- Sundry short exact Rules for dividing Words of Two Syllables, with a pleasant Variety of pertinent Ex∣amples to each Rule, never to be forgotten.
- But as there is no General Rule but may be liable to some Exception, so the foregoing Rule is here contradicted in sundry Words wherein a Consonant placed in the middle of a Word between two Vowels is not always joined to the later Vowel, as in the former Examples, but sometimes to the former Vowel, as in the following Examples is to be observed.
- Thirdly, When two like Consonants come together in the middle of a Word between two Vowels, they are to be divided, as in the following Examples is ever to be observed.
- When two unlike Consonants come together in the middle of a Word between two Vowels, they are ever to be divided, as in the following Examples is plainly and particularly expressed.
- Lastly, Note, That when three or four Consonants come together in the middle of a Word between two Vowels, they are so to be divided as may best express the proper sound of the Word, for which there is no particular Rule to be prescribed, but the Reader's own Observation must direct him, for whom I have muster'd up the following Ex∣amples.

- Of Words of Four Syllables.
