indeed_o i_o think_v it_o better_o that_o each_o one_o learn_v to_o write_v in_o some_o reasonable_a measure_n perfect_o before_o he_o begin_v either_o grammar_n or_o philosophy_n for_o help_v he_o

this_o book_n at_o certain_a diet_n to_o their_o scholar_n may_v instruct_v any_o child_n of_o reasonable_a age_n or_o knowledge_n almost_o as_o soon_o by_o these_o mean_n to_o be_v both_o a_o

be_v bind_v in_o volume_n with_o the_o latin_a grammar_n for_o each_o one_o that_o learn_v the_o same_o that_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o spell_n english_a by_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o latin_a by_o the_o other_o but_o likewise_o with_o any_o english_a book_n for_o lector_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o read_v both_o print_n and_o writ_n at_o once_o beside_o the_o knowledge_n how_o

every_o two_o or_o three_o have_v one_o wherewith_o either_o to_o confer_v together_o or_o to_o peruse_v day_n about_o and_o therefore_o the_o number_n of_o their_o scholar_n will_v so_o much_o the_o
