An Essay Towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"It were exceedingly desirable that the names of things might consist of such sounds as should bear in them some analogy to their natures; and the figure and character of their names should bear some proper resemblance to those sounds that men might easily guess at the sense or meaning of any name or word, upon the first hearing or sight of it. But how this can be done in all the particular species of things I understand not, and therefore shall take it for granted that this character must be by institution".--An Essay Towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language (1668) by John Wilkins "tis agreed upon as most probable, that the lower story [of Noah's Ark] was assigned to contein all the species of beasts, the middle story for their food, and the upper story, in one part of it, for the birds and their food, and the other part for Noah, his family and utensils."--An Essay Towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language (1668) by John Wilkins |
{{Template}} An Essay towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language (London, 1668) is a text by John Wilkins in which he expounds a new universal language, meant primarily to facilitate international communication among scholars, but envisioned for use by diplomats, travelers, and merchants as well.
Unlike many universal language schemes, it was meant merely as an auxiliary to — not a replacement of — existing "natural" languages.
The book was the object of "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins" (1942), a text by Borges.

Wilkins' scheme
Wilkin's "Real Character" is an ingeniously constructed family of symbols corresponding to an elaborate classification scheme developed at great labor by Wilkins and his colleagues, which was intended to provide elementary building blocks from which could be constructed the universe's every possible thing and notion. The Real Character is emphatically not an orthography in that it is not a written representation of oral speech. Instead, each symbol represents a concept directly, without (at least in the early parts of the Essay's presentation) there being any way of vocalizing it at all; each reader might, if he wished, give voice to the text in his or her own tongue. Inspiration for this approach came in part from (partially mistaken) accounts of the Chinese writing system.
Later in the Essay Wilkins introduces his "Philospophical Language," which assigns phonetic values to the Real Characters, should it be desired to read text aloud without using any of the existing national languages. (The term philosophical language is an ill-defined one, used by various authors over time to mean a variety of things; most of the description found at the article on "philosophical languages" applies to Wilkins' Real Character on its own, even excluding what Wilkins called his "Philosophical Language")
For convenience, the following discussion blurs the distinction between Wilkins' Character and his Language. Concepts are divided into forty main Genera, each of which gives the first, two-letter syllable of the word; a Genus is divided into Differences, each of which adds another letter; and Differences are divided into Species, which add a fourth letter. For instance, Zi identifies the Genus of “beasts” (mammals); Zit gives the Difference of “rapacious beasts of the dog kind”; Zitα gives the Species of dogs. (Sometimes the first letter indicates a supercategory— e.g. Z always indicates an animal— but this does not always hold.) The resulting Character, and its vocalization, for a given concept thus captures, to some extent, the concept's semantics.
The Essay also proposed ideas on weights and measure similar to those later found in the metric system. The botanical section of the essay was contributed by John Ray; Robert Morison's criticism of Ray's work began a prolonged dispute between the two men.
Related efforts, discussions, and literary references
The Essay has received a certain amount of academic and literary attention, usually casting it as brilliant but hopeless.
One criticism (among many) is that "words expressing closely related ideas have almost the same form, differing perhaps by their last letter only...[I]t would be exceedingly difficult to remember all these minute distinctions, and confusion would arise, in rapid reading and particularly in conversation." (Umberto Eco notes that Wilkins himself made such a mistake in the Essay, using Gαde (barley) where apparently Gαpe (tulip) was meant.)
George Edmonds sought to improve Wilkins' Philosophical Language by reorganizing its grammar and orthography while keeping its taxonomy. More recent a priori languages (among many others) are Solresol and Ro.
Jorge Luis Borges discusses Wilkins' philosophical language in his essay El idioma analítico de John Wilkins (The Analytical Language of John Wilkins), comparing Wilkins’ classification to the fictitious Chinese encyclopedia Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge and expressing doubts about any attempt at a universal classification.
In Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, character Daniel Waterhouse spends considerable time supporting the development of Wilkins' classification system.

My Lord ,
NOW at length prefent to your Lordjhip thofe Papers I had drawn up concerning a Real Chara&er, and a Philolbphicall Language, which by fever all Orders of the So- ciety hdve been required of Me. I have been the longer about it, partly becaufe it required fome confiderahle time to reduce the ColleBions I had by me to this purpofeynto a tolerable or- der ; and partly becaufe when this wor\ was done in Writing, and the Impreffion of it well nigh finijhed, it hapned f amongfe many other better things J to be burnt in the late dreadfull Fire ; by which, all that was Print- ed f excepting only two Copies J and a great part of the unprinted Original was deferoyed: The repairing of
which, hath tafyn up the greatefl part of my time ever fence . I mention this by way of Apology for that flacl £
nefs and delay, I may feem to be guilty of in my obedience to your Orders.

I am not jo vain as to thinly that I have here com-
pletely finijhed this great undertaking , with all the ad-
vantages of which fuch a defgn is capable. Nor on the
other hand , ami fo diffident of this EflTay, as not to be-
lieve it fufficient for the bufinefs to which it pretends,
Hamely the difiintf expreffion of all things and notions
that fall under difcourfe.
1 am fenfible of fundry defeBs in the fever all parts of this Bool^: And therefore would makg it my humble mo- tion to your Lordjhip and this Society , that you would by your Order appoint fome of our number , thoroughly to examin confider the whole, and to offier their thoughts concerning what they judge fit to be amended in it. P ar- ticular ly in thofe Tables that concern the jpecies o/" Na- tural bodies ; which, if they were ( fo far as they are yet hpown and dij covered ) difiin&ly reduced and defer ibed. This would very much promote and facilitate the Iptow- ledg of Nature, which is one great end of your Inflitu- tion. And befides , the ranging of thefe things into fuch an order as the Society jhall approve, would afford a very good method for your Repofitory, both for the difpolal of what you have already , and the fupplying of what you want, towards the comp leafing of that CoUeBion, fo gerteroufiy begun of late, by the bounty of M r * Daniel Collwal, a worthy Member of this Society. And by this means, I Jhould not doubt, but that in a very jhort face , you would have the mofi ufefull Repofitory in the World.
It is no eafie undertaking to Enumerate all fuch mat- ters as are to be provided for in fuch a defign ; But the bufinefs. of Defining , being amongfi all others the mofi nice and difficult , mufi needs render it a very hard tas \ for any. one to attempt the doing of this, for all kfinde of'*

ZJpon which account I may he excufed for being fo follicitous about the affifiance of others in thefe matters , ( bee aufe of their great difficulty and 'importance. The compleating of fuch a defign, being rather the worl^of a College and an Age, then of any (ingle Perfion : I mean, the combined Studies of many Students , amongfi whom the fever all Jhares of fuch a Worl^fhould be difiributed; And that for fo long a courfe of time , wherein fufficient experiments might be made of it by practice.
It has been fayd concerning that famous Italian Aca- demy fiyled de la Cru fca.,confifiing of many choice Men of great Learning , that they beftowed forty years in fi- nifhing their Vocabulary, And *tis well enough fnown, that tbofe great Wits of the French Academy , did begin their Dictionary in the year 1639. And for the hafi- ning of the W ort^, did diflribute the parts of it amongfl fever all Committees ; and yet that undertaking is (~ for ought I can under (land ) far enough from being finifhed.
Now if tbofe famous Ajfemblies confi fling of the great Wits of their Age and Nations, did judge this WorJ^of DiCtionary-making, for the polifhing of their Language , worthy of their united labour and fiudies ; ■ Certainly then , the Defign here pr op ofe drought not to be thought unworthy of fuch affi fiance ; it being as much to be preferred before that , as things are better then Words, as real knowledge is beyond elegancy of fpeech, as the general good of mankind, is beyondthat of any particu- lar Countrey or Nation.
I am very fenfible that the mofi ufefull inventions do at their fir fi appearance , make but a very flow progrefs in the World, unlefs helped forward by fome particular ad- vantage

to expeff the libg Fate for the defign here propofed .
The only expedient I can thinf^of againfl it, is. That it be fent abroad into the World, with the reputation of having bin confidered and approved of, by fuch a Soci- ety as this ; which may provoke , at leaft , the Learned part of the World, to talf notice of it, and to give it fuch encouragement, as it /ball appear to deferve.
And if upon fuch an amendment and recommen- dation by this Society, the defign here propofed, fhould happen to come into common ufe. It would requite the Honour you befiow upon it,, with abundant Interefi. The being Infirumental in any fuch discovery as does tend to the ZJniverfal good of Manbfnd, being fujficient not only to maJ^e the Authors of it famous, but alfo the Times and Places wherein they live .
He that Jpaows how to eflimate, that judgment infi- xed on Mankind in the Curfe of the Confufion with all the unhappy confequences of it , may thereby judge , what great advantage and benefit there will be, in a re- medy againfl it.

To which it will be proper for me to add. That this depgn will hi^ewife contribute much to the clearing of fome of our Modern differences in Religion, by unmask- ing many wild errors , that pelter themfelves under the dtfguife of affelied phrafes ; which being Philofop hie ally unfolded, and rendered according to the genuine and na- tural importance of Words, will appear to be inconpfen- cies and contradictions. And fever al of thofe pretended , rnyferious , profound notions , expreffed in great fwelling words, whereby fome men fet up for reputation, being this way examined,will appear to he, either nonfence, or very fat and jejune .

TO THE
READER.
I T may perhaps beexpeUed by fame, that I fijould give an account of my
engaging in a Work^ cf this nature fo unfuitablt to my Calling and Eufi-
nefs.
For the fit isf a3 ion of fitch, they may pleafe to take notice, that this • Work, was firfi undertaken, during that vacancy and leafitre which I formerly enjoyed in an Academical! jlation , to which the endeavours cf promo- ting all kind of ufefull knowledge , whereby Learning may he improved , k a very fisitable employment. In the time of that daily and intimate converfa which / then injoy ed, with that moft Learned and excellent Perfon Dr. Seth Ward ,the prefint Bifhop of Salisbury. I had frequent occafion of conferring with him , concerning the various Defiderata, propofid by Learned men , or fuch things as were conceived yet wanting to the advancement of fever al parts cf Learnings amongjl which, this of the liniver fid Character, was one of the principal, moji of which he had more deeply conftdered, than any other Perfon that I knew. And in reference to this particular, he would fay. That as it was ont of the moji ufefull, Jo he judged it to be one of the moft fealible, amongft all the reft , if pro- fecuted in a regular wa y. But for all fich attempt to this purpofi , which he had either feen or beard of, the Authors of them did generally miftakg in their ftrft foundations', wbilft they did propofi to themfilves the framing cffacbaChz - raster, from a Di&ionary of Words, according to fame particular Language, without reference to the nature of things, and that common notion of them, wherein Mankind does agree , which mkft chiefly be refpeHed , before any attempt of this nature could fignifie any thing , as to the main end of it.
It was from thk fiuggeftion of his , that I ftrft bad any diftinft apprehenfion of the proper courfa to be obfirvedfin fitch an undertaking 5 having in a Treatifi t hadpublijbed fame years before, propofid the Hebrew Tongue as confifting of fewefi Radicals , to be the fitteft ground work, fir fichadejign.

The Epistle
Befides the many Private conferences to this purpofe , I mujl not for yet
to mention , that Publique account which he hath given to the World, of
his thoughts upon this JubjeB , in that Learned and Ingenious difeourfe flyled
Vindicia» Academiarum 3 wherein he endeavours to Vindicate thofe Ancient
and famous Schools of Learning , from fuch reproaches , whereby feme Ig-
norant and ill-natured men ( taking the advantage of thofe bad Times )
would have expojed them to contempt and mine. In which Treat's ft there
is mention made of fame conftdcrable preparations , towards the Dejign here
propofed , which if his other necejjary imployments would have permitted
him to have profecuted , would without doubt , long ere this , have been ad-
vanced to as great a Perfection , as the firfi Ejjay info difficult a matter could
have attained.
It was fome conjiderable time after this , before I had any thought of attempting any thing in this kind : The firfi occajion of it was , from a,
defire I had , to give fome ajjiflance to another perjon , who was willing to ingage in this dejign of framing a real Cha rafter , from the Natural no- tion of things 3 for the helping of whom in Jo worthy an undertaking. ,
I did offer to draw up for him , the Tables of Subftance , or the Jpecies
Natural Bodies, reduced under their fever al Heads 3 which I did accord '- ingly perform, much after the fame Method , as they are hereafter Jet down : I hough in the doing of it , I found much more labour and difficulty , then I expelled, when I undertook, it. But he for whom I had done this, not liking this method , as being of too great a Compafs , conceiving that be could fifficiently provide for all the chief Radicals , in a much briefer and more eafy way , did not think fit t0 ma k? uje of thrfe Tables. Vpon which, being my felf convinced , That this which I had begun , was the only courfe for the effeBing of fuch a work., and being withal unwilling to loofe Jo much pains as I had already taken towards it, I refolved ( as my leajure would permit ) to go on with the other Tables of Accidents. And when after many reviews and changes I had reduced (” as well as I could ) into thefe Tablet , all ftmple things and notions , by a Considera- tion of them a Priori , I then judged it necejjary to attempt the redu- & ion of all other Words in the Di&ionary to thefe Tables , either as they were Synonymous to them , or to be defined by them, which would be a means to try the fulnefs of thefe Tables , and confequently to fupply their defeBs 3 And befidet a great help to Learners, who without fuch a dire&ion , might not perhaps at firfi be able to find out the true place and notion of many Words.
For the farther compleatiug of this Work., I found it necejjary to take into confideration , the framing of fuch a Natural Grammar, as might he Jisited to the Philofophy of Speech, abjlrading from thofe many unnecejjary rules belonging to injlituted Language 3 which proved a matter of no J mall difficulty , confidering the little help to be had for it , from thofe few Authors who had before undertaken to do any thing in this kind.
. In the doing of thefe things , I have not. negle&ed any help that I could procure from others , and mujl acknowledge my felf much ingaged to Juh- dry Learned Men of my acquaintance , for their direQions , and furtherance in fuch matters , as were ntojl fuitable to their fever al Studies and Prqfcfi fions.
Amongjl the rejl , I mujl not forget to make particular mention of the Jpecial ajjiflance ‘ I have received , in drawing up tie Tables of Animals
from
j from that m oil Learned and Inquifitive Gentleman , a worthy Member of the
Royal Society, Mi*. Francis Wjlloughby, who hath made it his particular
bufiuefs, in hit late travails through the mofi confiderable parts of Europe ,
to inquire after and underfiand the fiver al fifties of Aqimals, and by his
own obfirvatioris is able to advance that part of Learning , and to add many
things , to what hath been formerly done, by the mofi Learned Authors in thiv
kfisd.
And as for thofi mofi difficult Tables of Plants, I have received the like ajfifiance , from one of his Companions in Travail , Mr. John. Wray, Late fellow of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge , who befides his other general * Knowledge y hath with great ficcefi apply ed himfilf to the Cultivating, of that part of Learning.
Andos for the principal difficulties , which 1 rHe^with in any other part of this* Wor^ lynufi acknowledge my filf obliged to the continual ajfifiance I have bad, from my mofi Learned and worthy Friend , Dr. William Lloyd , then whom ( fifar as lam able to judge, j this Nation could not. have afforded d fitter Perfon , either for that great Induftry , or Accurate judgment , both in Philological, and Philofophical matters , required to fitch a Works dnd particularly I mufi wholy aferibe to him that tedious and difficult tasks of fitting the Tables to the Diftipnary , and the drawing up of the Di&ionary it filf, which upon try aft doubt not , will be found to be the mofi perfeS , that was ever yet made for the Englifh Tongue.
And here I think it prpoer to give notice that there are fever al Words / mentioned in the Di&ionary , and frequently ufed amongfi fiome Authors, which are yet very quefiionable as to their fitnefs and propriety : Each of thefi ■ were in the Original Coppy marked with an Afterisk , for the better difiin&jon of them'-, but by feme overfight, thefi marks have been omitted in the Ins. prejfion.
if any Jbalt figgefi , that fome of thm Enquiries here infified upon ( as par- ticularly thofi about the Letters of the Alphabet') do fiem too minute and trivial , for any prudent Man to befiow. his firious thoughts and time a- bout. Such Perfons may know, that the difiovery of the true nature and baufiof any the mofi minute thing, doth promote real Knowledge, and there- fore cannot be unfit for any Mans endeauours , who is Willing to contri- bute to the advancement of Learning. Vpon which A f count fome of the mofi eminent Perfons , in fever al Ages , who were Men of bufinefs , have not difdained to befiow their ‘pains about the Firfi Elements of Speech . v ,

