not_o the_o fear_n of_o be_v punish_v if_o one_o say_v it_o ill_o the_o fretfulness_n for_o have_v be_v punish_v keep_v child_n always_o alarm_v and_o make_v they_o loose_v a_o great_a part_n of_o

not_o to_o be_v punish_v as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v but_o for_o action_n repugnant_a to_o justice_n and_o that_o will_v not_o only_o serve_v to_o cause_v they_o to_o make_v a_o great_a distinction_n of_o those_o kind_n of_o duty_n but_o also_o to_o bind_v they_o the_o more_o to_o the_o observance_n of_o they_o in_o that_o the_o punishment_n become_v more_o rare_a they_o accustom_v themselves_o

well_o the_o sure_a as_o the_o better_a not_o to_o put_v ourselves_o upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o multiply_v those_o kind_n of_o chastisement_n and_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v that_o they_o be_v cut_v off_o when_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n be_v so_o you_o may_v make_v child_n understand_v reason_n in_o other_o even_o painful_a thing_n as_o the_o learning_n to_o read_v and_o to_o

thereof_o be_v little_o less_o necessary_a to_o they_o it_o be_v therefore_o very_o easy_a to_o teach_v they_o the_o latin_a tongue_n after_o this_o manner_n and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n in_o this_o easiness_n but_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o know_v as_o much_o latin_a as_o needs_o to_o entertain_v they_o with_o that_o latitude_n and_o freedom_n which_o be_v requisite_a you_o must_v know_v to_o play_v and_o to_o speak_v serious_o in_o latin_a to_o entertain_v they_o during_o the_o two_o first_o two_o year_n with_o whatever_o may_v be_v incident_a in_o the_o most_o familiar_a

that_o tongue_n and_o to_o say_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v exact_a both_o for_o the_o word_n and_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v concur_v for_o this_o latin_a converse_n with_o child_n and_o for_o make_v they_o speak_v according_a to_o their_o capacity_n and_o with_o all_o desirable_a freedom_n this_o be_v difficult_a enough_o in_o general_n because_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o find_v many_o that_o well_o understand_v even_o their_o mother-tongue_n to_o that_o extent_n and_o so_o particular_o and_o because_o in_o the_o latin_a there_o be_v difficulty's_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o that_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n habit_n utensil_n manner_n politic_n government_n religion_n etc._n etc._n have_v be_v changged_a and_o some_o art_n invent_v since_o the_o latin_a tongue_n have_v cease_v to_o be_v vulgar_a it_o be_v hard_a enough_o to_o know_v how_o to_o express_v all_o those_o thing_n in_o that_o language_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o find_v many_o thing_n in_o antiquity_n which_o have_v a_o great_a affinity_n with_o our_o novelty_n and_o that_o when_o we_o find_v none_o such_o we_o must_v be_v allow_v to_o form_v word_n after_o the_o model_n and_o by_o the_o analogy_n of_o what_o be_v ancient_a and_o this_o have_v be_v very_o well_o observe_v by_o those_o that_o have_v instruct_v this_o

