Is of Breath vocalized : And thefe agdni more particularly^ are either 
f after they have piffed the Larynx) only in the Month ^ or elfe have paf- 
fage at the fame time through the JSfofe, So there are four Kinds of M^t^ 
ter , Breath Oral , Voice Oral ^ Breath Ore-Nafai , and Voice Ore- 
Nafal. 
Next, 'Tis?,o be examined. How many different -^mV^/^^^W can be 
made by feverai Motions andPoftures of the Organs in the Parts of the 
Mouth; which applied feveraliy to the Kinds of Matter, may make fe- 
verai Difcriminations of Sound to the Ear , i, e. feverai Letters, And of 
thefe (2iSX.oConf:,nmPs ^ viz. Letters made byAppulfe) our Author finds^ 
and hath defcribed 9. And if poflibly anymore may be found out ^ he 
judges it to be moQ: likely, that they wiii not recompence the Difcoverers 
pains, by being of ready and graceful ufe, but will b^ fitter tobecaftout 
among feverai others to which in iiis Scheme of Confonants he hath pre- 
Now by thefe 9 Articulations with Appulfe J there will be framed 
Confonants i'/^wW 9 ; FqcM 9- Nafo- fplrital g 5 Nafo-^v&cd g in all 
36. Th^nrefedingthofe, that prove not graceful ^ nor eafie to bepro- 
nc^^nced; viz. z Spiritals , 2 Nafo-fpiritals , and 6 Nafo-vocals , in ail 
17^ there will remain tp Confonants proper foruie, according to thede- 
fign of Letters. And if thofc, to whom thefe 19 Confonants (or about 
that number) appear'd andftood in fuch confus'd O^der, fome in Ter- 
naries, fome in Pairs, and forne Single , were themfelves put intofo 
much Confufion , and fo puzzled to give a Methodical and Natural Ac- 
compc of them , it is no matter of wonder. But now, looking upon them, 
as they lie in their Original Differences and Combinations ^^nA as they are fe* 
leded out of a Natural Stock of 9 Quaternions,or 4 Novenaries, *tis judged , 
that their Nature and Differences iie mofl plain and obvious to be under- - 
ftood. 
That which renders this Piece the more commmendable, mts ZJfefui- 
nefs , to which the Author hath excellently applied his ConSderations of this 
Subjeft; viz. The inJlmBing of Perfons Dedf and B^dmh, In the perfor- 
mance of which , he hath fifll: removed the great Ob jedions and Difficul- 
ties that lie in the way , and feem to difcourage that Defign , and to por° 
tend it infefible. Which done, he delivers thofe particulars , that give 
encouragement to that Undertaking ; which he doth from his own pra^ice 
therein ^ ic being certain , that foch a Work as this , is not to be perfe<Sdd 
by Srudy alone , b'lt maft and will receive many hints and helps (mt to be
