods, Commas, Co-lons, etc. I judge those things too ear-ly to pro-pound to a young Readers consideration, and therefore I de-sign-ed-ly re-serve them, with o-ther things for my next Book, if this wellmeant Piece, (for my en-cou-rage-ment,) find ac-cep-tance with the ju-di-ci-ous and ingenuous.    

CHAP. IU.  
MY next Task is to Teach my Read-er how to write Spruce-ly and Dex-te-rous-ly, without ta-king Pen from Pa-per, ei-ther in ma-king Small or Ca-pi-tal Letter's, for two Neat Hands, with Letter's of the same Cut, and on-ly different in their size and shape, the la-ter being lar-ger and more O-val than the for-mer, with choice co-pies com-po-sed by the Au-thor, for the Read-er to learn and live by, as followeth.  

Copies Alphabetically composed for the Instruction and Observation of Boys and Men.  
These Copies scan, and follow seriously,  
They are Right Lines to Learn and Practise by.  

ADvance in Wit and Learning; grow in Grace,  
And all good Motions let thy Soul embrace.   

Bear and forbear, Triumph in Troubles past;  
Thy Faith and Patience shall be crowned at last.   

Count that day lost, whose low descending Sun,  
Views from thy hand no Virtuous action done.   

Disdain thou no Man; hate base Taunts and Brags:  
Reverence the Hoary Head, tho' clothed in Rags.   

Envy thou not the Oppressor's prosperous days,  
But be content and learn none of his ways.   

Fear thou God and the King; The Laws still keep,  
And thou shalt sing, when Rebel Rake-hells weep.   

Give them that want of thy convenient Store.  
And for thy Bounty God will give thee more.   

Honour thou every Man in his Degree;  
For in so doing, Men will Honour thee.   

Improve thy precious Time and Talents well;  
Detest dire Drunkenness, that Road to Hell.   

Know well thyself, and thy Relations own;  
And prise that Friend, whose faithfulness is known.   

Live every day as thou wouldst then be found  
When Christ shall come, and the last Trump shall Sound.   

Make use of Time, now wisely lay in Store  
For Elder Years, when thou canst save no more.   

No coupled Miseries so sadly greet,  
As Age and Want, when they together meet.   

Offer the Strength and Prime time of thy Youth;  
And riper Age to serve thy God in Truth.   

Prepare for Trying-Tottering Times, my Friend,  
Be patiented, prudent, constant to the end.   

Quench follies flames, all Satan's charms defy;  
Avoid vile Vice and Vicious Company.   

Render to God and Caesar, both their due;  
Unto thy Sovereign, and thy Soul prove true.   

Submit thy will always in every thing,  
To what Gods Righteous providence shall bring.   

Trust still the Living God, and well is thee;  
In dark and gloomy days, thou Light shalt see.   

Unto thy Parents, yield observance due;  
That God may bless thee, and thy Age renew.   

Weigh well the end, ere thou a work begin;  
So shalt thou tremble at the thought of Sin.   

Xantippe, that imperious peevish Wife,  
Made patiented Socrates not fond of Life.   

Young Men be Sober, Serious,  and True,  
Lest thy Grey Hairs thy Youthful follies rue.   

Zealously learn to practise these things well;  
And thou in Grace and Glory shalt excel.     

Numeration Table.  
C Millions. X Millions. Millions. C Thousands. X Thousands. Thousands. Hundreds. Ten. Units. The Right Hand. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 The First Place. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 987 Mill. 654 Thousand 321  9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 98 Mill. 765 Thousand 432   9 8 7 6 5 4 3 9 Mill. 876 Thousand 543    9 8 7 6 5 4 987 Thousand— 654     9 8 7 6 5 98 Thousand— 765  The   9 8 7 6 9 Thousand— 876  Left    9 8 7 — 987  Hand.    9 8 — 98         9 — 9  
Numeration teacheth how to form the Numeral Figures as they must be writ, and to pronounce them with their various Significations as they must be read, as the foregoing Table and following Examples plainly demonstrate.  
1. 11. 111. 1111. 2. 22. 222. 2222. Each Figure on the Left Hand being ten times the value of that on the Right.   

