end_n of_o your_o study_n which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o excellent_a learning_n join_v with_o a_o honest_a life_n and_o a_o well_o polish_a stile_n and_o a_o pure_a and_o uncorrupt_a speech_n beautify_v with_o ornament_n both_o of_o word_n and_o sentence_n and_o because_o you_o understand_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o first_o art_n of_o speech_n and_o the_o precept_n and_o variety_n of_o the_o two_o tongue_n i_o mean_v greek_a and_o latin_a whereunto_o be_v join_v the_o knowledge_n of_o word_n and_o matter_n for_o that_o that_o word_n be_v the_o image_n of_o thing_n therefore_o from_o this_o time_n forward_o you_o must_v join_v together_o and_o combine_v the_o study_n of_o they_o both_o and_o to_o that_o end_n tend_v all_o my_o talk_n wherefore_o we_o will_v divide_v the_o day_n into_o two_o part_n or_o time_n of_o which_o the_o one_o be_v the_o morning_n the_o other_o the_o afternoon_n now_o as_o the_o morning_n must_v be_v bestow_v upon_o tully_n and_o write_n the_o time_n that_o remain_v after_o dinner_n shall_v serve_v for_o other_o author_n such_o as_o may_v teach_v we_o other_o good_a art_n and_o knowledge_n not_o as_o though_o these_o other_o author_n be_v not_o commend_v among_o learned_a man_n for_o their_o style_n and_o speech_n or_o as_o though_o tully_n be_v not_o full_a of_o excellent_a knowledge_n fetch_v from_o the_o very_a depth_n and_o bottom_n of_o philosophy_n and_o wisdom_n but_o although_o they_o be_v both_o help_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o yet_o because_o i_o judge_v that_o cicero_n at_o all_o time_n be_v chief_o and_o most_o principal_o to_o be_v follow_v when_o we_o seek_v for_o example_n i_o must_v make_v this_o difference_n that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v to_o who_o at_o sometime_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o digress_v and_o from_o who_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o depart_v at_o all_o for_o see_v you_o accept_v i_o herein_o as_o a_o teacher_n thus_o think_v with_o yourself_o that_o some_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o i_o account_n lawful_a whereunto_o i_o give_v you_o leave_v to_o divert_v sometime_o and_o some_o other_o thing_n which_o i_o account_v unlawful_a wherein_o if_o you_o make_v default_n i_o shall_v think_v you_o unmindful_a of_o this_o benefit_n which_o you_o have_v receive_v at_o my_o hand_n which_o be_v a_o foul_a vice_n in_o manner_n and_o not_o to_o be_v name_v for_o notwithstanding_o that_o i_o in_o the_o beginning_n do_v only_o crave_v of_o you_o temperance_n diligence_n and_o constancy_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o that_o the_o other_o virtue_n be_v neglect_v of_o you_o and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o crave_v a_o faithfulness_n at_o your_o hand_n and_o a_o mindfulness_n of_o the_o council_n i_o give_v you_o which_o i_o account_v to_o be_v the_o certain_a token_n of_o thankfulness_n and_o but_o if_o you_o believe_v that_o i_o give_v true_a council_n my_o talk_n shall_v be_v but_o of_o small_a authority_n with_o you_o for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o a_o city_n be_v a_o society_n and_o fellowship_n of_o man_n one_o with_o another_o and_o see_v no_o society_n be_v large_a nor_o be_v more_o wide_a spread_v through_o so_o many_o people_n and_o nation_n with_o a_o incredible_a virtue_n and_o strength_n than_o the_o fellowship_n of_o christian_n which_o be_v call_v the_o church_n to_o the_o which_o fellowship_n jesus_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o the_o true_a god_n who_o have_v a_o surname_n of_o a_o kingly_a majesty_n and_o be_v name_v christ_n have_v call_v all_o mankind_n out_o from_o every_o part_n and_o corner_n of_o the_o world_n sith_o therefore_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o true_a society_n needs_o must_v it_o be_v that_o civil_a knowledge_n be_v ground_v chief_o on_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o god_n and_o that_o a_o christian_a man_n shall_v most_o trust_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n see_v it_o be_v ordain_v for_o the_o obtain_v of_o the_o heavenly_a society_n and_o do_v agree_v to_o the_o heavenly_a law_n and_o the_o government_n of_o god_n the_o philosopher_n seek_v after_o this_o neither_o can_v they_o find_v it_o if_o minos_n of_o crete_n or_o lycurgus_n of_o lacedaemon_n or_o solon_n of_o athens_n have_v know_v this_o they_o have_v leave_v their_o country_n man_n in_o more_o bless_a estate_n than_o we_o see_v they_o have_v this_o be_v unknown_a to_o socrates_n plato_n