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.

Concerning the Diphthongs read the seventh Chapter Chap. 28. Of the use of Great Letters commonly called Capitals THE Capitals in writing are of very great use and are to be used according to the followng directions I. All proper Names whether of Men or Women as Adam Iames Iohn Mary and also the Sirnames of Men. Likewise the proper Names of Countreys Cities Towns Arts Sciences Dignities Titles of Honour Offices Days Months Winds Places Heathenish Gods and Goddesses ●ivers and Islands II. Every Sentence beginning after a period is to be begin with a Capital and in Poetry every Verse or Line must begin with a Capital Also every Book Chapter Verse Paragraph and Section III. When the words of another is quoted they ought to begin with a great Letter as Matth. 2. 8. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said Go and search diligently for the young Child c. IV. The Titles of Books as THE HOLY BIBLE and many times very remarkable Sentences are written with great Letters as Rev. 17. 5.

A Comma marked thus a Semicolon thus a Colon thus a Period or full stop thus an Interrogation noted thus and a note of Exclamation or Admiration noted thus and a Parenthesis which is noted thus with two Semicircles A Comma is a stop of the smallest time and requires but very little breathing as for Example But ye are a chosen Generation a Royal Priesthood an holy Nation a peculiar People c. A Semicolon is of somewhat longer time than a Comma as in this Example His very Countenance begat in me a trembling his Words were terrible as thunder his Rage is sufficient to compleat my ruin A Colon is a middle pause between a Comma and a Period and is generally in the middle of a Sentence Example If I hold my Tongue I can expect no relief And if I speak I fear I shall be rejected Unless by some powerful Expressions I can make her really sensible of what I truly feel A Period is the longest pause or breathing time and is always put at the end of a compleat Sentence Example Eternity is an undeterminable Circle wherein the persons of all Ages shall be encompassed in endless weal or woe An Interrogation or Interrogative point is always placed after a question Example Whither can I fly for redress Or to whom shall I apply myself for relief A note of
