disorder_n for_o whereas_o child_n natural_o desire_v to_o be_v at_o work_n and_o in_o motion_n they_o be_v common_o force_v and_o plague_v to_o sit_v many_o year_n together_o as_o it_o be_v in_o prison_n for_o to_o learn_v to_o read_v write_v etc._n etc._n until_o they_o have_v get_v into_o their_o head_n not_o without_o great_a pain_n and_o trouble_n many_o of_o their_o school_n book_n by_o which_o mean_v these_o parent_n who_o have_v many_o child_n and_o no_o great_a estate_n be_v necessitate_v to_o use_v unjust_a way_n that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o pay_v for_o the_o education_n of_o their_o child_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o at_o school_n thing_n be_v thus_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o a_o way_n may_v not_o be_v find_v out_o whereby_o this_o great_a mischief_n and_o disorder_n may_v be_v prevent_v and_o youth_n better_o educate_v without_o burden_v on_o overcharge_v of_o their_o parent_n and_o for_o better_a service_n and_o profit_n to_o the_o public_a and_o government_n for_o see_v god_n himself_o have_v natural_o plant_v this_o hunger_n in_o youth_n he_o must_v also_o have_v ordain_v natural_a mean_n in_o order_n to_o the_o satisfy_n of_o the_o say_a hunger_n indeed_o he_o have_v give_v this_o hunger_n for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v satisfy_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o enquiry_n whether_o this_o very_a hunger_n itself_o will_v not_o afford_v we_o the_o true_a and_o best_a direction_n for_o to_o satisfy_v the_o same_o as_o we_o see_v that_o a_o child_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v bear_v seek_v for_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o mother_n to_o satisfy_v its_o hunger_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o will_v here_o set_v down_o brief_o in_o part_n what_o my_o own_o experience_n have_v teach_v i_o concern_v this_o matter_n we_o find_v that_o dog_n and_o other_o beast_n which_o have_v their_o peculiar_a nature_n and_o property_n when_o we_o desire_v to_o fit_v they_o for_o some_o service_n or_o other_o will_v not_o be_v force_v or_o by_o violence_n compel_v to_o the_o same_o we_o have_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o in_o a_o young_a water-spaniel_n that_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o take_v the_o water_n and_o fetch_v any_o thing_n thence_o who_o if_o he_o beat_v first_o forcible_o throw_v into_o the_o water_n it_o make_v he_o rich_a of_o it_o and_o will_v very_o hardly_o afterward_o be_v bring_v to_o take_v it_o but_o if_o the_o say_a spaniel_n by_o degree_n with_o bread_n or_o otherwise_o be_v allure_v into_o the_o water_n till_o he_o come_v beyond_o his_o depth_n and_o begin_v to_o swim_v of_o himself_o it_o by_o this_o mean_n become_v his_o delight_n and_o he_o belong_v for_o the_o word_n of_o command_n from_o his_o master_n to_o go_v into_o the_o water_n and_o the_o same_o be_v the_o case_n with_o child_n for_o neither_o be_v they_o easy_o bring_v to_o do_v or_o comprehend_v a_o thing_n by_o force_n or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o well_o and_o dexterous_o for_o nature_n in_o all_o thing_n will_v be_v free_a and_o without_o compulsion_n wherefore_o in_o the_o education_n of_o child_n we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o observe_v and_o have_v a_o care_n not_o to_o confound_v their_o sense_n and_o not_o to_o force_v that_o in_o through_o the_o sight_n which_o must_v enter_v and_o be_v comprehend_v by_o the_o ear_n and_o also_o that_o we_o do_v not_o separate_v or_o divide_v the_o sense_n where_o they_o ought_v in_o concord_n to_o agree_v together_o but_o that_o all_o may_v be_v do_v in_o good_a order_n with_o reference_n to_o all_o the_o sense_n in_o this_o manner_n by_o observe_v the_o foresay_a rule_n i_o have_v experience_v that_o child_n have_v be_v teach_v several_a handicraft_n at_o once_o and_o that_o without_o any_o great_a pain_n take_v in_o order_n whereunto_o the_o day_n have_v be_v so_o divide_v that_o only_o one_o hour_n have_v be_v allot_v for_o every_o art_n or_o handicraft_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o child_n have_v be_v so_o stir_v up_o in_o their_o desire_n that_o the_o more_o they_o