Addition.  
ADdition teacheth you to add two or more Sums together, to make them one whole or total Sum.  
Example: I delivered several Parcels of Sheep to my Shepherd, and desire to know how many they are in all.  
At one time 253 At another time 121 More 312 More 125 More 434 The whole 1245  
For the working of this, and all others of this kind, you must begin with the first and highest Figure on the Right Hand, saying, 3 & 1 is 4, & 2 is 6, & 5 is 11, & 4 makes 15; then set down 5 directly under that Row, and carry 1 to the next place, saying, One 10 which I carry & 5 make 6, & 2 makes 8, & one 9 & 2 make 11, & 3 make 14; then writ down 4 under the Row, and carry one to the next place, saying, 1 that I carry & 2 make 3, & 1 is 4, & 3 is 7, & 1 make 8, & 4 make 12; the 2 you are to set down under the Row, & 1 to the Left Hand; and your whole Number of Sheep is 1245.   

A General Rule.  
Observe to set down all that is above 10 or 10's under the Row cast up, and for every 10, carry 1 to the next place, until you come to the last place, which must always be set down, as in the former and following Examples plainly appear.  
9 8 7 6 9 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 5 4 6 5 3 2 5 7 8 9 7 6 9 9 9 9 5 0 6 5 9   

Addition of Money.  
NOte, That 4 Farthings make a Penny, 12 Pence a Shilling, and 20 Shillings a Pound. Turn your Farthings into Pence, your Pence into Shillings, and your Shillings into Pounds, and the Work is done; but first get this Table by Heart, as followeth.  
d.  s. d. 20 is 1 8 30 is 2 6 40 is 3 4 50 is 4 2 60 is 5 0 70 is 5 10 80 is 6 8 90 is 7 6 100 is 8 4 110 is 9 2 120 is 10 0  
A Steward received several Sums of Money for his Lord, who desires to know how much he hath received in all.  
l. s. d. 99 19 11⅓ 33 00 00 45 15 06½ 63 05 09 29 19 06¼ 13 13 04 15 10 10 51 15 05 353 00 04½  
For casting up this Sum, say, 3 Farthings & 2 is 5, & 1 is 6; set down a Halfpenny, and carry a penny to the pence, saying, 1 & 1 is 2, & 6 is 8, & 9 is 17, & 6 is 23, & 4 is 27, & 5 is 32, & 10 is 42, & 10 is 52; set down 4 pence under the pence, and carry 4 shillings to the shillings, saying, 4 & 9 makes 13, & 5 18, & 5 23, & 9 32, & 3 35, & 5 40, & 6 10's make the 40 shillings 5 pounds; set down 2 cyphers under the shillings, and carry 5 pound to the pounds, saying, 5 & 9 is 14, & 3 is 17, and 5 is 22, & 3 is 25, & 9 is 34, & 3 is 37, & 5 is 42, & 1 is 43; set down 3 & carry 4, saying, 4 that I carry & 9 is 13, & 3 is 16, & 4 is 20, & 6 is 26, & 2 is 28, & 1 is 29, & 1 is 30, & 5 is 35, which you are to set down as in the Example. And the Sum total is 353 l. 00. 04½.  
To prove that it is right cast up, do it without the upper line, and then add the upper line to it, and if both makes up what it is cast up to, it is right, else not.   

