evydent_a both_o to_o man_n of_o judgement_n and_o learning_n but_o chief_o to_o man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o experience_n that_o youth_n and_o young_a thing_n always_o have_v be_v be_v and_o ever_o

by_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o education_n be_v oft_o time_n utter_o change_v and_o alter_v to_o the_o contrary_n the_o history_n of_o socrates_n do_v approve_v it_o the_o memory_n of_o

according_a to_o his_o kind_n yea_o though_o he_o be_v beat_v unto_o it_o from_o his_o master_n heel_n right_o sharp_o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o belief_n what_o a_o wonderful_a great_a force_n and_o

be_v teach_v and_o love_o cherish_v and_o lewd_a and_o loose_a demeanour_n forbid_v and_o sharp_o punish_v the_o child_n which_o be_v always_o sure_a to_o taste_v and_o receive_v the_o great_a

the_o smart_n of_o correction_n you_o shall_v then_o have_v feel_v those_o comfort_n which_o happy_a parent_n receyve_v from_o their_o good_a and_o honest_a child_n and_o never_o have_v know_v those_o

my_o silly_z cousin_n your_o wife_n carry_v on_o with_o a_o fond_a love_n and_o a_o foolish_a affection_n which_o evermore_o fall_v out_o to_o be_v the_o child_n utter_a destruction_n you_o both_o
