to get other of their fellowes to teach them some short lessons after As thus Without God we can do nothing All good gifts are from God or the like short sentences not to ouer-load them at the first To this end that the Monitours see 1. That all be most attentiue to the Preacher 2. That all those who can write any thing or do but begin to write ●oining hand doe euery one write some such notes or at least to get them written some 5. or 6. or moe as they can as I sayde to bee able to repeate them without booke as their other little fellowes But herein there must be great care by the Monitours that they trouble not their fellowes nor the congregation in asking notes or stirring out of their places to seek of one another or any other disorder but to aske them after they are come forth of the Church and get them written then 3. For those who haue been longer practiced herein to set downe 1. The Text or a part of it 2. To marke as neere as they can and set downe euery doctrine and what proofes they can the reasons and the vses of them 4. In the highest fourmes cause them to set downe all the Sermons As Text diuision exposition or meaning doctrines and how the seuerall doctrines were gathered all the proofes reasons vses applications I meane all the substance and effect of the Sermons for learning is not so much seene in setting downe the words as the substance And also for further directing them and better helping their vnderstanding and memories for the repetition thereof cause them to leaue spaces betweene euery part and where neede is to diuide them with lines So also to distinguish the seuerall parts by letters or figures and setting the sum of euery thing in the margent ouer against each matter in a word or two As Text Diuision Summe First Obseruation or 1. Doctrine Proofes Reasons 1. 2. 3. Vses 1. 2. 3. So the 2. Obseruation or doctrine proofes reasons c. so thoroughout Or what method soeuer the Preacher doth vse to follow the parts after the same maner so well as they can Direct them to leaue good margents for these purposes and so soone as euer the Preacher quotes any scripture as hee nameth it to set it in the Margent against the place lest it slip out of memorie And presently after the sermon is done to run ouer all againe correcting it and setting downe the sum of euerie chief head faire and distinctly in the margent ouer against the place if his leasure will suffer By this helpe they will be able to vnderstand and make a repetition of the sermon with a verie little meditation yea to doe it with admiration for children After all these you may if you think good cause them the next morning to translate it into a good Latine stile insteed of their exercise the next day I meane so many of them as write Latine or some little peece of it according to their ability Or rather because of the lacke of time to examine what euery one hath written to see how they are able out of the English to read that which they haue written into Latine ex tempore each of them reading his peece in order and helping others to giue better phrase and more variety for euery difficult word and so to runne thorough the whole This I finde that they will beginne to do after that they haue beene exercised in making Latine a twelue moneth or two if they haue beene rightly entred and well exercised in Sententiae pueriles especially in the diuine sentences in the end thereof and in Corderius with other bookes and exercises noted before chiefly by the practice of reading out of the translations Spoud But when would you examine these Phil. For the reading into Latine I would haue it done the next day at 9. of the clock for their exercise or at their entrance after dinner that so they might haue some meete time to meditate of it before and for examining of it in English to do it at night before their breaking vp amongst them all shortly or before dinner Herein also some one of the higher fourmes might bee appointed in order to make a repetitiō of the wholeserm on without book according as I shewed the manner of setting it down rehearsing the seueral parts so distinctly briefly as the rest attending may the better conceiue of the whole and not exceed the space of a quarter of an howre After the repetition of it if leasure serue the Master may aske amongst the highest som few questions of whatsoeuer points might seeme difficult in the sermon for by questions as I haue said they wil com to vnderstand any thing Next to appose amongst the lowest where he thinkes good what notes they took of the Sermons and cause them to pronounce them and in appoasing to cause them to vnderstand by applying all things to them in a word or two Thus to go thorough as time shall permit Spoud This strict examining will be a good means to make them attentiue Phil. It will indeed so as you shal see them to increase in knowledge and vnderstanding aboue your expectation And besides it wil keep them from playing talking sleeping and all other disorders in the Church To this end therfore poase diligently all those whō you obserue or suspect most negligent as I haue aduised then you shall haue them to attend heedfully Spoud But how will you cause them to be able so to repeate the Sermon Mee thinkes that should bee very difficult Phil. The schollars will doe it very readily where the Preachers keep any good order when they haue so noted euerything as I directed before and set downe the sum in the margent For then first meditating the text to haue it perfect secondly meditating the margents to get the sum of all into their heads and the manner how it stands thirdly obseruing how many doctrines were gathered and how what proofs how many reasons vses of euery doctrine they will soone both conceiue it and be able to deliuer it with much facilitie after a little practice But herein the principall helpes are vnderstanding by getting the summes and margents obseruing the order and constant practice Vnderstanding will bring words practice perfection If those who are weaker or more timorous haue their notes lying open before them to cast their eye vpon them here or there where they sticke it shall much embolden them and fit them after to make vse of short notes of any thing I meane of the briefe summe of that which they shall deliuer Spoud These are surely very good exercises for the Saturday for catechizing and the daies after the sermons for repeating of the sermons but would you haue no exercises of religion at all in the other daies
