This work offers a grammatical introduction to an universal hieroglyphic language, utilizing English signs and voices, while defining elements of English, Welsh, Greek, and Latin. It explores the limitations of speech in animals, suggesting that without rational assistance, their articulation is similarly constrained. The text posits that human will interacts with memory, producing articulated sounds through various organs involved in speech, including the lungs, larynx, and mouth. These sounds, both simple and complex, reflect the nature of ideas as perceived by humans. The metaphor of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is employed to represent the human voice, while also linking it to the intuitive state of knowledge and virtue.
