"Mr. Stops"

“ And remains within sight whilst you count one, two, three:
Tis us’d where the sense is complete, tho but part
Of the sentence you’re reading, or learning by heart.
As “Gold is deceitful: it bribes to destroy.”
“Young James is admired: he’s a very good boy.” ”

“ The CARET may be us’d by you;
As “This new book to Charles I send,
And hope to please my dearest friend.”
[Pg 12]
A Section, marked thus §.
This Gentleman of deep reflections,
Divides a subject into Sections;
Ideas ranging under heads,
As gardens are laid out in beds;
That o’er the whole the eye may move,
Survey the plan, & then approve. ”

“ Ellipsis is us’d where we letters leave out.
As k—t may be read for a knight.
The Parallels, Ob’lisk, & Daggers we find,
Like the ASTERISK only for ref’rence design’d.
[Pg 16]
