And thus much may serve for stating the number, nature, signifi∣cation and use of this second kind of Grammatical Particle stiled Pronoun.

*Those Substitutive Particles, which serve to supply the room of some sentence or complex part of it, are stiled Interjections. These are by some denyed to be words, or any part of distinct speech, but only natural signs of our mental notions, or passions, expressed by such rude incondite sounds, several of which are common with us to Brute Creatures. And as all Nations of men do agree in these kind of na∣tural passions, so likewise do they very much agree in the signs or in∣dications of their mirth, sorrow, love, hatred, &c.

These kind of Particles are generally expressed by aspirated sounds, affectum enim notant,*& ideo confertus editur spiritus, because of that affection and vehemence, which is commonly denoted by them.

The last Combination may be stiled Social and Active, being never used by us when we are alone, but immediately tending to discourse with others, in which the party speaks with design to procure some mutation in his Hearers. These may be distinguished into such as are
