A60202	The deaf and dumb man's discourse. Or A treatise concerning those that are born deaf and dumb containing a discovery of their knowledge or understanding; as also the method they use, to manifest the sentiments of their mind. Together with an additional tract of the reason and speech of inanimate creatures. By Geo. Sibscota.	Sibscota, George.; Deusing, Anton, 1612-1666.	1670 (1670)	Wing S3748B; ESTC R203573	28,715	98

original_o deaf_a may_v attain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o divine_a mystery_n sufficient_a for_o salvation_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n why_o speech_n which_o be_v usual_o acquire_v by_o hear_v

therefore_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a may_v by_o writing_n inform_v their_o mind_n with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o must_v be_v obtain_v by_o hear_v in_o other_o who_o sense_n

those_o scholar_n which_o my_o friend_n peter_n pontius_n undertake_v who_o first_o teach_v they_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a to_o write_v or_o to_o express_v the_o conception_n of_o their_o mind_n by_o writing_n and_o then_o to_o speak_v 46._o the_o same_o reason_n there_o be_v for_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a if_o dumb_a also_o they_o may_v by_o writing_n understand_v thing_n although_o no_o external_a writing_n be_v subsequent_a to_o speech_n for_o the_o speech_n in_o man_n conduce_v not_o to_o the_o gain_n of_o knowledge_n to_o themselves_o but_o only_o to_o communicate_v the_o conception_n of_o their_o own_o mind_n to_o other_o this_o be_v clear_a by_o a_o example_n take_v out_o of_o pel._n platerus_n who_o in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o his_o observation_n pag._n 118._o report_n that_o a_o certain_a person_n who_o be_v bear_v deaf_a and_o dumb_a can_v with_o chalk_n draw_v out_o his_o mind_n in_o a_o table-book_n which_o he_o carry_v continual_o about_o he_o and_o understand_v what_o other_o write_v therein_o 47._o but_o as_o writing_n or_o the_o read_n thereof_o may_v serve_v in_o stead_n of_o speech_n by_o which_o the_o conception_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o sight_n as_o well_o as_o they_o be_v by_o speech_n to_o the_o ear_n so_o there_o may_v

deaf_a may_v learn_v to_o speak_v for_o so_o valles_n philoso_n sacr._n cap._n 3._o report_n that_o one_o peter_n pontius_n a_o monk_n of_o the_o order_n of_o st._n benedict_n and_o his_o friend_n teach_v those_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a to_o speak_v by_o no_o other_o way_n than_o instruct_v they_o first_o to_o write_v point_v at_o those_o thing_n with_o his_o finger_n that_o be_v signify_v by_o those_o character_n and_o then_o put_v they_o forward_o to_o that_o motion_n of_o the_o tongue_n that_o do_v correspond_v to_o the_o character_n 18._o but_o if_o by_o those_o that_o be_v dumb_a we_o understand_v such_o as_o have_v organ_n fit_a for_o the_o form_n of_o word_n but_o yet_o understand_v no_o language_n nor_o ever_o learn_v such_o word_n as_o express_v the_o conceive_a sense_n of_o the_o mind_n it_o be_v undeniable_o true_a that_o many_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a be_v also_o dumb_a who_o never_o be_v instruct_v in_o any_o tongue_n or_o signicative_a word_n by_o the_o

generality_n albertus_n magnus_n in_o his_o 4._o book_n de_fw-fr anim._n tract_n 2._o c._n 2._o say_v that_o those_o that_o be_v deaf_a from_o their_o nativity_n be_v also_o dumb_a because_o they_o

the_o 3._o book_n of_o his_o anatomy_n c._n 9_o refer_v the_o cause_n of_o deafness_n to_o the_o drum_n of_o the_o ear_n who_o say_v that_o those_o who_o from_o their_o birth_n be_v thus_o affect_v be_v also_o for_o the_o most_o part_n dumb_n because_o they_o can_v neither_o conceive_v in_o their_o mind_n nor_o utter_v with_o their_o tongue_n those_o word_n which_o they_o never_o hear_v 20._o but_o laurentius_n contradict_v this_o opinion_n in_o the_o 11_o book_n of_o his_o anatomy_n and_o the_o 11_o question_n where_o he_o say_v i_o do_v not_o allow_v of_o that_o vulgar_a conceit_n that_o the_o reason_n why_o those_o that_o be_v deaf_a be_v mute_a because_o they_o can_v learn_v no_o language_n and_o because_o hear_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o learning_n for_o than_o say_v he_o if_o that_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n why_o deaf_a man_n be_v dumb_a first_o why_o do_v they_o breathe_v out_o their_o sigh_n and_o groan_n which_o be_v natural_a passion_n with_o so_o much_o difficulty_n sccond_o whether_o or_o no_o may_v not_o those_o that_o be_v deaf_a frame_n word_n and_o speech_n to_o express_v the_o sense_n and_o conception_n of_o the_o mind_n if_o they_o can_v pronounce_v they_o as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v the_o first_o inventor_n of_o they_o 21._o but_o in_o truth_n we_o may_v give_v this_o answer_n to_o laurentius_n his_o first_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v a_o fallacy_n to_o say_v that_o deaf_a man_n groan_v and_o sigh_v with_o difficulty_n because_o original_a deafness_n have_v no_o manner_n of_o communication_n with_o the_o part_n subservient_fw-fr to_o respiration_n but_o laurentius_n his_o mistake_n seem_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o what_o aristotle_n write_v in_o his_o four_o problem_n section_n 11._o that_o deaf_a man_n breathe_v not_o without_o violence_n by_o which_o aristotle_n do_v not_o mean_v a_o violent_a or_o difficult_a respiration_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o lung_n and_o breast_n but_o a_o vehement_a spiration_n or_o breathe_n through_o the_o nostril_n whereupon_o he_o add_v that_o the_o nostril_n become_v more_o large_a by_o the_o passage_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o can_v speak_v but_o through_o the_o nose_n and_o so_o also_o in_o the_o second_o problem_n say_v he_o those_o that_o be_v deaf_a want_n but_o little_a of_o be_v dumb_a and_o those_o that_o be_v dumb_a speak_v through_o the_o nose_n for_o their_o spirit_n be_v drive_v that_o way_n because_o they_o can_v speak_v 22._o now_o where_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o ineptitude_n to_o speech_n in_o deaf_a man_n occasion_v by_o some_o defect_n appertain_v to_o the_o palate_n as_o well_o as_o the_o organ_n of_o hear_v they_o breathe_v not_o without_o difficulty_n and_o because_o their_o spirit_n do_v bend_v their_o course_n more_o towards_o the_o nostril_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o wideness_n of_o their_o passage_n beside_o that_o they_o breathe_v out_o a_o kind_n of_o voice_n with_o their_o mouth_n as_o aristtole_n speak_v concern_v elephant_n in_o the_o 4._o book_n de_fw-fr hist_n anim._n c._n 9_o yet_o that_o sound_n they_o make_v with_o their_o nose_n resemble_v the_o hoarseness_n of_o a_o

yet_o as_o plato_n teach_v it_o be_v not_o the_o property_n of_o a_o vuigar_a genius_n to_o impose_v name_n upon_o thing_n much_o less_o be_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o every_o person_n to_o

of_o various_a tongue_n be_v afterward_o supernatural_o send_v by_o god_n at_o the_o build_n of_o the_o tower_n of_o babel_n and_o then_o the_o variety_n of_o idiom_n do_v gradual_o proceed_v from_o