N the handling of that fubjeCi , I have here I.
propofed to tredt of, I (hall digeft the things
which to me feem moft proper and material
to be (aid upon this occafion, into four parts 5
according to this following Method.
In the firft Part I (hall prerpife fome things as Prdcognita , concerning fuch Tongues and Letters as are already in being , particularly concerning thofe various defe&s and imperfe- S ions in them, which ought to be fupplyed and provided againji , in any fuch Language or Chara&er, as is to be invented according to the rules of Art.
The fecond Part (hall coritein that Mich is the great foundation of the thing here defigned , nataely a regular enumeration and defeription of all thofe things and notions, to which marks or names ought to be afligned according to their refpettive natures , which may be ftyled the Scientifical Part, comprehending Vniverfal Philofipbp. It being the pro- per end and de(ign of the feveral branches of Philofbphy to reduce all things and notions unto fuch a frame, as may exprefs their natural order, dependence, and relations.
The third Part (hall treat concerning fuch helps and Infti;uments , as are requifite for the framing of thele more Gmple notions into continued Speech or Di(cour(e, which may therefore be ftiled the Organical or In- Jlrumental Part, and doth comprehend the Art of Natural or Philofo - phical Grammar.
In the fourth Part I (hall {hew how thefe more generall Rules may be applyed to particular kinds of Chara&ers, and Languages^ giving an inftance of each. To which (hall beadjoyned by way of Appendix, a Difcouf (e (hewing the advantage of (iich a kind of Philofophical Chara- cter and Language, above any of thole which are now known, more par- ticularly-above that which is of mod: general ufe in thefe parts of the Worlds namely, the Latine.
Laltly, There (hall be added a Di&idnary of the Englifh* tongue, in Which (hall befhown how ail the words of this Language, according to

the various equivocal fenfes of them, may be fufliciently exprefled by the Philofophical Tables here propofed.
I begin with the firft of thefe.
$. II. The defignof this Treatife being an attempt towards a nets kind of CharaSer and Language , it cannot therefore be improper to pretnife fottie- what concerning thofe already in being \ the firft Original of them, their feveral kinds , the various changes and corruptions to which they are ly- able , together with the manifold defeSs belonging to. them. This 1 (hall endeavour to do in the former part of this Dilcourfe.
There is fearce any fubjeft that hath been more throughly (canned and debated amongft Learned men , than the Original of Languages and Letters. ’Tis evident enough that no one Language is natural to mankind, becaufe the knowledge which is natural would generally re- main amongft men, notwithftanding the fuperindu&ion of any other particular Tongue, wherein they might be by Art. Nor is it much to be wondred at, that the ancient Heathen, who knew nothing of Scri- pture-revelation , (hould be inclined to believe, that either Men and Languages were eternal 5 or, that if there were any particular time when men did (prine out of the Earth , and after inhabit alone and difperfedly in Woods and Caves , they had at firft no Articulate voice, but only (uch rude (bunds as Beads have 5 till afterwards particular Families increafing, or feveral Families joyning toge^er for mutual fafety and defence, under Government and Societies, they began by degrees and long pra&iceto confent in certain Articulate (bunds , whereby to communicate their thoughts, which in feveral Countries made feveral Languages, according to that in the Poet,
Cutos prorepjerunt primis anintalia terris ,
Mutum&turpe pectts } glaudem atque cubilia propter Vnguibtts & pHgttif, deinfujlibus, atque it a porr'o Pugnabant at mis, qp£ poft fabric aver at ujus i Donee verba quibus voces fenfujque notarent Nowtindque invenire j dehinc abjijiere bello,
Oppidq ceperunt munire , & ponere leges y Ne quit fur e£et t neulatro, neu quis adulter, 8iC.
But to us, who have the revelation of Scripture, thefe kind of ferti- ples and conje&ures are fufliciently dated. And ’tis evident enough that the firft Language was con- created with our firft Parents, they immedi- ately understanding the voice of God fpeaking to them in the Garden. And how Languages came to be multiplied , is llkewife manifefted in the Gcn.n. 1,6. Sfory of the Confufiou of Babel. How many Languages, and which they were that fprang up at that Condition, is altogether uncertain 5 whe- ther many of them that were then in being, be not now wholly loft 5 and many others, which had not the fame original, have not fince arifen in the world, is not (I think) to be doubted.
The moft received Conje&ure is, that the Languages of theConfufi- on were according to the feveral Families from Noah , which were 70 or 73. though there be very ftrong probabilities to prove that they were not (o many, and that the firft Difpcrfion did not divide mankind into (o

pany Colonies. But now the feveral Languages that are ufed in the
World dofarre exceed this number, Pliny and Strabo do both make Nat.Hift. lib.
mention of a great Mart-Town in Colchos named Diofivria,to which men si™^,b : b.i i.
of three hundred Nations, and of fo many feveral Languages, were wont
to refort for Trading. Which, confidermg the narrow campafi of Traf-
fick before the invention of the magnetic Needle, n\uft needs be but a
fmall proportion , in coinparifon to thofc many of the remoter and yftr
known parts of the world.
Some of the America* Hiftories relate, that in every fourlcore mjles Ut.camUnts of that vaft Country, and almoft in every particular Valley of Fern, the Rcmains ‘ Inhabitants have a diftin& Language. And one who for feveral years pttrchM pil travelled the Northern parts of America about Florida, and could /peaK fix feveral Languages of thofe people, doth affirm, that he found, upon chap. j. his enquiry and converfe with them, more than a thoufand differeqt Lan- guages amongft them:
As for thofe Languages 'which feem to hate no derivation from, of de-
pendance upon, or affinity with one another,' they are ftyjed Lingua ma-
trices ^ or Mother-tongues. Of thefc JoJcph Scaliger affirms there are Cle-
veland not more, ufed in Europe ; whereof four are of more general and
large extent,and the other feven of a narrower compais and ufe* Qf the
more general Tongues.
1. The Greek, was anciently of very great extent, hot oqelyio Europe, but in Apa too, and Afric , where feveral Colonies of that Nation wepe planted ; by which difperfion and mixture with other people it did de- generate into feveral Diale&s. Betides thofe four that are coipWQUly noted, the Doric, Ionic , JEolic . , Attic , Herodotus doth mention four feveral Diale&s of the Ionic , The inhabitants of Rhodes, Cyprus, Crete , had each of them fotne peculiarity in their Language. And the pfefenr Coptic or ^Egyptian feeins, both from the words and the character, to be a branch of this family , and was probably fpred amongft that people iq the days of Alexander the Great, upon his conquering of them : Though Ibrne conceive that there were at leaft 30600 families of Greeks planted in that Country long before his time.
2. The Latin , though this be much of it a derivation from the Greek., (of which the now French, Spanijh, sad Italian are feveral pff-fpriqgs and derivations ) had anciently four feveral Dialers, as Petrus CriyitMs fljews out of Varro.
3. The Teutonic or German is now diftinguiflbed into Vpper and leva- tor. TheVpper hath two notable Diale&s. 1. The Daxifb, S candid**, or perhaps the Got hie, to which belongs the Laoguagcufed in Denmark, Norway, S wedeland, and Ijland. 2. The Saxon, to which appertain the feveral Languages of the Englijh, the Scots, the Frijiahs 5 and thofe on the North of Five.
4. The Slavonic is extended, though with feme variation* through many large Territories, Mufiotia, Rjnjjia,PoUnd, Bohemia, Fandalio, Croa- tia, Lithuania, Dalmatia 5 and is faid to be the vulgar Language ufed a- tnongft 60 feveral Nations.

3. The Hungarian,\xkA in the greateft part of that Kingdom.
• 4. The Finnic , ufed in Finland and Lapland.
5. The Cantabrian , uled amongft the Bifcainert , who live near the Ocean on the Tyrene hills, bordering both upon France and Spain. v 6 . The Irijh jn Ireland , and from thence brought over into fome parts of Scotland. Though Mr. Camden would have this to be a derivation from th elVelJh.
7. The old Gaulijh or Britijh, which is yet preferved in Wales ^ Corn- wall \ and Britain in France.
Enquiries , 1 o this number Mr. Brerewood doth add four others, viz.
chap. 4. 1. The Arabic , now ufed in the fteep mountains of Granata$ which
yet is a Dialed from the Hebrew , and not a Mother-tongue.
3. The Cauchian , in Eajl-Frifeland.
3* The Illyrian , in the Ifle of Veggia.
4. The Jazygian , on the North fide of Hungary.
I V. Befides this difference of Languages in their firft derivation , every particular T opgue hath its feveral Diale&s. Though J udsea were a re- gion of a very narrow compafs, yet was it not without its varieties of this Rind : witnefs the (lory concerning shibboleth and Sibboleth 5 and that judges it. of the LevitCy who was difeovered by his manner of fpeech ; and S. Pc- ^s,Sl, 2A%. ,ers feeing known fora GaliUan. Tisfb generally in other Countries,
- and particularly with us in England, where the Northern andWeftern
inhabitants doobfervea different dialed from other parts of the Nati- on, as may appear from that particular inftance mentioned by Verjlegan. Whereas the inhabitants about London would fey, I would eat more cheeje if I had it. A Northern man would (peak it thus. Ay Jud eat mare cheeje gyn ay had et. • And a Weftern man thus , Chud eat more cheeje an chad it.
Everyone of thefe reputed Mother- tongues, except th e Arabic, (and perhaps the Hungarian') was ufed in Europe during the time of the Ro- man Empire. But whether they were all of them fo ancient as the COn- fufion of Babel, doth not appear 5 there wants not good probability to the contrary for feme of them.
ct'trg'Htruii It hath been the opinion of feme , particularly Boxhornius , that the ffillpOriT Sc y t ^ ian Tongue was the common mother from which both the Greedy net Gallic. 61 1 atinfierman and Perjian were derived, as fo many Dialed* 5 - and *tis feid that Salmajius did incline to the feme judgment. And Philip Cluverint cenje&ures, that both Germans , Gauls, Spaniards , Britans , Swedes and Norwegians , did anciently ufe one and the feme Language. One princi- pal argument ufed for this is , the agreement of thole remote Nations in fome radical words. J ojepb Scaliger obferves that the words , Father , Mother, Brother, Bond, etc. are ufed in the Perjian tongue, with feme lit- tle variety, in the fame fenfe and fignificatioo as they are ufed with us.
In Epift. ' And Busbequiur relates, that the inhabitants of Taurica Cberfonejits have divers words in the fame fenfe common with us, as Wine, silver , Com , Salt, Fijhy Apple , &c. But this might be merely cafual, or elfe occafioned by a mixture of Colonies , and will not argue a derivation of one from
another.
Chap. I. And their Off- faring' 5
another. - So there are leveral words common to the Turks , Germans, 9 ri ‘ Greeks , French , lometimes of the fame, and lometimes of feveraJ fignifi- cations 3 which is not diffident to argue that all thele were of the lame Original.
Befidts thele European, there is likewile great variety of Languages in other parts of the world. As for the Hebrew Tongue , which is by many learned men luppoled to be the lame that Abraham learnt when he came into Canaan , to which that expreffion ifai. 19. 1 8. The language of Ca» naan , is thought to allude 3 this is luppoled to be the firft Mother tongue amongft all thole that are now known in the world , from which there are lundry derivations , as the Chaldee, Syriac , Funic, Arabic, Ferjian,
AEtbiopic.
When the Jews were in Captivity at Babylon, mixed with the Chalde- Brtrraooi’s ans for 7© years, in that trad of time they made up a Language diftind Enquiries, from both, which is lometimes called Syriac, and fometimes Chaldee, and cha P*?* lometimes Hebrew. Thole pafiages in the Gofpel, which are laid to be in the Hebrew tongue, as Talitha Kami 3 Elohi , Elobi, Lamms fabacbtbani , John 5. 2- ft arc properly Syriac 3 onely they are called Hebrew , becaule that was the Language which the Hebrews then uled. A great part of this Syriac Btcban.GcoQi tongue is for the JubJlance of the words Chaldee , and Hebrew for the fa- »• ca P- **• fiion , lo degenerating much from both. After the Captivity the pure Hebrew ceaied to be vulgar, remaining onely amongft learned men , as appears by that place in Nehem. 8. 7, 8. where we find the Priefts, upon reading of the Law.to the people after their coming out of Balylon, were fain to expound it diftindly to them, and to make them underftand the meaning out 3 the common people, by long difuie, being grown ftrangers to the Language wherein ’twas written. So in our Sa- viour's time, the unlearned jews, whole vulgar Tongue the Syriac was, could not underftand thofe parts of Mofes and the Prophets read to them in Hebrew every Sabbath-day. Which was the realbn of thole public fpecches and .declarations of any learned men , whooccalionaily catrie into the Synagogues, after the reading of the Law: though neither luke 4. 1 j, Priefts, nor Levites, nor Scribes, yet was it ordinary for them to expound **: ,
unto the people the meaning of thole portions of Scripture that were * 3 ‘ 1 * appointed to be read out of th e Hebrew, which the people did not un- derftand 3 and to render their meaning in Syriac , which was their vul- gar Tongue*
As for lo much of the pure tiebrew as is now in being, which is onely that in the old Te (lament , though it be fufficient to exprels what is there intended, yet it is lo exceedingly defective in many other words requi- fite to humane dilcourle , that the Rabbins are fain to borrow \yords from many other Languages, Greek., Latin, Spanijh s &c. a? may appear at large in Buxtorf’s Lexicon Rabbinicum , and a particular DifcOurfe written to this very purpole by David Cohen de Lara*. And, from the leveral defeats and imperfe&ions which feem to be in this Language , it may be guefted not to be the fame which was con-created with our firft Parents, and fpoken by Adam in Paradije.
What other varieties of Tongues there have been, or are, in Afa } Afric, or America, 1 (hall not now enquire,

Befides,the Laws of forein Conquefts ufually extend to Letters and Speech as well as Territories 5 the Viftor com- monly endeavouring to propagate his own Language as farre as his Dominions 5 which is the reafon why the Greeks and Latin are fo uni- verfally known. And when a Nation « overfpread with feveral Colo- nies of foreiners, though this do not a lwaies prevail to abplifh the former Language, yet if they make any long abode, this muft needs make fuch a considerable change and mixture of fpeech as will very much alter it from its original Purity.
Th ok learned Languages which have now ceafed to be vulgar , and remain onely in Books , by which the purity of them is regulated, may, whHft thole Books are extant and ftudied , continue the fame without change. But all Languages that are vulgar, asthofe learned ones for- merly were, are upon the fore-mentioned occafions, fubjc&tofbmany alterations, that in traft of time they will appear to be quite another thing then what they were at firft.

What the Saxons Language was at their firft arrival into England about the year 440, doth not appear 5 but ’tis moft probable that the changes and differences jof it, have been fomewhat proportionable in feveral Ages.
About the year of Chrift 700 the Lord’s Prayer in Englijh was thus rendred: *
Uren fader thic arth in heofnas , fie gehalgud thin noma : to cymeth c »mUm's thin ric: fic thin willalue is in heofnas and in eortho. Urenhlafofer Rcmains »
- wirtlic fel us to daeg ; and forgef us fey Id a urna, lue we forgefen fey Id- pas ' a3 ‘

Amen.
About 200 years after, it Was changed thus :
Thu ure fader the eart on heofenum. Si thin nama gehalgod. Cum Lj -, s gaxoa thin ric. Si thip willa on eorthen fiva, fwa on heofenum. Syle us to daeg Monuments! 1 urn dxgthanlican hlaf. And forgif us ure gyltas fwa, fwa we forgifath tham the with us agyltath. And ne led the us on coftnung. Ac aly9 us from yfie. Si it fwa. *
About the fame time it was rendred in the Saxon Gofpels , laid to be Tranflated by King Alfred , after this manner.
Faeder ute thu the earth on heofenum, fi thin nama Gehalgod to be cume thin Rice, Gewurthe thin willa on eorthan fwa fwa on heofnum, urne ge daeghwanlican hlaf fyle us to daeg. And forgyf us ure gyltas, iwa fwa we forgivath urum gyltendum. And ne gelaedde thu us on coft- nung. AcAlyfeusof yfle.
About 260 years after, in the time of King Henry the a d , it was ren- dred thus, and lent over by Pope Adrian, an Englijh' man, turned into' teeter, that the people might more eafily learn and remember it. fate ftisp? in btaben tfeb,

About two hundred years after this in the time of Henry the VI. ( as appears by a large manufcript Velume Bible in the Oxford- Library, laid to have been this Rings , and by him to have been given to the Carthuji- ans in London 5 ) It was rendred thus.
Oure fadir that art in hevencs, halewid be thi name, thi kingdom come to thee, be thi wil don in eerthe, as in hevcne, give to us this day oure breed over othre fubftanc, and forgive to us oure dettis , as we forgiven oure dettouris, and lede us not into temptation, butdelivere us from ivel. Amen.
In another M.S. of Wickliffes Tranflation, who lived in Richard , the a d$ time, it is rendred with very fmall difference from this.
About a hundred years after this , In a Bible let forth with the Kings licens,tranllated by Thomas Mathew, and printed in the year 1 5 47, it was rendered thus :
O oure father which arte in hevfn halowed be thy name. Let thy kingdomecome. Thy will be fulfilled, as well in erth, as it is in heven, Ceve us this daye oure day ly bred. And fbrgeve us our treafpafes, even as we forgeve oure trefpacers. And lead us not into temptacion, but de- ly ver us from evyll. Amen.
After the fame manner it is rendered in the Tranflation of William Tyndall , with fome little differences in the fpelling.
This one inflance may fufficiently manifeft by what degrees this Lan- guage did receive its feveral Changes, and how much altered it is now from what it hath been , and confequently what is to be expe&ed in fu- ture times. Since Learning began to flourifh in our Nation, there have been more then ordinary Changes introduced in our Language : partly by new artificial Compofttions * partly by enfranchijing ftrange fbrein words, for their elegance and fignificancy, which now make one third part of our Language 5 and' partly by refining and mollifying old Words, for the more eafie and graceful found : by which means this laft Centu- ry may be conje&ured to have made a greater change in our Tongue, then any of the former, as to the addition of new words.
And thus , in all probability , muff it have been with all other vulgar Languages. So that ’tis not likely that any of thefe Mother-tongues now in being, are the fame that they were at the firft Confufion. So true is that of the Poet:
Hor*t. de arte T)t Jylvte foliis pronos mutantur in annos ,
P°* tic *‘ Prima cadunt 5 ita verborum vetus interit <etas 3
' Et, juvenum ritu 3 florent modo nata vigintque.

And a little after,

d. III. 2 * As to the fecond C^uere, Whether any of the Ancient Languages be now quite lojl 5 it may be ^nfwered, That if in fome few hundreds of years a Language may be fo changed as to be fcarce intelligible } then, in a much longer trad; of time it may be quite abolijhed, none of the mod; radical and fubflantial parts remaining.* For every change is a gradual corruption.

Of new Languages #
Before the flour ifhing of the toman Empire , there were feveral native YlVtt
Languages nfed in Italy > France, Spain* In Italy we read of the Meffapi- Annot.in am- am, the Hetrufcan, the Sabine, the Ojcan, the Hetrurian or Tufcan Langua- ges 5 which are now thought by Learned men to be utterly loft, and no- i;.’ where to be found in the World.
Tis probable that there was not onely one Language in lb vaft a Ter- Bmewood’s ritoryas France, but that feveral Provinces fpake feveral Languages.* ’
But what thofe Languages were, or whether yet extant, is uncertain As P * for the Ct/fcf, who, inhabiting the inner paxt of the Country, were lefe fub- jeft to forein mixtures, ’tis moft probable that their Language might fee the Britijh or VFelJb, which is yet fpoken in feme parts of France. Cajar Vc Bello Gai- re ports that the Cauls were wont often to pals over into Britain , to be 1,co ' ^ inftrti&ed by the Druids, amoogft whom there was then no ufe of Books or Writing , and therefore they muft communicate by Qifcourle, And Tacitus affirms that the Speech of the Britijh and Gauls, differed but. little.
It is conceived that one of the ahcicot Tongues of Spain was the Cantabrian , which doth now there remain in the more barren mountain- ous, inacceffible parts, where Conquerors are willing to purfee, or defirous to plant 5 as our Britijh doth in ffWe/.But tis probable that there might be feveral cither Languages befides this 10 fo great* Continent, as well as in Italy, which are now wholly loft and unknown-
3. As to the third Quere , concerning the firfl Rife and occafion of £ j V;
new Languages , that maybe fufficiently ahlwered by what was before
fuggefted , concerning thofe many particular emergencies which may
contribute to the introducing a change in Languages.
Somethink that the Italians , Spaniards and French, after they were to- tally fubdued by the Romans , and planted with their Colonies, did, after, a certain fpace of time , receive the Latin Tongue as their moft vulgar Speech, and retained it 5 till afterwards, being feveral times overrun by the Northern barbarous Nations, the Goths and Vandals, and other Tribes of the Germans , who mixed with them, and after feveral Conquefts refi- ded amongft them, fometimes 20, 60, 200 years together 5 this afford- ed time enough for fiich a thorough coalition betwixt them and the Na- tives , as could not but introduce a great change in the common Lan- guage , whilft the Nations were forced to attemper their Speech for the mutual underftanding of one another.
Others conceive that thofe Countries did not at firft pcrfe&ly receive the Latin from the Romans Jbut did onely make ufe of the jnoft principal radical words $ negle&ing the Grammatical rules of compejition and in*
Jte&ion , and withal! varying, the way of pronunciation, according to the unufualnels and difficulty of feveral founds to feveral Countries ; And that this was the firft and chief occafion of thofe various Medleys or fe- veral Dialc&s now in ufe 5 which were afterwards fomewhat farther changed from their Original , by thofe feveral Inundations of the Bar * barians.
’Tis not much material to difpute, which of thefe caufes had the prut* cipal influence in the extra&ion of thefe modern Tongues, fo fong as "tis granted that both of them might contribute and fiiffica for tins effirft.
As for our prefent EngliJI), this feems to be a mixture of the Britijh, Re-

cambists man, Saxon, Danijh , Norman, according to the.fcveral viciffitudcs of Remains. Plantations and Conquefts, that this Nation hath undergone. And ac- cording as fuch Conqucfts have been more or lefs compleat and abfo- lute , k> have the Languages been more or lefs generally altered : which is the reafon why the Saxon Tongue was by our progenitors more fully introduced in England, then either that of the Franks amongft the Cauls, or that of the Goths or Lumbards in Italy, or that of the Goths fandals or Moors in Spain,
Z *^ i **ha That which feems to be the ne weft Language in the World, is the Ma- ▼oiage, p. i d j an ^ which ^ now as general ana common atnongft the Natives of the Eafl- Indies , as Latin or French is in thefe parts of the World. 'Tis (aid to be but of late invention, occafioned by the concourfe of Filhermen from Pqgu, Siam , Bengali, and feveral other Nations, who meeting toge- ther at a place convenient for Filhiag, and finding that it was by fituati- on exceeding commodious for Traffick from feverid parts , did agree to fettle there a Plantation 5 and accordingly built the Town of Malacca, which hath fince, for many years, been governed by the Portuguez, and is now under the power of the Hollander . And, for the more fadl con- verge with one another, they agreed upon a diftind Language, which pro- bably was made up by (eleding the moft foft and eafy words belonging to each (everal Nation. Ana this is the oncly Language ( for ought I know) that hath ever been at once invented 5 if it may properly be ftyled a diftind Language, and not rather a Medley of many. But this being invented by rude Fithermen , it cannot be expeded that it (hould have all thole advantages, with which it might have been furniflied by the rules of Philolbphy.
Add^n- . I know that the Learned Golins doth affirm $e China Language to be 1 invented by Art but, upon the bed difcovery to be made of it at this diftance, from thofe who nave lived many years in that Country, and pre- tend to underftand the Language, it appears to be (b exceedingly equivo • cal, and in many refpeds (b very imperfeS , that there is little reafon to be- lieve it had any foch Original.

