smothered up in Paon o and in Saoul a c. The Dipthongs The Dipthongs may be reduced to the seven following 1. Ai or Ay sounds like Ai in these English words Raigâ— Fair as Faire to do Plaire to please Ie Feray I shall do †When Ai comes before m or n there a is little or nothing heard and m and n have a liquid soâ—nd as Faim Hunger Pain Bread †When Ai goes before l or ll the Vowel i is little heard but then l has a liquid sound as in this English word Cöllier as Travail work labour Travailler to work 2. Au is pronounced like o as Chaud warm Faute Fault 3. Ei sounds like ai as Reine Queen 4. Eu keeps the sound of both Vowels as Ieu Play Game Feu Fire 5. Ie is a Dipthong in some words as Ciel Heaven Miel Honey Fief Mannor Mien Mine Entier Whole 6. Oi and Oy sound sometimes like Oai as in Foin Hay Foy Faith Loy Law but it is usually pronounced like Ai as Connoître to know Anglois English 7. Ou sounds like the English oo as Poudre Powder Dust un Pou a Louse * Note that two Vowels do often meet together without making a Dipthong being to be pronounced separately and that always when one of them is marked with two tittles or an Accent as lier to lie supplier to beseâ—ch Laon a Name of a Town Païs Country Reüssir to succeed Reïterer to Reïterate Piété Piety Heroïque Heroick The Tripâ—â—ongs 1. Eau is pronounced like a single O as Peau Skin Beau Handsom Chapâ—â—u Hat 2. Ieu has the sound of the three Vowels as Dieu God Monsieur Sir 3. Oient is pronounced as atc in these English words Hate Date as ils aimoient they loved ilâ— disoient they said ART III. Of the Pronunciation of Consonants COnsonants in French are generally proâ—ouncâ—d as in English and if there be any difference it is so nice that the best way is to learn it by a good and understanding Master ART IV. Of Mute Letters 1. EFeminine is always smother'd up if the next Word begins by a Vowel as Vne belle ame read Vne bell ' ame Vne 〈…〉 read Vn ' armé invincibâ—e 2. The fiâ—â—l Vowel of these particles le la. de jâ— me te se nâ— que is drowned when joined to a word that begins by a Vowel â— as L'Emperour the Emperour L'Ombre the Shadow Parler d'amour to speak of Love I l M'aime He loves me 3. I in the word Si is drowned if it be joined to these two words il ils as sâ—il s'ils 4. Most Consonants ending a word especially d g p q s â— x z are not pronounced when the word following begins by a Consonant 5. R is little or not at all heard in the Infinitive Moods of Verb no more than in the Nouns ending in ier as Parler to speak Manger to eat Premier first Dernier last 6. None of these five Consonants d f g p t is pronounced when it ends the word with an s as mes grands Amis my great Friends Les Boeufs les Vaches the Oxen and the Cows c. 7. H is not properly a Letter but only a mark of Aspiration as in Hate haste Honte shame Heros Heroe c. but it is often Mute as in Habile able Homme Man Souhait wish c. CHAP. III. VVE have hinted before that from the joining and mingling of Vowels and Consonants together arise Syllables Syllables make Words Words make Sentences and Sentences make up the whole Language or Speech A Syllable is pronounced in one time and consists sometimes of one Letter sometimes of more as A-me Soul Enten-de-ment Un-der-stand-ing A Word consists of one or more Syllables as Dieu God Par-ler to speak De-man-der to ask A Sentence or Phrase is made up of several Words that make a Sence together as Les Dames Anglâ—ises sâ—nt les plus belles lâ—s plus châ—â—maâ—tes Femmes du Monde English Ladies are the handâ—omest and the most charming Women in the World There is in French Nine sorts of Words commonly called the Parts of Speech viz. The Arâ—icle the Noun the Pronoun the Verb the Parâ—â—ciplâ— the Adverb the Conjunction the Preposition and the Interjection ART I. Of the Articles ARticles are Words consisting of one or two Syllables which are commonly put before Nouns and Pronouns to shew their Gender Number and Declensioâ— There are Eleven Articles in French viz. Masc Singul. 1. Le The. 2. Da Of or from 3. Au To or to the. 10. Dâ— Of or from 11. A To. Femin Singul. 4. La The 5. Deâ—â— Of the or fâ—om 6. Al. To the or to Common Plur. 7. Les The. 8. Des Of or from 9. Aux To the or to â—To which may be added Vn Vne A An One. Des Some ART II. Of the Noun A Noun is a word that serves to name a thing as Dieu God Le Monde the World Bon good Grand great A Noun is either Substantive or Adjective 1. A Noun Substantive signifies a thing subsisting of it self and to whose significâ—tion nothing needs to be added as Maison House Homme Man Feâ—me Woman A Noun Substantive is divided into Proper and Common a Proper Noun is the particular Name of any single thing as Iean John Marie Mary Londres London But a Common Noun signifies all things of the same kind as Vn Homme a Man Vne Ville a Town or City 2. A Noun Adjective is that which expresses the manner and the quality of a Noun Substantive as Beau Handsome Grand great Rouge red There are four things called Accidents to be considered in Nouns viz. 1. The Gender 2. The Number 3. The Declension 4. The Comparison §. 