man_n be_v compose_v of_o mind_n and_o body_n the_o evil_n ply_v and_o bent_n that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o latter_a during_o one_o youth_n prove_v often_o in_o the_o sequel_n of_o one_o life_n a_o very_a great_a hindrance_n to_o virtue_n there_o be_v some_o who_o accustom_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o flit_a so_o impatient_a so_o hasty_a that_o they_o become_v uncapable_a of_o any_o regular_a employment_n o●hers_n prove_v so_o nice_a and_o ●ender_a that_o they_o can_v endure_v the_o least_o trouble_n or_o pain_n there_o be_v some_o who_o give_v themselves_o up_o to_o endless_a disquiet_n wherewith_o they_o be_v torment_v all_o their_o life_n time_n one_o may_v say_v that_o these_o be_v fault_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o they_o have_v their_o permament_n cause_n in_o the_o body_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o continue_v in_o they_o even_o when_o the_o mind_n appear_v absolute_o free_a from_o they_o for_o behold_v how_o for_o example_n sake_n many_o become_v subject_n to_o these_o irksome_a disquiet_n 31._o instruction_n aim_v at_o advance_v the_o mind_n to_o the_o high_a point_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o require_v neither_o memory_n imagination_n nor_o understanding_n but_o it_o cultivate_v all_o these_o in_o fortify_v rhem_n by_o one_o another_o judgement_n be_v help_v by_o memory_n and_o memory_n be_v refresh_v by_o imagination_n and_o judgement_n 32._o when_o either_o of_o these_o be_v want_v the_o defect_n must_v be_v supply_v by_o the_o rest_n thus_o the_o great_a address_n of_o a_o master_n be_v to_o apply_v those_o under_o his_o care_n to_o such_o study_n as_o they_o be_v natural_o most_v incline_v to_o there_o be_v some_o child_n almost_o only_o to_o be_v exercise_v in_o what_o depend_v on_o memory_n because_o their_o ●_z be_v strong_a and_o their_o judgement_n weak_a and_o there_o be_v other_o who_o ought_v immediate_o to_o be_v set_v on_o work_n about_o thing_n of_o judgement_n because_o they_o have_v more_o of_o that_o than_o of_o memory_n 33._o proper_o speak_v neither_o master_n nor_o outward_a instruction_n they_o give_v make_v learner_n comprehend_v thing_n these_o only_o expose_v they_o to_o the_o interior_a light_n of_o the_o mind_n by_o which_o alone_o they_o be_v comprehend_v so_o that_o when_o one_o do_v not_o meet_v with_o this_o light_n instruction_n prove_v as_o useless_a as_o it_o will_v be_v to_o expose_v and_o show_v picture_n in_o the_o dark_a 34._o the_o great_a wit_n have_v but_o limit_v understanding_n in_o they_o there_o be_v always_o some_o cloudy_a and_o darksome_a corner_n but_o the_o understanding_n of_o child_n be_v almost_o total_o over_o cast_v they_o discover_v only_o some_o little_a glimpse_n of_o light_n so_o that_o the_o great_a work_n consist_v in_o manage_v these_o small_a ray_n in_o increase_v they_o and_o place_v therein_o whatsoever_o one_o will_v make_v they_o comprehend_v 35._o hence_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v so_o difficult_a to_o give_v general_a rule_n for_o the_o instruction_n of_o any_o one_o because_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v proportion_v to_o that_o mixture_n of_o light_n and_o darkness_n which_o be_v various_a according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o wit_n particular_o in_o childen_n we_o must_v observe_v where_o day_n in_o they_o begin_v to_o break_v and_o thither_o we_o ought_v to_o bring_v whatever_o we_o will_v make_v they_o understand_v and_o thus_o several_a way_n must_v be_v try_v to_o get_v admittance_n into_o their_o mind_n and_o in_o those_o we_o must_v persist_v where_o we_o find_v the_o best_a success_n 36._o it_o may_v nevertheless_o in_o general_n be_v say_v that_o the_o light_n or_o knowledge_n of_o child_n depend_v very_o much_o on_o sense_n one_o ought_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a fasten_v to_o sensible_a thing_n the_o instruction_n that_o be_v give_v they_o and_o not_o only_o to_o make_v they_o enter_v by_o the_o ear_n but_o also_o by_o the_o eye_n there_o be_v no_o sense_n that_o make_v a_o more_o lively_a impression_n on_o the_o soul_n nor_o that_o form_n therein_o idea_n more_o distinct_a and_o clear_a 37._o laying_z hold_v on_o this_o hint_n one_o may_v aver_v that_o the_o study_n of_o geography_n be_v very_o fit_a for_o child_n because_o it_o depend_v much_o on_o the_o sense_n and_o they_o may_v be_v make_v to_o see_v by_o their_o eye_n the_o situation_n of_o town_n and_o