Though the Scripture doth not mention any thing concerning the in-
vention of thefe ; yet ’tis moft generally agreed, that Adam , { though
not immediately after his Creation, yet; in procefe of time, upon his ex-
perience of their great neceffity and uiefulnels, did firft invent the anci-
ent Hebrew Character : whether that which we now call the Hebrew, at
elfe the Samaritan , is a queftion much debated by ieveral Learned men,
which 1 ftiall not now inquire into, or offer to d et ermine.
As for thofe particular Alphabets which are by fome efcrihed to Adam , caelum Ori- Enoch and N04&, mentioned by feveral Authors, and in a late Difcourfe by entis. •
Thomas Pangius , they have fo little foundation in any probable reafon or ftory, that I ftiall not ib much as make any farther mention of them.
- It hath been abundantly cleared up by many Learned men , that the y. y j.
ancient Hebrew Character hath the priority before day other now known 5 which is confirmed by the concurrent teftimony of the beftand moft an- cient Heathen Writers. And 'tis amongft rational arguments none of rhe <3 r»», j e leaft, for the Troth and Oivine Authority of Scripture, toeonfider the ▼eritatcRc. general concurrence of ail manner of .evidence for the Antiquity of the ilg * b ‘ *• Hebrew, and the derivation * of all other Letters from it.

With thefe agree • Herodotus, Strabo, b Plutarch , c Curtins , Mdajky c. a TerpGcho- who all confent, that the Grecians did firft receive their Letters from the re.

And that the Phoenicians were Canaanites hath proof alfo in Scripture, becaufe the fame woman who in Mark, 7. 26. is ftyled a Geograph;

That the ancient Greeks Chara&cr was of very near affinity to the Samaritan , and that the Latin Letters were of iuch an affinity to the Greeks, and derived from them, being in a manner thefeinewkh the an- dent Ionic Letters , is made very plain by Scaliger , and owned by Pliny m Eafaufa, and Diouyfius Ha/icarnaffenjis.

from others, did purpofely difturb the order of the Alphabet 5 to which
he might have added the JEthiopic and Armenian.
There are two general things to be obferved concerning thefe deri- ved Letters. 1. That they are not of lb great Antiquity. 2. That they are not lb numerous as Languages are.
1. They are not lo ancient , many Nations remaining a long while be- fore they grew fo far civilized as to underftand the ufe of Letters, which to this day are not known amongft many of the American Nations, nor the Inhabitants of Lapland: and after they have been known, and of fome public ule, it hath been yet a confiderable fpace, before perlons have written any Difcourle in their own Language. ’Tis obferved by Tfibudas of the German, and by Genebrard of the French Tongue, ('faith Mr. Brerewood ) that ’tis not much above 400 years, lince Books began to be written in thole Languages.
2. And becaufe the ule of Letters m particular Countries is not lb an- cient as Language, therefore are they not of fo numerous kinds 5 fcveral Nations taking up the ule of Letters from their neighbours, and adapting them to their own Tongue. Thus the Spanijh , French , Italian , German , Britijh , Englijh , Irijb , &c. do all of them life the lame Latine Chara&er, it being probable that they had none of their own, before they learnt this of the Romans. The Coptic or Egyptian Chara&er , ever lince Egypt came under the Dominion of Macedon, hath been the Greeks , excepting only feven Letters proper to their Tongue,which the Greek. Alphabet did not Efficiently exprefi 5 The Mufiovites likewife and th e Ruffians, the Georgians and Jacobins , do ule the Greek. Character 5 the Ferfians and Turks ufe the Arabick. • though the Letters of any Tongue do not al- waies remain the lame, but are fubjed to' the like fate and mutability, to which Languages are expofed.
Belides this common way of Writing J>y the ordinary Letters, the An- cients have fbmetimes uled to communicate by other Notes , which were either for Secrecy, or Brevity.
1. For Secrecy : fuch were the Egyptian Hieroglyphic^, ( as they are commonly efteemed ) being the reprefentation of certain living Crea- tures, and other Bodies , whereby they were wont to conceal from the vulgar the Myftcries of their Religion. But there is realbn to doubt whether there be any thing in thefe worth the enquiry, the difeoveries that have been hitherto made out of them being but very few and in- fignificant. They feem to be but a flight, imperfect invention, futable to thofe firft and ruder Ages ; much of the lame nature with that Mexi- can way of writing by Pi&ure , which was a mere fhift they were put to for want of the knowledge of Letters. And itfeemsto me quefHonable, whether the Egyptians did not at firft ule their Hieroglyphic kf upon the lame account, namely, for the want of Letters.
Thofe waies of writing treated of by the Abbot Tyrithemins , were likewife for occult or Jecret communication : And though lome Learn- ed men have fufpe&ed and accufed him to have thereby delivered the Art of Magic , or Conjuring j yet he is fufiiciently cleared and vindicated from any fuch prejudice in that very learned and ingenious Difcourle de Crypt ograpbia , under the feigned name of Gufiavtst Sclents* 9

by which the noble Author, the Duke of Lunenburg,did dilguife his true name of Augufius Lunuburgicus.
2. For Brevity : There were fingle Letters or marks, whereby the Ro- mans were wont to exprefe whole words, Ennius is faid to have inven- ted i ieo of thefe; to which number Tullius Tyro , Cicero s Libert us, (o- r T kbemius de thers fey Cicero himfelf, ) added diver9 others, to fignifie the particles of Polygraphia, fpeech ; after whom Thilargyrus the Samian and Mecunas , added yet more. After thefe Annum Seneca is (aid to have laboured in the regu- lating and digelting of thofe former notes -; to which adding many of his own, he augmented the whole number to 5000 , publiihed by jf anus Cruterus ; though amongft his there are divers of a later invention , re- lating to Chriftian inftitutions, which have been added lince ( as ’tis faid) by S. Cyprian the Martyr. The way of writing by thefe did require a vaft memory and labour ; yet it was far fliort of expreffing all things and Notions , and betides , had no provifion for Grammatical varia- tions.
Of this nature is that short- hand- writing by Characters (o fre- quent with us in England , and much wondered at by Foreiners; which hath a great advantage for fpeed and fwiftnels in writing ; thbfe who are expert in it being able this way to take any ordinary difcourfe verbatim.
Belides thefe, there have been fome other propofals and attempts a- a y bout a Real universal Char after, that fhould not fignifie words, but things Y and notions , and confequeutly might be legible by any Nation in their own Tongue ; which is the principal defign of this Treatife. That fuch a Real Character is poffible , and hath been reckoned by Learned men amongft the Dejiderata , were eafie to make out by abundance of Tefti- monies. To this purpofe is that which Pife mentions to be (omewhere Hiftor Nat the wifh of Galen, That fome way might be found out to reprefen t indue, iib.4." things by fuch peculiar figns and names as fhould expreis their natures’, c * 3 - ut Sophiftk eriperetur decertandi & calumniandi occajio. There are fe- veral other paflages to this purpofe in the Learned Verulam, in Vojjius , in ®*^ u s™ ent - Hermannus Hugo, &c. befides what is commonly reported of the men of Or'ig.VcrTen- China, who do now, and have for many Ages ufed fuch a general Chara- d >» cap. 4, der,by which the Inhabitants of that large Kingdom , many of them of different Tongues , do communicate with one another , every one underftanding this common Character , and reading it in his own Lan- guage.
It cannot be denied , but that the variety of Letters is an appendix to the Curie of namely, the multitude and variety of Languages. And
therefore, for any man to go about to add to their number, will be, but like the inventing of a Difeafe, for which he can expert but little thanks from the world. But this Confideration ought to be no^ifcourage- ment : For fuppofing (uch a thing as is here propofed, could be well eftablifhed , it would be the fur eft remedy that could be againft the Curie of the Confufion , by rendring all other Languages and Char afters ufeleis.
It doth not appear that any Alphabet now in being, wa $ invented at ^ y 1. once or by the rules of Art ; but rather that all, except the Hebrew , were
taken

taken up by Imitation, and paft by degrees through feveral Changes $
which is the reafon that they are leu complete , and liable to feveral ex*
ceptions. The Hebrew Character, as to the (hape of it, thoughit appear
(olemn and grave , yet hath it not its Letters lufficiently diftinguilhed
from one another , and withall it appears iomewhat haiih and fugged.
The Arabic Character, though it (hew beautiful, yet is it too elaborate,
and takes up too much room , and cannot well be written (mail. The
Cree^ and the Latin are both of them graceful and indifferent eafie,
though not without their feveral imperfections.
As for the AEthiopic , it hath no lels then 203 Letters in its Alphabet 5 namely, 7 Vowels, which they apply to every one of their 26Con(o- nants, to which they add toother alpirated Syllables. All their Cha* rafters are exceedingly complicated and perplexed, and much more dif- ficult then thofe propofed in this following Difeourfe for the expreffiog of things and notions.

But it is not my purpofe to animadvert upon thefe Tongues that are lels known,(o much as thofe with which thefe parts of the world are bet- ter acquainted.

2. As to the Conjbnants , thefe likewile are of very uncertain Powers : witnefi the different pronunciation of the letter (C) in the word Circo, and ( G ) in the word Negligence. I know ’tis laid that the letter (C J before the Vowels a, o, n, mull be pronounced like (X,) as in the words cado, coram , cudo 3 and before the Vowels e, i, as S, as in the words cedo, cilium. But there is no reafon why it lhould be fo. Upon winch accpunt DeLingu* our learned Country man. Sir Tho. Smith, doth juftly cenfure it as mosf fi rMm lit era, non liter a 3 ignorant ie fpeci men, non artis 3 modh ferpens, one. mod'o cornix.

ly ufed for (Z) which muft needs be very improper. And, which is yet more irrational , fbme Letters of the fame name and (bape are uled fometimes for Vowels, ixxd fotnetimes for Confonants 3 as jf, V,fV,T^ which PrifcitH. yet differ from one another Jicut corpus & anima , and ought by no means
to be confounded.
To which may be added, that from this equivocal power of Letters, it fo falls out, that
1. Some words are dijlinguijbed in writing , and not in pronunciation : as Sejfio, Cejjio'-, Sera, Cera 3 Servus,Cervus 3 Syrus, Cyrus 3 Boar, Bore 3 Come , Lat. Cum 3 Done , Dun 3 Dear , Deer 3 Hear, Here ; Heart, Hart 5 Meat, Mete 3 Son, Sum Some, Lat. Sum 3 Toes, To ^ f 3 Toe, Towe 3 To, Too, Two.
2. Some words are difiinguijhed in pronunciation , but not in writing 3 as the words Give , i. Dare, Give , i. Vinculum 3 Get. i. Acquirere, Get , i. Ga* gates 3 a r and his in Englijh , and h and his in Latin. So the Latin word Male , i. evilly , is a difiyllable 3 whereas the Englijh word Male, which fignifies the mafeuline Sex , is but a monofyllable. All which are very great incongruities, and luch as ought to be avoided in any regular efta- blilhment of Letters.
IV. 4* Their Names in moft Alphabets, are very improperly exprejfed by words of feveral (yllables 5 as Aleph , Beth, Gimel, &c. Alpha , Beta, Gamma, See. And thus it is in 15 feveral Alphabets mentioned by Her -

To this may be added , the manner of writing as to the Oriental Tongues, from the right hand to the left, which is as unnatural and incon- venient, as to write with the light on the wrong fide. The Jews them- snKnrie (elves write their particular ftrokes of Letters from the left to the right Cau&i.

Befides thefe Defefts in the ufual Alphabets or Letters , there are feve- A y j.
ral others likewifeinthe Words of Language , and their Accidents and X
Conftru&ions.
1. In regard of Equivocals , which are of feveral fignifications , and therefore muft needs render fpeech doubtful and obfcure j and that ar- gues a deficiency , or want of a fufficient number of words. Thefe are ei- ther abfolutely lo,or in their figurative conftruttion, or by rea(bn of Phra- feologies.
Of thefirft kind there are great variety in Latin. So the word r Li ter at os rCodicem. j)PMco,( r ifctt ) Libtrtate fruentem.
1 ) Oratores ( J . ) Fihurn.
' Rujiicos J C Arbor is corticem. .
So the word Aialus fignifies both an Apple-tree, and Evil , and the Jliafi of ajhip =, and Populus fignifies both a Poplar-tree y and the People , &c.
Befides fuch Equivocals as are made by the inflexion of words : as Lex , kgis,legi' y Lego, legk, legi : Sus, fuis 3 Suo 9 fuis- y Sums, fins : A mare the Adverb 5 Amo , amas , amavi, amare 5 and Amor , amark vel amare : with abundance of the like of each kind.
Nor is it better with the Englijh Tongue in this refpeft, in which there is great variety of Equivocals. So the word Bill fignifies both a Weapon , a Bird’s Beaf, and a written Scroul : The word Grave fignifies both So- ber, and Sepulcher, and to Carve, &c.
As for the ambiguity of words by realbn of Metaphor and Phrafeology , this is in all inftituted Languages lb obvious and (b various, that it is need- lefs to give any inftances of it j every Language having (bme peculiar phrafes belonging to it, which, if they were to be tranflated verbatim in- to anothe# Tongue, would feem wild and infignificant.

'Tis needlels to give inftances of this,there being in divers Languages as ma- ny words whole founds do difagree with their way of writing , as thofe are that agree.

As men do generally agree in the lame Principle of Realon, lo do they likewife agree in the lame Internal Nation or* Apprehenjion of things.
The External Exprejjion of thefe Mental notions , whereby men com- municate their thoughts to one another, is either to the Ear , or to the Eye. . t
To the Ear by sounds , and nfore particularly by Articulate Voice and Words. - - >
To the Eye by any thing that is vtfible) Motion, Light, Colour, Figure 5 and more particularly by Writing.
That conceit which men have in their minds concerning a Norle or Tree, is the Notion or mental linage of thatBeaft, or natural thing, of fuch a nature, fhape and ufe- The Names given to thele in feveral Lan- guagespre luch arbitrary founds or words, -as Nations of men have agreed upon, either cafually or defignedly, to exprefs their Mental notions of them. The Written wordis the figure or pifture of that Sound.
So that if men (hould generally content upon the fame way or man- ner of Exfrejfipn, as they do agree in the lame Notion, we Ihould then be freed from that Curie in the Confufion of Tongues , with all a the unhap- py conlequences of it.
Now this can onely be done, either by enjoyning lome one Language and Chara&cr to be univerfally learnt and pra&ifed, (which is not to pc expe&ed, till lome perlbn attain to the Vniverjil Monarchy • and per- haps would not be done then : ) or elle by propoJtngCoine fuch way as, by its facility and ulefulnefi, ( without the imposition of Authority ) plight invite and ingage men to the learning of it ; which is the thing here attempted.
In order to this. The firft thing to be conlidered and enquired into is. Concerning a juft Enumeration and defeription of luch things or notions as are to have Harks or Names alfigned to them.
The chief Difficulty and Labour will be lo to contrive the Enumera- tion of things and notions, as that they may be full and adequate, without any Redundance or Deficiency as to the Number of them, and regular as to their Place and Order.

If to every thing and notion there were aligned a diftind Mark., to-, gether' with fome provifien to exprefs Grammatical Derivations and In- flexions j this might fumce as to one great end of a Real charaQer, name- ly , the expreffion of our Conceptions by Mark* which Ihould fignifie things , and not wards. And lb likewife if leveral diftiud words were affigned for the names of fuch things , with certain invariable Rules for \dl luch Grammatical Derivations and Inflexions, and iiich oacly, as are natural and neceflary 5 this would make a much more eafie and conveni- ent Language then is yet in being.
But now if thefe Marks or Notes could be lb contrived, as to have fuch a dependahee upon, and relation to, one Another, as might be futableto the nature of the things and notions which they reprelented j and lo likewife, if the flames of things could be lb ordered, as to contain fuch a kind of affinity or opposition in their letters and founds, as might be fome way anlwerable to the nature of the things which they lignilied j This would yet be a farther advantage foperadded: by which, betides the belt way of helping the Memory ay natural Method , the Vnderflanding likewife would be highly improved 5 and We Ihould > by learning, the CbaraBer and the Karnes of things, be inftru&ed likewife in their Na- tures, the knowledg of both which ought to be con joyned.
For the accurate effe&ing of this, it would be neceflary, that the Theo- ry it felf,upon which luch a delign were to be founded, mould be exact- ly fisted to. the nature of thing i. But, upon fuppofal that this Theory is aefe&ivc, either as to the Fulnefl or the Order of it, this muft needs add much perplexityto any luch Attempt, and render it impetfetf.