have_v learn_v the_o more_o they_o have_v still_o long_v to_o learn_v so_o as_o they_o have_v think_v the_o day_n too_o short_a for_o they_o and_o thus_o after_o they_o have_v every_o one_o in_o order_n learn_v four_o art_n they_o be_v come_v so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o look_v out_o and_o learn_v a_o art_n of_o themselves_o without_o be_v teach_v and_o never_o have_v have_v any_o need_n of_o a_o master_n i_o will_v brief_o declare_v how_o i_o first_o be_v lead_v to_o this_o way_n of_o practice_n and_o give_v some_o short_a direction_n how_o the_o same_o may_v be_v further_o carry_v on_o in_o the_o education_n of_o child_n what_o regard_v the_o sense_n of_o hear_v i_o have_v experience_v that_o in_o place_n where_o music_n school_n have_v be_v keep_v that_o the_o neighbour_n child_n have_v only_o by_o hear_v they_o sing_v in_o the_o school_n learn_v to_o sing_v yea_o even_o little_a child_n that_o be_v carry_v in_o arm_n have_v utter_v their_o first_o word_n with_o a_o musical_a tone_n or_o harmony_n and_o at_o brussels_n in_o some_o place_n where_o the_o italian_n common_o resort_v little_a child_n be_v find_v of_o four_o or_o five_o year_n of_o age_n who_o father_n be_v spaniard_n their_o mother_n fleming_n and_o their_o servant_n french_a that_o can_v speak_v the_o language_n of_o all_o these_o four_o nation_n again_o i_o have_v see_v that_o where_o several_a child_n boy_n and_o girl_n eight_o in_o number_n viz._n five_o brother_n and_o three_o sister_n have_v be_v together_o in_o one_o room_n &_o the_o boy_n have_v be_v instruct_v by_o their_o pedagogue_n in_o the_o latin_a tongue_n and_o that_o the_o common_a way_n by_o pore_v upon_o book_n as_o grammar_n etc._n etc._n that_o the_o girl_n mere_o by_o the_o ear_n have_v take_v in_o and_o remember_v those_o latin_a word_n and_o rule_n which_o their_o brother_n can_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v because_o the_o girl_n have_v their_o ear_n free_a and_o therefore_o do_v more_o easy_o apprehend_v the_o voice_n and_o word_n of_o their_o brother_n pedagogue_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v much_o more_o difficulty_n to_o take_v that_o in_o by_o the_o eye_n and_o break_v of_o their_o head_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v apprehend_v by_o their_o ear_n this_o method_n be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n for_o by_o their_o eye_n they_o make_v to_o themselves_o force_v and_o undue_a image_n which_o by_o mean_n of_o a_o voice_n will_v have_v enter_v free_o natural_o and_o right_o form_v through_o their_o ear_n whereas_o the_o other_o way_n false_a and_o dead_a image_n be_v convey_v into_o child_n and_o take_v up_o the_o room_n of_o true_a and_o live_a image_n in_o their_o understanding_n by_o which_o mean_v their_o understanding_n and_o judgement_n become_v darken_v disorder_a and_o quite_o spoil_v in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o have_v know_v a_o preacher_n who_o make_v about_o twenty_o person_n man_n and_o woman_n all_o poor_a people_n that_o get_v their_o bread_n by_o spin_v of_o wool_n to_o come_v into_o his_o house_n one_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n which_o yet_o this_o poor_a people_n can_v hardly_o dispense_v with_o to_o be_v so_o long_o from_o their_o labour_n and_o read_v to_o they_o part_n of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n one_o word_n after_o another_o first_o in_o dutch_a and_o afterward_o in_o hebrew_n make_v every_o one_o of_o the_o say_a person_n to_o repeat_v every_o word_n round_o and_o thus_o he_o continue_v for_o half_a a_o hour_n read_v some_o verse_n and_o oft_o repeat_v the_o same_o and_o they_o after_o he_o the_o other_o half_a hour_n he_o read_v in_o like_a manner_n some_o verse_n out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o dutch_a and_o greek_a and_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o perceive_v that_o they_o begin_v to_o understand_v somewhat_o of_o the_o say_a language_n be_v encourage_v thereby_o he_o continue_v the_o same_o method_n until_o in_o a_o short_a time_n he_o have_v teach_v they_o not_o only_o to_o read_v perfect_o but_o also_o to_o understand_v both_o the_o say_a language_n i_o have_v also_o myself_o often_o and_o
