home their Children being so disordered by them whilst they are with them frequently occasioning more troubl and vexattion at School than all the rest 3. Masters or Parents having thus committed their charge to fitting Teachers they must likewise have a care to send them constantly at all School-hours which in all well ordered Schools is seven in the morning and one in the afternoon at the farthest and what they have learned in the School every day to hear them repeat it every night as they were taught it not desiring to change their School teacher except upon very good caus nor their Books without the Advice of the Teachers therein not wishing too hasty or speedy a progress but to giv time and leasure and they will learn with much more judgement and certainty in far less time than Parents can expect for Parents neglect in these things causeth great delay and hinderance in their Childrens learning 2. There are four things required in Learners 1. Lov of Parent● Teachers and learning 2. Obedience and Submission unto all 3. Attention and heed to what is taught 4. Study and Industry in their Books 3. All Teachers especially those who first enter the learners of our English Tongue are to giv heed unto four things 1 That they be painfull and diligent therein 2 That they have skill and ability to perform the same 3 Discipline and Government 4 A right way and Method in teaching 1. That they be painfull and diligent in the performance of their charge without which no desired end can be attained in pursuance whereof they are to be very zealous for the glory of God the edification of his Church and a laudabl education of youth for which purpose they must follow their School attentivly without the least remissness therein and that continually all School-hours not taking the least time either to study any other thing or to read other books than in the carefull hearing of their Scholars Lessons or exercise not omitting any form or any Scholar hearing them all with leasure care and heed 2. Skill it is besides my business and mine Intentions herein to giv directions to the great and learned profest Grammar-Schoolmasters of our Nation that they may gain skill by my help my aim and undertaking herein being only at an Instruction of those who undertake the teaching of English and are willing to be perswaded to make use of this my way wherein it is as yet impossibl for any Man to be as apprehensiv as my self it being an Invention which I have made my main business this last eleven years and upwards those therefore that are willing to be so acquainted herein as to make use thereof in teaching others first they must carefully read over and seriously study all these several pieces so as they may fully understand the Method and discern the scope thereof but especially in the Rules of Syllabication and these present Directions all which will easily be done by diligent observation and must be had before they venter upon teaching thē to others after which they may find therein abundance of profit and delightful recreation and thereby be fully inabled for so laudabl an undertaking as the teaching thereof 3. Discipline and Government All things without this are various fickl and unsteady without which no School can ever be ordered aright therefore when the Teacher hereof hath got skill if he purpose to make use of this way in teaching his next care must be orderly to govern and rule his Scholars as much as in him lies keeping them in a knowledg of themselvs and their business with fitting Reverence and respect to all their betters and Superiours but especially unto all those under whose care and charge they stand and more particularly their Teachers But to speak more home who ever you be that are willing to entertain and make use of this cours your next buisiness will be if your number of Scholars will bear it to divide them all into four Forms which for brevities sake I call the highest higher lower and lowest Forms wherein hearing and teaching them in a Grammar School way you have but if your number will amount to so many four lessons to hear in your whole English School matching them in their forms and places therein according to their several strengths and abilityes to take and conceiv Learning which you shall see more plainly and fully in the manner and Method of Teaching Having thus placed them in their proper Classes therein draw them on by Emulation Privileges and Immunities but in case these as in som they will not cannot prevail then by punishments 1 By Emulation setting those that learn best and labour hardest highest in their Form by this you shall oftentimes have one form turned and changed up and down in one Lesson saying Children taking more delight in nothing than in winning places 2. By Privileges and Immunities let that Boy that coms first to School in the Morning bear the name of Captain of the School that day and every boy that coms first of his Form Captain of his Form for that day none having power to win the Capts place for his day except he miss twice for his once that strives for his place It will also be an excellent thing to have for each Form a Ferular provided which every Capt. is to take at his first comming in the morning and ever after so long as he keeps it to observ diligently who amongst his Form-fellows first plays talks makes a nois loiters or otherwise neglects his Book and to giv it to him with a smart clap on the hand he that receivs it doing the like and so the rest but if at any time any one shall observ the Custos of his Form to neglect his duty herein let him take the ferular frō him giving to the Custos two smart claps on the hand for his so mis-doing But here note that it will breed an iaconvenience to suffer the same Boy to be Capt. two dayes together though he come first both dayes Let also that Boy that comes to School first if unwash't uncomb'd or undress't be denyed the priviledg of being Cap. whether it be in the School or in his Form without power to win places before he be washt comb'd and dress't Your Scholars being thus marshall'd disciplined and ordered keep them constantly and continually labouring their books saying their Lessons or performing their exercise till they depart School and in their going out let every Boy stand in his place repeat a full point or claus in the Elements of the English tongue wherein when any one makes too long a stay or paus before he begin to go on where his Foreman left let him that takes it up first go out in his place and thus in order through all the rest every Scholar going out of the School in his Order with Civility and Manners 4.