Concerning Metafhyfic.
Part; ID
In this precedent Scheme, all the feveral things or notions, to which
names are to be afiigned , are reduced to forty Genus' s. The firft fix of
which do comprehend fuch matters, as by reafon of their Generalnels, or
in fome other refpeft, are above all thole common heads of things called
Predicaments; The reft belonging to the feveral Predicaments , of
which I reckon only five. Amongft thefe , Subfiance doth take in
fourteen Genus\ Quantity three, Quality five, Avion, four ,. and Rela*
tion eight.
This being foppofed to be a fufficient general Scheme of things, that which is next to be enquired after , is how each of thole Genus's may. be fubdivided into its proper differences and Ipecies. In order to which I fball offer that which follows.
In the enumeration of all fuch things and notions as fall under di- fcourle , thofe are firft to be conlidered which arc more general ot com- prehenlive, belonging either to Metaphyjic , or to Grammar and Logic.
Tho particulars are firft in the order of Being , yet Generals are firft in the order of Knowing , becaufe by thefe, fuch things and notions as are lels . general, are to be diftinguilhed and defined.
Now the proper end and defign of Metaphyjic fhould be, to enume- rate and explain thole more .general terms , which by 'realbn of their , ’ Univerfality and Comprehenfivenefs, are either above all thqle Heads of things ftiled Predicaments, or elfe common to feveral of them. And if this Science had been lo ordered , as to have conteined a ’plaip regular enumeration and defeription of thefe general terms, without thje mixture of nice and liibtle dilputes about them , It might have been •, proper e- nough for learners to have begun with. But men having purpofely ft rained their Wits.to frame arid difculs lb many intricate queftions , as are commonly treated of in it : ’Tis no wonder that it fhould hereby be rendred, not onely lels fit for young beginners, but liable alfo to the pre- judice and negleaof thole of riper judgments. That which I aim at in treating concerning thele things', is to offer fome brief and plain de- feription of them , as being confcious that fuch matters as are prim'o nota , ana moft obvious, are moft hard to be defined. And the multiplying of words, about things that are plain enough of themfelves,doth but con- tribute to the making of them more obfeure.
The Tight ordering of thefe Tranlcendentals is a bufiuels of no finall difficulty ;becaufe there is fo little aftiftance or help to be had for it in the Common Syftems, according to which this part of Philofophv ( as it feemstome ) is rendred the moft rude and imperfed in the whole bo- dy of Sciences;as if the compilers of it had taken no other care for thofe General notions , which did not fall within the ordinary leries of things, and were not explicable in other particular Sciences , but only to tum- ble them together in feveral confuted heaps , which they ftiled the Sci- ence of Metaphyjic. And this is one reafon why the ufual enumeration of luch Terms is very fhort and deficient in relpedof what it ought to be, many of thofe things being leftout, which do properly belong to this number; wHtch defeas are here intended to be in fome meafure fuppli- ed. Tho it muft be granted , that by realbn of the exceeding compre- , benfvenefs of fome notions, and the extreme Jubtilty of others, as like- wite becaufeof the ftreightnefs of that method which I am bound up to
b y
by thefe Tables it will fofall out, that feveral things cannot be diipofed of (b accurately as they ought to be. .
The leveral things belonging to Metaphyfical or Tranfcendental no- tions may be comprehended under thefe three Heads, namely fuch as are either more

T He more perfcS kind of Vegetables are called by the name of Plants , I,
the feveral kinds of which are lb exceeding numerous, as muft needs render it a very difficult talk for any man who is moft verfed in the ftudy of them,either to enumerate them fb fully or to order them lo acu- rately, as will not be liable to many exceptions 3 efpecially confidering the ftreining and force that muft fometimes beufed, to make things com- ply with the inftitutioh pf thefe tables into Which they are to be re- • duced.
Gafpar Bauhinm doth in his Pinax reckon up about fix thoufand feve- ral plants , the particular names of which do amount to alrnoft twice the # number of words here intended for the whole body of language. And there is realbn enough to believe, that there are many more befidesthofe he mentions, fince we find by daily experience, in lowing the feeds of Flowers and of. Trees , and the different vvayes of culture ufed about them, that new kind? of Flowers and of Fruits are continually produ- ced, fuchas were not before delcribed by any Author, and fiich as do afterwards propagate their kinds ; infbmuch that it may well be doubted whether there be any determinate number of thefe fubordinate Species.
I defign in thefe following tables to take notice only of the chief fa- milies of Plants, to which the others are to be reduced, In the dcfcripti- ons of which, there will be no finall difficulty, by realbn of their great number, and the want of proper words to exprefsthe more minute dif- ferences betwixt them, in refpeft of fhape, colour, tail, fraell, &c. to which inftituted languages have not afligned particular names. I men- tion this by way of Apology for the feveral defetts, which lam fenfible of in the following tables.
In the defeription of thole Plants which are heads of njtmerosis fami- lies ,1 take notice only of that Communis ratio , which belongs to all the f ubordinate varieties of them, unleis it be when thefe is no fiich common agreement belonging to them all : or where feveral things are reduced under the fame head, Ibmefor their agreement in one Accident, ando- thers for their agreement in feme other Accident 5 in which cafes thede- fcriptions here mentioned , are to be under flood of the chief and moft common Plants of that name.
As for the various particulars contained tinder each family , as fuppofe Tulips, Rofes, Apples, Pears^PfurnsjC^c.

To all which may be added their different fmells and tails, and the feveral iifesthey are commonly applyed unto} by feme of which Acci- dents all other Plants may be (ufticiently deicribed.
I had formerly diftributed the kinds of Herbs, according to thole fe^ veral ends and purpofes for which they are commonly ufed, into thefe three heads , i. Such as are for pleajure , being ulually cherilhed in Gardens, for their flowers, or beauty, or Iweet lent. 2. Such as are Alimentary , being ufed by men for food, either in refpeft of their Roots, their Leaves or Stalks, their Fruit or their Seed. 3. Such as are Medici- nal, being either Hot and biting, or Cold and Stupefying, Purgative, Al- terative, Vulnerary. But upon further confideration I am iatisfied, that though thefe heads may feem more facil and vulgar 5 yet are they not fo truly PhiloIbphical,but depend too much upon the Opinions and cuftoms of feveral times and Countries.
As for the ufual diftin&ion betwixt Shrubbs and Trees, \ t doth not feent (at lead lb farras thele things have been hitherto deicribed) to have any iuch diftind limits in nature, as were to be deiired, and as is to be found betwixt other things , there being feveral under each head, which feem to be of a doubtful condition. Setae that are reckoned for Shrubbs, which have a fair pretence to be placed a mongft Trees : and others ac- counted Trees, which without any injury might be reduced to the Genus . of Shrubbs. I do in the following tables comply with that opinion, which ieems moft common and probable.
The rcalbnwhy the two laft differences of Trpes, is not from their fruit ( as the others are ) but from their Woods and Hines , or from their Rojins and Cumms , is becaufe thele are the only things that we yet know of them,their natures in other refpe&s being not yet (for ought I know} deicribed by any Authors-
As for any new Jpecies of Plants that ihall hereafter be diicovered, ’tis probable they may by analogie be reduced either to fome of the fami* . /ze^here mqptioned, or at leaft to iome of the Tribes.
I have added to the feveral fpecies of Plants and Animals , their Latin names in the Margin, becaufe many of them are as well, if not better, known by iuch compellations j and becaufe they are moft frequently • treated of by the Authors who write ip that Language*

VJ. LJAving now difpatehed the enumeration and defeription of the fe-
O vcral fpecies of Animals, I (hall here take leave for a (hort digreffi-
on, wherein I would recommend this, as a thing worthy to be obferved,
namely, that great difference which there is betwixt thofe opinions and
apprehenfioris which are occafioned by a more general and confuted
view of things, and thofe which proceed from a more diftindt confidera-
tion of them as they are reduced into order. *
He that looks upon the Starrs, as they are confufedly fcattered up and down in the Firmament, will think them to be (as they are fometirnes (tiled ) innumerable, of fovafta multitude, asnot to be determined to any fet number : but when all thefe Starrs are diftindtly reduced into particular con (foliations, and defcribed by their feveral places, magni- tudes and names, it appears, that of thofe that are vifible to the naked , " ' eye, there are but few meye then a tnoufand in the whole Firmament,
and but a little mpre then half (o many to be teen at once inany Hemf- fphere, taking in the minuter kinds of them, even to fix degrees of mag- nitude. Ft is fo likdwife in other things : He that (houid put the Quefti- in^haw many forts of beads, or birds, &c. there are in the world, would be anfvvered, even by fuch as are otherwife knowing and learned men, that there are te> many hundreds of them, as could not be enumerated ^ whereas upon a diftindt inquiry into all fuch as are yet known, and have , beett defcribed by credible Authors, it will appear that they are much fewer then is commonly imagined, not a hundred forts of Beads, nor tWQ .«! hundred of Birds.
C,- •
".v.-s'-i.-. From this prejudice it is, that some hereticks of old, and fome Atheidi- cat feoffors in thefe later times, having taken the advantage of railing ob- jedtions, (fuch as they think unanfwerable) sgainft the truth ana au-
- 1 thority of Scripture, particularly as to the defoription which is given by
Jktojify concerning JNoah-a Ark, Gen. 6. *5. where the dimenfions of it . are let down fo> be three hundred cubits in length, fifty in breadth, and thirty in height, which being compared with the things it was to contein, it teemed to them upon a general view, fand they confidently affirmed 7 v. ^accordingly ) that it was utterly impoffibfo for this Aik to hold fovafta .. multitude of Animals, with a whole years provifion of food for each of then*. This

. This objection feemjd foconfiderable, both to fome of the ancient Fathers, and of our later Divines , who were otherwife learned and ju- dicious men) but lefs verfed in Philofophy and Mathematicks.that they have been put to miferablc Ihifts for the lolving of it. Origeti , and Saint Aufiin , and feveral other confiderable Authors, do for the avoiding of this difficulty affirm, that being Ikilled in all th? learning cf the Egyptians) doth by the meafure of cubits, hereapplycd to the Ark, un* derftand the ^Egyptian Geometrical cubit , each of which (lay they) did contein fix of the vulgar cubits, namely, nine foot. But this doth upon feveral accounts feem very unreafonable,becaule it doth not appear, that there was any (itch meafure amongft the ^Egyptians or Jews, ftyled the Geometrical cubit : Andif there were, yet there is no particular realbn, why. this fenfe Ihould be apply ed to the word cubit here, rather then in other places* It is laid of Goliah ., that his height was fix cubits and a 1Sam.i7.4i fpan, which being underftoo.d of the Geometrical cubit , will make him fifty four foot high, and confequently his head muft be about nine foot in the height or diameter of it, which muft needs be too heavy for Da- vid to carry*
Others not finished with this lolution, think they have found a better anfwer, by afierting that the ftature of mankind being confiderably larger in the firft ages of the world, therefore the meafure of the cubit muft be larger likewifc,and perhaps double to now what it is, which will . much inlarge the capacity of the Ark. But neither will this afford any reafonable iatisfattion. For if they will fuppofe men to be of a much bigger ftature then, ’tis but reafonable that the like fhould be luppoted of other animals alfo 5 in which cafe this anfwer amounts to nothing*
Others will have the facred cubit to be here intended, which is filid to be a hands breadth longer then the civil cubit, £**0^43. 13. Butthere is not any reafon or neceffity for this* And ’tis generally believed, that the facred cubit was ufed only in the meafure of facred Struftures,as the Tabernacle and Temple,
This teeming difficulty is much better folved by Job. Buteo in the Trad* de Area Noe, wherein fuppofing the cubit to be the lame with whaii we now call a foot and a half, he proves Mathematically that there was alufficient capacity in the ^r^, for the conteining all thote things it was dcligned for. But becaufe there are fome things liable to exception id the Philofophical part of that diteourte, particularly in his enumeration of the fpecies of Animals, feveral of which are fabulous, fome notdiftindfc fpecies, others that are true fpecies being left out j therefore I conceive it may not be improper in this place to offer another account of thole
things* ...
It is plain in the deteription which Jldojes gives of the Ark ., that it was divided into three ftories,cach of them of ten cubits or fifteen foot high, befidesone cubit allowed for the declivity of the roof in the upper fto- ry. And ’tis agreed upon as moft probable, that the lower ftory wps alfigned to contein all the fpecies of beafts, the middle ftory for their food, and the upper ftory, in one part of it, for the birds and their food, apd the other part for Noah, his family and utenfils.
Now it may clearly be made out , that each of thele ftories was of a y fufficient capacity for the conteining all thofe things to which they ate aliigned.

for the m&re diftindt clearing up of this, I ihall firft lay down feveral tables of the divers fpeciesofbeaffc that were to be received into the Ark, according to the different kinds offood, wherewith they are ufual- Jy nourifhedjConteinlng both the number appointed for each of them, namely, the clean by fevens,and the unclean by pairs, together with a conjecture (for the greater facility of the calculation) what proportion each of them tnay bear, either to a Beef, or a Sheep, or a Wolf; and then what kind of room maybe allotted to the making of fufiicient Stalls for their reception.

As for the Morfe, Seale, Turtle, or Sea-Tortoife, Crocodile, Senembi,
TheSe are uSually deferibed to be fuchkindof Animals is can abide in the water, and therefore I have not taken them into the Ark, tho if that Werencceflary, there would be room enough for them,' as will Shortly appear. The Serpentine- kind, Snake, Viper, Slow- Worm, Litard, Frog,
Toad, might have fufficient fpace for their reception, and for their nou- rishment, in the Drein or Sink, of the Ark, which was probably three or four foot under the floor for the (landings of the Beads. As for thole ' defier Beads, Moufe.Mole^s likewife for the feveral Species oflnSedte, there can be no reafon to queflion,but tfiat thefe may find fuffident room in Several par ts of the Ark, without having any particular Stalls appoint* ed for them*
Tho it feera mod probable, that before the Flood, both Men, Beads and Birds did feed only upon Vegetables, as may appear from that place,
Gen, 1.39,30* And God faid, Behold I have given you every herb bearing feed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yelding Jeed, to you it Jhall be for meat. And to every beajl of the earth , and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that ertepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green both fot meat , com- pared with chap. 9. 3. Where after the Flood, when the produ&ions of the Earth were become of leSs efficacy and vigor, and consequently left fit
- for nourishment, God laith to Noah, Every moving thing that livetb , Jhall
be meat for you, even ns the green herb hovel given you all things. Yeti becaufe this proof is not fo very cogent to convince a captious Adversa- ry, but that he may dill be apt to quedion,whether the Rapacious kinds of Beads and Birds,who in the natural frame of their parts are peculiar*
]y fitted for the catching and devouring of their prey; did ever feed up- on herbs and fruits 3 Therefore to prevent fuch Cavils, I Shall be content to Suppofe that thole Animals which are now Prodatory were So from thebegining: upon which, it will be pecefiary to enquire, what kind offood might be proper and fufficient for them, during their abode in the Ark- Now ’tis commonly known, that the ruminant kind are modi ufually ' the prey for the rapacious kind of beads.
It appeares by the foregoing tables, that the Deads of the Rapacious oar - ‘ nivorous kinds, to be brought into the Ark. by pairs, were but forty in allj or^wenty pairs, which upon a fair calculation are fuppofed equivalent, as to the bulk of their bodies and their food, unto twenty Seven IVolves 5 but for greater certainty, let thqm beliippofed equall to thirty IVolves: and let it be further fuppofed, that Six IVolves will every day devour a whole Sheep , which all Men will readily grant to be more then Sufficient for thEir neceflary fudenance : According to this computation;five sheep tnud be allotted to be devoured for food each day of the year, which amounts in the whole to 1 82 5.
Upon thefe Suppositions there mud be convenient room in the lower
66
Noahs Ar]\. fcart. II.
ftory of the Ark. to contein the forementioned forts of hearts which were to be preferved for the propagating; of their kinds, belides 1825. sheepy which were to be taken in as food for the rapacious Beajis »
. And tho there might fecm no juft ground of exception, if thefc beafts fhould be flow'd clofe together, as is now ufoal in Ships,when they are to be tranfported for any long voyage; yet I (ball not take any fuch advan- tage, but afford them fuch fair Stalls or Cabins as may be abundantly fuf- ficient for them in any kind of pofture, either ftanding, or lying, or turn- ing themfelves, as likcwife to receive all the dung that fhould proceed from them for a whole year.
And that the .Ark. was of a fufficient capacity for thefe purpofes, will appearfrom the following Diagram. In which there is a partition at each end of the Ark. t marked A A, of fifteen foot wide, and the breadth of the Ark. being feventy five foot; thefe partitions muft contein in them five Areas of fifteen foot fquare, and an Area of five foot fquare, being fufficient to contein four sheep, therefore one of fifteen foot fquare muft be capable of thirty fix sheep ; Allowing one of thefe Areas at each end for flairs, there will eight of them remain, (viz. four at each end)to be reckoned upon for the conteining of sheep ; which eight will be capable of receiving 388 Sheep*
Befides thefe partitions, at the end there are five feveral paflages marked B B, of feven foot wide for the more convenient accefs to the fe- veral Stalls ;the four Areas on the fide marked CC, defigned for Stalls, are each of them eighteen foot wide, and about two hundred foot long. And the two middle Areas marked D D, are each of them twenty five foot wide, and about two hundred foot long.
Suppofing the two middle Areas to bedefigned for Sheeps an Area of twenty five foot fquaremuft be capable of a hundred, and there being fixteen of thefe, they muft be capable of 1 60c which being added to the former number of 288 will make i888.fomewhat more then 1835 the number affigned for thofe that were to be taken in for food.
The four fide Areas marked CC, being each of them eighteen foot wide, and two hundred foot long, will be more then fufficient to contein the feveral beafts which were to be preferved for the propagating of their kind} forwhich in the foregoing Tablestheir is allotted to the length of their Stalls only fix hundred and fix foot, befides the largenefi of the Stalls allotted to each of them. So that there will be near upon two hundred foot overplus, for the reception of any other beafts, not yet enumerated or difeovered.
As for that fafhion of the Keel of Ships now in ufe, whereby they are fitted for paffagt through the Waters, and to endure the motion of the Waves ; This would not have been convenient for the bufinefs here ^e- figned , The y 4 r^.being intended only for a kind of Float to fwim above water, the flatnefs of its bottom, did render it much more capacious, for thereceptjop of thofe many living Creatures, which wefe to be contein- ed in it. And tho towards the end of the Flood when it began to abate, God is faid to Make a wind to pafover th% Earth , whereby the waters were a ffi? a & e d&e n.8.i.Yet’tis ndt likely that in the time of the deluge, "when the. whole Earth was overflowed, that there fhould be any fuch rough .and boifteroiis winds as might endanger a Vcfk -1 of this Figure; fuch winds ufually proceeding from dry Land.

