let_v a_o child_n be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o his_o vowel_n and_o make_v to_o pronounce_v they_o full_o by_o themselves_o because_o they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o perfect_a sound_n alone_o 2._o teach_v he_o to_o give_v the_o true_a valour_n or_o force_n of_o the_o consonant_n and_o to_o take_v notice_n how_o imperfect_o they_o sound_v except_o a_o vowel_n be_v join_v with_o they_o both_o

of_o the_o consonant_a with_o the_o perfect_a sound_n of_o the_o vowel_n as_o to_o say_v ba_o be_v by_o bo_o but_o etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o be_v good_a to_o leave_v ca_fw-mi ce_fw-fr ci_fw-la co_z

4._o then_o exercise_v he_o in_o syllable_n make_v of_o one_o vowel_n set_v before_o one_o consonant_a sect._n 6._o as_o to_o say_v ab_fw-la ebb_n ib_o ob_fw-la ub_z etc._n etc._n till_o he_o can_v

and_o so_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n compare_v one_o with_o another_o 5._o and_o if_o to_o any_o one_o of_o these_o syllable_n you_o add_v a_o letter_n and_o teach_v he_o how_o to_o join_v it_o in_o

let_v he_o pronounce_v it_o bad_a he_o will_v quick_o be_v able_a to_o join_v a_o letter_n with_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n as_o nip_n pin_n but_o tub_n etc._n etc._n to_o enure_v your_o young-scholar_n

which_o differ_v only_o in_o one_o letter_n as_o and_o band_n hand_n land_n sand_n 2._o teach_v they_o to_o frame_v any_o word_n of_o one_o syllable_n by_o join_v any_o of_o the_o consonant_n which_o go_v before_o vowel_n with_o those_o that_o use_v to_o follow_v vowel_n and_o put_v in_o vowel_n betwixt_o they_o as_o black_a block_n clack_n clock_n and_o this_o they_o may_v do_v afterwards_o among_o themselves_o have_v several_a loose_a letter_n make_v and_o give_v they_o to_o compose_v or_o divide_v in_o a_o sport_a manner_n which_o i_o may_v right_o term_v the_o letter-sport_n when_o a_o child_n be_v become_v expert_a in_o join_v consonant_n with_o the_o vowel_n then_o take_v he_o to_o the_o diphthong_n sect._n 9_o and_o there_o 1._o teach_v he_o the_o natural_a force_n of_o a_o

in_o the_o book_n you_o may_v add_v other_o of_o your_o own_o till_o by_o many_o example_n the_o child_n do_v well_o apprehend_v your_o meaning_n and_o so_o as_o that_o he_o can_v bold_o adventure_v to_o imitate_v you_o and_o practise_v of_o himself_o thus_o after_o a_o child_n be_v thorough_o exercise_v in_o the_o true_a sound_n of_o the_o vowel_n and_o consonant_n together_o let_v he_o

he_o learn_v to_o join_v and_o part_v they_o according_a to_o these_o profitable_a rule_n 1._o a_o english_a syllable_n may_v sometime_o consist_v of_o eight_o letter_n but_o never_o of_o more_o as_o

the_o beginning_n of_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v part_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o they_o as_o my-ste-ry_n 4._o consonant_n which_o be_v not_o join_v in_o the_o beginning_n of_o word_n be_v to_o be_v
