scatter_v among_o these_o young_a generation_n so_o you_o will_v lay_v a_o train_n indeed_o to_o bring_v their_o soul_n into_o the_o good_a way_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n provide_v that_o there_o may_v be_v more_o faithful_a guide_n to_o steer_v and_o direct_v they_o in_o this_o way_n that_o be_v indeed_o a_o enterprise_n worthy_a of_o such_o a_o city_n as_o this_o be_v let_v we_o not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o learn_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o jesuit_n which_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v learn_v from_o they_o who_o be_v most_o studious_a in_o this_o ●o●●y_n art_n they_o go_v up_o and_o down_o and_o

though_o i_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o press_v upon_o so_o bountiful_a a_o city_n as_o this_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v add_v to_o your_o vast_a charge_n which_o you_o have_v be_v already_o at_o yet_o i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o some_o public_a stock_n be_v raise_v in_o some_o way_n most_o suitable_a that_o such_o as_o i_o speak_v of_o may_v be_v maintain_v and_o consecrate_v to_o the_o study_n of_o learning_n and_o be_v send_v to_o the_o university_n may_v prove_v in_o their_o generation_n faithful_a guide_n in_o this_o good_a way_n god_n have_v be_v please_v already_o to_o shine_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o hopeful_a beginning_n of_o reformation_n of_o university_n and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o our_o way_n and_o place_n be_v to_o further_a that_o work_n wherein_o we_o be_v all_o more_o or_o less_o especial_o concern_v this_o will_v most_o successful_o be_v do_v by_o send_v such_o person_n thither_o as_o may_v be_v most_o capable_a of_o improvement_n there_o which_o may_v not_o for_o want_v of_o part_n be_v discourage_v from_o follow_v those_o study_n which_o shall_v there_o be_v require_v of_o they_o and_o then_o for_o want_n of_o employment_n in_o their_o study_n run-out_a into_o such_o vicious_a course_n as_o may_v make_v they_o to_o rue_v the_o day_n that_o ever_o they_o come_v thither_o the_o rule_n which_o parent_n have_v go_v by_o former_o in_o make_v such_o and_o such_o child_n scholar_n have_v be_v a_o respect_n to_o their_o own_o education_n they_o have_v be_v scholar_n it_o may_v be_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o think_v that_o their_o son_n however_o qualife_v must_v needs_o be_v so_o also_o and_o other_o by_o very_o sinister_a respect_n gentleman_n if_o they_o have_v divers_a child_n to_o make_v scholar_n of_o those_o which_o be_v the_o young_a as_o a_o shift_n rather_o than_o a_o calling_n and_o somewhat_o whereby_o they_o may_v rather_o provide_v for_o their_o worldly_a subsistence_n then_o for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n now_o that_o which_o i_o commend_v to_o your_o wisdom_n in_o this_o point_n of_o public_a education_n be_v to_o be_v carry_v by_o another_o consideration_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o pregnancy_n of_o part_n and_o capacity_n in_o child_n such_o be_v cherish_v and_o promote_v in_o learning_n they_o may_v by_o god_n blessing_n prove_v able_a guide_n to_o bring_v other_o into_o the_o good_a way_n second_o look_v to_o your_o family_n religion_n for_o as_o your_o school_n have_v family_n a_o subordination_n to_o university_n so_o family_n to_o school_n the_o reformation_n of_o the_o one_o will_v not_o so_o much_o avail_v without_o reformation_n of_o the_o other_o and_o both_o have_v a_o subordination_n to_o the_o church_n to_o this_o intent_n let_v master_n let_v parent_n oh_o that_o husband_n and_o wife_n likewise_o will_v love_v one_o another_o soul_n so_o well_o as_o to_o be_v quicken_a and_o help_v forward_o one_o another_o in_o this_o good_a way_n i_o say_v let_v master_n let_v parent_n catechise_v their_o child_n and_o servant_n and_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n doubtless_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v they_o fit_a to_o be_v useful_a church-member_n you_o expect_v the_o minister_n shall_v do_v all_o true_o there_o will_v not_o so_o much_o be_v do_v unless_o you_o maintain_v a_o harmony_n of_o

private_a and_o call_v they_o to_o a_o account_n of_o their_o profit_n by_o the_o public_a administration_n oh_o this_o harmony_n be_v maintain_v it_o will_v still_o lay_v a_o better_a train_n how_o to_o reduce_v those_o that_o go_v astray_o it_o be_v a_o most_o unhappy_a