Chap. V. Noahs Ar\\.
Fromheoce it may be evident, that there was fufficient room in the lower ftory for the convenient reception of all the forts of beafts that are yet known , and probably for thofe other kinds that are yet un- known to theft; parts of the World,
The next thing to be cleared up, is the capacity of the fecond ftory for conteining a years provifion of food. In order to which ’tis to be ob- lerved } that the feveral beafts feeding cn hay, were before upon a fair cab eulatien fuppofed equal to ninety two Beeves : but to prevent all kind of Cavils which may be made at the proportioning of them, let them be as a hundred, befidcs the 1825, sheep taken in for food.But now becaufe thefe are to be devoured by five per diem , therefore the years provifion to be made for them, is to be reckoned but as for half that number, viz. 912. Theft being divided by (even to bring them unto a proportion with the Beeves , will amount to 180, which added to the former hundred make 280, fuppoft three hundred . So tten according to this fuppofition, there muft be fufficieot provifion of hay in the fecond ftory to fuftein three hundred Beeves for a whole year.
Now ’tis obferved (faith Buteo) by Columella, who was very well ver- fed in the experiments of Hufbandry, that thirty or forty pound of hay is ordinarily fufficient for an Ox for one day, reckoning twelve ounces in the pound. But we will fuppoft forty of our pounds. And ’tis aflerted by Buteo upon his own tryal and experience, that a (olid cubit of dryed hay, comprefled,as it ufes to be, when it hath lain any confiderable time in Mows or Reeks, doth weigh about forty pound 5 fo that for three hundred Beeves for a whole year there muft be 109500. fuch cubits of hay, ( /. e. ) 365. multiplied by 300. Now the fecond ftory being ten cubits high, three hundred long, and fifty broad, muft contein 150000. folid cubits, which ismore by 40500 then what is neceflary for fo much tomprefled hay 5 and will allow fpace enough both for any kind of beams and pillars neceflary for thaifabric, as likewift for othlr repofito- ries,for fuch fruits, roots, grain or feed, as may be proper for the nourifh- ment of any of the other Ampuls. And Kkewife for fuch convenient paflages and apertures in the floor as might be neceflary for the putting down of the hay to the Stalls in the lower ftory. From which it is mani- feft that the fecond ftory was fufficiently capacious of all thofe things de- figqedforit*
And theq as for the third ftory ; there can be no Colour of doubt, but that one half of it will be abundantly fufficient for all the fpecies of birds, tho they jEhould be twice as many as are enumerated in the foregoing tables, together with food fufficient for their fuftenante, becaufe they are generally but of fmall bulk, and may eafily be kept ih feveral partiti- ons or Cages over one another. Nor is there anjr reafbn to qireftion, but that the other half would afford fpace ehough both fbt fJodk’s family and utenfils. '• '
' Upon the whole matter, it doth of the t Wo, appear more, difficult to af- fign a fufficient number and bulk of neceflary things , to atfWef the Capa- city of the^r^, rather then to find fufficient room 'tor thofe fbveral fpecies of Animals already known. But becaufe it may be reafbnably prefumed, tbatthcre are feveral other fpecies of beafts and birds, efpecially in the uhdifeovered parts of the world, befides thofe here enumerated,therefore ais but reafonable to fuppofe the Arf^ to be of a bigger capacity, then

what may be diffident for the things already known, and upon this ac- count it may be allerted, that if fuch perfons who are moft expert in Phi- lofophy or Mathematicks, were now to affign the proportions of a Veflel that might be finable to the ends here propofed, they could not ( all things corfideredj find out any more accommodate to thefepurpofes, then thole here mentioned.
From what hath beenfaid it may appear, that the mealure and capa- city of the Ark^ t which Ibrne Atheiftical irreligious men make ule of, as an argument againft the Scripture, ought rather to beefteemedamoft rational confirmation of the truth and divine authority of it. Efpecially if it be well confidered, that in thofe firft and ruder ages of the World, when men were lels verfed in Arts ar d Philofophy , andtherefore pro- bably more obnoxious to vulgar prejudices then now they are, yet the capacity and proportions of the Ark. are fo well adjufted to the thingsit was to contein ; whereas if it had taen a meer humane invention, 'tis mod probable , that it would have oeen contrived according to thole wild apprehenfions, which (as I faid before) do naturally arife from a more confuted and general view of things, as much too big, as now fuch men are apt to think it too little, for thofe ends and pur poles to which it was defigned.

11 . Meafuresof Magnitude do comprehend both thofc of Length, and n. MAGNt- bf Superficies or Area, together with thoiS of Solidity } both com pre- TU1)E * hended in that which is adjayned, viz. the word CAPACITY, hold,
Contain. The feveral Nations of the World do not more differ in their Languages, then in the various kinds and proportions* of thefe Mea- sures. And it is not without great difficulty, that the Meafures obferved by all thofe different Nations who traffick together, are reduced to that which is commonly known and received by any one of them s, which la- bour would be much abbreviated, if they were all of them fixed to any one certain Standard. To which purpofe, it were mod deiirable to find out fbme natural Standard^ or universal Afeajure^v/hich hath been efteem- cd by Learned men as one of the dejiderata in Philofbphy.If this could be done in Longitude , the other Meafures might be eafily fixed from thence.
This was heretofore aimed at and endeaVoured after in all thole va- rious Meafures, derived from natural things, though none of them do fttfficiently anfwer this end. As for that of a Barly corn , which is made the common ground and original of the reft, the magnitude and weight of it may be fo various in feveral times and places, as will render it inca- pable of ferving for this purpofe j which is true likewife of thofe other Meafures, an Inch, Palm, Span, Cubit) Fathom, a Foot , Pact} 8cc. none of which can be d etermined to any fofficient certainty.
Some have conceived that this might be better done by fubdividing at Degree upon the Earth : But there would be fo much difficulty and uncer- tainty in this way as would render it unprafticable. Others have thought.
It might be derived from the guickzjilver experiment : But the unequal gravity and thicknefs of the Atmofthere, together with the various tem- pers of Air in feveral places and leafons, would expofe that alio to much uncertainty.
The mod probable way for the effe&ing of this, is that which was firft fuggefted by Do&or Chrijlopher Wren$ namely, by Vibration of a Pendu- lum : Time it felf being a natural Meafure, depending upon a revolution of the Heaven or the Earth , which is fuppofed to be every-where equal and uniform. If any way could be found out to make Longitude com- menfurable to Time, this might be the foundation of a natural Standard.
In order to which.
Let there be a folid Ball exa&ly round, of fbme of the heavieft metals ■
Let there be a String to hang it upon, the fmalleft ,lirobereft, and leafl liab- le# to retch : Let this Ball be fufpended by this String, being ratended to fuch a length, that the fpace of every Vibration may be equaWo a fecond Minute of time, the String being, by frequent trials, either lengthned or ihortned, till it attain to this equality : Thefe Vibrations fhouldbethe finalleft, that can laft a Efficient fpace of time , to afford a confiderable -number of them, either 6, or 500 at leaft j for which end, its palling an arch of five or fix degrees at the firft, may be fufficient. The Penduluni being fo ordered as to have every one of its Vibrations equal to a fecond minute of time, which is to be ad jufted with much care and exadknefs 5 then meafure the length of this String, from its place of fufpenfiontothe Centre of the Ball * which Meafure muft be taken as it hangs free in its perpendicular pofture, andnototherwife, becaufe of ftretching: which 4 , being done, there are given thefe two Lengths, viz. of the String , and of the Radius of the Ball,to which a third Proportional muft be found out 5
. Which

which muft be.as the length of the String from the point of Su fpcnlion to
the Centre of the Ball is to the Radius of the Ball,(o muft the laid Radius
be to this third : which being fo found , let two fifths of this third Pro-
portional be fet off from the Centre downwards, and that will give the
Mealiire defired. And this (according tothedifcoVery and oblervaticn
of thole two excellent perlbns,the Lord Vilcount Brounckpr, Prefident of
the Royal Society, and Mon. Huygens ,a worthy Member of it) will prove
to be $8 Rhiuland laches, or (which is all one) 39 Inches and a quarter*
according to our London Standard.
Let this Length therefore be called the Standard 3 let one Tenth of it be called a Foot 3 one Tenth of a Foot, an lnch\ one Tenth of an Inch, a Line. And lo up ward, Ten Standards fhould be a Pearch 3 TenPearches, a Furlong 5 Ten Furlongs, a Mile ; Ten Miles, a League , &c.
And lo for Mealures of Capacity : The cubical content of this Standard may be called the Bujhel : the Tenth part of the Bufbel, the Pecky the Tenth part of a Peck, a §>uart 3 and the Tenth of that, a Pint, See. And lo for as many other Meafures-upwards as lhall be thought expedient for ufe.
As for Mealures of Weight 5 Let this cubical content of diftilled Rain- water be the Hundred 3 the Tenth part of that, a Stone 3 the Tenth part of a Stone, a Pound 3 the Tenth of a Pound, an Ounce 3 the Tenth of an Ounce, a Dram-, the Tenth of a Dram, a Scruple 3 the Tenth of a Scruple, a Crain, &c. And lo upwards 3 Ten of thefe cubical Meafures may be called a Ihoufand , and Ten of thefe Thouland may be called a Inn, &c.
„ As for the Meafures of Mony’ tis requifite that they Ihould be determi-
ned by the differentQuantities of thole two natural Metals which are the moft ulual materials of it, viz. Cold and «?/ 7 r/er,confidered in their Purity without any allay. A Cube of this Standard of either of thefe Metals may be ftyled a ihoufand or a Talent of each 3 the Tenth part of this weight, a Hundred 3 the Tenth of a Hundred, a Pound 3 the Tenth of a Pound, an Angel 3 the Tenth of an Angel, a shilling 3 the Tenth of a Shilling, a Teny 3 the Tenth of a Peny, a Farthing.
I mention thele particulars, not out of any hope or expe&ation that the World will ever make ufe of them, but only tolhewthe poffibilityof reducing all Mealures to one determined certainty.

CHAP. XII.
I. A general Explication of the defign of the foregoing Tables. I I. Par -
ticular Infiances in the fix principal Beads of it. Ill, Some things
to be noted concerning rf«d.Synonyma. IV. An enume-
ration of what kinds of things are not to be particularly ptovided for in fuch tables.
T He principal defign aimed at in thefe tables, is to give a fufficient 1 »
enumeration of all fuch things and notions, as are to have names * ‘ afligned to them, and withall fo to contrive thefe as to their order, that the place of everything may Contribute to a defeription of the nature of it. Denoting both the General and the Particular head under which it is placed 5 and the Common difference whereby it is diftinguifhed from other things of the fame kind.
It would indeed be much more convenient and advantageous, if thefe Tables could be fo contrived, that every difference amongft the Pre dica- ments might have a tranfcendental denomination, and not depend at all upon a numerical inftitution. But I much doubt, whether that Theory • of things already received, will admit of it 5 nor doth Language afford convenient terms, by which to exprefs feveral differences.
It were likewife defirable to a perfedt definition of each fpecies,
.that the immediate form which gives the particular eflence to every thing might be expreffed 5 but this form being a thing which then do not know, it cannot be expefted that it fhould be deferibed. And therefore in the ftead of it, there is reafon why men fhotfld be content with fuch a defeription by properties and circumjlances , as ma y be fufficient to deter- mine the primary fenfe of the thing defined.
Of thefe deferiptions I (hall here give an inftance under each of the jj. fix Principal Heads.
The word Goodneji is a tranfcendental, one of the General differences TRANS- of things, or affeftions of entity, implying a refpeft to fomething with- outitfelf, namely, to the Will, by agreement to which things are ren- dered lovely and defirable , as by their difagreement they are tendered hateful and avoidable, which is the oppofite notion of kvil.
• The word diamond doth by its place in the Tables appear to be a Sttbftance, a Stone, a pretious Stone, tranfparent, colourlefs, moft hard stanCf. and bright*
The word F lower or bloffbm is one of the peculiar parts, belonging to ■ -
Plants, an annual part, more principal, antecedent to the feed,confidera- ble for its beauty and colour.
The words Newnefs and Oldnefs do fignifie notions belonging to guan- QUAtftiTf; tityf. o fpace,to time, and more particularly to time paft, according to the degrees of left or greater, as the next pair, fo'onnefsznd latenefi^ doth relate to time future, according to the laine degrees of Left or Greater.
The word Moderation is a Quality , a Habit, an Affeftion of intel- miAtrrt.

hftualviitue, whereby we are concerned for any truthaccording toa due mcafure, not mere or lels then the evidence and importance of it doth require, to which .the notion of fietcenefi or fanaticali h(H isoppojed as the deficient extreme.
ACTION. The word Pitty, doth by its place denote an Aftion,fpiritual, of the foul in refpeftof the Appetite, whofe actions are commonly fitted Afi feftionsor Paflions : 'Tis a mixed Pafficn, confiding of Grief and Love, occafionetj by feme evil, which (as we think) doth unworthily befall others. As Envy doth of Grief and Hate upon account of feme good befalling others (as we think) unworthily.
RELATION. The word Parent by the place of it in the Tables , doth denote the thing thereby fignified.to be a Relation,Oeconomical,of Conlanguinity, dire ft afeending ; as Child is direft defeending.
And thus is it with all thofe other particulars, which are placed either direftly or collaterally , either by way of Oppcfition or of affinity.
Only ’tis here to be noted.
0 - HI. i. Thatfome of thofe which are plaeed as Oppofitet, donotalwayes fall out to be under the fame Predicament or Genus with thofe things to which they are adioyned as it mud be in fuch things as are privative/p oppofed, isBlindneJs, Dtafneft, Darkpefi, See. And 10 like wife for feme of thofe fpecies which are put in for their affinity, as Point, Center, Pole, find fuch other things as are not diredly , but redudively only under any predicament.
2. T hat fbme Radixes , befides the redundant and deficient extremes, have likewife an Oppofite common 5 fo to the word Jufiice, there is oppo- fed an Oppofite common , Injufiice, befides the excels Rigor, and the defeft Remijfion. So to Veracity, the Oppofite common \s lying-, which maybe either by way of Excels, over-faying', boading, flattering ': or of Defeft, under-faying , detraction. So to h quality, the Oppofite common is Inequality, imparity jdifparity 5 the excels of which is Superiority, and the deleft In- feriority. This is natural to all Radixes that have double Oppofites, though indituted Languages have not provided words to exprels it.
3. Many of the Synonymous words put to the Radixes , are referred to more heads then one, upon account of their various equivocal accep-
, tions. And befides fuch words or phrafes as are more plainly Synony- mouSjthere is likewife an addition of luch other, as are either more im- mediate derivations, whether Adjeftives, Verbs, Adverbs : or more medi- ate, being by compofition to be made off from thofe Radixes to which they are ad joynea : Of which I fhall give an indance or two, under each of the fix general Heads.

Amongft which, the wads Weal, welfare, are mentioned as Synonoma , denoting fuch a date of being as is defina- ble, and are luppoled to be Subdantives Neuter. Wed- doing cr Good aftion, is the Subdan. Aft. The words Good.right, regular, are the Pcfitive adjeftives from the root, Better, befi, are the Comparative and Superlative adjeftives.

Grammar may be diftinguifht into two kinds 3 1. Natural, and. Ge- neral 5 7. Injlitutedznd Particular. -
1. Natural Grammar, (which may likewife be (filed Philofophi- cal. Rational, and Univerfal) (hould contain all fuch Grounds and Rules, as do naturally and neceflarily belong to the Philosophy of letters and fpeech in the General.
2. Infiituted and Particular Grammar, doth deliver the rules which are proper and peculiar to any one Language in Particular 5 as about the Inflexion of words, and the Government of cafes, &c. In the Latin , Greeks, &c. and is defined by Scaligeria befeientia loquendi De c*ufis l . ex ujit. L.caf.'jt.
The fir(i of thefe only is upon this occaflon to be conlidered. It hath been treated of but by few,/whieh makes our Learned Verulam put it among his Defiderata 5 I do opt know any more that have pur* pofely written of it, but Scotsss in his Grammatica Jpeculativa , and Caramuel in his Grammatica Audax.aad CampaneUa in his Grammatica Pbilofophica. (As for Schioppius his Grammar, of this title, that doth wholly concern the Latin tongue Befldes which, fomething hath been occaGonally fpoken of it, by Scaligeria his book de caujis lingua latina 5 and by Vojfius in his Arif arc but. But to me it feems, that all thefe Authors in lome meafure (though fome more then others) were fo far prejudiced by the common Theory of the languages th6y were acquainted with, that they did not fufficiently abffracf their rules

according to Nature. In which I do not hope, that this which is now to be delivered can be faultlefs 3 ic being very hard, (if not im- poffible) wholly to efcape fuch prejudices : yet I am apt to think it lefs erroneous in this refpedt then the reft.
The parts of Grammar are principally thefe three.
1. Concerning the kinds of words, or thofe feveral modes and re- fpe&s,' according to which the names of things may be varied in their Acceptions 3 being made either derivative Nouns, or Adverbs 3 toge- ther with their feveral inflexions and compofitions 3 which may be ftiled Etymology ♦
7 ♦ Concerning the proper union or right confera&ion of thefe into frofcfitions or Sentences 3 .which is called syntax.
3. Concerning the moft convenient marks or founds for the ex- preffion of fuch names or words 5 whether by writing. Orthography > or by Jptocb, Orthoepy.
The firft of thefe concerning the Do&rine of Words , may refer either, 1. To the formal differences or kinds of them 3 or, 2. To the Accidental changes of them, inrefpe&of Inflexion, Derivation, Com- fofltion.
Words, according to their formal differences ,and kinds, may be thus distributed.