Subtraction.  
SUbtraction teacheth how to take any lesser Number out of a greater, and to know what remains, as in these Examples:  
I at several times took into my custody 1597 Sheep, and I delivered forth 1359. I would know how many yet remain with me.  
Received 1597 Delivered 1359 Remains 0238 Proof 1597 Received 95459 Delivered 39569 Remains 55890 Proof 95459  
If all the Figures of the smaller Sum, except the last Figure to the Left Hand, or any one of them be greater of the Sum to be subtracted, than those of the upper line you must subtract from, you must borrow ten, and add 1 to the upper Figure next to be considered, as in the foregoing Example.  
Take 9 out of 7 you cannot, but 9 out of 17, and there remains 8; the 1 that I borrowed and 5 maketh 6, take 6 out of 9 and there remains 3; take 3 out of 5, and there remains 2; take 1 out of 1, and there remains 0 nothing. For proof, if what you delivered, and what remains, make up the whole number received, it is right cast up, as in the foregoing Example plainly appears.  
I received 1597 I delivered 1359 Remains 0238 Proof 1597  
9 and 8 is 17, writ down 7 and carry 1; then 1 and 5 is 6, and 3 is 9; 3 and 2 is 5, and 1 is 1, as in the Example.   

Subtraction of Money.  
THis Rule teacheth how to take any lesser sum out of a greater, and to know what Remains.  
Note, that if some Figure or Figures be greater in the lesser or lower Sum than in the upper, borrow one from the next Denomination, as in Pence to borrow a Shilling, in Shillings you must borrow a Pound, and in Pounds you are to borrow Ten, as before in Addition, and in the following Examples more plainly appear.  
 l. s. d. Received 432 10 4 Paid 256 19 9 Remains 175 10 7 Proof 432 10 4  
Which foregoing Sum is cast up thus, take 9 out of 4, that you cannot, but take 9 out of one Shilling 4 pence, and there remains 7, which you set down under the pence, and say, the Shilling that I borrowed to make 4 pence one Shilling 4 pence, must be paid to the 19 Shillings, saying, 19 and 1 that I borrowed makes 20, take 20 Shillings out of 10 Shillings I cannot, but take 20 Shillings out of one Pound 10 Shillings, and there remains 10, which is set down under the Shillings, then say 6 and 1 that I borrowed makes 7, take 7 out of 2 I cannot, but take 7 out of 12 and there remains 5. 1 that I borrowed and 5 make 6, take 6 out of 3 I cannot, but take 6 out of 13, and there remains 7, the one that I borrowed and 2 make 3, and take 3 out of 4, and there remains 1, which is to be proved as in the former Rule.   

Multiplication Table.  
2 times 2 is 4 3 6 4 8 5 10 6 12 7 14 8 16 9 18 3 times 3 is 9 4 12 5 15 6 18 7 21 8 24 9 27 4 times 4 is 16 5 20 6 24 7 28 8 32 9 36 5 times 5 is 25 6 30 7 35 8 40 9 45 6 times. 6 is 36 7 42 8 48 9 54 7 times 7 is 49 8 56 9 63 8 times 8 is 64 9 72 9 times 9 is 81 10 times 10 is 100   

Multiplication.  
MUltiplication serveth in stead of many Additions, and teacheth of two Numbers given to increase the greater as often as are Units in the lesser.  
Three things strictly to be observed, viz.  

1. The Multiplicand, or Sum to be multiplied.  
2. The Multiplyer, or Sum you multiply by.  
3. The Product, or Sum produced from both.   
Example: In 52 Weeks, which is a whole Year, I would know how many days are there: To do this, first, set down the greatest Number, and the lesser under it, beginning at the Right hand, thus.  
52 Multiplicand. 7 Multiplier. 364 Product.  
Come to the Multiplyer, and say, 7 times 2 is 14, then write 4 under 7, and carry 1 to the next place, saying, 7 times 5 is 35, and 1 I carried makes 36, which you are to set down, having no further place to carry them; and so it appears that there are in 52 Weeks, 364 Days.   

