thing is to be noted without using any ordinary tedious spelling that most troublesome torture of wits which may wholly be avoyded by this Method For the often reading over the Book by those larger Descriptions of things and which are set after the Pictures will be able perfectly to beget a habit of reading II. The same Book being used in English in English Schooles will serve for the perfect learning of the whole English tongue and that from the bottome because by the aforesaid Descriptions of things the words and Phrases of the whole language are found set orderly in their own places And a short English Grammar might be added at the end clearly resolving the Speech already understood into its parts shewing the declining of the several words and reducing those that are joyned together undercertain Rules III. Thence a new benefit cometh that that very English translation may serve for the more ready and pleasant learning of the Latine tongue as one may see in this Edition the whole Book being so translated that every where one word answereth to the word over against it and the Book is in all things the same only in two idiomes as a man clad in a double garment And there might be also some Observations and Advertisements added in the end touching those things only wherein the Use of the Latine tongue differeth from the English For where there is no difference there needeth no advertisement to be given But because the first tasks of Learners ought to be little and single we have filled this first Book of training one up to see a thing of himself with nothing but rudiments that is with the chief of things and words or with the grounds of the whole world and the whole language and of all our Understanding about things If a more perfect description of things and a fuller knowledge of a language and a clearer light of the understanding be sought after as they ought to be they are to be found some where ese whither there will now be an easie passage by this our little Encyclopadia of things subject to the senses Something remaineth to be said touching the more cheerful use of this Book I. Let it be given to children into their hands to delight themselves withall as they please with the sight of the Pictures and making them as familiar to themselves as may be and that even at home before they be put to School II. Then let them be examined ever and anon especially now in the School what this thing or that thing is and is called so that they may see nothing which they know not how to name and that they can name nothing which they cannot shew III. And let the things named them be shewed not only in the Picture but also in themselves for example the parts of the Body Clothes Books the House Utensils e. IV. Let them be suffered also to imitate the Pictures by hand if they will nay rather let them be encouraged that they may be willing first thus to quicken the attention also towards the things and to observe the proportion of the parts one towards another and lastly to practise the nimbleness of the hand which is good for many things V. If any things here mentioned cannot be presented to the eye it will be to no purpose at all to offer them by themselves to the Scholars as colours relishes c. which cannot here be pictured out with ink For which reason it were to be wished that things rare and not easie to be met withall at home might be kept ready in every great School that they may be shewed also as often as any words are to be made of them to the Scholars Thus at the last this School would indeed become a School of things obvious to the senses and an Entrance to the School Intellectual But enough let us come to the thing it self The Translator to all judicious and industrious School-Masters Gentlemen THere are few of you I think but have seen and with great willingness made use of or at lest perused many of the Books of this wel-deserving Author Mr. Iohn Commenius which for their profitableness to the speedy attainment of a Language have been Translated in several Countries out of Latine into their own native tongues Now the general verdict after trial made that hath passed touching those formerly extant is this that they are indeed of singular use and very advantageous to those of more discretion especially to such as have already got a smattering in Latine to help their memories to retain what they have scatteringly gotten here and there and to furnish them with many words which perhaps they had not formerly read or so well observed but to yong Children whom we have chiefly to instruct as those that are ignorant altogether of most things and words they prove rather a more toyl and burden than a delight and furtherance For to pack up many words in memory of things not conceived in the mind is to fill the head with empty imaginations and to make the learner more to admire their multitude and variety and thereby to become discouraged then to care to treasure them up in hopes to gain more knowledge of what they mean He hath therefore in some of his later works seemed to move retrograde and striven to come neerer to the reach of tender wits and in this present Book he hath according to my judgement descended to the very Bottom of what is to be taught and proceeded as Nature it self doth in an orderly way first to exercise the Senses well by presenting their objects to them and then to fasten upon the Intellect by impressing the first notions of things upon it and linking them one to another by a rational discourse Whereas indeed We generally missing this way do teach children as we do Parrats to speak they know not what nay which is worse we taking the Way of teaching little ones by Grammar only at the first do pusle their imaginations with abstractive terms and secundary intentions which till they be somewhat acquainted with things and the words belonging to them in the language which they learn they cannot apprehend what they mean And this I guess to be the reason why many greater persons do resolve sometimes not to put a Child to School till he be at lest eleven or twelve years of age presuming that he having then taken notice of most things will sooner get the knowledge of the words which are applyed to them in any language But the gross misdemeanour of such children for the most part have taught many Parents to be hasty enough to send their own to School if not that they may learn yet at lest that they may be kept out of harms way and yet if they do not profit for the time they have been at School no respect at all being had of their years the Master shall be sure enough to bear the blame So that a School-master had