his_o master_n to_o plato_n himself_o yea_o aristotle_n also_o want_v this_o doctrine_n to_o make_v his_o civil_a knowledge_n perfect_a yet_o i_o say_v not_o this_o to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o have_v not_o write_v excellent_o and_o well_o and_o that_o in_o many_o place_n or_o rather_o in_o the_o most_o part_n but_o because_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o divinity_n whereby_o they_o may_v call_v man_n to_o heavenly_a concord_n and_o bring_v their_o citizen_n to_o that_o end_n which_o they_o have_v purpose_v in_o their_o book_n i_o mean_v felicity_n and_o such_o a_o life_n as_o be_v perfect_a of_o itself_o and_o sure_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a as_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v read_v all_o our_o life_n long_o and_o some_o thing_n that_o once_o read_v suffice_v so_o that_o the_o memory_n decay_v not_o and_o some_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v recognise_v at_o certain_a time_n which_o order_n you_o must_v observe_v for_o ever_o and_o you_o must_v neither_o suffer_v nor_o be_v content_a to_o be_v withdraw_v or_o drive_v from_o it_o if_o you_o will_v continue_v in_o that_o constancy_n which_o you_o promise_v religion_n therefore_o and_o the_o cogitation_n thereof_o be_v perpetual_o to_o be_v retain_v for_o often_o time_n most_o noble_a wise_a and_o most_o virtuous_a man_n after_o thing_n do_v with_o great_a glory_n and_o sometime_o after_o high_a honour_n achieve_v by_o govern_v the_o common_a wealth_n have_v leave_v that_o charge_n either_o because_o of_o sickness_n or_o by_o reason_n of_o year_n who_o yet_o from_o virtue_n religion_n and_o the_o godly_a ceremony_n of_o their_o forefather_n can_v not_o be_v drive_v and_o i_o believe_v that_o cicero_n and_o other_o orator_n good_a and_o virtuous_a man_n do_v not_o purpose_n always_o to_o plead_v cause_n in_o the_o court_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o age_n yet_o they_o intend_v never_o to_o forsake_v a_o honest_a life_n but_o always_o to_o be_v do_v some_o thing_n and_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v to_o write_v of_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o latin_a tongue_n as_o may_v both_o profit_v their_o countryman_n and_o pertain_v whole_o to_o the_o set_v forth_o of_o philosophy_n and_o wisdom_n in_o their_o native_a tongue_n wherefore_o if_o religion_n in_o all_o the_o life_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v and_o chief_o when_o we_o draw_v toward_o our_o end_n &_o if_o a_o wise_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o cast_v away_o the_o pen_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n we_o ought_v perpetual_o to_o acquaint_v ourselves_o with_o those_o writer_n who_o style_n we_o be_v desirous_a to_o follow_v and_o through_o who_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_o instruct_v to_o virtue_n religion_n and_o wisdom_n now_o if_o this_o may_v not_o be_v deny_v than_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o spend_v his_o life_n in_o holy_a writer_n and_o a_o eloquent_a man_n ought_v to_o be_v daily_o conversant_a in_o tully_n work_n for_o as_o religion_n make_v holy_a the_o society_n of_o man_n so_o do_v eloquence_n make_v it_o pleasant_a and_o both_o join_v together_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v healtful_a to_o this_o study_n of_o religion_n i_o do_v join_v the_o discipline_n of_o manner_n and_o all_o civil_a doctrine_n and_o history_n and_o in_o this_o i_o think_v a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o end_v his_o life_n and_o these_o be_v those_o thing_n which_o i_o deem_v worthy_a to_o be_v read_v and_o study_v for_o ever_o now_o such_o thing_n as_o it_o suffice_v to_o read_v but_o once_o be_v in_o this_o manner_n to_o be_v discern_v for_o what_o soever_o be_v of_o that_o kind_n have_v this_o nature_n that_o either_o it_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v read_v for_o the_o foolishness_n thereof_o or_o for_o the_o shortness_n or_o easiness_n not_o needful_a to_o repeat_v of_o these_o two_o kind_n that_o which_o be_v foolish_a must_v be_v shun_v and_o other_o which_o be_v short_a and_o easy_a to_o understand_v and_o remember_v must_v be_v apply_v to_o further_a that_o end_n whereunto_o the_o variety_n of_o our_o study_n be_v refer_v and_o be_v then_o chief_o to_o be_v use_v when_o the_o mind_n be_v weary_v with_o the_o study_n of_o weighty_a labour_n for_o recreation_n sake_n do_v withdraw_v itself_o and_o in_o this_o refresh_n it_o be_v very_o good_a to_o have_v a_o repeater_n who_o voice_n do_v show_v