1. Of Gender THE Gender is properly that which shews the difference of Sexes Genders are threefold in French viz. 1. Masculine marked by Le as Le Roy the King Le Soulieâ— the Shooc 2. Feminine marked by La as La Reine the Queen La Iupe the Petticoat 3. Common marked by Le or La as Le Manche the Handle La Manche the Sleeve Le or La Ieune the young * Tho' the proper use of Genders be only to distinguish the Male from the Female yet the French like the Latins observe that distinction even in inanimated things amongst which there is neither he nor she so that all Nouns in French are oâ— one of the fore-mentioned Genders Now to find out what Gender a Noun is of I shall not trouble you with any Rules for the best way is to learn it by practice I would only have you observe That Nouns Adjectives being to express the quality of the Substantives they ought to follow their Gender and be sometimes of the Masculine and sometimes of the Feminine to which purpose the two following Rules will be of great use 1. Adjectives ending in E Feminine are for both Genders or Common as Ieune young Aimable lovely 2. Adjectives of the
QUE je suive c. Je suivrois je suivisse J'aye suivi c. Imperative SUI qu'il suive suivons suivez qu'ils suivent Infinitive SUivre avoir suivi Suivant suivi Thus are Conjugated its Compounds Poursuivre to follow c. 27. Vivre To live Indicative Present S. JE vis tu vis il vit P. Nous vivons vous vivez ils vivent Je vivois je vecus J'ay vecu c. Je vivrai c. Conjunctive Present S. QUE je vive c. Je vivrois je vecusse J'aye vecu c. Imperative VI qu'il vive vivons vivez qu'ils vivent Infinitive VIvre avoir vecu Vivant Thus are Conjugated its Compounds Revivre to come to life again and Survivre to out-live Of the way of Conjugating Verbs with an Interrogation with a Negation with an Interrogation and Negation together and with these Particles en and y. 1. THE way to Conjugate a Verb with an Interrogation is to put the Personal Pronoun after the Verb as Aime je do I love aimez vous do you love aime t-â—lle doeâ— she love vas tu do you go va-â—-il does he go vont ilâ— do they go nous levons nous do we rise se levent elles do they rise pleut il does it rain aime-t-on do they love * Note that in the third Person Singular there is a â— put before the Pronouns il elle and on only for the sweetning of the Pronunciation 2. To Conjugate a Verb with a Negation the Frencâ— make commonly use of two Negative Particles vis ne anâ— pas the first goes betwixt the Person and the Verb anâ— pas after the Verb Thus Ie ne parle pas I do not speak Vous ne parlez pas yoâ— speak not Ie ne me leve pas I do not rise Elle ne sâ—â—leve pas she does not rise Il ne gelé pas it does not freeze 3. Now when there is an Interrogation with a Negation together ne goes before the Verb and pas after the Verb and the Pronoun as Ne vous levez vous pas do you not rise Ne parle t-elle pas doth she not speak Ne pleut il pas does it not rain But the Particle ne is sometimes left out especially before the Verbs beginning with a Conâ—onant as Le Roi veut il faire cela will not the King do that La Princesse partira-t-elle pas demain will not the Princess go away to morrow * Note that the Imperative Mood cannot be used with an Interrogation but in the Negative it may as Ne parle pas do not speak Quelle ne dise rieâ— let her say nothing 4. As for the two Particles en and y they come between the Person and the Verb where the Verb is used without an Interrogation as I'en parle I speak of it Elles en parlent they speak of it Tu y vas thou goest thither Vous y irez you shall go thither But in the Imperative Mood they run thus Parles-en do thou speak of it Vas y do thou go thither Qu'il en parle let him speak of it Qu'elle-y-aille let her go thither If the Negatives come in with these Particles then they must be placed as followeth Ie n'en parle pas I speak not of it Ie n'y vai pas I do not go thither Ie n'en ai pas parlâ— I did not speak of it Ie n'y suis pas allé I did not go thither But if with these Particles a Verb be used with an Interrogation it must be thus N'en parle je pas do I not speak of it N'y allons nous pas do we not go thither ART V. Of Participles THE Participle is a Part of Speech so called because it partaketh something of a Noun and something of a Verb. The Participles besides the Nature of a Noun Adjective or Substantive has the signification of the Verb from