of both Ancient and Modern Authors whatsoever of humane and divine knowledge is contain'd in their writings 9 Touching the Conceptions of the minde Which are to be knowingly applyed to Things I teach how to guide the proceedings of the Invention Judgement upon and Order of them That my Auditors may know how to finde out unknown Things to distinguish the doubtfull and to put in order the confused and distracted 10 In the first step or degree to learning as I said before I expound the Marks or Signatures of Things first naming them when brought to our sight in our Mother tongue then describing the outward habit as well totall as particular of each and that by its threefold accidents Lastly teaching them to apprehend them distinctly by some one or more differentiall characters 11 I shew Naturall Things in the living book of Nature Things Artificiall in the Shops and Work-houses of their Makers both of them in the Repositories of their figures representatiōs wch belong to our School where I shew them either living or carved yet as neere the life as may be or at least painted As for Things Divine so many of them as are expedient to be known I fetch them and explain there of out of Holy Scripture Lastly I compare the Marks of one Thing with those of another shewing what Things do altogether what do more or lesse according to some particular respects and what do not at all agree in their said marks or signatures So as their outward likeness or unlikeness may be more cleerly knowne may stick more fast in the memory and that the way may be laid to look into the conformity and deformity of their fabrick or structure 13 In the second step I explicate the frame and structure of Things and first Analytically or by taking them in pieces wherein I divide them first known by their outward Marks into their Integral parts as also Things naturall into their parts Essentiall and Accidentall So that in the former the Artifice of their Mechanicall connexion and in the other the proportion of Elements mixt wherof they are made and so the very ground and species of their outward Marks may be set before our Eyes and the causes of their subsistance durability and operations may be rightly rendred 14 Then Synthetically or by way of Composition where I shew to the very eye how Nature Art and God himself produce their works each of them his own by designing them doing and undoing them that the Learner may know how to imitate make or change any thing that is lawfull profitable or necessary 15 At length Syncritically or by comparing the structure of Things together and shewing what Things doe agree either in their Active or Passive Principles or in their Organicall parts either throughout partly or not at all so that there inward likenesse or unlikeness may appeare also and the way laid by these structures of Things to know their Vertues as before by the Signatures to know their Structure 16 In the third step I teach the Vertues and operative Faculties of Things and first of all I teach in generall how by their signature and structure found out as before and considered together to know their strength and powers viz of Things Naturall as they are quickned by such or such a spirit of Things Artificiall as they are so or so used by the work-men of Things Divine as they are thus or thus applied by men as also the motions arising from their said Powers their effects from their Motions and lastly their Uses and service in the world 17 Then I expound in speciall what effects all things worke upon their Countercopy Man in particular who is the Ruler Conqueror and Moderator of them all and how they conduce either to Food or Medicine to Clothing or Housing or to Delight or Information 18 Then in a yet more especiall manner I shew how that Man and only him containes within himself the vertue of all other things in the world and that he is furnished with various abilities to understand imitate or change any of them so that he is a true Microcosme and an expresse Image of the Macrocosme yea of God the Creator himselfe 19 In the fourth step I teach the way of representing by Characters the words of our Mother tongue and how to pronounce them so represented teaching my Scholars how first to fashion lines whereof afterwards letters are made then the whole letters themselves lastly syllables arising from the composition of letters and then they are to pronounce or sound those letters and syllables and to find them up and down in books of severall prints always proceeding from the more simple and easie lines letters and syllables by the more compounded to the most compound and complexed of all 20 Then I set my Scholars so long exercised in spelling till they can do it extempore to write and pronounce whole words still observing the former graduall way of proceeding from the most Simple to the most Compound and I make them dwell so long upon this Exercise till they can readily read and write any word not only by copying it but without any Copy by heart also 21 And because Arithmeticall cyphers are numbring words I teach to write and to pronounce them also and to tell the valew of many of them placed in a certaine order which we call Numeration 22 In the fift step I teach how to draw all these words so known a part into a compleat language either to be written or spoken and that materially formally or contextually by putting all words of a kind into Classes by themselves then he wing those Classes til they become fit to lye in a well ordered fabrick and lastly by erecting an Edifice of these so prepared materials 23 For the materiall constitution I have designed an Exemplary Dictionary wherein are first placed all words Radicall whether declinable or not as also additionall particles whether to be joyned either before or behind with any of them This I intend shall be done Parissyllabically so as all the Monosylables shall goe before the by syllables or words of two syllables follow and after them the trisyllables if any be Among the declinable the Nounes shall lead the Van the Verbes be in the middle and the particles partaking of both bring up the Reare Moreover of the declinables those of the same declension shall stand by themselves in order according to the divers prerogatives of their Terminations Genders and other relations 24 After this I lay down Rules how almost an innumerable number of words may be derived from and compounded out of the primitive and simple so far as to reach and expresse all Things and Conceptions and how their Radicall signification may be fitted to them lastly how these derivatives may be disposed in Classes answerable to their primitives for the future use of declining them 25 For the forming and setting together of words I intend a Gramaticall Directory wherein I
