Of Capital or Great Letters in Writing

Of Capital or Great Letters in writing.

They have in the beginning of words their peculiar uses: noting not only proper names of men, cities, callings, as Ambrose, Daniel, London, York, Mercer, or Grocer; but dignities and offices, as Highness, Lord Mayor, your Honor or Worship, with the names of arts, as Grammar, Rhetoric, Writing, Music, and Arithmetic. The beginnings of every verse and sentence ought to be a capital, as I go, I am, I will, &c. Great letters are likewise to be used in emphatic and remarkable words, as God said to Moses, I AM, has sent you. Whole sentences are emphatic: as JEHOVAH THE BRANCH, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS; and such like often found in the OLD TESTAMENT, or the NEW. To begin a title of a book ought to be in great letters, as the WHOLE BOOK OF PSALMS, &c.
