in_o which_o trade_n of_o life_n although_o touchinge_v their_o person_n there_o be_v great_a peril_n then_o in_o study_n at_o home_n yet_o since_o the_o common_a weal_n may_v not_o want_v such_o

many_o poor_a young_a brother_n without_o land_n as_o common_o they_o be_v all_o do_v by_o the_o plough_n maintain_v himself_o his_o wife_n and_o family_n valentine_n a_o poor_a maintenance_n and_o

i_o pray_v you_o answer_v to_o that_o i_o ask_v you_o valentine_n such_o art_n as_o i_o wish_v a_o gentleman_n sholud_v learn_v must_v be_v those_o that_o common_o be_v call_v liberal_a science_n which_o and_o how_o many_o there_o be_v of_o they_o you_o may_v easy_o know_v yea_o and_o to_o what_o purpose_n they_o serve_v vincent_n but_o tell_v i_o be_v not_o the_o law_n a_o study_n very_o

of_o child_n to_o be_v teach_v be_v their_o parent_n never_o so_o poor_a and_o the_o boy_n never_o so_o unapt_a do_v often_o time_n rather_o harm_v the_o good_a because_o there_o they_o continue_v

be_v nothing_o worth_a valentine_n sir_n i_o do_v not_o so_o say_v but_o to_o gain_v a_o lyve_n by_o they_o without_o further_a learning_n i_o think_v it_o hard_o and_o therefore_o poor_a man_n that_o put_v so_o many_o unapte_a child_n to_o the_o school_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o offer_v they_o loss_n of_o time_n for_o do_v you_o not_o meet_v many_o beggar_n that_o can_v do_v all_o these_o and_o

if_o any_o other_o unknowen_a or_o unskilful_a person_n have_v be_v present_v unto_o they_o vincent_n no_o doubt_n of_o that_o but_o will_v you_o have_v all_o gentleman_n thus_o fine_o bring_v up_o

it_o seem_v that_o you_o will_v have_v all_o the_o rest_n to_o be_v courtier_n and_o town_n man_n how_o shall_v any_o of_o they_o then_o aspire_v to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o country_n when_o
