folye_a of_o indiscrete_a father_n cap._n ix_o i_o do_v affirm_v sure_o in_o my_o opinion_n child_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o honest_a exercise_n by_o beat_v and_o stroke_n but_o by_o exhortation_n and_o reason_v for_o punishment_n be_v meet_a for_o villain_n and_o slave_n than_z for_o they_o that_o be_v frank_a or_o of_o gentle_a blood_n which_o with_o travail_n be_v harden_v and_o some_o time_n be_v afeard_a of_o the_o whip_n appli_v they_o to_o labour_v but_o child_n of_o gentyll_a nature_n take_v more_o profit_n by_o praise_n or_o light_a rebuke_n than_o by_o stripe_n for_o praise_n steer_v they_o to_o worship_n and_o rebuke_n do_v withdraw_v they_o from_o folye_a wherefore_o it_o require_v at_o sundry_a time_n to_o myngle_v sharp_a word_n with_o praise_n after_o you_o have_v strong_o rebuke_v than_o to_o provoke_v they_o to_o shamefastness_n and_o eftsoons_o to_o revoke_v their_o courage_n with_o praise_n and_o therein_o nurse_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v which_o when_o they_o have_v make_v their_o child_n to_o weep_v furthewith_o with_o they_o do_v gyve_v unto_o they_o their_o pap_n thereby_o for_o to_o still_o they_o but_o beware_v gyve_v they_o not_o to_o many_o praise_n le●te_o they_o take_v thereby_o to_o moche_v courage_n and_o presumption_n and_o with_o to_o moche_v cockenayenge_a be_v spyll_v and_o lose_v i_o have_v know_v many_o fader_n who_o to_o moche_v love_n have_v cause_v that_o they_o love_v not_o their_o child_n but_o what_o may_v i_o say_v to_o tell_v it_o more_o playnly_a for_o where_o they_o make_v haste_n that_o their_o child_n may_v the_o soon_o excel_v other_o they_o do_v put_v unto_o they_o infynite_a labour_n whereof_o be_v werye_n and_o oppress_v with_o intolerable_a pain_n fynallye_o they_o find_v

remember_v that_o all_o our_o lyfer_n divide_v in_o to_o study_v and_o rest_n and_o therefore_o not_o only_a watch_n be_v necessary_a but_o also_o sleep_v not_o batayle_n only_o but_o also_o peace_n
