these_o be_v the_o man_n who_o ordinary_o study_v the_o least_o swordman_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n of_o study_v which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o they_o a_o man_n who_o be_v natural_o

he_o be_v insufferable_a to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n he_o be_v a_o lion_n let_v loose_a he_o be_v a_o arm_a madman_n it_o be_v therefore_o of_o great_a moment_n that_o they_o who_o

often_o change_v yet_o they_o who_o have_v know_v they_o once_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o to_o seek_v especial_o if_o they_o be_v once_o well_o tell_v why_o some_o commodity_n be_v so_o dear_a in_o respect_n of_o other_o and_o the_o most_o ordinary_a cause_n of_o the_o change_n of_o price_n i_o shall_v also_o desire_v that_o a_o young_a man_n be_v soon_o instruct_v either_o by_o

the_o office_n of_o a_o master_n as_o the_o care_n of_o a_o good_a father_n or_o a_o affectionate_a tutor_n other_o study_n will_v assist_v it_o and_o it_o will_v help_v they_o to_o exercise_v the_o

they_o how_o much_o the_o roman_n do_v then_o esteem_v husbandry_n and_o a_o diligent_a application_n to_o their_o domestic_a affair_n this_o may_v be_v see_v more_o in_o those_o author_n which_o

of_o all_o even_o the_o most_o common_a thing_n of_o life_n this_o also_o may_v make_v the_o scholar_n much_o more_o capable_a of_o profit_v even_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n see_v that_o all_o which_o be_v account_v so_o mean_a and_o dull_a come_v from_o the_o simple_a and_o solid_a manner_n of_o that_o wise_a antiquity_n when_o no_o person_n disdain_v to_o labour_n more_o than_o he_o do_v to_o eat_v and_o this_o i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o israelite_n but_o whether_o the_o scholar_n shall_v read_v these_o author_n or_o the_o master_n relate_v to_o he_o what_o they_o say_v i_o will_v have_v he_o careful_a to_o make_v all_o thing_n very_o sensible_a and_o refer_v all_o to_o our_o own_o country_n usage_n and_o custom_n let_v we_o leave_v it_o to_o

not_o be_v discourage_v if_o they_o use_v some_o word_n which_o we_o may_v not_o understand_v provide_v that_o we_o know_v our_o way_n of_o management_n as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v they_o as_o for_o the_o law_n since_o it_o depend_v less_o upon_o the_o imagination_n jurisprudence_n and_o have_v more_o reason_v in_o it_o we_o shall_v wait_v till_o the_o mind_n be_v more_o accustom_a to_o attend_v
