His second care in the choice of _Letters_ is, That they be deep _Cut_; for then they will _Print_ clear the longer, and be less subject to entertain _Picks_. His third care, That they be deep sunck in the _Matrices_ least the bottom line of a _Page_ Beard. Yet though they be deep sunk, His care ought to be to see the Beard also well cut off by the _Founder_. And a Fourth Care in the choice of _Letter_ is, That his _Letter_ be Cast upon good Mettal, that it may last the longer. Of each Body he provides a _Fount_ suitable to such sorts of Work as he designs to do; But he provides not an equal weight of every _Fount_; Because all these Bodies are not in equal use: For the _Long-Primmer_, _Pica_ and _English_ are the Bodies that are generally most used; And therefore he provides very large _Founts_ of these, _viz._ of the _Long-Primmer_ in a small _Printing-House_, Five hundred Pounds weight _Romain_ and _Italica_, whereof One hundred and fifty Pounds may be _Italica_. Of the _Pica_ and _English_, _Roman_ and _Italica_, Eight, Nine hundred, or a Thousand Pounds weight: when as of other _Founts_ Three or Four hundred Pounds weight is accounted a good _Fount_: And of the _Cannon_ and _Great-Cannon_, One hundred Pounds or somewhat less may serve his turn; Because the common use of them is to set Titles with. Besides _Letters_ he Provides Characters of Astronomical Signs, _Planets_, _Aspects_, _Algebraical_ Characters, Physical and Chimical Characters, _&c._ And these of several of the most used Bodies. He Provides also _Flowers_ to set over the Head of a _Page_ at the beginning of a Book: But they are now accounted old-fashion, and therefore much out of use. Yet _Wooden-Borders_, if well Drawn, and neatly Cut, may be _Printed_ in a Creditable Book, As also, _Wooden-Letters_ well Drawn and neatly Cut may be used at the beginning of a _Dedication_, _Preface_, _Section_, _&c._ Yet instead of _Wooden Letters_, _Capitals_ Cast in Mettal generally now serves; because but few or good _Cutters_ in _Wood_ appear. He also provides _Brass-Rules_ of about Sixteen Inches long, that the _Compositer_ may cut them into such Lengths as his Work requires. In the choice of his _Brass-Rules_, he examines that they be exactly _Letter high_; for if they be much too high, they may cut through _Paper_, _Tinpan_ and _Blankets_ too; And if they be but a little too high, not only the Sholder, or Beard, on either side them will _Print_ black; but they will bear the _Plattin_ off the _Letters_ that stand near them, so that those _Letters_ will not _Print_ at all: And if they be too low, then the _Rules_ themselves will not _Print_.
