Directions for true Spelling and Writing of English ALL Speech or Language is composed of Words and every Word is composed of Syllables except it be a Monosyllable and every Syllable is composed of one or more Letters The Letters are in number twenty four as followeth viz. a b c d e f g h i k l m n o p q r s t u w x y z to which may be added j and v which make up the number twenty six These Letters are divided into Vowels and Consonants The Vowels are a e i o u and y after a Consonant The Consonants are b c d f g h k l m n p q r s t w x z and y when it comes before a Vowel in the same Syllable as in youth young yonder also j and v are Consonants where-ever found No Syllable can be spelt without a Vowel and sometimes the Vowels alone make a Syllable as a-gainst e-ve-ry i-vo-ry o-ver usury And as no Syllable can be without a Vowel so no Syllable hath more than one Vowel as di-vi-si-on except when two have one sound which we call Dipthongs as au-tho-ri-ty soon pro-ceed neu-ter And e or es in the end of a word which for distinction sake may aptly be called e final as hence since con-fute names bones Or in Compound Words as safe-guard not sa-fe-guard there-fore not the-refore c. Wherefore when any word is given to be divided into Syllables consider how many Vowels and Dipthongs are therein so many Syllables must there be except as before excepted And to divide your Syllables exactly take the following Rules I. When two Vowels come together in a word being no Diphthong but having each his full sound then must they in Spelling be divided as mu-tu-al tri-umph tri-en-ni-al II. When a double Consonant is in the middle of a word then is it likewise in Spelling to be divided as war-rant common spel-ling ne-ces-sa-ry III. When a Consonant is in the middle of a word between two Vowels or Dipthongs then must that Consonant be joined to the latter Vowel or Dipthong as di-li-gent re-ve-la-ti-on de-li-ve-rance sau-ci-ly co-ve-tous IV. When two or more Consonants being such as can begin a word follow a Vowel such Consonants must generally be joined to the latter Syllable as mi-ni stra-ti-on mi-ni ster de-tract de-spise de-clare See more Examples of this Rule in the 10th Chapter V. When two or more Consonants being such as cannot begin a word come between two Vowels then must they be divided one to the former and the other to the latter Vowel as ab-sence a●-ter al-mond con-tra-ry con-strain where note that when three or four Consonants are in the middle of a word between two Vowels such of them as can begin a word must be joined to the latter Syllable as con-tra-ry where you see ntr cannot begin a word but tr may wherefore is n joined to the first and tr to the latter Syllable So in con strain ●str cannot begin a word but str may c. From the foregoing general Rules there are these following Exceptions viz. From the third Rule there are two Exceptions 1. When x followeth a Vowel it must be always joined with the Vowel before it as wax eth fix-ed ex am-ple not wa-xeth fi-xed e xam p e for the Letter x hath the sound of two Consonants viz. c and s which cannot begin a word but if instead of x you would use c and s then it would come under the fifth Rule as for wax-eth wac-seth c. 2 When e is in the end of a word you ought not to stop at the Vowel before it as lame not la-me con-sume not consu-me c. From the third and fourth Rules are excepted all words that begin with these Prepositions viz. abs ob in un dis mis per sub and such as end with these terminations ly less ness ler as ab-la-tive ob-la-ti-on in-a-bi-li-ty in-au gu-rate un-able dis-a-ble dis-trust mis-place mis-take per am-bu-late suborn sub-lime ug-ly help-less co ve-tous-ness bab-ler For these prepositions and terminations must have their full sound and pronunciation A Syllable is either long or short A Syllable is said to be long when it is pronounced by a longer time than ordinary and a Syllable is said to be short when it is pronounced by a short time There are three things which make a Syllable long viz. 1. When e is placed at the end of a word it always makes the last Syllable long as made bare cane note tune whereas if the e were neglected it would be sounded short as mad bar c. 2. Secondly a Dipthong maketh a Syllable long as train cool caul feel c. where note that e ought never to be written at the end of a word if the last Syllable have a Diphthong in it as con-strain un seen not con straine unseene Except when s follows the Diphthong soft th and c and g as hoise noise seeth voice choice siege 3. Thirdly gh after a Vowel in the end of a word makes the Syllable long as high night thigh sight There are likewise three things which make a Syllable short 1. First many Consonants joined together as first durst distrust contemptible 2. Secondly the doubling of a Consonant as pil-low billow stag-ger stam-mer 3. Thirdly when e is left out at the end of a word as if from fare bare mate you take away e the Syllable will be short as far bar mat also bed quit knit c. Words of one short Syllable need never have the last Consonant doubled to shorten its sound as met trip flip at top gut except in some few words where custom has prevailed to make a distinction from other words of the same sound but of different significations as Ann cann butt inn interr Chap. 27. Some Observations of the several Letters of the Alphabet A A being placed before l and after a Consonant is sounded broad and long like the Diphthong au as call shall ball bald shalt s●ald malt mall Therefore when the Diphthong au is sounded before l it is most commonly written with an a only except in Paul brawl caul assault fault bawl A is seldom or never sounded after e or o in the same Syllable that is in the improper

Ahab might have his Vineyard which he had long coveted 1 Kings 21. It is Recorded in the Chronicles of Scotland how that one Campbel a Fryar by falsly accusing of one Hamilton caused him to be Burnt to Death but Hamilton being in the Fire ready to be Executed Cited or Summoned the said Fryar to appear betwixt that and such a day which he then named before the most high God the Righteous Judge of all Men to Answer to the Innocency of his Death and whether his Accusation were just or not now behold the just Hand of God for before the day nominated by the said Hamilton came the Fryar died miserably without any Remorse of Conscience These six things doth the Lord hate yea seven are an Abomination unto him A Proud Look a Lying Tongue and Hands that shed Innocent Blood an Heart that deviseth Wicked Imaginations Feet that be swift in running to Mischief a False Witness that speaketh Lies and him that soweth Discord among Brethren Prov. 6. 16 17 18 19. Covetousness a Breach of the Tenth Commandment THE Jews when they had forsaken the Law of the Lord were miserably afflicted for there were slain of Iudah in one day by Pe●ah the Son of Ramaliah an Hundred and Twenty Thousand and afterwards the Children of Israel took of their Brethren of the House of Iudah Two Hundred Thousand Women Sons and Daughters and a vast deal of Treasure and carried it to Samaria but they were severely reproved by the Prophet Obed who denounced the heavy Anger of the Lord against them and they returned their Captives and Prey into Iudea As you may see at large 2 Chron. 28. King Zedekiah is reprehended as a Violator of this Commandment for grievously oppressing his Subjects by Building Stately and Magnificent Structures at the Charge and Labour of the Poor as you may see in Ierem. 22. The Sons of Samuel being Covetously minded took Bribes and perverted Judgment which made the Children of Israel desirous to change their present Government into a Kingdom 1 Sam. 8. King Ahab coveting Naboth's Vineyard and being Naboth would not sell it him because it was the Inheritance of his Fathers by the counsel advice or instigation of his Wife Iezabel Witnesses are Suborned falsly to accuse him and Naboth is stoned to Death so that now Ahab may have the Vineyard at his pleasure but behold the Hand of God in revenging his Covetousness and false Accusation fell upon all his Posterity 1 Kings 21. W● to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their Beds When the Morning is light they practise it because it is in the power of their hands And they covet Fields and take them by violence and Houses and take them away So they oppress a Man and his House evon a Man and his Heritage Therefore thus saith the Lord Behold against this Family do I devise an evil from which ye shall not remove your Necks neither shall ye go haughtily for this time is Evil.