Chap. I- Concerning Natural (jrammar. ipp
Every Noun which in conjunction with a Verb makes a compleat
fentence, and fignifies (imply, and per modum jubfiftentit per ft, is called
a Subftantive. That which fignifies per modum Adjunct, or adjacent k
alteri , is called an Adje&ive.
Subftantives belong either to one, called Proper : or to many, and are therefore ft y led Common.
The former of thefe are riot to be brought under the rules of any fcience, becaufe Individuals are Infinite 3 and therefore fuch proper turner as pertain each to one only, (hould be efteemed as fo many Ar- ticulate voices , to be exprefled by fuch particular vowels Snd confo- nants as will make fuch refpe&ive founds.
Noun Subftantives Common are fuch names as areaftigned to the fe- ^ jy veral kinds or fpecies of things or notions 3 which, though they are ^ . very numerous, yet are they capable of being ftated and fixed accord- ing to a Philofophical method, as is endeavoured in the fore-going Ta- bles. Concerning which thefe rules are to be obferved.
I. Every Radical word in the Tables is fuppofed to be a Subftan- tive 3 though they could not all of them be fo exprefled, becaufe of the defed of proper words for them in the prefent Languages 3 upon which account there is a neceflity of exprefling fbme of them by Adje- &ives, and fome by an Aggregate of words : but they are all of them to be underftood as being Ample Subftantives.
a. Thefe Radical Subftantives may be of various kinds, either 1. Of the thing. 2. Of the A&ion or Pajfion. Or, 3. Of the Perjon , Befidesthofe other kind of Subftantives which proceed from thefe 3 whether Abftra&t Neuter , as Deity, Regality , &c. or fuch other Ab- - ftraCts, whether ASiive or Pafjroe , as denote a proclivity or capacity, as Amoroujnejs , Amiablenejs, &c. which are provided for by the Tran- foendental Particles.
3. When the Radical is a Noun Subftantive of the thing, the moft immediate derivations from it, are the Subftantives A&ivc and Pafjive, to be exprefled by the mark of A&iveor Paflive upon the Radical.
And the Subftantive of the perjon , whether Agent or Patient , by the Adje&ive, A&ive or Paflive in the AoriftTenfe, with the Tranfcen- dental mark of Perjon 3 So Dux and Color , Light and Heat, are Sub- ftantives of the thing t llluminatio and Calefa&io, En'ightning, Heat- ing, are the Subftantives A&ive, or of the A&ion 3 ri illuminari , cale- fieri , the being Enlightned and Heated are Subftantives Paflive : or of the Pajfion 3 Illuminator, Cole jailor, or illuminans & caleji tciens perjona , the Enlightner and Heater, are Subftantives of the Perjon agent 3 lllu- minatus and Caleja&us , the Illuminated or Heated, are Subflantives of the Perjon Patient.
4. When the Radical is a Subftantive of the A&ion , then the Sub- ftantive of the Perjon, is to be exprefled as in the former rule 3 fo Liga - tio, Paftio, Salivatio 3 Binding, Feeding, Spitting, are Subftantives of the A&ion 3 Ligator , Paftor, Salivator 3 Binder , Feeder , Spitter, are Subftantives of the Agent 3 and Ligatus, Paftus, Salivatus 3 Bound,
Fed, Befpit, are the Subftantives of the Patient. And the Subftaotive of the thing whether Aftive or Paflive, is in this cafe to be exprefled, by the Adje&ive, A&ive or Paflive in the Aorift Tenfe, with the Tran-
fcendenta!

fcendental mark of Thing. So Ligans ret , a binding thing, is Ligamen- tum, a Bond or String* and nutrient or pafcent ret , a nourilhing or feeding thing, is nutrimentum, food or nourilhment ; fo ligata ret, a bound thing, is Ligatum , a Bundle or Fardle ; Co excreta or falivata ret , is Excrementum , or Saliva , Excrement or Spittle.
5. When the Radical is a Subftantive of the Perjbn , then the Sub* ftantiveof the Adion or Paffion ("as was laid before) are the moft immediate derivations from it, and to be exprefted by the Mark of Adive or Paffive upon the Radical 5 So AJagijiratus, Rex 3 Judex , &c. Magijlratf, King , Judge, &c. are Radicals ot the Perlon ; The Sub- ftan fives of Adion belonging to each ofthefe, are Guhernatio , Regno - tip, Judicatio , Governing , Reigning , Judging * And the Subftantive of the Thing whether Adive or PaJJrve , is to be exprefted by the Adjedive Adive or Paffive in the AoriltTenfe, with the Transcendental note of TArag ; So Guhernant ret a governing thing ; regent ret a reign- ing thing ; and judicant ret a judging thing, vis. A Canon or Rule by which we judge of (freight and crooked, right and wrong 5 So Gubernatares , the governed thing, is Dilio, Territory, Dominion, Ju- rifdi&ion > Regnat arts, is Regnum the Kingdom 5 Judicata res, is Judi- cium. Judgment.
As thole names which are alligned to lignifie things themfelves, and do not denote either Adion or Paffion, are ftiled Nount neuter: fo thole names which are affigned to lignifie the Doing or Suffering of things are ftiled Adive or Pajjive. The lame notion which in the Greek. and Latin is exprefted by the Infinitive Mode Adive or Paffive, is that which I here intend by the Subftantive Adive or Paffive =, and that it may properly be lb ftiled, 1 (hall endeavour to prove afterwards.
Though every Noun Subftantive have not an Adive or Paffive be- longing to it either in the Greek . ., Latin , Englijh , &C. yet according to the Nature and Philofophy of things, whatloever hath an Ejfence, muft like wife have an Ad $ either of Being or becoming •* or of Doing or being done : or of making or being made : to be, or do. And consequently every Radical Subftantive which is capable of Adion, fhould have an Adive or Paffive formed from it, which is commonly called a Verb,
As for foch things which have not of their own any proper Ad of Doing , they arc not capable of the derivation of Adive and Paffive, ob defedum materia 5 as in the words Stone, Mettle, &c. But the Verbs belonging to fiich Radicals can be only Neuter , denoting the Ad of Being or becoming; unlels when they are compounded with the Tranfcendental mark of Caufatio, which will adde to them a Tranli- tive fcnle, asPetrifie, Metallifie, &c.
As for fuch other Radicals as are capable of Adion or Paffion,thefe Rules are to be obferved concerning them.
1. More Generally thefe two.
1. Things which according to common acception have belonging to them any one proper Ad of Doings their Verbs Adives will denote this Ad: For inftance, the Verb or Subftantive Adive of the words Fire, Water , &c. is to burn, wet 5 and lo for thole Ads of the feveral parts, Tongue, tooth, Mouth , Throat, Foot, Heel, whole adive by this
Rule

Chap. I. Concerning Natural grammar. 301
Rule will be to lick., bite, devour, fro allow, trample , kjc\, and tlicf Adive of Bow, Gun, is ioshoot as with a Bow, Gun.
2. Things which have not, according to common acception, any one kind of peculiar Ad of Doing appropriate to them; the Adives belonging to fuch things, willfignifie in the General to Ad or do ac- cording to the nature ot fuch things.
2. More Particularly thefefour.
1. The Adives belonging to fuch Radicals as ar e$nb fiances, whe- ther Abfolute or Relative, do fignifie to Ad according to the nature of fuch Subftances ; loin abfolute Sub fiances, the Adiveof God, Spi- rit, Man, will fignifie to Ad as God, Spirit, Man; and foin Relative Subfiances, the Adive of Father , Judge, Magiftrate, is to Ad as a Fa- ther, Judge, Magiflrate.
2. The Adives of Quality, whether Predicamental or Tranfcen- dental, do denote the Ads of thole Jpecies, with particular reference to the differences under which they are placed i So the Adive of Eajl,
Weft, Obliquity, & c. being under the difference of Situation, muflfig- nifie to fituate a thing Eafterly , Wefierly, obliquely. The words of Line,
Surface , Body, being under the difference of Dimenfion $ the Adive belonging to them mufl fignifie to Dimeniionateas either of thefe.
• The words under the differences of Figure, mufl in their Adives fignifie to Figure according to fuch particular ffaapes.
Thofe under the difference of Time, the Adives of Prejent, Simul- taneous, Newnejs, Oldnefs, Soonefs, kc. mufl fignifie to Ad with fuch refpedsof Time.
TheAdiyesof the Differences and Species under Meafure, fhould regularly fignifie to Meafure by Humber, Magnitude , Gravity, Valour, Duration. The Adive of Inch , Foot, Face, Fathom, is to Meafure by Inch, Foot, &c. and fo for thofe other Species of Grane, Drachm, kc.
Farthing, Fenny, &c.
The Adive of Minute, Hour, Day, Night, Ike. will fignifie to conti- nue for fuch portions or meafures of time, according tathe fenfe of the Difference, Duration, imdex which thefe fpecies are placed.
The Adive of Infancy , Childhood, Adolefcency, kc. may fignifie to pals the time of one’s Infancy, Childhood, Adolefeency, &c.
3. The Adive of fuch Radicals as are Qualities, whether Predica- inentalor Tranfeendcntal, fignifie to do ordeal according to the fig- nification of the faid qualities $ So the Adive of Fidelity, Severity, kc m willfignifie to deal or Ad, Faithfully, Severely, &c. The Adive of Goodnefs, Evilnefs, kc. will fignifie to Ad or Do well or ill, &c.
4. The Adive of fuch Radicals as denote A&ions, need no other ex- plication but this, that feme of them are Adive Abfolute , which in the ufual Grammars are filled Neuter $ as Sto, Sedeo, Curro 5 others Tran- fttive, denoting a tranfient efficiency 5 into which latter kind, the former of thefe may be chaoged (as was faid before) by compofition with the Tranfeendental mark of Caufation.
There are feveral Englifh Verbs, which, without admitting any change by Compofition or Inflexion, have both a Neuter and a Tran- fitive fignification * as Corrupt, Feed, Starve, Famijb, Move, Reft , Hang,
Extend, Shrink , , Stagger, Stay, kc. whofe fenfe is to be diflinguifht by theconftrudion.
There
$01
Concerning J^jiural (grammar. Part III.
There are fome Verbs of the lame Natural Philofophical Radix,
which a re yet exprefled by different words, as Laugh, Deride, Weep,
"Bemoan, mujl, need, Nscejfitate, &c. And the different notion of thefe
and fuch like Verbs, is not capable of being exprefled by the T ranfeen-
dental point of caufation : but by placing after them fuch a Noun Sub*
ftantive, or Pronoun Subftantive, as may denote the objedt of thofe
feveral adb. So the word Laugh , being put without any Subftantive
following, doth fignifie in the Neuter fenfethe bare aft of Laughing ;
but if the word me or him, &c. doth immediately follow the Verb,
then it is to be rendered deride or laugh at, me, him, &c.
S VI. Befides thof e Concrete $ubftantives, which fignifie the Ent or thing " it felf, there are other Subftantives which denote the Efience of things,
fliled Abfira&s. And thefe may iikewife be diftjnguifhed into, Neuter, A Stive, Pajjive.
That is Ailed Neuter which denotes the naked Eflence of a thiog, without any inclination to A&ion or Paflion, as Deity, Regality.
That is Ailed an Abftrad Attive, which implies a proclivity to Aftion,as Regnativity, Amativenefs, or Amor oufnefs.
That is called Pajjive, which denotes a capacity or fitnefs for re- ceiving or fuffering of A diion, as Regibility , Amiablenejs.
Such Radicals as are Concretes , are capable ( according to the nature of the things denoted by them) to have all thefe three kinds of Ab- ftra&s formed from them. W hereas fuch Radicals, as are themfelves AbJtraSts Neuter, (as namely feveral of thofe under the Genus's and Differences of Quality and AStion) are capable only of the two latter kinds to be formed from them.
§ VII, As Noun Subjlantives are the names which are given to things, con- fidered Amply, and as fubjifting by themfelves : So Noun Adje&ivts are the names which are given to the Adjuntt natures of things, the noti- on of them conflfting in this, that they fignifie, the fubjeft or thing to which they are aferibed, to have in it fbmething belonging to thena* ture or quality of thofe Adjettives, which are predicated of it, or li- mited by it.
And befides this common notion, they do fometicnes Iikewife in the inftituted Languages refer to other notions; as, i. To abostndattce, fo the words populous, pretious, fumptuous, &c. fo in Latin, fiuvists pifeofus, aquoja regio. 2. To likenefs, fo the word dogged, currifh,
wafpifh, Seraphicus, Angelicas, &c. 3. To Poffeffion fo Domus regia,
a royal houfe. 4. To the matter of which any thing doth conlift ; fo feutum aheneum , A brazen (hield. But each of thefe notions may be otherwife more diftin&ly provided for. The two firft by the Tran* fcendental marks of Augmentative and Li be ; and the two next by the prepofitions of Pojfeffor and Material cauje. And fb the true genuine fenfe of a Noun Adje&ive will be fixed to confift in this, that it im- ports this general notion of Pertaining to, or being Affe&ed with.
Thofe Adje&ives are Ailed Neuters which do not denote either A&ionor Paflion; as Calidus, Lneidtfs, Hot, Light.
Thofe are Ailed Attive or Pajjive, which denote the A&ioaor PaP ' fion of the Adjuntt thing or Eflence. And becaufe thefe according to

And as Abftrad Sub(iantive9, may be formed from the Concrete 3 fo likewife may Adjedives, which are al(o diftinguifhable into Neu- ters Adive, Paflive. ?,
That part of fpeech, which by our Common Grammarians is (Hied a Verb y (whether Neuter, Adive or Paflive) ought to have no diftind place ^roongft integrals in a Philolophical Grammar 3 becaufe it is re- ally no other then an Adjedive, and the Copula fum affixed to it or con- teined in it : So Caleo,CalefacioXCalidus. Concerning which Copula ,

C CaUfa&sts. (hall be (aid hereafter.
That kind of word, which is commonly adjoyned to a Verb, to fignifie the quality and affedion of the Action or Paflion, is Ailed an Adverb 3 which may be diAinguilhed into Derived and Vnderived. The former of thefc is here particularly intended, and doth generally belong to Languages. The latter is afterwards treated of amongft the Particles.
As every Radical is fuppofed naturally to have its Adjeffive t Co like- wife its Adverb 3 and though no Language in ufe doth admit of (o general a derivation of Adverbs, yet the true reafbn of this is from their imperfedion and deficiency 3 for the Signs ought always to be adequate unto the things or notions to be figoified by them.
As Adjedives were before diftinguifhed into Neuter, Adive, PaJJive, fo likewife ought Adverbs to be. And as every Adverb isimmediately derived from fome Adjedive, fo every kind of Adjedive hath fome kind of Adverb derived from it.
For the more eafie under (landing of thefe things, I (hall here adjoy u a general Scheme of the fore-mentioned derivations; wherein I (hall be neceffitated to form feveral new words according to common analogy.

H Aving thu9 explained what is meant by integral words, which figoihe entire things and notions, with the feveral kinds of them. I proceed in the next place to treat, concerning Particles , or lefs prin- cipal words, which may be faid to confignifie, ferving to eircumftan- tiateandmodifie thofe Integral words, with which they are joyned, being ’ftiled by the Hebrew Grammarians DiShones.
The words of this kind are exceeding numerous and equivocal in all Languages, and add much tothe difficulty of learning them. It being a very hard matter to eftablifh the juft number, of fuch as in all kinds are neceffary,and to fix to them their proper fignifications, which yet ought to be done in a Philofophical Grammar. I (hall in this Efiay, lei eft out of Inftituted Languages, fuch of the feveralforts, as Icon* ceive fufficient for this purpofe.
Thefe were before diftinguifhed, into fuch as refer, either to Gram- matical, or Tranfcendental notion.
Thofe are ftiled Grammatical , which fuppofing words to retain their primary fenfe, do ferve for the circumftantiating of them, either by union, abbreviation, inflexion, or feme other way forthequali* tying of their fignifications or conftruftions;
The moft neceffery amongft all the reft, which is efiential and per- petual in every compleat fentence, is ftiled the Copula 5 which ferves Tor the uniting of the Subjeft and Predicate in every Propofition. The word SubjeS i ufe, as the Logicians do>, for all. that which goes before the Copula $ which if it confift of only one word, then it is the fame which Grammarians call the Nominative cafe. By the word Predicate , I mean likewife all that which follows the Copula in the feme fentence, whereof the Adjeftivc(if any fuch there be)immediately next after the Copula, is commonly incorporated with it in inftituted Languages, and both together make up that which Grammarians call a. Verb.

2. Offeree Sentence or complex part of it, as Interjections.

fent to our thoughts the perfon (peaking, fuppofe John 5 and the words thee, him, the perfon fpokcq to or of, luppofe William or Thomas.
2. Mediately by their names, which are either
1. Exprefi with the Pronoun^ ascommonly it happens upon the firft intimation or mention of the thing '■> as this ox that man *or book, and in thefe cafes the Pronouns are commonly called Demonjlrative.
2. Supplied by the Pronouns , as is ufual for Brevities fake, at the re- peating. of the mention of a thing lately before fpokenof; as he , it,’
&c. and then the Pronoun is called Relative. Examples of both forts are to be had in the Grammars of Inftituted Languages.
More commodioufly for our purpofe, the Pronouns are to be con- lidered either according to their, 1. Number. 2. Modifications.
. 1. As to their Number $ there arc twelve which may be .(tiled fimfle Pronouns, and three other that are Compound.
The Simple Pronouns, for the better convenience of and comply- ance with the Characters, are reduced into thefe three combinations 5 whereof the firft and laft combinations are (ingle, the other double.

Of all which it is to be obferved, that they are in fome kind or

makes the vybole Propofition, or at leaft that part of the Propofition,
which is affefted with it, according to its own nature, to be either Sin* *
gular, Indefinite, Particular or Univerfal.
2. The Modifications of Pronouns, whereby thty are varied into differentfignifications, are of two kinds.
1. Pojfejfive, denoting a relation of Propriety or Pofieffion unto the ' perfon or thing lpoken of, which is applicable to all Pronouns, as I, Mine 5 Who, Whofe, efre.
9. Reduplicative , denoting a particular Emphafis, whereby a word is railed and intended in its fignification 5 as I my felf. Thou thy felf ,&c.
MoreoVer it is to he obferv'd, that the Perfonal Pronouns, and any of the reft being us*d Subftantively, are capable of Number and Cafe 5 and that all other Pronouns befidethe.Perfonal, are capable of Com- pofition with the Tranfeendentals of Perfon and Thing, of Place, Time and Manner.

Of Aduerbs derived from Integrals, enough hath been laid in the Chapter of Integrals. The reft of thofe words which are commonly called Adverbs, according to their true Original, are either derived . from * Pronouns , or elfe they are b Modes of Verbs, or elfe they are

So that according to the true Philofephy of fpeech, I can- not conceive this kind of words to be properly a diftind part of fpeech, as they are commonly called. £ut until they can be diftri- buted into their proper places, I have fo far complyed with the Gram- mars of inftituted Languages, as to place them here together, and to branch them under the five following Combinations.

Each of which are in feme Langua- ges taken in, or involved in the inflexion of words : But in others,
they are provided for by diftinft words to exprels them.
Articles are ufeally prefixed before Subftantives for the more full and diftinft exprelfion of them, they may be diftinguilhed into
Enuntiative , which may be ufed indifferently before any Subftan- tire, not already pofieft with the Demonftrative. A. An.

Though thefe be not abfolutely necejfary to a Language, becaufe the Latin is without them 3 yet are they lo convenient for the greater di- ftindnels of fpeech, that upon this account, both the Hebrew , Greeks, Slavonic and moft other Languages have them*
To Ihew in what manner the fubjeft is to be joyned with his Predi- cate, the Copula between them is affeded with a Particle, which from ^ H. the ufe of it, is called Modus , the Manner or Mode.
Now the Subject and Predicate may be joyned together either Sim- pip , or with feme kind of Limitation , and accordingly thefe Modes are either Primary or Secondary.
The Primary' Modes are called by Grammarians Indicative , and Im- perative.
When the Matter is declared to be fe, or at leaft when it feems in the lpeakers power to have it be fe, as the bare union of Subject and Predicate would import 3 then the Copula is nakedly exprefled without any variation : And this manner of expreffingit,is called the Indica- tive Mode.
When it is neither declared to be fe, nor feems to be immediatly in the fpeakerspower to have itfo 3 then he can do no more in words but » make out the exprelfion of his will to him that hath the thing in

ner of thefe affedtirtg the Copula (Be it fo, or fine efe, let itbefo) is called the Imperative Mode * of which there are thefe three varieties, very fit to be diftindly provided for. As for that other ufeof the Imperative Mode , when it figoifies Permifjion t, this may be fufficiently exprefled by the Secondary Mode of Liberty. You may do it.
The Secondary Modes are fuch, as when the Copula is affe&ed with any of them, make the fentcnce to be (as Logicians call it) a Modal Proportion.
This happens when the Matter in difeourfe, namely, the being or doing or differing of a thing, is confidered not fimply . by it Jelf, but gradually in its caufes from which it proceeds either Contingently or No ceffarily.
Then a thing feems to be left as Contingent , when the fpeakerex- prefles only the Poffibility of it, or his own Liberty to it.
1. The Fojjibility of a thing depends upon the power of its caufe,
and may be exprefled when ^conditional ^ b ? tbe Particle |’ COVLD.
2 . The Liberty of a thing, depends upon a freedom from all Obfta* cles either within or without, and is ufoally exprefled in our Lan- guage, ^hen^oSional ] b 7 the Part,cle jjtf JG HT.

