2^8 LETTER X. 



way is to try three or four of the higheft of them 

 thus. Though I find the Cypher o up at number 

 forty-four, yet it cannot poffibly ftand for the 

 Letter e^ becaufe there is not one three-lettered 

 Word in the Writing, whofe lafl Cypher is o, 

 whereas the word the muft be found more than 

 once, or even twice, in all Writings of this length. 

 Cypher q is higheft of all upon the Numerical 

 Table, 'viz, at Number forty-fix, but cannot 

 well prove the Letter e, becaufe there are no 

 more than four three-lettered Words in the whole 

 Writing that end with it, whereas the Cypher 7 

 is almoft equal to it in Table number, as well as 

 found at the end of fix three- lettered Words, 

 This being thoroughly confidered, I guefs the 

 Cypher 7 to ftand for the Letter e, and of courfe 

 that the fixteenth cyphered Word qo7 ftands for 

 the word the : But to make ftill farther proof, I 

 look out for a four-cyphered word which will fo 

 far anfwer it as to ftand for the word that ^ and 

 in this fearch I meet with the forty-eighth cypher- 

 ed Word qogq, concluding it to mean the afore« 

 faid Word that. Now to demonftrate both the 

 cyphered Words qo7 and qogq to ftand for the 

 words the and that^ I find the forty-ninth cypher- 

 ed Word thus qoys, fuppofing it to be the Word 

 they^y and which I am confirmed in, becaufe the 

 tenth cyphered Word qos is no lefs than feven 

 times in the Writing : And it is alfo full as cer- 

 tain.
