8147Century II.
There is found a Similitude between the Sound that is made by Inani-
11200 mate Bodies, or by Animate Bodies, that have no Voice Articulate, and di-
vers Letters of Articulate Voices;
and commonly Men have given ſuch
names to thoſe Sounds as do allude unto the Articulate Letters.
As Trem-
bling of Water hath reſemblance with the Letter L.
Quenching of Hot Metals
with the Letter Z.
Snarling of Dogs with the Letter R. The Noiſe of Scritch-
Owls with the Letters Sh.
Voice of Cats with the Dipthong Eu. Voice of
Chucko s with the Dipthong Ou.
Sounds of Strings with the Letters Ng. So
thatif a Man (for curioſity or ſtrangeneſs ſake) would make a Puppet, or
other dead Body, to pronounce a word:
Lethim conſider on the one part,
the Motion of the Inſtruments of Voice;
and on the other part, the like Sounds
made in Inanimate Bodies;
and what Conformity there is, that cauſeth the
Similitude of Sounds;
and by that he may miniſter light to that effect.