That kind of fervile Particle which doth belong both to thelnte-
gral and the Copula, is ftiled Tenfe. . . ^
Tho Tenfesin inftituted Languages are appreciated oniy to^r^/, yet ’tis very plain that according to the true Philofophy of. ipeccbg they (hould likewife be aferibed to Subfiantives 5 And that this would in many refpefts be a great advantage to Language. As there is Ama- tie, fo there lhofuld be Amavitio and Antaturitio, &c.
Thefe kind of Auxiliary Particles, ftiled Modes and Tenfe s, are m the Modern Languages exprefled by fuch fervile fignifie any compleat Ad, but rather fome refpefts and circumflaacc* belonging to other A&s* and by that meansjiave id them a natural fitnefs tobefubfervienttothe inflexion of other Integral words.

But the moft diftinft and explicit way of exprefling any Propofiti- on, is by affixing thefe Tenfes, both to the Copula, and the Predicate •, the latter of which will fhew the time of the Aftion, &c. whether pa ft, prefent,or future: and the former, the ftateof thePerfonor Subjeft, who doth this A&i- j ’Has been, .

T Hofe Particles are here ftiled Tranfcendental which do circum- ft antiate words in relpeft of fome Metapbyfical notion ; either by enlarging the acception of them to fome more general fignification, then doth belong to the reft rained fenfe of their places : or denoting a relation to (ome other Predicament or Genus, under which they are not originally placed.
Whereas in a Philolbphical Language,, every word ought in ftrift- nefs to have but one proper fenfe and acception, to prevent equivo- calnefs 5 which fenfe is to be reftrained according to that place and relation, which the words have in the Tables: And yet on the other fide, it would much promote copioufnels and elegancy, if there might be any way (o to change and vary the fenfe of any word, as may with all, leave it free from ambiguity. For this pur pole, aslikewife for the Abbreviating of Language are thefe Tranfcendental notes fuggefted.
There are two ways ufed in Inftituted Languages, fpecially in La- tin for varying the leBfe of words $ either by Tropes: or by fuch a kind of Compofttion as doth alter the terminations of them.
t. The fenfe of a word is varyed by Trope 5 either in refpeft of fome
r Agreement and convenience , which it hath with the word for which it is ufed 5 whether more r General $ as in Metaphor:
(Specials when the

Of all which there are ftore of examples in the common books of Rhetorick ; And there will be occafion to cite feveral of them in the following Chapter, amongfl the inftances that are given of the Tranicendental Particles.
Words are varied by changing their Terminations many ways 5 of which thefe that follow are fome of the Principal in the Latin.
1. Preparatives or Meditatives 5 are exprefled by the Termination (urio) Scripturio, Efurio, Parturio, MiQurio.

11. The notions of Officer, and Tradefmam, whether Merchant or Mechanic^ promifeuoufly, are commonly exprefled by the termina- tion ( arius ) which doth originally and properly iignifie the notion of belonging to, but is thus limited by reafbn of the words, officiarivs, Mercator, Faber , underflood.
Api arius, Armentarius, Caprarius, Equarius, Jccipitarius, Librari - us,8c c.
Lanarrus, Lin arius, Pijc arius, Aviarius, Pomarius, L a & arius, &c.
Arcuarius, Armament arius, Aur arius, Doliarius, 8cc.

T HE next thing to be treated of, is concerning the Accidental Differences of words $ and amongft thefe
•
» i. Concerningthe Inflexion of them, whichdoth confift in the fe
' * veral ways of varying the lame word to fundry modes of fignificati-
on. This is not arbitrary, as it Is ufed in feveral Language j much lefi ftould the rules to this purpofe, which belong to the Latina be ap- plied to Vulgar Tongues, to which they are not fuitdd (as many Grammarians ufe to do) but it ohgty to be founded upon the Philo- iophy of fpeech andfuch natural grounds, as do neceflarily. belong to Language.
Integral words are all capable of Inflexion.
- I. Noun Subfiantives are inflcftcd in a threefold rdpe&.
By Number , Siugural and Plural, which being more Intrinfecal to them, ought to be provided for in the Chara&er or word it felf^ and not by an Affix.
2. By Gender, in things that are capable of Sex, which are naturally but two, AdafcuUne and Feminine: Thefe being lefi Intrinficaltothe primary notion of the word, may be more properly exprefied by af- fixes j and then the kind or fpCcics 6f every Animal (abftradcdly from the relpcftive Sexes of it) may be fignifyed by the Radical word it felf, without any fign of Sex, which will prevent much equivocalnefi.
3. By Cafes, which is not lo elTential add natural to Subfiantives, as to be provided for in the word it felf, by .varying the Terminations of it 5 For though* this courfe hath been ufed in the Greek, and Latin : yet neither do the Oriental' Tongues, Hebrew , Chaldee, Arabic, & c. nor thole Occidental of French, Italian, spanijb $ nor I think doth any Modern Tongue in the world this way exprefi them.
The true notion of the Nominative Cafe, is that which precedes the . Verb, and the Aceufative , that which follows the Verb 5 of which in Ipeechthatisfuiteato natural Stru&ureand Syntax, there ought to be no other fign or note then the very order. As for the Genitive Cafe, the proper notion of that, is its following another Subftantive in rtgimiut : But becaufethe following Subfiantive is not always go- verned by that which precedes. $ as Vrbs Roma, Rhenus Flavius, Taxus , arbor, &c. therefore *tis proper to have a Particle or Prepolition for It , as our Englife ( 'of ) and (De) in the French, Italian, spanijb, which was treated of before. The Dative Cafe is exprefied by the Prepofi- tion (Tci) the Vocative by the Interjection of befpeaking (O) and the Ablative Cafe by Inch a Prepolition as denotes Formal or Inftrumental caufe, or manner of Doing. So that the true notion of the Genitive, Dative, Ablative Cafe, is nothing elfe but that obliquity in the fence of a Subftantive, which is caufed and fignifyed by.fome Prepolition an- nexed to it, as the Vocative is by an Inter jeCUon.
And
Chap. VIII. Concerning Natural (grammar. 35$
And befides thefe three ways of Inflexion, I have (hewed before how Subftantives are capable likewife of Active and Pajjive voice, and of Tenfes.
Noun Adjectives need not have any note to exprefs Number, Gen- der, Cafe, becaufe in all thefe they agree with their Subftantives 5 unlefs fuch AdjeXives as are ufed Subftantively, by reafon of their compofttion with the Tranfcendental marks of Ferfois , Thing, Time,
Place , &c. In which cafe they have the feme kinds of Inflexion with Subftantives. But there is belonging to them,
1. A tranfverfe Inflexion by degrees of Comparifon , which may be beft denoted by the ; extrinfical affixes of more , mofl 5 lefs, leafit.
3. An Inflexion by Voice Active and Pajjive, which makes them of the fame nature with thole. words which we call Participles.
3. An Inflexion by Tenfes. And though ufually in the Latin there are but two Tenfes, viz. Prefent and Future, in each voice of the Participle, Amans, Legens : Amaturus, Lett urns : Amatsss, Led us :
. Amandus , Legendus : excepting in (bme few words. Sequent',' Sequu- tus, Sequuturus 3 Gaudens , Gavijus, Gavifurus : and of Ccenatum , which is ufed promifeuoufly both AXLvely and Paflively 3 yet this is a defeX in the Latin Tongue : For the natural notion doth render ' Participles as well capable of the Prefer Tenfe 3 and accordingly the >
Greeks have rW\«tv, TtrvfySf, tJ 4 w, fc mvwty&j : He-
that beats, he that hath beaten, he that will beat 3 he that is beaten, he that hath been beaten, he that will be beaten. The like would have been in -Latin, if the Philofophy of Speech had been as well obferved in the Inftitution of that Language.
Derived Adverbs are capable of Inflexion by degrees of Comparifon. Amongft the Particles, there are only tvvo that are capable of In- flexion 3 viz. the Copula, and Pronouns.
The Copuldis infleXed by Mode and by Tenfe 3 which I have fuffici- chap. 5, ently explained before : Only *tis here to be noted, that befides thofe definite notions of time paft, prefent, and to cdme, there is likewife „ Tempus Aorifiicum, or indefinite time 3 and that whenever the Copula is ufed in materia, neceffaria , it ought to be under flood as being inde- terminate to any of thofe differences of time. So for fuch fayings.
Homo efi animal. Dens vivit , 8tc. there is no kind of time, whether paft, prefent, or future,, wherein thefe fayings are .not equally true 3 lb that the fenfe of fuch fayings is eji, fuit , erit 5 Vivit, vixit, vivet.
And therefore it would be convenient to make feme diftinXion for exprefling this indefinite time.
Pronoun Substantives are infleXed by Number and Gender, and by Cafe, as Noun Subftantives p re 3 befides that kind of improper Inflexi- on, whereby they are made Pofiejjives 3 which is rather a kind of Deri- vation, and reduplicative , which confifts only in the doubling of them for the greater Empbajis.
The other Particles are not capable of Inflexion, becaufe they , do not denote any Efience or Att, which is capable of feveral modes or re- fpeXs, as Integral$,and two of the Particles do : but only the Circum - fiances or Modifications of other words S and therefore may be ftifed * indeclinable or invariable.
X t As

Concerning Natural grammar. Part IIL
S II. As to Derivation , there ought naturally to be but one kind of Root,
S from which the feveral differences of Integrals fhould be derived 5 and
this fhould be a Noun Subjlantive which fignifies the Thing , or the Ejjence. If it be a Noun Subftantive Neuter ,• then the firft branches of ' it are Subftantives A&ive and Pajjwe * after which fucceed the Adje- ctives belonging to each of them, and then the Adverbs , which denote the Quality or Manner of being or doing. All which belong to one branch. Another branch is the Subftantives Abffra& , which have Chap.I. the fame kind of derivations from them, as the former; as is more § XI. diftin&ly explained before.
As to the laft accidental difference of words, viz. Compofition. Tis
to be noted, that the words of .a Philofophical Language fhould be
fo futed unto natural notions , that there fhould be little need of
other compofitions, betides thofe by Prepojitions, Adverbs, and Tran-
fcendental Particles. But if this were defired for greater elegance,
and copioufnefs of Speech, it fhould be capable of any compofitioo
•whatfoever, which may be fignified in writing by fome Hyphen or
mark of Union, to joyn the words compounded 5 and in Speech by
pronouncing them together as one word, without changing the na-
ture of either. So the word idolatry is tdol-worjbip , &c.
CHAP. IX.
Of the fecond part of Grammar called Syntax.
A S the Hr ft part of Grammar doth treat, concerning the nature and differences of particular words : So the fecond part of Grammar fliled Syntax, doth concern the proper way of Union or right Conftruftion of words, into PropoHtions, or continued Speech. And this* may. be diftinguifhed into two kiods. 1. That which is Cujiomary and figurative : or 2. That which is Natural and regular.
1. That ftru&ure may be ftiled Cuflomary and figurative, which is ufed in the Phrafeologies or forms of Speech, peculiar to feveral Lan- guages, wherein words are put together according to a Metaphorical and tralatitious fenfe of them , as in thofe Latin Phrafes, Redigere in ordinetn , which fignifies, Privare vsagijlratu ; E medio toller e , for 0c- cidere.

a. That Arudure may be called Regular f which is according to the natural fenfe and order of the words.
The General Rule for this order amongft Integrals is. That which governs (hould precede 5 The Nominative Cafe before the Verb, and the Accufative after 5 The Subftantive before the Adje&ive : Only Adjedive Pronouns being Particles and affixed, may without incon- venience be put indifferently either before of after. Derived Adverbs (hould follow that which is called the Verb, as denoting the quality or manner of the Ad.
As for the Grammatical Particles, thofe which ferve for the Infle- xion dr Cqmpofition of words Ibould naturally precede 5 and fo like- wile (hould other Adverbs, and Prepolitions.
Tranfcendental Particles are to be joyned in composition at the ends of words, to vary their termination.
Befides the order required in Syntax, Ibmething ought to be fob- joyned concerning the Quantity of Vowels or Syllables, together with the feveral diftin&ions or interpunHions to be obferved betwixt words and fentences.
As for that part ufoally treated of in inAituted Grammars, Ailed Frofodia , concerning the quantity of* Vowels, there needs not any thing to be laid unto that here; 5 becaufe in a Philolbphical Language every Vowel is fuppofed to be in the writing fofficiently diftinguilhed in this refped 5 every long Vowel having a note or mark to lignifie its prolation.
The exprelfing of any one fy liable in a word, with a little higher tune , and longer time then others, is to be expreft by aR accent 3 as in the words. Consent, Contrive, Compose, Having, Wildom, For- tune, Prdfit, Parentage, Privilege, Consider, Determine, &c.
The diAindions to be obferved betwlkt words and fenteoces, may refer either to 1. The time 3 or 3. The manner of pronouncing.
1. The foil concerns thofe Paufes or intervals of reft to be ob- ferved in Pronouncing, which were anciently diftinguilhed into three kinds 3 namely, Comma, Colon , Period. The firft of thefe being marked with a point by the middle of the Letter 3 The fecond at the cop ; The laft at the bottom. Unto thefe,' later times have %dded two others 3 namely, a mark to lignifie fomethmg intermediate be- twixt Comma and Colon, Ailed Semicolon $ and Ibmething more then a full point , which is ufoally expreA by a greater diftance betwixt the words, or by a Breach in the line.
The ufe of thefe Points is to dired what kind of paufe is to be ob- ferved, and how the tenor or tone of the voice is either to be conti- nued or to fall.

Of Vowels.
T Hofe Letters are called Vocales, Vowels, in pronouncing of which by the Inftruments of Speech, the breath is freely emitted 5 and they are therefore ftiled Apert or open Letters. Thefe may be dijlin- guijbed either, 1 .Formally, by their feveral A pert ions, and the man- ner of configuration in the inftruments of Speech required to the fra- 1 mingof them, which eonftitutes the diftinft fpecies of Vowels 5 or 3. Accidentally, by the quantity of time required to their prolation, by which the fame Vowel is made either long or Jhort. .
There are (I conceive^ eight fimple different fpecies of Vowels, eafily diftinguifhable, whofe powers are commonly ufed. I cannot deny, but that fome other intermediate founds might be found $ but they would, by reafon of their proximity to thole others, prove of fo difficult diftindion, as would rendef them ufelefs ", thefe eight feem- ing to be the principal and moft remarkable periods, amongff the de- grees of Apert founds.
As for the third of the Labials , the u Gallicnm , or whirling *, though it cannot be denied to be a diftinft fimple vowel jyet it is of fo laborious and difficult pronunciation to all thofe Nations amongff whom it is not ufed (as to the Englifh) efpecially in the diffinff ion of long and fhort, and framing of Dipthongs, that though lhave enumerated it with the reff, and (hall make provifion for the expreffion of it, yet (hall I make lefsufe ofit, than of the others 5 and for that reafon, not proceed to any further explication of it.
It will be difficult to exprefs the feveral powers ofthefe Vowels by writing 5 Pronuntiation being fuch a thing, qua necjcribrtur, nec pin- * re g, git nr, nec hanrjri earn fas eft , nip vivU voce. And therefore the beft Prommtiatimt way for the explaining of them, is by fuch known words as may be 1 " ut% caf '*' given for the inftance of each of them. * And as for the figure or wri- ting of thofe four, which are not commonly effeemed to be diftinft fpecies of Vowels, I (hall make choice to reprefent them by fach Cha- racters, as may feem leaff ffrange.

Amongft thefe, the Vowels not commonly owned by us in writing,
are thefe four, a. i.s. y. But that they are diftinft fpeciesof Vowels,
and have peculiar powers of their own, not expreffible by any other
Letters,(fuppofing every Lctjer(asit ought) to be determined to one
particular found) may fiifficiently appear from the above mentioned,
and fevcral other Inftances. And that thole two which are common-
ly ufed with us for diftinft Vowels 5 namely, the third and the fifth, j,
and £ 7 ; as in the words Light, Lute , are not fimple Vowals, but Dip-
thongs, I (ball (hew afterwards.
Though the Vowel (0) do not admit of any inftance in our Lan- guage, wherein it is ufed fieri, nor the Vowel (y) wherein it is ufed Long 5 yet there are naturally fuch differences oftdefe Vowels, as well as ofthe red. Suppofe a long Vowel to be divided into two parts ; as Bo-ote , pronounce it then with half the time, and it muff make the fhort Vowel Bott. And thus on the contrary, doubling the time of a (hort Vowel* as By-yt, will render it Long: which may ferve to ex- plain how thefe Vowels naturally are capable of being made bothloog and fhort ; Though by reafbn of general difufe amongft us, fuch diffe- rences would at firft feem fomewhat difficult, and not eafilydiftin- guifhable.
The Vowel (cc) is placed firft * partly partly in conformity with other Alphabets, and becaufe *tis the moft Apert amongft the Lingua- palatal Vowels. *Tis exprefled by this Charafter, becaufe being one of the Greeks Letters, 'tis more commonly known. ‘Tit framed by an emiffion of the Breath, betwixt the Tongue and the Palate^ the tongue being put into a more concave pofture, and removed further off from the palate.
The Vowel (4) is framed by an emiffion of the Breath, betwixt the tongue and the concave of the palate^ the upper fuperficies of the tongue being rendered left concave, and at a left diftance from the par late.
The Vowel C e ) * s framed by an emiffion of the Breath, betwixt the tongue and the concave of the palate, the upper fuperficies ofthe tongue being brought toJome fmall degree of convexity.
The Vowel (i) is exprefled by this Charafter., becaufe ’tis the moft fimple figure , and therefore doth beft fnit with the rnofc acute Letter $ as likewife, becaufe this Letter, amongft many other Nations is alrea- dy ufed and pronounced according to the found which- is here intend- ed. *Tis framed by an emiffion of the Breath betwixt the tongue and the concave of the palate, the upper fuperficies ofthe tongue being put into a more convex pofture, and thruft up near the palate.
The Vowel (p) is the firft, and moft apert ofthe Labials 5 being fra- med by an emiffion of the Breath, betwixt the Lips, a little drawn to- gether and contraded.
The V owel (*) is the fecond of th c Labials, requiring a greater con- traction of the Lips. ’Tis exprefled by this Charafter, which is ufed in Greek for »u Dipthong , becaufe commonly that Dipthong, asalfothe French on is pronounced in the found of this fimple Vowel.
The Vowel (y) is wholly Guttural , being anemifljpp of the breath from the throat, without any particular motion ofthe tongue or lips/

The difference betwixt long and fhort Vowels, fhould alwaiesbe written well as pronounced, that is, there fhould befomeNote or Mark to exprefs when a Vowel is to be ufed long.
Thefe eight Letters before enumerated, I conceive to be fo many diftindt fpecies of Vowels, formally different in refpeft of their Powers 5 and though I cannot at present think of any other belide> , yet having formerly, upon new confederations, and fuggeftions, lo often changed my thoughts upon this enquiry, 1 dare not be dogmatical about it, or aflert confidently, that there neither are, nor can be any more: For who knows how many other minute differences of Apertion may be now tiled, or hereafter found out, by others, which pra&ife ana cuftom may make as eafie and diftinguifhable to them, as thefe are to us ? Be- fides that the meafurc of Apertion (as is well obferved ) muft be like continued quantity, divifibilis in infinitum. Only this (I think) may befafely affirmed, that the eftablifhment of Vowels here mentioned, will ferve much better to exprefs all articulate founds, than can be done by any of the ordinary Alphabets now in ufe.
I cannot but animadvert here on the by, upon that Argument which Capellus, and others do much infill: upon, againfi: the Antiquity Miyutate ofthe Hebrew Points, or Vowels 5 Becaufe (fay they) the making of fo F * tnm> many, is an injudicious, and irrational invention, for which there is no real ground 5 there being in nature, and amongft other Languages, but five aiftinft Vowels, and not fourteen : And therefore they conclude the Invention of them to be new, and not of any great Antiqui- ty*
- To fpeak freely in this cafe (without ioterpofing as to the main (fate of the Qjjeftion) ThisReafon doth not feem to be of any force.
Though the Condufion they infer fhould be true, yet k this Argument urged for it, \sfalfe , both as to the Confequence , and Antecedent . The ImperfeBions and Defeds of any Invention, do rather argue the Anti- quity ^ than the Novelty of it 5 there being much time and experience required to the perfe&ing any invention : And it would rather fol-
low, that becaufe they are imperfe 3 } therefore are they more like to be Ancient. But befiaes, the Hebrew Vowels will upon confiderati- on, be found to be a contrivance full of more than ordinary Accurate- nefs, founded upon the Philofophy of Articulate founds, and may without any force be applied to the number here eftablithed : Except' bg the French (u).

will not of themfel ves coalefce, therefore is Schwab interpofed, which
being rapidly pronounced (and that probably as Our fhort y) does not
feem to make any diftinft Syllable.
So that it feems much more colourable to infer the Novelty of the Hebrew Points, from the Accuratenefs , than from the injudicioufhcfs of their contrivance.

