difference_n between_o those_o school_n old-testament_n and_o these_o university_n as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n so_o chief_o in_o this_o that_o in_o those_o school_n of_o the_o prophet_n name_v by_o he_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n free_o teach_v the_o youth_n who_o come_v willing_o to_o they_o to_o learn_v especial_o in_o the_o corrupt_a time_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n i_o say_v they_o teach_v they_o only_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o of_o the_o other_o prophet_n then_o extant_a and_o no_o heathenish_a knowledge_n or_o discipline_n of_o the_o gentile_n at_o all_o and_o these_o kind_n of_o school_n begin_v early_o in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o father_n before_o the_o flood_n and_o the_o patriarch_n after_o all_o teach_v their_o child_n and_o family_n the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o so_o each_o of_o their_o family_n be_v such_o a_o school_n and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v at_o uncertainty_n in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v manifest_a what_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v by_o that_o which_o god_n himself_o say_v of_o abraham_n gen._n 18.19_o i_o know_v abraham_n say_v god_n that_o he_o will_v command_v his_o child_n and_o household_n after_o he_o that_o they_o keep_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o do_v justice_n and_o judgement_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o abraham_n doctrine_n to_o his_o family_n and_o this_o be_v far_o confirm_v by_o that_o of_o asaph_n psal._n 78.2.3.4_o where_o he_o say_v i_o will_v open_v my_o mouth_n in_o a_o parable_n i_o will_v utter_v dark_a saying_n of_o old_a which_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o know_v and_o our_o father_n have_v tell_v we_o we_o will_v not_o hide_v they_o from_o their_o child_n show_v to_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o

child_n from_o one_o generation_n to_o another_o to_o wit_n not_o vain_a philosophy_n and_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o heathen_n but_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o strength_n and_o wonderful_a work_n this_o also_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o practice_n of_o jehosaphat_n king_n of_o judah_n who_o send_v his_o prince_n with_o the_o levite_n up_o and_o down_o throughout_o judah_n

say_v moses_n of_o old_a time_n have_v in_o every_o city_n they_o that_o preach_v he_o be_v read_v in_o the_o synagogue_n every_o sabbath_n day_n so_o that_o the_o faithful_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n during_o all_o the_o old-testament_n have_v the_o chief_a care_n in_o their_o school_n to_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n among_o they_o in_o a_o right_a sense_n according_a to_o the_o

wherefore_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n bring_v in_o the_o philosophy_n or_o doctrine_n of_o the_o heathen_n into_o their_o school_n to_o teach_v that_o to_o their_o son_n

of_o the_o egyptian_n to_o this_o i_o reply_v answ._n but_o do_v moses_n ever_o teach_v any_o of_o that_o learning_n in_o the_o church_n or_o publish_v any_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o or_o do_v
