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

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.