Of Confonants.
T Hofe Letters are filled Confonants, in the pronouncing of which the Breath is intercepted, by fome Collifion or Clofure,amongft the Inftruments of Speech: And for this reafon are they ftiled Clauf* Liter* , as the Vowels are Apert*,
The common diltinftion of thefe into Semi-vowels and Mutes , will not upon a ftritt enquiry be adequate. And therefore I do rather chufe to diftribute them into thefe three kinds $ i.Trii/p« 7 «'/a, Spiritous, or Breathed.

the) Mouth.
1. The Confonants which are to be breathed only through the Nofe, may be again diftin* J 1. Sonorous, as M. N. Ng. guifhed into) 2. Mute, as hm. hn. hng.
Both thefe kinds, as like wife thole that follow through the Mouth, have fome imperfeft found of their own, without the joyning of any Vowel with them 5 though the fonorous only be Vocals and the mute fort are only a kind of Whifpen
By Sonorous , are meant, fuch as require fome voice or vocal found, to the framing of them.
By the Mutes of thefe, are meant other Letters of the fame confi- guration, pronounced with a firing emiffion of the Breath, without any Vocal found.
(m) is mugitus , the natural found of Lowing. , when the Lips are fhut, and the found proceeds out of the Nofe. Tis counted of dif- ficult pronunciation in the end of words : For which reafon, the La- tin Poets cut it off in Verfe, when it comes before a Vowel in the next words .* And the Greeks do not terminate any word with it.
(N ) is limit vs ^ when the breath is fent out, the Limbus of the Tongue being fixed towards the Gums, or bottom of the jipper Fore- teeth. In the pronouncing of this, the breath is emitted only out of the Nofe, which makes it differ from (I*). Tis counted a pleafantand

eaGe Letter, which may perhaps be the reafon why this Letter N, and I, and R, are for the moft part, both in Greeks and Latin immutable , both in Declenfions and Conjugations.
(Ng) is framed by an appulfe of the Root of the Tongue towards the inner part of thePalat. The found of it may be continued Gmple, as well as any other 5 which makes it evident to be a Gngle letter, and not a compound of n, and g, as we uGially write it : Thus the word Anguis, in the true fpelling of it, (houldbewrit A, ng, G, », 1, s. The Hebrew? isfuppofedby divers Authors, but I think gronndlefly, to be of this power., 1 know (everal things may b&faid, to render it pro* bltble, that the power here intended, may be fumciently exprefied, by a more loft and (light manner of pronouncing the letters N Sc G com- pounded together : But I rather incline to reckon it a Gmple and di- ftinft Letter.
To the Sonorous letters of this kind, there are three Mutes of affini- ty, bm i bn i bug $ which are formed when the breath is emitted through the Inftruments of Speech, in the fame poGtion refpe&ively as in the former, but without any Vocal Sound.

fV 3 is the feme with that which we call V Confonant : ’Tis of the fame power which is commonly aferibed to B ajperated , or ^rather in- craffatcd. So the Weftern Jews pronounce |heir Letter (2) when not Dagefhated. And 'tis obferved that in Ancient Monuments amongft the Latins, thefe two Letters have been often put for one another :
And that in fome words, where the fenfe hath been very much varied Seaiiierdt by this change 5 fo Acerbus for Acervus : Veneficium for Beneficiutn.f L - The power of this Letter was Grft expreffed among the Latins by the caf ‘ 1 * Digamma ALolicum, ( f) ('fo ftiled for its Figure , not its £***d)which
is now the Charatter for the Letter fF) but had at Grft the power of the Confonant vV) and was written in Claudius his time invertedly, as DliAI, AMPLIAdlT. This Letter is framed by a kind of draining i
or percolation ofthe Breath, through a Chink between the lower lip C ’ I5# and upper teeth, with fome kind of Mnrtnure.
(F) is the correfpondent Mute to this : ’Tis framed by the feme kind of poGtion of the Lip and Teeth, and percolation of the Breath betwixt them, with this only difference, that as the former was with fome kind of Vocal Sound, io this is wholly mute. This feems to be luch an incraffation of the Letter f P) as (V) is of (B). ’Tis anfwera- ble to the Greek (*). And though fevcral ofthe Greek words with (♦) arerendred in Latin by Ph, as Philojbpbia , Sophijla , 8c c. yet the Ita- lians write Filofofo, Sofifla, 8tc. and fome other words are forendred^. in Latin, asevy«,fuga, eip*>fama.

(ph) and its correfpondent Mute (Th} are of that power which
we commonly afcribe to the Letters D, & T, afpirated or incriffated.
And though thefe two Powers are commonly ufed by us without any
provifion for them by difttoft Chara&ers, yet our Anceftors the Sax-
ons had feveral Letters to exprefs them. They reprefented (Dh) by
this mark C&Jas in Fa^e^Mo^er^e^at-^en : And (Th) by this
mark (p ) as j> eif ,p ick, faip . And *tis moft evident that the (bunds of
them (though we ufually confound them, under the fame manner of

Thefe Letters are framed by a percolation of the Breath through a kind of Chink betwixt the tongue and upper teeth, the firft with fome kind of vocal found, the other wholly mute.
( [Gh ) and its Correfpondent (Ch) are both of them framed by a vi- bration of the root or middle of the tongue againft the Palate, the for- mer being vocal , and the other mute. They are each of them ofdiffi-. cult pronuntiation : The firft is now ufed by the Irifh, and was per- haps heretofore intended by the fpelling of thofe Engl ifh words. Right > Light , Daughter , Enough 9 Thorough, &c. Though this kind of found be now by difufe loft amongft us, the latter of them (Ch) is now ufed amongft the Wefth, and was perhaps heretofore intended by the Greek Letter (x.) Neither of them iseafily iraitable by any mouth not trained up to the prattife of them.

C or (bL) the correfpondent Mute to this, is much ufed by the Welch : They feem to form it as the other (L) only by abftaiaing the voice, and a more forcible emifiion of the Breath, as is ufed in all other mute letters of the Spiritous kind.
09 is Stridor veljitfurrus : Tis called from the (barling of Dogs, Litera Canina : ’Tis made by a quick trepidation of the tip of the tongue being vibrated againft the palate , for which, they who are difabled, by reafon of the natural infirmity of their tongues, which is called t Balbuties , do commonly pronounce in ftead of it, the letter (L) which is of a more (oft and eafie (bund. Demejlhenes^ Alcibiades i Arijlotle , Scaliger i the Fathers, are (aid to have laboured under this Infirmity.
( LLh ) or (hR) the correfpondent mute tothis, is made by a forcible emiffion of the breath, through the inftruments of Speech in the (ame pofition as (or the Letter (A) but without any vocal (bund. *Ti 9 the fame with the Greek ( p ) ana much in ufe amongft the Weljb.

(Z) is by fome ftile d («?) molle. *Tis properly the Greek. ( ( ) and the Hebrew ( 1 ). ’Tis framed by an appulfe of the tongue towards the upper Teeth or Gums, and then forcing out the breath from be* twixt the tongue and the upper teeth, with a vocal found, which makes a mqre denfe kind of biffing, mixed with fome kirid of a nurntur, apuntq--, fufurro perjimilem : ’Tis of the fame affinity with S, as B with P,
D with T, and G with C. That double Letterdn the Hebrew ('*) which is by fome accounted equivolent to this, is of a quite different power, as were ea fie to ill uft rate by fever al examples.
(s j the eorrefpondent mute (though it be commonly reckoned for afemivowel) is framed as the former, but without any vocal found.
’Tis fliled Sibilus. The power of it is the natural found of Hiffing 5 for which reafon ’tis called Liter a Serpentina. The Hebrews have two Characters for this Letter, befides two others for its Allies. Among the Perfians all words that ftgnifie Grandeur and Magnificence, are laid to be terminated with it : Though others condemn it for a harfh, un- pleafingj quarelliog Letter. JHeff'ala Corvinus , a great man, and a famous Orator among the Romans, is faid to have writ a particular Treatife againft this Letter, much efteemed of amongft learned men.
And Pindar likewife writ an Ode againft it, verfita ddym, wherein there was no word that had any s in it. The difability of pronouncing this Letter, is called BLefttas, Lifping, when ’tis corruptly founded like (tb).
(Zb) the fonorous Confonant, and (sh) its eorrefpondent mute, are framed by a percolation of the breath, betwixt the tongue ren- dered concave, and the teeth both upper and lower : Thefirft being vocal, the other mute. Though they are not provided for common- ly by diftinft and fimple Characters, yet are they diftinft and fimple letters; both of them facil and common: The firft amongftthe French, who exprefs it by I, as in the word lean, 8tc. and is eafily imitable by us : And though the other did once coft 42000 men /« ufr, &
their lives, for not being able to pronounce it, yet is it of common ufe with many Nations.
2. By Scmifpiritotts or half breathed Confonants, are meant fuch as are accompanied with fome kind of vocal murmure, as B, D, G. whereas
3. Thofe are ftiled non-jpiritous or breathlefs, which are wholly mute 5 as, P,T, C. v
(£ and P) are framed when the breath is intercepted by the clofure of the Lips * the firft of them being more Toft, with fome kind of murmure, the other more hard and wholly mute.
(D and T) are commonly framed, by an appulfe or tollifion ofthe top of the tongue againft the teeth, or upper gums ; the firft being more foft and gentle, with fome kind of murmure, the other wholly mute.
(G and C) are framed more inwardly, by an interception ofthe breath towards the throat, by the ‘middle or root of the toogue, with fuch a kind of difference between them, as there is betwixt the two former pairs.

Of Compound Letters , whether Vowels , Confonants,
B Elides theft H tuple Letters before enumerated, there are others commonly ufed, which may bee Vowels.
(tiled Compound, both) Confonants.
The Compound Vowels are called commonly Dipt bongs, or Trip- thongs , or BiJSona in Latin ) but becaufe the Unification of thoft words tnay as well agree with double Confonants, therefore others would have them (tiled Bruocales , or Trivocales. Jacobno Matthias io his Treatife de Liters* , and our learned Gatakfr, in a particular Difcourfe to this purpofe, do carneftly contend that there are no (ueh things as Dipthongs. Their principal Arguments depend upon this Suppofiti- on. That (i and ») (which are neceffary Ingredients to the framing of all ufual Dipthongs) are Confonants, theftme withy and w. Others would have them to be of a middle nature, betwixt Vowels and Con- fonants) according to which Opinion I have already delcribed them : F rom whence the BLeafon is clear, why theft Vowels concur to the ma- king of Dipthongs, becauft being the moft contrast ofV owels(as is alfo the Vowel fy) of which more hereafter.) They do therefore approach very near to the nature of Liter* clanJk 3 or Confonants ) there being no Tranfition anmngft theft, either from one another,or to the other inter* mediate founds, without foch a kind of motion amongft the Inftruments of fpeech, by reafon of theft different Apertion* , as doth fomewhat re- ferable that kind of Coilifion required to the framing of Coofo- nants.
Several Languages ufc fcveral kinds of theft Dipthong9, bur how many there are in nature, may be eafily collefted by the former divi. fion of Vowels (fuppofing that to be according to nature) One of thei e two Vowels i or * muft be an ingredient into all ufiial Dipthongs, ei.
i. Theft Vowels i and> may be prepofid in this mixture before each of the other ) in which cafe they will have the feme power that we commonly aferibe to y and w, and will frame theft twelve Dip- thongs.

As for the other intermediate Vowels being prepoted before ond
another, they will not afford any coalefcing founds that are eafily
diftinguifbable. E being prepofed before <*, a, o,y, will fcarce be di-
ftinguifhed from i«, ia, 10, <y. A, before E, will be but as a, before
- , o, u, it will not coalefce into a plain found. The lame likewife
may belaid of the other Vowels, a, o. So that of this kind the whole number is twenty four. And this I conceive to be*a fufficient enume- ration of the natural Dipthongs.
I cannot deny but that other Diptbongs may be made by the mix- ture of the Vowel (y) which were perhaps inufc amongft the Jews, . and expreft by (y) But being now, as I think, generally diluted amongft other Nations, and for that reafon very difficult to be pronounced, 1 (hall not therefore take any further notice of them.
When two Vowels are put together by way of Dipthoug, fo as to coalefce in one Syllable, *tis necefiary that there fhould be fome Note or Mark in their Charafters, tofignine their conjunction, 3s isufual in fome of the Greek, and Latin Diptbongs $ as "* * «> a?- oe, *, Otherwife there can be no certainty, whether the word be to be pro- nouoccd as i Adomojjllable, or DiJJ)llablc 3 as in D-u-el, Duel. Sw-et, Swet.
- Tis a common Afiertion amoogft Grammarians, Prifrian , gn inti-
four, and others. That no one (y liable can conlift of three Vowels, and contequently that there can be no Tripbongs 5 which I conceive to be founded upon the former miftake 5 namely, that > andv are to be ufed as Confonants : For *tis evident, that each of thefe may coalefce with every oneofthefirft Diptbongs, as las, yaw, «ai, way, ie«yew,
- y«, inwile, wight, qui, &c.
The compound Confonants are ufoally diftinguifhed into fuch as
-&£s:. cd -
1. Thofe are ftiled afpirated, which teem to be mixed with (HJ
and are ufually fo written i as 0,x, were invented by Palamedks, the u»jfim it Grecians were wont to exprels the power of them, by adding the afpi- Gram. cap. \ 6 . ration H, to T, n, K. Yet *tis vety plaio, that each of thele Confonants efteemed to be afpirated, are fimple Letters $ becaufe in the prolation oft hem, the fame found doth ft ill continue, and therefore they ought not to be reckoned amongft the mixed Letters. 2. Double Confonants are fuch as are compounded of feme of the other Letters, and for the Compendium of writing, are in feveral Lan- guages exprefled by fugle Characters, and reckoned in the Alphabet as if they were diftihfit fpecies of fmple Letters. Such are in the Latin Alphabet Q_, X, and the double Letter Z, whole power is the lame as DS. orTS. To which Claudius Cafar would have added an Auti- Scaiiger ie fgnta in this form ( 3 C) which Ihould have had the power of the Greek ie Canjis L. L> y > or PS. ctfp.21. As for the Letter Q,, 'Tis commonly granted tp be a Compound of VojfiusGram. Candllj for which reafen, in many ancient Books, the Letter V was not written after as being involved in it 5 lb qis, qa, qid. But what kind of V this mould be, is much debated. Some would have it to be the Confinant , againlk which Jofepb Scaliger argues, that Diatribe ie then it would not be pronounceable, being of near affinity to F, qfis, rumprommia - But upon confideratioo, it will be found to be the Letter « time. coalefcing into a Dipthong with the fubfequent Vowel, c*am, being the lame with quans ¥ What the true Original is of ( J ) Confonant, and that power which we give to (Ch} in the words Charity, Cbeefe , Chofen , Chink., &c. is a queftion men have much differed about. *Tis evident that neither of them are fingle Letters, becaufe in the prolation of them, we do Ale*. GjU, not eQ d with the fame found with which we begin. As for that Con- Gram. cap’.i. je&ure, that I Confenant may be exprefred by dzy, dzyindzyer, jy Wallis 6* n ? er » dzyudzy, Judge < oreife that this found is compounded of Gram. the Confpnants dy, . as dyoy for joy', dyentk, gentle , lodying for lodging. And fe for the power that we afcribe to Cb, that it may be fufficiently exprefled by Ty, as ortyard, for Orchard, rityes, for riches : Thefel think need not any particular refutation. It feems to be plain, that } Confenant is.a Compound of D, and Zh % and Ch of T, and Sh» As for the other three Conlbnants, that are reckoned in the common Alphabet, K,W, Y, enough hath been laid to prove them unneccfla*» ry. If C be ufed alwaies in its proper power (as every Letter ought} then K. muft needs be fupemuous $ and therefore the IVefb who ufe C only lor one kind of found, have no K. And as for the Letters W, Y, their power is the lame with that of the Vowels * , and as wtll evidently appear when they are rapidly pronounced before any other Vowel by way of Dipthong , lb as to make but one Syllable $ %wee aarr warr, faim fwim,./es yes, foke yoke, <«th youth. The words young and younker being originally of the Dutch, are by them writ- ten junk junker.

Cmemmg S^aturd grammar. 575 els; ashwl, h*er, h«en, which will in pronunciation be of the very fame (bund and power, wherein thefe words are now ufed, 4 nd there- fore is more natural and proper than the common way of writing. According to this eftabliftiment, the Ample Letters will be thirty four, whereof eight are Vowel?, and twenty fix Conlbnants, befides twenty four Dipthongs. The Greek Letters are faid to have been at firft only 1 6 $ namely, j e A, B, r. A, », I, K. A, M, N, O, n, P, 2, T, T- To which PalamedesGrm.cat.lt- is faid to have added the three Afpirates e, * x. Epickarmus the Si- cilian the double Letter? z, £, and Simonides the two long Vowels a and m. Notwithftanding which, that Alphabet is (till in (evesaljre- * fpefls defe&ive. What 7 heodorus Bibliander, fuggefts in his Traft de rat tone communi omnium Linguarum , that all (bunds both articulate, and inarticulate, may fufficiently be expreffed by 15 Letters, and an Afpiration, vi%i # the five ordinary Vowels, & B, G, D, L, M, N, R, S, is fo very irratio- nal, that I cannot think it needs any particular confutation. As for thofe other new Alphabets that are propofed by Sir Thomas Smith , Bulloki «*, Alex. Cill 3 they do nctae of them give a juft enume- ration of the Ample Elements of (peech, but what by tfce mixture of long and (hort Vowels, which do not differ fpecifically, together with the infertion of double Letters, they do . too much increale the num- ber of them. Befides that fome other Letters arc left out and omit- ted.
