it_o fare_v many_o time_n with_o we_o that_o we_o go_v long_o to_o school_v in_o divinity_n and_o yet_o never_o good_a divine_n as_o it_o fare_v in_o the_o school_n of_o rhetoric_n whereas_o if_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o scholar_n profit_v not_o as_o aristotle_n say_v he_o shall_v never_o be_v good_a orator_n therefore_o moses_n say_v god_n give_v you_o not_o a_o heart_n to_o understand_v eye_n

may_v say_v when_o they_o have_v apply_v all_o their_o labour_n and_o do_v the_o best_a they_o can_v to_o make_v their_o scholar_n learned_a yet_o profit_v nothing_o then_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o

he_o teach_v but_o in_o themselves_o as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o text_n for_o he_o use_v now_o the_o rod_n of_o persecution_n punish_v they_o beat_v they_o yea_o and_o kill_v they_o because_o they_o will_v not_o learn_v the_o thing_n he_o teach_v they_o yea_o further_o he_o show_v that_o his_o pleasure_n be_v they_o shall_v choose_v the_o good_a 19_o and_o leave_v the_o ill_a to_o be_v in_o