A Second Example.  
I Would know how many Farthings are in 712 Shillings: Note, that 48 Farthings make a Shilling; and to answer your question, first set down your Multiplicand, and under that the Multiplyer, thus: 712 Multiplicand. 48 Multiplyer. 5696 Product. 2848  34176   
For the second Example of Farthings, after you have set down your Sum as you see, then say, 8 times 2 is 16, set down 6 and carry 10, as in Addition, and say, 8 times 1, and 1 I carried, makes 9, which you are to set down; then say, 8 times 7 is 56, which you must set down; then say, 4 times 2 is 8, which you are to set down; 4 times 1 is 4, which you set down, and 4 times 7 is 28, which you are to put down, and sum up the whole, and it appears that there are 34176 Farthings in 712 Shillings.   

A Compassionate Sigh for London's dismal Conflagration, On the Author's amazing view of those devouring Flames, that laid London's Glory in the Dust, Sept. 4. 1666.  

BEhold what Desolation's made by Sin,  
In England's most Renowned Mother-City;  
We to those furious Flames did fuel bring,  
To th' spoiling Her, whose Ruins Challenge Pity.  
Stay, wondering Passenger, let's now begin  
To show our Pity, and lament our Sin.   

What Man so impious as to smile? Alas!  
The Christian World for this hath cause to mourn;  
'Twas England's Sin, brought London to this pass,  
And made the Fire imperiously to burn:  
Our want of Love did London thus inflame,  
To many Thousands loss, and England's shame.   

God highly was displeased, when thus he brought  
So much of that great City to the Dust;  
And had he then consumed us all to nought,  
We must acknowledged, LORD, that thou are just.  
Thou great Preserver, we thy Love admire,  
In saving us, as Brands snatched from the Fire.   

O Happy Citizens, and English Nation,  
If London's Flames refine us from our Dross;  
If Plague and Fire produce a Reformation,  
How great will be our gain by London's loss!  
Then from her Ashes Phoenixlike shall fly  
A Glorious City, fair and rich and high.   

And let all Sons of Hell, that shall conspire  
How on the rest they may Destruction bring,  
Receive at Tyburn their deserved hire;  
LORD, plead our cause, preserve us, and our King.  
That we and ours, Love, Peace and Truth may nourish;  
The Church may Prosper, and the Crown still flourish.    

A Cordial Congratulation of London's Glorious Resurrection, from the late dreadful Conflagration, on the Author's view of the Superlative Splendour of that Famous City, May 29. 1683.  

SEe England's Royal City shine in State;  
London, that saddest spectacle of late,  
Which almost totally subscribed to Fate.   

Behold! A Phoenix from her Ashes rise,  
In Sixty Six made a  Sacrifice,  
Which now herself, and all the World outvies!   

Her splendid Structures, uniform you see:  
O did her Citizens so well agree,  
And manifest their joint conformity   

Then on this joyous City Heaven would smile,  
And be entreated for this sinful Isle,  
If, Dovelike, we lived without gall and guile.   

Let London now be Loyal, Chaste and Wise;  
No Whores nor Traitors mischiefs here devise,  
The fatal causes of our Miseries.   

New Hearts new Houses would adorn full well:  
May Faithfulness in these fair Mansions dwell,  
And London's Glory all the World excel.   

Farewell, fair City, I must still love thee,  
For Quondam candid kindnesses to me,  
Which make me long for thy Felicity.   

Let lovely London live in Wealth and Bliss;  
May Righteousness and Peace each other kiss  
And all Incendiaries their purpose miss.   

May neither Plague nor Flames, nor bloody Wars,  
Foreign Invasions, nor Intestine Jars,  
Come near to touch these stately Gates and Bars.   

May Truth and Peace, LORD, here be ever found;  
And Right and Lefthand blessings still abound,  
And all her Foes Con-vert, or else confound.   

May Court and City well accord always,  
And mutual deuce still to each other pay;  
And may the Sceptre o'er this Sword bear sway,  
Till time shall be no more, till the last day.    

