Chapter Directions for the Exercize of the Lower Form VVHen your lower Form hath perfectly read the the three first Chapters of their Syllabary for their Exercise let them take three or four lines in each last Section of every Chapter in order thorough the Book as in the last Section of the third Chapter saying thus be is a digram with its vowel in the second place eb is a digram with its vowel in the first place c. So likewise in the fourth Chapter eb is a digram with its vowel in the first place ad is a digram with its vowel in the first place I de is a trigram with one Consonant in the second place In the fift Chapter by is a digram with its vowel in the second place try is a digram with its vowel in the third place c. In the sixt Chapter bab is a trigram with its vowel in the second place c. Thus thorough the 22 Chapters til they are prompt and ready therein and have learned their Rules for Syllabication and then let them take any last Section in the said Chapters Except the three first and learn to syllabicate Monosyllabls in thi● manner following Chap. 19. Section the last brew'd is a Mosyllabl though there be two vowels because ew is a proper diphthong made of e the prepositiv vowel and w for u the subjunctiv therefore there is a vowel more than syllabls according to the first Exception breed is a Monosyllabl though there be two vowels becaus ee is an improper diphthong made of e and e and therefore there is a vowel more than Syllabls according to the first Exception And in the tenth Chapter thus dive is a Monosyllabl though there may seem to be three vowels becaus v is u vowel turned into ev consonant and therefore there may seem to be a vowel more than Syllabls according to the second Exception and e in the end of an English word is not sounded according to the 2d rule for vowels not sounded and therefore there is a vowel more than syllabls according to the third Exception and so on through the Book Directions for teaching of the Higher Form VVHen you have brought your Scholars into the Higher Form let them take their Lessons in the forenoon in the twenty third Chapter of the Syllabary learning to spell all the Polysyllabls therein as shall be here directed and read the Monosyllabary every boy his line in the afternoons as before in the Syllabary till they can read it readily and perfectly after that let them read what part of the Bible in the afternoons you shall think fit in the forenoons teaching them first to spel every Syllabl in order as you see them there divided and putting them together as he spels them in this manner c h a p-chap t e r s ters chapters u u m num b e r s bers numbers c. as in the first Section G e for J e je n e ne Gene s i s sis Genesis E x Ex o per se o Exo d u s dus Exodus c. as in the second Section til they can spell the whole Chapter readily and perfectly without stop or stay and then put them to learn to read the same as they formerly learned to read Syllabls and Monosyllabls which when they can read well let them leav and learn to read all the Rules of Syllabication labouring to bring them to the understanding thereof along as they learn them which when they read readily and understand competently put them to learn by heart which being don put them continually to the Practice of their Rules in Syllabication as they read either these Directions or their Bibles or both for after they have learned them they must learn these Directions in the forenoons til they read them perfectly also and after that the Bible in both ends of the day except the Teacher conceiv of some other Book fit to be taught therewith the one part of the day Directions for the Exercise of the Higher Form WHen your Higher Form hath read their Rules of Syllabication and somewhat understands them let them learn to Syllabicate which is to find out a word by its syllabls which that they may do of themselves when they have occasion let them exercise as followeth for an instance herein I will take 2 verses of the 4th Chapter of Proverbs 13. Take fast hold of Instruction let her not go keep her for she is thy life 23. Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life Which is syllabicated in this manner Take is a Monosyllabl though there be two vowels becaus e in the end of a word is not sounded according to the 2 rule for vowels not sounded and therefore there is a vowel more than Syllabls according to the third exception fast is a tetragram hold is a tetragram hould not hold because o before ld hath the souud of ou according to the 2d rule for spelling Direct p. 16. Instruction is a tetrasyllabl because it hath four vowels and no Exception In is the first syllabl becaus n and s are two Consonants comming together which cannot begin a word and therefore cannot begin a syllabl but must be divided and the former must begin the former syllabl and the latter must begin the latter according to the third rule of Divisio● struc is the second syllabl becaus c and t are two consonants comming together which cannot begin a word and therefore cannot begin a syllabl but must be divided according to the same third Rule of Division struck not strus because c before e i or y c. as in the third Rule for spelling Direc p. 16. instruc ti is the third syllabl because i and o are two vowels comming together and no Diphthong therefore they must be divided and the former must end the former syllabl and the latter must begin the latter according to the first Rule of Division shi not ti becaus ti before a vowel hath usually the sound of shi instructi on is the last syllabl Instruction all the following Monosyllabls as before Diligence is a Trissyllabl though there are four vowels because e in the end of an English word is not sounded according to the Rule for vowels not sounded therefore there must be a vowel more than syllabls according to the third Exception di is the first Syllabl because l is one consonant comming betwixt two vowels therefore it must begin the following syllabl according to the second rule of Division dili-gence is the last syllabl jence not guence becaus g after d and before e i and y c. gense not genke becaus c before e i or y c. diligence and so the rest These are all the Directions I can as yet give by reason mine Abcedary is not yet made publick wherein this form and the highest are to be perfected in reading the hardest English can be gathered out of History Divine or Prophane and all
