sample: THere are four kinds of Words, a Substantive, an Adjective, a Verb, and a Particle. I know there are but four kinds of Words, because there are but four kinds of Things to be signified by Words: For whatever is in the whole Universe, is either a Thing, or the Manner of a Thing, the Action of a Thing, or the Manner of an Action.