The Scholar's Prayer for the Morn-ing.  
MOst Gracious God, and in Christ Je-sus my most Mer-ci-ful Father, I thy un-wor-thy Ser-vant, de-sire in all hu-mi-li-ty and sin-ce-ri-ty, to of-fer up myself, Soul and Bo-dy, a li-ving Sa-cri-fice, holy and ac-cept-a-ble un-to Thee, which is but my rea-son-a-ble Ser-vice, which I be-seech Thee ac-cept for thy Son's sake, in whom thou art well plea-sed. I bless thy Name for thy pre-ser-va-ti-on of me this last Night, and bringing me to behold the Light of a cheerful Morn-ing, cause thy Face to shine upon me this Day, that I may walk in the Light of thy Coun-te-nance, quick-en my dul-ness to seek Thee, en-light-en my Dark-ness to know Thee, en-li-ven my dead-ness to serve Thee. Give me the Faith and Faith-ful-ness of Abraham, the Fear and fi-li-al O-be-di-ence of Isaac, the In-dus-try and In-te-gri-ty of Ja-cob, the Chas-ti-ty and Charity of Jo-seph, the Mag-na-ni-mi-ty and Meek-ness of Moses, the De-vo-ti-on of Da-vid, the Re-so-lu-ti-on of Jo-shu-ah, the Pi-e-ty and Pa-ti-ence of Job, and the Pe-ni-ten-cy of Peter. Di-rect me in thy Way, establish me in thy Truth, keep me in thy Fear, protect me by thy Pour, sup-port me by thy Grace, and con-duct me to thy Glo-ry. Send thy Gos-pel, where it is not, and prospero it where it is. Be Gracious to these Church's of Great Bri-tain, and Ire-land, and let the Christian Re-li-gi-on, according to the Pro-fes-si-on of the Church of Eng-land, flou-rish in these Kingdom's, so long as the Sun and the Moon en-dure. Bless the Kings Most Ex-cel-lent Ma-jes-ty, my Gracious Sovereign; that he may Reign long to Thy Glo-ry here, and E-ter-nal-ly with Thee in Glo-ry here-af-ter: Bless him in his Roy-al Re-la-ti-ons, bless him in his Counsel's, bless him in his Na-vies and Army's, bless him in all his Subjects', and bless all his Subjects' in him, that we may be all happy in the Love of our Sovereign, and our Sovereign happy in the Loy-al-ty of his Peo-ple. Bless my Dear Parents, and near Re-la-ti-ons, my Guar-di-ans and Governor's, my Master and Mi-ni-ster set o-ver me in the LORD, with all my Christian Friends and Acquaintance, and re-pay all their kind-nes-ses to me, an Hund-red Fold in-to their Bosom's. Bless me in my Meditations and Con-ver-sa-ti-on, that in both I may be ser-vice-a-ble to thy Glo-ry in my ap-poin-ted Sta-ti-on, by ser-ving my Ge-ne-ra-ti-on according to the Will of God; give me a quick Ap-pre-hen-si-on, a right Understanding, and a Faithful Me-mo-ry to re-tain and practise what is Good, and suf-fer me never to dis-ho-nour Thee with the Mercy's received from Thee. Sea-son my ten-der Years with thy Grace, that I may fly youth-ful Lusts, and cleanse my way by ta-king heed according to thy Word, give me Wisdom to dis-cern, Hu-mi-li-ty to Embrace, and con-stan-cy to hold fast the Truths of the Gos-pel, give me a sin-cere love to thy Servant's, a de-light in thine Or-di-nan-ces, a Re-ve-rence to thy Sab-baths and Sanc-tu-a-ry, and a Zeal for thy Glo-ry, that I may bring forth Fruit un-to Ho-li-ness, and reach my much de-si-red end, e-ver-last-ing Life, and all for Je-sus Christ's sake, the Son of thy dearest Love, in whose most pre-ci-ous and pre-va-lent Name and Words, I conclude my im-per-fect pe-ti-ti-ons, saying as he himself hath taught us in his Holy Gos-pel, Our Father, etc.  
Pre-vent me, O LORD, in all my do-ings, with thy most Gracious Fa-vour, and fur-ther me with thy con-ti-nu-al help, that in all my Works, be-gun, con-ti-nu-ed, and end-ed in Thee, I may glorify thy Holy Name, and fi-nal-ly, by thy Mer-cy, ob-tain E-ver-last-ing Life, through Je-sus Christ our LORD. Amen.   

