under_o the_o custom_n of_o a_o vicious_a education_n but_o for_o our_o better_a improvement_n in_o this_o most_o necessary_a and_o important_a duty_n of_o education_n i_o shall_v consider_v this_o

the_o two_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o the_o double_a capacity_n of_o man_n for_o every_o man_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o absolute_o and_o in_o himself_o and_o so_o he_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o a_o entire_a nature_n and_o perfection_n and_o in_o this_o capacity_n he_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o moral_a action_n or_o second_o he_o may_v be_v consider_v relative_o and_o as_o he_o stand_v in_o conjunction_n with_o other_o where_o he_o be_v consider_v only_o as_o a_o part_n and_o in_o this_o capacity_n he_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o civil_a action_n now_o both_o these_o capacity_n as_o they_o have_v their_o several_a virtue_n so_o be_v there_o several_a method_n by_o which_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n may_v be_v make_v perfect_a in_o they_o i_o begin_v first_o with_o moral_a action_n and_o here_o it_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o who_o will_v work_v a_o alteration_n on_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n ought_v well_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o bent_n and_o

this_o not_o only_o with_o relation_n to_o man_n of_o ripe_a year_n but_o of_o such_o more_o especial_o who_o be_v under_o the_o method_n of_o instruction_n now_o the_o common_a motive_n to_o virtue_n be_v such_o as_o these_o viz._n reputation_n honour_n preferment_n and_o consequent_o riches_n with_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v a_o influence_n upon_o man_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o reward_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a shame_n disgrace_n loss_n of_o interest_n or_o office_n danger_n of_o estate_n or_o life_n all_o which_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o punishment_n be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o

three_o practical_a rule_n to_o such_o as_o have_v the_o care_n and_o institution_n of_o youth_n of_o which_o the_o first_o be_v this_o look_v what_o vice_n a_o man_n be_v natural_o incline_v to_o

side_n it_o be_v probable_a he_o may_v stay_v at_o the_o golden_a mean_a like_o a_o crooked_a stick_n which_o be_v make_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o stand_v straight_o by_o be_v bend_v as_o much_o the_o other_o way_n we_o may_v apply_v this_o rule_n also_o to_o the_o amendment_n of_o many_o defect_n of_o the_o body_n for_o i_o account_v a_o person_n who_o be_v ill-shaped_a splay-footed_n and_o of_o a_o untoward_o gate_n to_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n live_v to_o learn_v to_o dance_v not_o because_o he_o be_v most_o apt_a for_o such_o a_o exercise_n for_o nature_n intend_v nothing_o less_o but_o because_o by_o put_v a_o force_n upon_o nature_n he_o will_v acquire_v some_o habit_n of_o carriage_n and_o presence_n which_o will_v make_v his_o deformity_n appear_v less_o visible_a another_o rule_n be_v this_o if_o custom_n and_o nature_n have_v get_v such_o a_o ascendent_n over_o the_o mind_n that_o it_o can_v be_v remove_v the_o best_a expedient_a be_v to_o join_v issue_n with_o nature_n by_o push_v it_o forward_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o fever_n be_v best_a cure_a by_o raise_v the_o distemper_n and_o the_o most_o rational_a way_n to_o expel_v the_o purulent_a humour_n of_o the_o body_n be_v to_o drain_v they_o forward_o into_o one_o great_a issue_n of_o corrupt_a and_o putrid_a matter_n we_o find_v that_o many_o intemperate_a person_n have_v be_v reform_v into_o sobriety_n by_o the_o effect_n of_o one_o substantial_a and_o round_a debauch_n and_o if_o one_o who_o be_v of_o a_o choleric_a disposition_n will_v not_o be_v persuade_v by_o reason_n to_o contain_v it_o will_v not_o be_v the_o worst_a method_n to_o help_v he_o forward_o in_o his_o extravagance_n which_o in_o all_o likelihood_n may_v purchase_v he_o a_o good_a beat_v and_o this_o in_o all_o probability_n will_v make_v a_o great_a impression_n on_o he_o than_o all_o the_o reproof_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n though_o never_o so_o forcible_o inculcate_v but_o if_o this_o method_n prove_v unsuccesful_a the_o last_o remedy_n to_o which_o prudence_n can_v have_v recourse_n be_v to_o make_v vice_n shift_v itself_o a_o little_a into_o the_o quarter_n of_o the_o next_o neighbour_a virtue_n for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o many_o vice_n have_v some_o virtue_n or_o course_n of_o life_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o complexion_n under_o which_o they_o lurk_v and_o disguise_v themselves_o thus_o if_o a_o man_n be_v incline_v to_o cruelty_n let_v he_o follow_v the_o chase_n if_o he_o be_v choleric_a and_o revengeful_a let_v he_o follow_v the_o war_n for_o though_o such_o person_n will_v never_o make_v commander_n yet_o they_o be_v useful_a tool_n enough_o in_o some_o rencounter_n where_o man_n of_o rich_a mettle_n be_v not_o to_o be_v throw_v away_o thus_o also_o if_o a_o man_n be_v talkative_a and_o litigious_a let_v he_o follow_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o law_n for_o such_o a_o one_o will_v still_o find_v quarrelsome_a matter_n of_o other_o folk_n ready_a cut_n to_o his_o

in_o relation_n to_o other_o and_o here_o the_o duty_n be_v many_o such_o as_o those_o betwixt_o parent_n and_o child_n husband_n and_o wife_n master_n and_o servant_n to_o which_o i_o may_v add_v
