these_o study_n thus_o confine_v to_o these_o place_n and_o do_v *_o habeatur_fw-la swear_v man_n to_o read_v and_o teach_v they_o nowhere_o else_o certain_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o these_o man_n love_v their_o own_o private_a gain_n more_o than_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o people_n but_o now_o see_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n a_o kingdom_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o tyranny_n into_o freedom_n we_o judge_v it_o most_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o common_a good_a of_o a_o commonwealth_n that_o these_o two_o university_n shall_v make_v a_o monopoly_n of_o human_a learning_n to_o themselves_o especial_o as_o be_v say_v see_v they_o say_v nobody_o can_v well_o understand_v or_o teach_v the_o scripture_n without_o it_o and_o so_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o encroachment_n against_o the_o rule_n of_o love_n through_o the_o former_a grant_n of_o pope_n and_o king●_n all_o man_n shall_v be_v necessitate_v to_o send_v their_o child_n hither_o from_o all_o

university_n usual_o have_v be_v place_n of_o great_a licentiousness_n and_o profaneness_n whereby_o it_o often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o parent_n send_v they_o child_n far_o from_o they_o young_a and_o hopeful_a have_v for_o all_o their_o care_n and_o cost_n after_o several_a year_n receive_v they_o back_o again_o with_o their_o tongue_n and_o art_n proud_a profane_a wicked_a ab●minable_a and_o incorrigible_a wretch_n wherefore_o doubtless_o it_o will_v be_v more_o suitable_a to_o a_o commonwealth_n if_o we_o become_v so_o indeed_o and_o not_o in_o word_n only_o and_o more_o advantageous_a to_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o people_n to_o have_v university_n or_o college_n one_o at_o least_o in_o every_o great_a town_n or_o city_n in_o the_o nation_n as_o in_o london_n york_n bristol_n exeter_n norwich_n and_o the_o like_a and_o for_o the_o state_n to_o allow_v to_o these_o college_n a_o honest_a and_o competent_a maintenance_n for_o some_o godly_a and_o learned_a man_n to_o teach_v the_o tongue_n and_o art_n under_o a_o due_a reformation_n and_o this_o the_o state_n may_v the_o better_o do_v by_o provision_n out_o of_o every_o county_n or_o otherwise_o as_o shall_v be_v judge_v best_o see_v there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o endowment_n of_o scholarship_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o people_n have_v college_n in_o their_o own_o city_n near_o their_o own_o house_n may_v maintain_v their_o child_n at_o home_n whilst_o they_o learn_v in_o the_o school_n which_o will_v be_v indeed_o the_o great_a advantage_n to_o learning_n that_o can_v be_v think_v of_o 8._o it_o will_v also_o be_v consider_v whether_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o youth_n shall_v spend_v their_o time_n only_o in_o read_v of_o book_n whilst_o they_o be_v well_o strong_a active_a and_o fit_a for_o business_n for_o common_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o youth_n lose_v as_o much_o by_o idleness_n as_o they_o gain_v by_o study_n and_o they_o be_v only_o bring_v up_o to_o read_v book_n and_o such_o book_n as_o only_o contain_v wrangle_v jangle_a foolish_a and_o unprofitable_a philosophy_n when_o they_o have_v continue_v any_o long_a time_n in_o the_o university_n in_o these_o unwarranted_a course_n by_o god_n they_o be_v common_o in_o the_o end_n fit_a for_o no_o worthy_a employment_n either_o in_o the_o world_n or_o among_o the_o faithful_a to_o remedy_v which_o great_a evil_n college_n be_v as_o have_v be_v speak_v disperse_v through_o the_o great_a city_n and_o town_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n it_o may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o the_o youth_n according_a to_o luther_n counsel_n may_v spend_v some_o part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o learning_n or_o study_n puer_fw-la and_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o some_o lawful_a call_n or_o one_o day_n in_o study_n and_o another_o in_o business_n as_o necessity_n or_o occasion_n shall_v require_v and_o thus_o shall_v youth_n be_v deliver_v from_o that_o ease_n and_o idleness_n which_o fill_v the_o heart_n of_o university-student_n with_o many_o corruption_n and_o noisome_a lust_n whilst_o they_o fill_v their_o head_n only_o with_o empty_a knowledge_n and_o foolish_a notion_n whereby_o neither_o can_v god_n be_v glorify_v nor_o their_o neighbour_n profit_v 9_o and_o if_o this_o course_n be_v take_v in_o the_o d●sposing_n and_o order_v college_n and_o study_n it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o twenty_o will_v learn_v then_o where_o one_o learn_v now_o and_o also_o by_o degree_n many_o man_n on_o who_o god_n shall_v please_v to_o pour_v forth_o his_o spirit_n may_v grow_v up_o to_o teach_v the_o people_n whilst_o yet_o they_o live_v in_o a_o honest_a call_n and_o employment_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v and_o this_o will_v give_v they_o great_a efficacy_n and_o power_n in_o teach_v whilst_o they_o live_v by_o faith_n through_o their_o honest_a labour_n and_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o mischief_n of_o idleness_n but_o and_o if_o the_o faithful_a shall_v desire_v any_o one_o that_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o teach_v and_o have_v receive_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o anoint_v then_o his_o brethren_n to_o spend_v more_o of_o his_o time_n in_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n than_o his_o call_n will_v afford_v at_o such_o time_n they_o ought_v to_o supply_v he_o and_o the_o law_n of_o love_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a will_v be_v law_n enough_o in_o this_o matter_n without_o call_v in_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n may_v the_o chargeable_a and_o burdensome_a maintenance_n of_o minister_n by_o

it_o have_v at_o a_o far_o less_o rate_n for_o god_n have_v promise_v in_o the_o last_o day_n to_o pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n on_o all_o flesh_n and_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n and_o servant_n