The Scholar's E-ven-ing Prayer.  
MOst Glorious and most Gracious LORD God, who art the Father of Mercy's, and the God of all Con-so-la-ti-on, the Au-thor of my being and well-being, I beseech Thee for Je-sus Christ's sake, ac-cept my E-ven-ing Sa-cri-fice of Praise and Thanks-gi-ving, for thy great Good-ness to me this Day, in pre-ser-ving me from the dangers of it, for rai-sing me up Friends, for sup-ply-ing my Wants, and pros-pe-ring my En-dea-vours. Par-don my Sins, O LORD, which tender me un-wor-thy the con-ti-nu-ance of thy Fa-vours, sub-due my Corruptions, sanctify my affection's, and en-a-ble me to every good Word and Work. Affect my Heart with the L●ve of Thee, that I may never forget the great things thou hast done for my Soul, that thy Pa-ti-ence, For-bear-ance and Lo-ving Kind-ness to-wards me, may lead me to Repentance, O-be-di-ence and Thank-ful-ness- Keep me from the Sin of Vncharitableness, that my Soul may never be Im-bit-ter-ed with Ma-lice, nor my Hands de-fi-led with Blood, give me the Wisdom from a-bove, which is first Pure and then Peace-a-ble, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of good fruit without par-ti-a-li-ty and without Hypocrisy; Adorn my Soul with that Ex-cel-lent Orn-a-ment of a meek and a qui-et Spi-rit, which is in thy sight of great price, that I may never be o-ver-come of Evil, but may o-ver-come others Evil with my Good. Look down in Mer-cy upon all Jews, Turks and Infidels, bring them to the knowledge and acknowledgement of the Truth, as it is in Je-sus, that they may be a wil-ling Peo-ple in the day of Thy Pour. Re-move all im-pe-di-ments out of the way, that hin-der the com-ing of thy King-dom. Bl●ss all the Plantations of the Gos-pel beyond the Seas, and per-pe-tu-ate the pros-pe-rous pro-gress of it in these Nation's. Bless the Kings Most Ex-cel-lent Ma-je-sty, the Queen and Roy-al Fa-mi-ly, the Councils, the No-bles, the Judges, the Magistrate's, the Minister's, the Gen-try and Commons'; his Majesties N●-vies and Army's, all Sorts and De-grees of Peo-ple. Par-don our Pro-vo-ca-ti-ons, u-nite our Di-strac-ti-ons, com-pose our unhappy dif-fer-ences, and made up our un-Chris-ti-an breaches that Glo-ry may dwell in our Land. Bless the Roy-al City, let Truth and Loy-al-ty, Peace and Plen-ty be within her Walls, and Pi-e-ty and Pros-pe-ri-ty within her Pa-la-ces; That neither the de-stroy-ing Sword, the dread-ful Pes-ti-lence, nor the de-vour-ing Flames, may never a-gain Triumph o-ver her Dwel-lings. Bless the Governor's and Go-vern-ment of it, that Offender's may be pun-ish-ed, Wick-ed-ness ban-ish-ed, Rude-ness re-strain-ed, Drunk-en-ness de-tect-ed, Swear-ing and Blas-phe-my se-vere-ly cen-su-red, Want-on-ness chastized, Per-ju-ry stigmatised, Faction's kerbed, Schism and Heresy re-bu-ked, Pride hum-bled, Hypocrisy un-mask-ed, the Na-ked clo-thed, the Hun-gry re-fresh-ed, the Fee-ble streng-then-ed, the Nee-dy re-lie-ved, the af-flic-ted com-for-ted, the Lan-guish-ing Soul sup-por-ted, the Hum-ble ex-alt-ed, the Vir-tu-ous re-ward-ed, God's pure Word and Wor-ship main-tain-ed, his faithful Minister's en-cou-rag-ed, Su-per-sti-ti-on and Pro-fane-ness dis-coun-te-nan-ced, and all the Enemy's of the Truth sup-pres-sed, the King-dom of Grace ad-van-ced, and the King-dom of Glo-ry has-ten-ed, and so come Lord Je-sus, come quick-ly. Bless my Dear Parents, and en-a-ble thine un-wor-thy Ser-vant in some mea-sure to requited them for their Pa-ter-nal kind-nes-ses to me, and their ten-der care o-ver me, bless all my Re-la-ti-ons, Faithful Friends and good Neighbour's. Let the bles-sings of both Worlds be their por-ti-on, for-give mine Enemy's, and suf-fer it not to be in the pour of their Hand to do me hurt, but in-cline their Hearts to do me good. Let my ways so please Thee, that mine Enemy's may be at Peace with me. Take me in-to thy Tu-i-ti-on this Night, suf-fer no Evil to come nigh my Person or Ha-bi-ta-ti-on, light-on mine Eyes that I sleep not the sleep of Death, but raise me up in the Morn-ing, a-bund-ant-ly re-fresh-ed with thy Mer-cy, enabled with cheerfulness to do Thee Ser-vice. And Grant that I may Live in thy Fear, and Die in Thy Fa-vour, and rest in thy Peace, and Rise in thy Pour, and Reign with Thee in Thy Glo-ry. And all for the sake of the Son of Thy Love, Je-sus Christ the Righ-te-ous, for whom I for e-ver de-sire to Bless Thee, and in whose most Blessed Name and Words, I fur-ther call upon Thee, saying, Our Father, etc.  
The Grace of our LORD Je-sus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Fel-low-ship of the Holy Ghost be with us all e-ver-more. Amen.   

