book_n mere_o latin_n seem_v a_o main_a cause_n why_o child_n make_v so_o little_a progress_n in_o they_o and_o with_o so_o little_a benefit_n or_o pleasure_n for_o common_o they_o peruse_v not_o

they_o 5._o whereas_o many_o that_o have_v taste_v the_o sweat_n of_o their_o own_o labour_n and_o be_v free_a in_o impart_v it_o to_o other_o have_v former_o translate_v certain_a school-book_n by_o which_o many_o hundred_o that_o have_v industrious_o use_v they_o to_o help_v themselves_o and_o other_o in_o the_o latin_a have_v receive_v much_o benefit_n i_o observe_v the_o present_a rarity_n of_o such_o book_n have_v make_v they_o excessive_a dear_a and_o therefore_o conceive_v it_o requisite_a to_o make_v they_o more_o common_a and_o that_o both_o the_o english_a a_o latin_a may_v be_v have_v under_o one_o i_o have_v set_v they_o down_o constant_o together_o 6._o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o sure_a if_o not_o the_o only_a way_n to_o avoid_v anglicism_n and_o other_o barbarism_n which_o be_v incident_a to_o child_n in_o make_v latin_a for_o where_o a_o rule_n many_o time_n can_v be_v have_v to_o direct_v they_o nor_o their_o dictionary_n be_v able_a to_o supply_v they_o with_o word_n and_o phrase_n their_o author_n may_v and_o it_o be_v undoubted_o better_a for_o a_o child_n to_o learn_v to_o speak_v well_o at_o the_o first_o than_o after_o he_o have_v get_v a_o

author_n have_v do_v 7._o i_o may_v allege_v further_o that_o these_o manner_n of_o translation_n may_v prove_v beneficial_a though_o not_o so_o necessary_a altogether_o to_o many_o at_o ripe_a year_n as_o well_o as_o to_o little_a boy_n viz._n 1._o to_o the_o weak_a sort_n of_o country_n school_n master_n that_o have_v no_o supply_n of_o book_n who_o may_v hence_o gain_v the_o true_a construction_n of_o a_o place_n which_o seem_v doubtful_a obscure_a or_o erroneous_a 2._o to_o young_a student_n who_o come_v not_o perfect_o ground_v to_o the_o university_n as_o it_o be_v meet_v who_o by_o use_v book_n translate_v may_v attain_v a_o copy_n of_o proper_a language_n without_o trust_v too_o much_o to_o dictionary_n which_o do_v ofttimes_o fail_v if_o not_o deceive_v they_o 3._o to_o those_o that_o have_v lose_v their_o latin_a tongue_n and_o will_v recover_v it_o by_o their_o own_o industry_n and_o last_o to_o they_o that_o after_o a_o little_a insight_n into_o it_o have_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o increase_v it_o but_o by_o these_o book_n which_o do_v serve_v upon_o my_o knowledge_n to_o many_o instead_o of_o private_a teacher_n and_o be_v affectual_a with_o a_o little_a direction_n now_o and_o then_o when_o the_o learner_n find_v himself_o at_o a_o loss_n touch_v the_o manner_n of_o translate_n i_o observe_v many_o man_n many_o mind_n and_o therefore_o

at_z once_o to_o reach_v the_o author_n true_a meaning_n and_o to_o condescend_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o young_a learner_n as_o for_o render_v of_o word_n grammatical_o i_o have_v sometime_o do_v it_o where_o other_o word_n will_v have_v seem_v to_o carry_v the_o child_n too_o far_o aside_o sometime_o i_o have_v purposely_o set_v down_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o latin_a as_o we_o express_v it_o in_o english_a discourse_n that_o a_o child_n may_v thereby_o be_v enforce_v more_o diligent_o to_o search_v out_o his_o way_n of_o construe_v and_o i_o find_v that_o child_n which_o have_v be_v exercise_v in_o vocabulary_n and_o grammar-rudiment_n will_v in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n be_v able_a to_o construe_v grammatical_o of_o themselves_o because_o the_o sense_n and_o grammar_n order_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n before_o hand_n direct_v they_o very_o ready_o to_o what_o they_o will_v say_v and_o they_o quick_o recall_v their_o own_o error_n i_o have_v therefore_o take_v the_o most_o care_n to_o make_v our_o english_a answer_n the_o latin_a in_o its_o propriety_n of_o word_n and_o phrase_n for_o to_o render_v the_o latin_a word_n for_o word_n will_v seem_v too_o

signification_n of_o word_n especial_o where_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o familiar_a unto_o they_o which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o main_a reason_n why_o so_o many_o have_v reject_v these_o more_o ancient_a and_o first_o school-book_n especial_o of_o late_a year_n and_o since_o our_o child_n be_v put_v to_o latin_a so_o early_o where_o place_n admit_v of_o a_o double_a sense_n i_o have_v
