This fourth table, as well as the fifth, are borrowed chiefly from Mr. Dyche, who has well distinguish'd those words in their spelling, which are distinguish'd, or different in their signification. Tho' the critics will complain this is not always the truest spelling, yet I think this way has a great advantage to prevent one word being mistaken for another; which is a thing of great moment in writing.
