The Parts of a _Punch_ are already described in §. 13. ¶. 1. of this Volumne; and so is the Body: But the several Terms that relate to the Face of Letters are not yet defined. Now therefore you must note, that the Body of a Letter hath four principal Lines passing through it (or at least imagined to pass through it) at Right Angles to the Body; _viz._ The Top-Line, The Head-Line, The Foot-Line, and The Bottom-Line. Between two of these Lines is contained the Heighth of all Letters. These are called _Lines_, because the Tops, the Heads, the Feet and the Bottoms of all Letters (when Complicated by the _Compositor_) stand ranging in these imagin’d Lines, according as the Heighth and Depth of each respective Letter properly requires. The Long-Letters are (as I told you in §. 13. ¶. 1. of this Volumne) contained between the Top and Bottom-Lines, The Ascending Letters are contained between the Top and Foot-Lines, The Descending Letters are contained between the Head and Bottom-Lines, and The Short-Letters are contained between the Head and Foot-Lines. Through what Parts of the Body all these Lines pass, you may see by the Drafts of Letters, and the following Descriptions. What the Long-Letters, Ascending Letters, and Short-Letters are, I shewed in the afore-cited ¶. Therefore I shall now proceed to particular Terms relating to the Face. As, 1. The Topping, is the straight fine Stroak or Stroaks that lie in the Top-Line of Ascending Letters: In _Roman_ Letters they pass at Right Angles through the Stems; but in _Italicks_, at Oblique Angles to the Stems; as you may see in the Drafts of Letters, B, _B_, H, _H_, I, _I_, _&c._ 2. The Footing, is the straight fine Stroak or Stroaks that lie in the Foot-Line of Letters, either Ascending or Descending. In _Romans_ they pass at Right Angles through the Stem, but in _Italicks_, at Oblique Angles; as you may see in B, _B_, H, _H_, I, _I_, _&c._ 3. The Bottom-Footing, is the straight fine Stroaks that lie in the Bottom-Line of Descending Letters. In _Romans_ they pass at Right Angles through the Stem; but in _Italicks_ at Oblique Angles; as you may see p, _p_, q, _q_. 4. The Stem is the straight Fat Stroak of the Letter: as in B, _B_, the straight Stroak on the Left-Hand is the Stem; and I, _I_, is all Stem, except the Footing and Topping. 5. Fat Stroaks. The Stem or broad Stroak in a Letter is called Fat; as the Right Hand Stroak in A, and part of the great Arch in B, are Fat Stroaks. 6. Lean Stroaks, are the narrow fine Stroaks in a Letter; as the Left Hand Stroak of A, and the Right Hand Stroak of V are Lean. 7. Beak of Letters, is the fine Stroak or Touch that stands on the Left Hand of the Stem, either in the Top-Line, as b d h, _&c._ or in the Head-Line, as i, m, n, _&c._ Yet f, g, [s], _f_, _g_, [_s_] have Beaks on the Right Hand of the Stem.