almost_o nothing_o whether_o great_a or_o small_a common_a or_o particular_a which_o may_v not_o be_v find_v in_o those_o author_n cahp._n vii_o that_o this_o way_n be_v short_n it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o but_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o teach_v latin_n must_v be_v short_a since_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o consider_v how_o much_o it_o be_v short_a than_o the_o ordinary_a method_n and_o how_o important_a it_o be_v not_o to_o employ_v much_o time_n in_o learning_n latin_n this_o little_a boy_n have_v learn_v all_o he_o know_v within_o the_o space_n of_o two_o year_n viz._n from_o two_o year_n old_a to_o four_o and_o he_o will_v know_v more_o if_o a_o child_n of_o that_o age_n be_v capable_a to_o understand_v more_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v moraly_a certain_a that_o except_v the_o particular_a term_n of_o art_n and_o science_n he_o may_v know_v all_o the_o rest_n before_o he_o shall_v have_v attain_v the_o age_n of_o nine_o year_n which_o will_v be_v but_o six_o year_n in_o all_o during_o which_o time_n one_o may_v teach_v this_o child_n and_o any_o other_o as_o many_o thing_n as_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v in_o so_o small_a a_o time_n so_o as_o the_o language_n which_o he_o learn_v shall_v take_v up_o no_o time_n nor_o retard_v at_o all_o the_o other_o knowledge_n you_o shall_v instill_v into_o he_o to_o which_o if_o you_o add_v that_o all_o that_o which_o one_o can_v have_v do_v during_o all_o that_o time_n will_v have_v be_v to_o teach_v he_o the_o same_o thing_n e._n g._n in_o french_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n will_v cost_v he_o no_o more_o but_o so_o much_o time_n precise_o as_o he_o shall_v employ_v to_o learn_v so_o much_o french_a as_o one_o know_v of_o it_o at_o the_o go_v out_o of_o the_o college_n but_o now_o i_o think_v not_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o a_o child_n altogether_o leave_v at_o the_o age_n of_o nine_o year_n to_o his_o mother-tongue_n may_v not_o learn_v in_o two_o year_n at_o least_o as_o much_o french_a as_o one_o know_v of_o it_o at_o the_o go_v out_o of_o the_o class_n or_o form_n at_o the_o age_n of_o 15._o or_o 16._o year_n thus_o the_o latin_a will_v cost_v he_o but_o two_o year_n and_o it_o may_v be_v it_o will_v cost_v he_o much_o less_o for_o have_v be_v to_o see_v this_o little_a boy_n since_o the_o write_n of_o this_o i_o have_v find_v that_o he_o know_v already_o a_o great_a many_o french_a word_n which_o he_o take_v delight_n to_o speak_v and_o that_o he_o will_v find_v a_o great_a facility_n in_o learning_n the_o rest_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v desire_v this_o be_v so_o it_o may_v be_v affirm_v that_o the_o latin_a will_v almost_o take_v up_o none_o of_o his_o time_n since_o he_o will_v not_o learn_v the_o less_o french_a and_o that_o he_o will_v increase_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n in_o the_o same_o time_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v he_o to_o learn_v french_a and_o also_o that_o he_o will_v not_o the_o less_o know_v all_o sort_n of_o other_o thing_n it_o be_v certain_a therefore_o that_o this_o way_n of_o learning_n latin_n be_v far_o short_a than_o any_o other_o which_o advantage_n be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o considerable_a in_o this_o present_a age_n because_o not_o only_a history_n increase_v every_o day_n but_o there_o be_v also_o invent_v many_o new_a art_n

number_n and_o vastness_n of_o thing_n desirable_a to_o be_v know_v or_o to_o lengthen_v life_n shall_v want_v matter_n to_o employ_v it_o as_o long_o as_o it_o shall_v last_v and_o how_o those_o who_o avow_v that_o latin_a may_v be_v learn_v till_o the_o age_n of_o seven_o year_n doubt_n whether_o there_o will_v be_v matter_n enough_o of_o more_o consequence_n than_o the_o latin_a tongue_n to_o take_v up_o the_o time_n from_o seven_o year_n to_o fifteen_o for_o if_o you_o be_v only_o in_o pain_n how_o to_o employ_v they_o without_o change_v the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o instruct_v child_n in_o learning_n you_o may_v give_v they_o to_o read_v from_o time_n to_o time_n not_o only_o some_o of_o the_o familiar_a letter_n or_o oration_n of_o cicero_n as_o be_v usual_a but_o also_o his_o book_n of_o oratory_n and_o all_o his_o philosophical_a work_n wherein_o there_o be_v so_o much_o matter_n to_o learn_v and_o study_v beside_o quintilian_n terence_n the_o commentary_n of_o caesar_n pliny_n the_o young_a livy_n sallust_n columella_n tacitus_n pliny_n the_o elder_a etc._n etc._n then_o virgil_n and_o some_o select_a part_n of_o ovid_n horace_n etc._n etc._n further_o the_o modern_a historian_n as_o cambden_n strada_n masseus_n paulus_n jevius_n thuanus_n etc._n etc._n not_o to_o mention_v so_o many_o french_a book_n that_o may_v be_v recommend_v to_o their_o perusal_n during_o that_o time_n it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o those_o and_o such_o like_a book_n will_v employ_v a_o child_n until_o it_o be_v 17._o or_o 18._o year_n old_a 2._o that_o such_o