A short Prayer, or Grace before Meat.  
MOst Gracious God, we be-seech thee com-mand a Bles-sing on these thy good Creature's provided for us. Give us Grace, to re-ceive them Thank-ful-ly, as from thy Hand, and to use them so-ber-ly, as in thy sight, through Je-sus Christ our Lord. Amen.   

A Thanks-gi-ving after Meat.  
WE Bless thy Name, Most Boun-ti-ful God, for re-fresh-ing us at this time with Thy good Creature's. We hum-bly be-seech Thee, likewise to re-ple-nish our Souls with thy Grace, and prepare us for thy Glo-ry.  
Bless thy Universal Church, our Gracious King, the Queen, the Roy-al Fa-mi-ly, and these Realms, and give us Health, Peace and Life E-ver-last-ing, Through Je-sus Christ our LORD. Amen.   

Before Meat.  
O LORD, we be-seech Thee, bless these thy good Creature's to us, which thou hast boun-ti-ful-ly be-stow-ed upon us. Give them strength to nou-rish us, and us grace in that strength to Glorify Thee, Through Je-sus Christ our LORD, A-men.   

After Meat.  
BLes-sing, and Glo-ry and Praise, be gi-ven to Thee, most Gracious God, for these and all other Thine in-es-ti-ma-ble Be-ne-fits to us, streng-then us by thy Grace, and fit us for thy Glo-ry, make us wise to prize and im-prove them to thy Glo-ry.  
Bless thy Universal Church, with Truth and Unity, the King's Ma-jes-ty, the Queen and Roy-al Fa-mi-ly, with Tem-po-ral and E-ter-nal Fe-li-ci-ty, these Nation's with Peace, Plen-ty, and Pros-pe-ri-ty, and in-crease Bro-ther-ly Love and Charity, Through Je-sus Christ our LORD, Amen.
