will_v every_o where_n all_o england_n over_o as_o in_o some_o place_n i_o know_v they_o do_v meet_v together_o and_o that_o not_o only_o to_o pray_v with_o each_o other_o and_o repeat_v sermon_n a_o

for_o such_o religious_a purpose_n and_o be_v no_o conventicler_n what_o pity_n be_v it_o then_o that_o such_o meeting_n of_o young_a one_o be_v not_o every_o where_n in_o use_n for_o mutual_a

as_o christ_n say_v in_o another_o case_n the_o man_n of_o that_o dark_a antichristian_a kingdom_n be_v wise_a in_o their_o generation_n than_o the_o child_n of_o light_n they_o be_v careful_a from_o

throughout_o their_o popish_a kingdom_n upon_o these_o they_o spare_v no_o cost_n nor_o pain_n to_o educate_v and_o bring_v they_o up_o in_o the_o profound_a learning_n and_o large_a improvement_n of_o their_o part_n according_a to_o their_o respective_a genius_n and_o inclination_n to_o become_v serviceable_a in_o the_o propagation_n and_o defence_n of_o their_o false_a religion_n but_o alas_o how_o little_a of_o this_o in_o comparison_n be_v do_v by_o the_o protestant_a party_n all_o europe_n over_o insomuch_o that_o if_o god_n in_o his_o good_a providence_n do_v not_o some_o way_n prevent_v it_o and_o provide_v against_o it_o the_o protestant_a religion_n ere_o long_o be_v not_o like_a to_o have_v many_o man_n of_o part_n and_o learn_v able_a to_o defend_v it_o against_o its_o subtle_a and_o inveterate_a adversary_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o how_o do_v this_o glad_a the_o romish_a catholic_n at_o the_o very_a heart_n and_o fill_v he_o with_o hope_n that_o in_o the_o next_o generation_n he_o shall_v carry_v all_o before_o he_o and_o that_o how_o zealous_a and_o successful_a soever_o some_o may_v now_o be_v in_o preach_v write_v and_o dispute_v against_o they_o yet_o that_o the_o child_n of_o they_o that_o do_v so_o will_v be_v otherwise_o mind_v or_o at_o least_o through_o ignorance_n and_o want_n of_o learning_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v the_o noble_a and_o righteous_a cause_n which_o their_o forefather_n do_v and_o that_o irrefragable_o and_o invincible_o now_o therefore_o since_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o o_o all_o you_o zealous_a true-hearted_a and_o sound_a protestant_n throughout_o these_o kingdom_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n let_v i_o humble_o propound_v a_o expedient_a to_o you_o that_o have_v be_v upon_o my_o heart_n for_o some_o year_n a_o expedient_a which_o i_o conceive_v be_v as_o feasible_a as_o obvious_a if_o god_n give_v man_n heart_n ready_o to_o comply_v with_o what_o i_o shall_v here_o suggest_v concern_v it_o which_o if_o they_o shall_v every_v where_o unanimous_o and_o vigorous_o set_v then_o self_n about_o i_o shall_v no_o way_n doubt_v but_o that_o within_o the_o space_n of_o fifteen_o or_o twenty_o year_n the_o true_o reform_v protestant_n religion_n shall_v have_v no_o want_n of_o such_o as_o in_o due_a time_n through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n shall_v become_v the_o learned_a and_o unconquerable_a defender_n of_o it_o against_o the_o great_a champion_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o produce_v now_o that_o which_o in_o order_n hereunto_o i_o have_v to_o propound_v will_v brief_o fall_v under_o two_o proposition_n first_o that_o assoon_o as_o may_v be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o such_o true-hearted_a and_o religious_a protestant_n as_o be_v scatter_v up_o &_o down_o in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n and_o the_o several_a school_n in_o they_o whether_o public_a or_o private_a and_o shall_v be_v find_v of_o pregnant_a part_n and_o well-grounded_n in_o grammar-learning_n be_v speedy_o commit_v to_o such_o pious_a orthodox_n and_o learned_a man_n as_o shall_v be_v find_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o instruct_v and_o educate_v they_o in_o vniversity-study_n and_o especial_o in_o those_o language_n art_n and_o science_n as_o may_v render_v they_o able_a disputant_n and_o good_a divine_n i_o confine_v myself_o to_o the_o child_n only_o of_o true-hearted_a and_o religious_a protestant_n because_o i_o presume_v not_o other_o will_v make_v their_o child_n so_o happy_a as_o to_o be_v so_o breed_v up_o second_o that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n all_o true_a heart_v and_o religious_a protestant_n as_o aforesaid_a whether_o rich_a or_o poor_a will_v set_v apart_o such_o of_o their_o child_n as_o they_o shall_v find_v most_o eminent_a and_o hopeful_a for_o natural_a part_n capacity_n and_o disposition_n unto_o this_o great_a service_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o they_o grow_v up_o to_o send_v they_o to_o the_o grammar-school_n and_o so_o to_o high_a study_n several_a objection_n perhaps_o may_v here_o come_v in_o against_o these_o two_o proposition_n one_o from_o the_o rich_a protestant_n the_o other_o from_o the_o poor_a from_o the_o rich_a we_o have_v estate_n to_o give_v our_o child_n say_v they_o and_o thereupon_o intend_v some_o of_o they_o for_o the_o inn_n of_o court_n and_o from_o thence_o for_o high_a employment_n other_o we_o intend_v for_o merchant_n or_o such_o and_o such_o gainful_a trade_n for_o what_o encouragement_n be_v there_o to_o bring_v they_o up_o to_o that_o sort_n of_o learning_n which_o may_v fit_v they_o for_o service_n in_o the_o church_n when_o they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o get_v any_o preferment_n or_o employment_n without_o such_o sinful_a compliance_n and_o time-serving_a conformity_n both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o manner_n as_o may_v corrupt_v their_o heart_n debauch_v their_o conscience_n and_o endanger_v their_o soul_n for_o ever_o to_o these_o i_o answer_v first_o to_o those_o that_o design_n their_o child_n to_o high_a employment_n in_o case_n they_o bring_v they_o up_o to_o the_o aforesaid_a great_a service_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o hannah_n do_v her_o son_n samuel_n consecrate_v they_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o his_o temple-work_n i_o conceive_v they_o thereby_o