will_v prove_v a_o great_a ease_n to_o the_o parent_n that_o can_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n requisite_a to_o entertain_v tutor_n at_o home_n forasmuch_o as_o after_o their_o child_n shall_v have_v learn_v the_o latin_a tongue_n by_o use_n alone_o they_o may_v be_v place_v in_o college_n and_o there_o apply_v to_o read_v author_n and_o book_n write_v in_o the_o language_n of_o their_o own_o country_n and_o especial_o such_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o history_n thereof_o during_o the_o time_n which_o other_o child_n spend_v in_o the_o inferior_a school_n make_v they_o give_v a_o account_n of_o what_o they_o thus_o read_v in_o the_o interval_n of_o those_o school_n but_o as_o man_n be_v bear_v to_o know_v other_o thing_n beside_o fable_n rhetoric_n and_o history_n and_o since_o there_o be_v much_o knowledge_n more_o necessary_a and_o child_n be_v capable_a to_o be_v enter_v in_o such_o knowledge_n it_o will_v certain_o be_v find_v that_o that_o pretend_a vacuum_n how_o great_a soever_o it_o may_v appear_v will_v hardly_o be_v sufficient_a to_o learn_v what_o a_o child_n well_o bear_v can_n and_o aught_o to_o know_v before_o it_o be_v engage_v in_o any_o profession_n it_o will_v be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o equal_v the_o ancient_n by_o follow_v their_o example_n for_o they_o have_v not_o surpass_v we_o but_o in_o this_o that_o they_o employ_v in_o learning_n to_o design_n arithmetic_n geometry_n music_n exercise_n eloquence_n philosophy_n and_o arm_n that_o same_o time_n we_o spend_v in_o learning_n the_o rule_n of_o a_o language_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v their_o philosopher_n soldier_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o person_n of_o socrates_n and_o their_o general_n orator_n and_o philosopher_n as_o xenophon_n alexander_n caesar_n and_o so_o many_o other_o it_o will_v be_v proper_a to_o show_v in_o this_o place_n that_o child_n be_v capable_a to_o understand_v some_o of_o the_o science_n and_o even_o the_o most_o important_a and_o the_o most_o necessary_a for_o that_o purpose_n it_o will_v suffice_v to_o allege_v that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v try_v not_o only_o by_o the_o ancient_n as_o easy_o appear_v by_o read_v plato_n and_o aristotle_n where_o there_o be_v express_a place_n but_o also_o by_o the_o modern_n and_o that_o most_o of_o the_o science_n may_v be_v so_o propose_v that_o the_o study_n of_o they_o will_v rather_o be_v a_o divertisement_n than_o a_o labour_n but_o it_o will_v be_v fit_a to_o add_v that_o though_o we_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o foresee_v that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o by_o reason_n for_o those_o that_o be_v most_o tie_v to_o the_o teach_v of_o latin_a by_o rule_n must_v the_o more_o grant_n that_o they_o suppose_v child_n be_v capable_a to_o understand_v they_o but_o there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o those_o who_o teach_v grammar_n that_o know_v not_o that_o it_o contain_v 1._o the_o idea_n of_o the_o different_a part_n of_o discourse_n 2._o the_o rule_n for_o each_o of_o those_o different_a part_n 3._o the_o rule_n of_o their_o composition_n call_v syntaxe_n they_o must_v therefore_o judge_v child_n capable_a to_o understand_v all_o that_o even_o from_o the_o age_n of_o 6._o or_o 7._o year_n and_o indeed_o i_o have_v know_v some_o of_o that_o age_n who_o have_v pass_v through_o all_o those_o 3._o part_n and_o

especial_o those_o that_o object_n of_o which_o be_v sensible_a 1._o what_o concern_v the_o idea_n of_o the_o different_a part_n of_o discourse_n we_o must_v grant_v that_o they_o can_v be_v understand_v unless_o you_o make_v in_o general_a at_o least_o the_o distinction_n of_o substance_n accident_n place_n time_n action_n passion_n and_o of_o all_o the_o relation_n thence_o result_v which_o comprehend_v that_o part_n of_o the_o etaphysick_n we_o call_v category_n or_o predicament_n which_o we_o know_v to_o be_v very_a abstract_n they_o be_v only_o invent_v to_o facilitate_v the_o mental_a distinction_n of_o many_o thing_n which_o we_o common_o see_v confuse_v in_o nature_n now_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o it_o will_v be_v more_o easy_a to_o show_v to_o a_o child_n the_o rise_n

to_o make_v they_o pass_v to_o geography_n and_o the_o other_o science_n depend_v thereon_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o different_a inflection_n or_o accident_n of_o speech_n who_o see_v not_o that_o they_o depend_v on_o a_o thousand_o eqstraction_n from_o person_n time_n pass_v present_a and_o to_o come_v that_o the_o infinitive_n comprehend_v in_o its_o idea_n the_o abstraction_n of_o all_o the_o
