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 employment_n will_v be_v more_o beneficial_a to_o child_n than_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o language_n 3._o that_o it_o will_v be_v more_o please_a and_o delightful_a to_o they_o 4._o that_o it_o it_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 understand_v they_o now_o i_o say_v that_o whosoever_o be_v capable_a to_o enter_v into_o that_o knowledge_n by_o that_o way_n be_v capable_a also_o to_o enter_v into_o almost_o all_o scienec_n 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 and_o set_v of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o the_o other_o principle_n of_o cosmography_n which_o they_o may_v be_v direct_v to_o see_v without_o vex_v they_o with_o abstraction_n and_o afterward_o 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 difference_n of_o time_n number_n and_o person_n and_o that_o in_o the_o time_n give_v to_o it_o it_o be_v nevertheless_o infinitive_n that_o be_v indefinite_a because_o it_o contain_v in_o its_o idea_n the_o abstraction_n from_o all_o person_n that_o the_o distinction_n of_o those_o mood_n depend_v on_o the_o distinction_n which_o be_v between_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o simple_a indication_n and_o that_o of_o command_n and_o desire_v etc._n etc._n that_o the_o case_n of_o noun_n be_v at_o least_o as_o abstract_v as_o the_o mood_n of_o verb_n and_o yet_o more_o difficult_a to_o understand_v and_o this_o be_v so_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o a_o child_n will_v be_v more_o capable_a to_o understand_v history_n with_o some_o figure_n that_o the_o genealogy_n themselves_o who_o make_v one_o of_o the_o great_a difficulty_n thereof_o will_v not_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o he_o than_o the_o reduce_n of_o a_o derivative_a to_o its_o primitive_a call_v the_o investigation_n of_o the_o theme_n and_o that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v more_o ready_a to_o he_o to_o remember_v e.g._n that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o issue_n of_o robert_n count_n of_o clermont_n son_n of_o st._n lovy_v descend_v of_o hugh_n capet_n issue_v of_o childebrand_n son_n of_o charles_n martel_n bear_v of_o the_o marriage_n of_o ansbert_n and_o blitilde_n daughter_n of_o clotaire_n the_o first_o than_o to_o say_v that_o such_o a_o word_n be_v the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o singular_a number_n of_o the_o preter-plus-perfect_a tense_n of_o the_o subjunctive_a of_o the_o passive_a of_o such_o a_o verb_n in_o short_a there_o be_v not_o a_o child_n which_o you_o may_v not_o make_v comprehend_v soon_o the_o demonstration_n of_o that_o theorem_fw-la of_o geometry_n and_o of_o almost_o all_o other_o which_o say_v if_o two_o side_n be_v equal_a to_o two_o side_n and_o the_o angle_n to_o the_o angle_n the_o whole_a be_v equal_a than_o the_o simple_a term_n of_o the_o follow_a rule_n of_o syntax_n which_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o example_n of_o many_o other_o rule_n viz._n if_o two_o substantive_n meet_v of_o different_a gender_n and_o different_a person_n then_o the_o