which it derives and these two Tenses the Present and the Preter from whence comes the division of Participles into Participles of the Present and others of the Preter Tense 1. Participles of the Present Tense All Participles present in French end in ant and are thus formed from the Infinitive of Verbs In the First Conjugation by turning er into ant Parler parlant In the Second Conjugation by turning er into issant Emplir Emplissant In the Third Conjugation by turning oir into ant Recevoir Recevant In the Fourth this Participle is formed from the first person plural of the Present Tense of the Indicative changing ons into ant Craignâ—ns Craignant Vendons Vendant †Except the Irregular Verbs of the three last Conjugations which form their Participles Present as you may see in the List of Irregular Verbs Construction of Participles Present The Participle in ant never varies as long as it has the force and Signification of the Verb it derives from but is of all Numbers and Genders as Le Soleil échauffant â—a Terre c. The Sun warming the Earth c. La Lune luisant dans la nuit The Moon shining in the Night Les Etoiles Brillant dans une nuit obscure The Stars Sparkling in a dark night Le Roy étant assis sur son Throne The King sitting on his Throne La Reine étant malade The Queen being sick Ces Dames étant un peu délicates Those Ladies being a little nice But when the Participles present takes the form of a Noun then it varies according to the difference of Genders and Numbers as Vn homme brillant A man of a brisk and lively humour Vn beauté charmante A charming beauty Les Etoiles étincelantes The sparkling Stars Vn grand panchant au vice A great proneness to vice Vne servante adroite A cunning and handy Maid Le croissant de la Lune The increase of the Moon To conclude this Participle is often Construed with the Preposition en as Eâ— parlant de la â—uerre nous dîmes beaucoup de choses touchant les conquêtes du Roy. As we were speaking of the War we said many things about the Kings Conquests Elle m'avoüa en soupirant qu'elle vous aimoit She confess'd to me with a sigh that she loved you 2. Participles of the Preter Tense These Participles are generally formed from the Infinitive Mood In the First Conjugation by changing er in é Parler Parlé In the Second Conjugation by changing ir in i Empliâ— Empli In the Third Conjugation by putting away oir Recevoir Receu In the Fourth Conjugation by changing re into u as Vendre Vendu †Except the Irregular Verbs of the three last Conjugations whose Participles Preter have several endings as you may see in the Conjugation of Irregular Verbs Construction of Participles Preter The Participle Preter being used in the active Signification with the Auxiliary Avoir never changes but is of all Genders Numbers and Persons as I'ay aimé I have loved Tu as aimé Thou hast loved Elle a aimé

are in the World Bishop All the different Religions may be reduced to Four viz. The Jewish the Heathenish the Christian and the Mahometan Earl By what Tokens now can I know the true Religion since every one will be believed upon its own Authority and threatens the unbelievers Bishop The chiefest Characters of true Religion and which distinguish it from the false ones are the Five following I. True Religion ought to oblige one to love God intirely and above all Creatures II True Religion must know our Nature for the true Nature of Man his true Happiness true Virtue and true Religion are things inseparable III. True Religion must know that Man is the most excellent of all Creatures and at the same time the most miserable IV. True Religion ought to teach that Man's Excellency consists in being capable of God and Vertue and that his misery lies in his Concupiscence and in the Corruption of his Nature which makes him both unworthy of God and unable to acquire Virtue V. Finally true Religion must shew the necessity of a Mediator between God and Men. Earl But pray to what Religion do these Characters belong Bishop After a true examination of the forenamed Religions it is plain that they exactly belong to Christian Religion and to it only Earl You will do me a great kindness to make that examination before me that I may have no scruple left But I shall save you the trouble of telling me any thing about the Heathenish Religion for I am sufficiently convinced that it is but a superstitious Worship of Idolaters or an human Invention politickly Establish'd to rule Men. But for the Jewish since by the general consent of all Christians it was the true Religion till theirs came up you 'll oblige me to tell me how the Iews are fallen from that Prerogative of being God's People they had formerly 〈◊〉 The difficulty you start will only serve to put a brighter gloss upon Christianity