would haue those with whom they haue to doe should be perfect at the first dashe and that they shoulde knowe in one day or in one moneth that which they cannot vnderstande them selues in a yeere There are also many fathers the fault of fathers and mothers tovvardes their children whiche make their children to dispayre because they presse and charge them aboue measure and require of them more then they are able As also to the contrary there are others which haue not such care and diligence to teach their children as they ought nor to keepe them vnder good discipline but let them haue so much their wil that they are quite marred and spoyled Ierome And therefore we shall haue iust occasion to sende the first to the schoole of the sea-kyne For they are more calues then the kyne and bullockes I say asmuch of the maisters of schools which know not to teach their scholers by good methoode and order As touching the other which endeuour theÌ„ selues nothing at all to teach their children I sende them vnto the schoole of the Crocodiles Crocodile if that beaste were not so cruel But yet neuerthelesse take away the crueltie yet she declareth that she wil not suffer her yong-ones except they haue courage and except they will robbe and steale And therefore the mother kylleth him which at his first going foorth he neither stealeth nor deuoureth eyther a frogge or a snayle or some litle grasse or some other such thing which commeth before him On the contrary she loueth the coragious and loueth them as Plutarke saith not with a foolishe affection as the foolishe mothers doe but thorow iudgement as the most wysest of the worlde haue vsed to do Although that that crueltie of the Crocodile is to be dispised yet neuerthelesse this is to be praysed that the mother is not so foolishe ouer her yong-ones that she supporteth them if they be other then they ought to be according to their kinde But we haue spoken sufficiently of the nature of beastes vpon the matter of good and euil housholders It nowe remaineth that we make an ende of this matter except Theophrastus wil say anoother thing for the confirmation hereof The instruction of saint Paull vnto fathers and mothers Theophrast I haue no other thing to say at this time but that Saint Paul geueth a very good rule vnto fathers and mothers vnto al those whiche haue charge of children yea in a fewe wordes when he sayde Ephe. 6.4 Ye fathers prouoke not your children to wrath but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lorde And in another place Collo 3.21 ye fathers prouoke not your children to anger least they be discouraged By these words he geueth the fathers and mothers wel to vnderstande what moderation they ought to vse towardes their children aswell to the ende they be not altogether discouraged and in dispaire as also to the ende they mar theÌ„ not thorow to great libertie For when he admonisheth them to bring theÌ„ vp in instructioÌ„ informatioÌ„ and correction he geueth them to vnderstaÌ„d that they ought not to bring theÌ„ vp in idlenesse and to let them doo what they list but to holde and kepe them vnder feare and correction Whereupon we haue to note that he sayth not onely bring them vp in instruction information but he addeth of the Lorde For there be agreat many whiche are very good housholders for to cause their children to learne siences artes and occupations for to become of some good countenaunce in the worlde and for to get them great honours and riches or at the least wise howe to get their liuing But they make none accompt to bring them vp in the feare of God and in the trewe knowledge of him and his worde without which as we haue alredie saide from the beginning that men are more beasts theÌ„ the brute beasts And therefore he that wil shewe him selfe a good housholder and a good father hauing trew care of his childreÌ„ must begin there For it is not written without cause Psal 111.10 Pro. 1.7.9.10 Galoa 1.16 That the feare of the Lorde is the beginning the foundation and head of al wisedome and he can neuer faile to do well please God which doth feare him And as touching that which Ierome sayde of the Crocodile there are many which follow her example and many more then is needefull The children of the Crocodile For if their children be not cruell and rauenors as they are they thinke them not to be their lawfull children but disauowe and forsake them as though they were not of their blood But we must not require of our children that they may be like vnto vs in our vices but that they we may be trewly reformed after the image of God and that we may rule al our life after the rule that he hath set foorth vnto vs in his worde Ierome Behold a verie good conclusion vpon which I thinke that Toby wil willingly stay him selfe with vs. Tobias I shoulde doe wrong if I shoulde resist it FJNJS

that that the least amongest them are those vnto whom he geueth most industrie and wysedome to the ende that by the same they may recompence the force and strength whiche is wanting in them Art not thou of mine opinion frend Ierome Ierome Experience teacheth vs that thou sayest But seeing we are entreed into talke of good housholders I thinke we haue one point to talke of whiche is very requisite not onely in al those whiche woulde be esteemed for good housholders but also in al those whiche woulde be accompted for humane men and not for beastes more inhumaine then the sauage and brute beastes The point of whiche I speake is touching the loue and amitie that the husband the wife ought to haue together and touching the care that the one ought to haue the one of the other The affection of fathers and mothers of families tovvardes ther families and in