of metheg, especially if there be no fub-distinction before. 2. If metheg be not there, then is in place of Or, 3. Kadma on the firft Syllable of the Word. 9. This may pafs for a Rule, as well as a Note, to diftinguish between the Grammatical and Rhetorical Scheme, we are not to seek for Figures, becaufe it may be fo: As we are never to leave the proper and native Signification of a word, when we can make Senfe by it, to take up a Metaphorical, or borrowed one: fo we are never to leave the proper and ufual Confecution, fo long as we can make Sense by it, which is this first Scheme. And hence we are not in Parfing by thefe Rules, to expect new Rays of Light, and flights of Fancy, but a Confirmation to what we enjoy of Light that is Truth, by this Touchstone alfo, and fo when the Points and Verfe agrees, they may be fet down to confirm it, without further notice. 10. This is a Rule alfo, and one of the greateft, but is pertinently added to the Table for Explication, fince the Table or Scheme is its Object. The different manner of Confecution is obfervable; for inftance, Sometimes the little or greater Lord ftands in their Subordination, exactly as they appear. Sometimes it is cross the Scheme in great variety,