For you must observe that this Religion which consists in believing that Man is fallen from a State of Glory and Communication with God into a State of baseness and separation from God but that he would be restored by the Messiah was always upon Earth The promise of this Messiah was first made to Adam it was repeated to Noah and then to Abraham Isaac and Iacob God being afterwards willing to make to himself a People Holy which he would separate from other Nations and deliver from its Enemies chose the Posterity of Abraham then in Bondage in Egypt from which he freed them by the Ministry of Moses After that he kept them under a severe and ceremonial Law not so much to distinguish 'em from other Nations as to make them sensible of their Miseries and of the necessity they had of a Messiah to free them from the Yoke of Sin and of the Law The Time and Manner of this Messiah's coming was several times foretold by those Prophets God raised from time to time among the Iews The Prophecies have at last been fulfilled in the consummation of Times The Messiâ—s the Christ or the Redeemer is come and has proved his Mission by an infinite Number of Miracles by the Purity of his Doctrine and by the Holiness of his Conversation He has undergone Death to give us Life and to reconcile us to God â—is Father The third-day he did rise from the Dead both to shew his Omnipotency and the Victory he has gotten over Death and at last he has been taken up to Heaven from whence he will not come till the end of the Ages to Judge the World After the Ascension of the Saviour his Doctrine in a word Christianity hath spread it self over all the World where it has taken Root and did always stand tho always opposed Earl The brightness of so many Arguments you have linked together is such that in my Opinion it is impossible not to acknowledg the Truth and Divinity of Christian Religion and one thing which is past my finding out is the blindness of the Iews in mistaking the Messias promised Bishop I 'll tell you the reason of it God having brought them out of Egypt with all those great Miracles he made for them carried them into the happy and fruiâ—ful Land of Canaan gave them Kings and a magnificent Temple All this drowned the Iews into Earthly and Carnal Thoughts They expected their Messias would be a great Temporal Prince that should make them Masters of all the World so that seeing in him nothing but Mean most of them scornfully rejected him There were indeed some few Spiritual Iews who searching into the Scriptures saw that there were two comings of the Messias foretold by the Prophets one of Meanness and Humiliation of which the Time is mark'd out for fear it should be mistaken the other of Exaltation and Glory the Time of which is not mark'd because it will be so signal so notable and so plain that his very Enemies will acknowledg him Earl I have no difficulty left upon that matter and you will oblige me to tell me what one ought to think of Mahumetism Bishop 'T is enough to read the History of Mahomet to be convinced that he is a mere Cheat. For what Character has he but any one may have that will take upon himself to be a Prophet He was not foretold he has no Authority but his own which he never proved by any Miracle His Alchoran swarms with Absurdities nor was his Doctrine ever establisht but by force of Arms and by killing others when that of Jesus Christ was establish'd by Humility and suffering its Professors to be put to Death which argues that if Mahomet has taken the course to succeed Humanely Jesus Christ has followed that of Perishing had he not been supported by a most Divine Power Earl I am fully convinced of the Truth of Christianity but what still troubles me is to see it divided into several contrary Branches You will therefore oblige me to tell me which is the most agreeable to Jesus Christ's Doctrine Bishop The different Opinions that make the sad division of Christians may be reduced to these Two Religions viz. the Protestant and the Roman Catholick It would be too tedious to tell you the advantages the former has upon this and you may see the Errours of Catholicks about Transubstantiation Invocation of Saints Worship of Images Meritorious Works Purgatory and Indulgences confuted in many Books As for the divers Branches of the Protestant Religion it is plain that the Church of England is the most pure and the most agreeable to Primitive Christianity Earl My Lord I give you a thousand Thanks for your Instructions I have now no scruple in the least upon this matter and I give God thanks that I am born in so pure and holy a Church as ours is Bishop I am mighty glad to see your Lordship in these happy Dispositions and I shall take my leave of you by an Advice which I'm sure will