like maner the fathers and mothers towardes their children For if those vertues be not in fathers and mothers of families what can their housholdes be Now if it be a question of such vertues al the beastes generally as Plutark wittesseth do loue eÌ„tierly that which they ingender and bring forthe and cherish them carefully And if there be some of the male kynde which haue not that loue nor care yet it is alwayes founde in the females not onely among the terrestriall beastes but also among the aquatical seabeasts Wherfore seeing we are in hand with the schole of beasts we may yet send men thither touching that poynt For that cause but that I feare I shall wearie you I could declare vnto you a great manie of examples touching this matter of many beastes which haue a singular affection and industry in suche matters Tobias So that I may take pleasure in it I am wel assured that Theophrastus will also agree vnto it For I take you both for my masters Wherfore I am content to learne of you both whatsoeuer it shal please you to teach me Ierome The pygeons First of all I will speake of the pygeons both the male and feemale because we haue a good example in them of the Amitie which ought to be betwene the husband the wife and of the care that the one ought to haue the one of the other and afterwardes both of them togeather of the young ones which God geueth them For the cocke pygeons in this poynt differ from the nature of the male partridges for the males of the partridges breake their females eges fiinally their femals do loose them because they will not receiue them all the while they hatch And therefore they forsake them Tobias Then thou canst not sette them forth vnto vs for an example of good househoulders and good husbands Euil husbandes but rather for an example of euill husbands which loue not their wyues but as the whoremasters their whoores to wit for the onely cause of carnal pleasure that they may haue with them Ierome And therefore I set forth the male pygeons for a contrarye example Good husbandes For they doe take with their females a part of the care and paine that they must haue of their egges young For they kepe the eggs when nede is Also they feede their young And when the female tarieth ouer long in the feeldes they flappe them with their winges and compel them to come vnto their young Tobias All husbandes and wiues and all fathers and mothers of families do not agree so well together to bring vp their children and to keepe in good order their housholdes For it happeneth often tymes that the one layeth al the charge vpon the other For howe many husbandes are there whiche are euill housholders whiche haue no care at all of their housholdes neyther of their wyues and children but leaue al the charge vnto their wiues Howe many also are there of women that do the like towardes their husbandes But this is yet worse when that neyther the one nor the other do their dutie but let al alone not caring for any thing Ierome The svvallovves Plutarke The Swallowes also haue this propertie among other byrdes that they teach their yong so that they know howe to cast out their donge from their nest Tobias I thinke the other byrdes do the like Ierome It is very true that they are not so filthie as men and their yonge are not so defiled with their doung and fylth as the yong children are with theirs But yet neuerthelesse the Swallowe hath one singuler propertie herein more then the other birdes haue if we will geue credite vnto those whiche haue writteÌ„ of the nature of them Tobias We may better knowe that which the swallowe doth in suche a case then we may knowe of other byrdes because they dwel not so nere as the Swallowes Ierome It is very true And as touching the industrie to keepe their yong The partridge Plutarke the partridges vse in the same a great subtiltie For al the while that their yong ones caÌ„not yet fly for their yong age they accustom theÌ„ to lye vpon their backes to couer theÌ„ with mosse or leaues or with some other thing when the hunters are hard by them and in the meane tyme they leade the hunters to the other side and turne and flye as though it were paynefull vnto them and make as though they could not runne and they do it so long vntill they haue retyred and drawen the hunters very farre from their yongones Tobias Beholde a great subtiltie ioyned with a greatloue and care towardes her yong-ones Ierome That which we reade of the Hares The hares Plutarke to that same purpose is no lesse worthie to be wondred at For the hares before they betake them selues to their formes do carie their yong one in one place another in another place And some-times they seperate them a good forlong the one from the other to the ende that if paraduenture their come eyther man or dogge they are not al of them in like daÌ„ger And after that they haue made great scraping with their feete making a great leape they keepe them selues there and take their rest Tobias I would neuer haue thought that the hares had been so wyse and subtyl to keepe their yong-ones Ierome The hedge-hogs If the hare be wyse and subtil in keeping of her yong the Hedg-hogges are no lesse not onely for to prouide for theirs but also for to saue and defend them selues And therefore here what Plutarke hath written First he sayth that the subtiltie of the Hedg-hogge hath geuen place vnto this prouerbe A prouerbe of the fox of the hedg-hog The Fox hath many wyles but the Hedg-hogge knoweth one exellent Tobias It is also sayde that the Cat is more wylie then the Fox Ierome There is more reason of the saying of the Hedg-hogge For when the Fox pursueth him the Hedg-hogge rowleth him selfe as men say within his prickles as
