express_v each_o word_n distinct_o after_o you_o and_o make_v a_o pause_v after_o every_o word_n till_o the_o child_n have_v do_v repeat_v and_o when_o you_o come_v to_o any_o word_n or_o word_n that_o the_o child_n can_v easy_o pronounce_v or_o express_v than_o you_o ought_v to_o reiterate_v it_o with_o a_o plain_a strong_a voice_n assist_v and_o help_v the_o child_n in_o his_o pronounce_v but_o if_o it_o be_v still_o hard_a leave_v it_o go_v on_o it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v easy_o do_v at_o another_o time_n thus_o when_o you_o have_v read_v one_o book_n or_o as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o you_o think_v fit_a choose_v another_o provide_v always_o that_o your_o book_n be_v innocent_a and_o pleasant_a by_o this_o mean_v you_o shall_v accustom_v your_o scholar_n to_o a_o variety_n of_o print_n letter_n and_o word_n which_o will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o he_o whereas_o in_o the_o common_a school_n you_o see_v a_o child_n that_o can_v read_v tolerable_o well_o in_o one_o book_n or_o one_o chapter_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v able_a to_o read_v a_o word_n in_o another_o but_o by_o practise_v the_o method_n we_o prescribe_v two_o or_o three_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n in_o eight_o o●_n ten_o week_n time_n the_o child_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o read_v in_o most_o book_n all_o the_o sense_n have_v their_o appoint_a office_n now_o the_o particular_a office_n of_o hear_v be_v to_o receive_v in_o and_o distinguish_v sound_n and_o bring_v they_o through_o the_o proper_a organ_n and_o present_v they_o to_o the_o memory_n which_o be_v a_o retentive_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n who_o office_n be_v to_o register_n all_o the_o ear_n have_v present_v it_o with_o that_o they_o may_v be_v forth_o come_v when_o any_o occasion_n shall_v call_v for_o they_o now_o the_o ear_n be_v the_o natural_a organ_n to_o receive_v all_o sound_n and_o word_n that_o sound_v voice_n or_o word_n that_o be_v speak_v by_o another_o person_n and_o receive_v by_o a_o three_o make_v a_o far_o

the_o strong_a speak_v enter_v the_o organ_n more_o forcible_o and_o convey_v the_o sound_n and_o sense_n to_o the_o memory_n which_o record_v and_o present_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n which_o be_v the_o guide_n of_o action_n and_o judge_n of_o what_o pass_v and_o repass_n through_o the_o little_a world_n man._n for_o this_o cause_n never_o any_o man_n do_v or_o can_v pronounce_v any_o language_n or_o tongue_n true_o and_o proper_o by_o read_v of_o it_o only_o if_o he_o have_v not_o hear_v it_o speak_v and_o true_o pronounce_v to_o he_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o many_o speak_v most_o of_o their_o word_n improper_o though_o they_o have_v read_v they_o a_o thousand_o time_n but_o the_o ear_n immediate_o catch_v what_o they_o hear_v proper_o speak_v and_o convey_v it_o to_o the_o memory_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v forget_v now_o the_o sense_n of_o hear_v be_v make_v good_a by_o hear_v as_o in_o musical_a harmovy_n by_o the_o common_a use_n and_o hear_v of_o good_a music_n and_o singing_n the_o ear_n can_v distinguish_v sound_n and_o know_v when_o it_o be_v well_o perform_v and_o the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o speak_n of_o

child_n shall_v be_v teach_v to_o speak_v the_o tongue_n or_o language_n by_o hear_v or_o conversation_n before_o they_o think_v of_o learning_n the_o rule_n for_o the_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n of_o speak_v be_v a_o great_a art_n and_o the_o work_n of_o time_n and_o not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v teach_v child_n this_o preposterous_a method_n do_v rather_o distract_v and_o confound_v they_o than_o improve_v and_o profit_v so_o that_o by_o the_o method_n common_o use_v in_o the_o school_n very_o few_o ever_o arrive_v to_o speak_v of_o many_o thing_n it_o be_v