Ch. 17.         261

 

If we follow this method, we must have a care, never to use these monosyllables, except when the order in which they follow one another in the expression of the secret, requires that they be used.  Further, it is to be observed that, for the particles Das, dein, der, dich, tin, nicht, und, unt, etc.  such monosyllables only as are nouns may be substituted in the table, while the other parts of speech, such as pronouns, verbs, adverbs, etc., may be omitted.  The matter will be made clearer by an example: Es ist ein grosser Pracht ben ihm/ darvon nicht genueg zu sagen noch zu schreiben:  Die Armuht hat menig frommen noch Schub von ihm zu hoffen:  Gonst verthut er viel im Fewer/ mit der Ulchymen: Uber es fehret doch alles in die lufft darvon.
