two_o space_n between_o every_o letter_n in_o the_o same_o word_n but_o than_o you_o must_v remember_v to_o leave_v four_o space_n at_o least_o between_o each_o word_n for_o else_o there_o will_v not_o be_v distinction_n enough_o between_o word_n and_o word_n proportionable_a to_o the_o distinction_n between_o letter_n and_o letter_n and_o you_o may_v allow_v 12_o part_n void_a between_o

a_o word_n will_v serve_v this_o by_o printer_n be_v call_v get_v in_o or_o set_v close_o but_o by_o no_o mean_n you_o must_v put_v space_n between_o small_a letter_n in_o the_o same_o word_n but_o you_o must_v put_v one_o or_o sometime_o two_o between_o each_o word_n if_o your_o inscription_n belong_v you_o be_v best_o use_v the_o small_a roman_a letter_n because_o they_o be_v much_o thin_a and_o be_v indeed_o more_o easy_o read_v and_o more_o familiar_a than_o capital_n but_o you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o use_v a_o capital_a letter_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o in_o all_o proper_a name_n either_o of_o person_n or_o place_n and_o many_o time_n of_o thing_n if_o they_o bear_v emphasis_n remember_v also_o if_o your_o inscription_n be_v roman_a and_o the_o name_n of_o person_n or_o place_n fall_v in_o you_o must_v make_v the_o name_n italic_a letter_n begin_v they_o with_o a_o capital_a letter_n and_o sometime_o as_o you_o will_v dignify_v a_o person_n or_o place_n make_v the_o whole_a name_n in_o capital_a letter_n if_o your_o inscription_n be_v italic_a the_o proper_a name_n must_v be_v roman_a if_o your_o inscription_n be_v latin_a the_o small_a roman_a be_v the_o proper_a letter_n for_o it_o but_o the_o proper_a name_n must_v be_v italic_a and_o sometime_o italic_a capital_n as_o aforesaid_a unless_o it_o be_v the_o name_n of_o some_o vulgar_a place_n or_o thing_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o latin_a name_n than_o that_o name_n or_o word_n be_v to_o be_v in_o english_a letter_n but_o the_o first_o letter_n a_o capital_a or_o for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a all_o english_a capital_n be_v sure_a to_o forecast_v that_o in_o a_o large_a inscription_n of_o a_o continue_a series_n of_o discourse_n each_o line_n be_v exact_o of_o the_o same_o

your_o inscription_n be_v in_o verse_n for_o then_o also_o you_o may_v end_v at_o any_o length_n yet_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v not_o graceful_a to_o end_v a_o break_v with_o a_o short_a word_n only_o in_o a_o line_n because_o it_o seem_v too_o like_o a_o white-line_n but_o to_o remedy_v that_o inconvenience_n you_o may_v allow_v more_o space_n between_o the_o word_n in_o the_o former_a two_o or_o three_o line_n that_o so_o you_o may_v have_v a_o word_n or_o two_o the_o more_o in_o your_o break-line_n when_o you_o begin_v new_a matter_n after_o a_o break_v you_o must_v indent_v your_o line_n four_o space_n at_o least_o and_o make_v the_o first_o letter_n a_o capital_a when_o you_o draw_v a_o title_n over_o a_o inscription_n you_o must_v consider_v the_o word_n of_o