conversation_n that_o giveschildren_n a_o universal_a tongue_n or_o way_n of_o speak_v by_o this_o mean_n viz._n by_o frequency_n of_o speak_v and_o discourse_v the_o hard_a word_n will_v become_v easy_a and_o familiar_a for_o as_o we_o say_v already_o they_o aught_o to_o speak_v and_o read_v perfect_o before_o they_o enter_v upon_o the_o reason_n and_o rule_n of_o speak_v now_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o fore_n mention_v method_n be_v first_o it_o save_v expense_n of_o time_n which_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n in_o our_o school_n a_o boy_n learn_v for_o seven_o year_n and_o after_o all_o can_v neither_o write_v nor_o speak_v a_o line_n of_o true_a latin_n beside_o the_o difficulty_n in_o their_o way_n of_o proceed_v damp_n and_o discourage_v the_o child_n industry_n and_o inclination_n to_o learn_v second_o he_o shall_v pronounce_v his_o word_n more_o proper_o and_o exact_o three_o he_o shall_v more_o ready_o read_v in_o any_o strange_a book_n offer_v he_o at_o first_o sight_n four_o it_o do_v wonderful_o benefit_n and_o imprint_v the_o matter_n on_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o teacher_n so_o that_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o co-partnership_n in_o learning_n between_o the_o master_n and_o the_o scholar_n five_o by_o this_o way_n any_o father_n mother_n or_o friend_n may_v with_o ease_n and_o delight_n teach_v their_o own_o child_n to_o read_v at_o home_n without_o the_o charge_n or_o trouble_v of_o send_v they_o abroad_o to_o school_n where_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o learn_v nothing_o but_o lewd_a word_n and_o ill_a manner_n and_o in_o short_a lose_v all_o their_o time_n six_o this_o method_n will_v not_o be_v only_o beneficial_a to_o child_n but_o to_o those_o of_o mature_a age_n that_o will_v learn_v to_o read_v well_o who_o may_v hereby_o be_v improve_v in_o three_o or_o four_o week_n to_o admiration_n and_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o pronounce_v all_o word_n with_o their_o right_a tone_n and_o accent_n as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v breed_v scholar_n for_o example_n when_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o be_v use_v to_o pronounce_v this_o word_n participate_v short_a they_o will_v never_o say_v partici_a pate_n make_v the_o last_o syllable_n save_o one_o long_a which_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a yet_o these_o and_o a_o many_o other_o absurdity_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o common_a method_n of_o teach_v a_o true_a method_n of_o teach_v to_o write_v a_o good_a legible_a hand_n let_v there_o be_v copy_n engrave_v and_o print_v on_o good_a paper_n not_o one_o line_n only_o on_o the_o top_n or_o side_n as_o be_v usual_a for_o write_v master_n to_o place_v their_o copy_n but_o in_o line_n quite_o through_o the_o book_n first_o the_o beginning_z stroke_n of_o every_o letter_n and_o then_o the_o next_o add_v and_o so_o on_o till_o the_o whole_a letter_n be_v finish_v that_o the_o child_n may_v know_v how_o and_o where_o each_o letter_n be_v to_o be_v begin_v and_o make_v after_o that_o let_v there_o be_v several_a line_n of_o small_a letter_n and_o the_o like_a of_o capital_n and_o last_o copy_n of_o joyned-hand_n all_o well_o write_v or_o cut_v with_o the_o due_a stroke_n of_o a_o neat_a mix_a hand_n which_o be_v now_o most_o in_o fashion_n easy_o learn_v and_o best_a for_o general_a use_n then_o let_v the_o child_n with_o a_o good_a pen_n and_o the_o best_a red_a ink_n go_v over_o the_o letter_n and_o make_v they_o red_a and_o so_o proceed_v to_o the_o whole_a letter_n and_o then_o to_o the_o join_v only_o at_o the_o first_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o the_o father_n tutor_n or_o some_o one_o that_o can_v write_v pretty_a well_o shall_v show_v the_o child_n how_o to_o hold_v his_o pen_n and_o guide_v his_o hand_n for_o two_o or_o three_o week_n and_o not_o suffer_v he_o to_o run_v rude_o and_o
