begin_v to_o teach_v child_n in_o the_o accedence_n and_o after_o that_o in_o grammar_n rule_n only_o learn_v they_o some_o few_o word_n by_o heart_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n child_n spend_v a_o

be_v first_o to_o be_v learn_v and_o therefore_o a_o true_a method_n will_v indicate_v instead_o of_o teach_v accedence_n and_o grammar_n rule_n to_o begin_v only_o with_o word_n teach_v child_n every_o day_n so_o many_o word_n and_o those_o at_o first_o such_o as_o be_v most_o frequent_o use_v and_o that_o without_o any_o toil_n of_o the_o master_n further_o than_o ask_v they_o after_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o what_o be_v latin_a for_o such_o a_o word_n and_o what_o be_v english_a for_o such_o a_o latin_a word_n and_o then_o make_v child_n one_o to_o examine_v another_o and_o to_o show_v they_o the_o way_n of_o find_v out_o the_o latin_a for_o english_a word_n and_o english_a for_o latin_a word_n in_o vocabulary_n or_o dictionary_n and_o thus_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o sport_n to_o bring_v they_o on_o till_o they_o have_v get_v a_o competent_a number_n of_o word_n which_o word_n they_o shall_v always_o be_v use_v as_o occasion_n offer_v one_o with_o another_o though_o they_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o as_o to_o the_o syntax_n thereof_o how_o to_o make_v they_o agree_v one_o with_o another_o i_o say_v a_o true_a method_n shall_v proceed_v after_o the_o aforesaidmanner_n now_o that_o i_o call_v a_o true_a method_n which_o be_v hint_v most_o what_o in_o the_o natural_a instinct_n of_o child_n in_o the_o learning_n their_o native_a tongue_n or_o any_o language_n they_o

know_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o syntax_n of_o those_o word_n or_o of_o put_v they_o into_o a_o form_n of_o speech_n thus_o if_o a_o child_n want_v beer_n he_o cry_v beer_n as_o well_o as_o he_o
