increase_n and_o glorification_n of_o our_o being_n by_o mean_n of_o this_o never_o cease_v melioration_n and_o revolution_n as_o also_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o to_o have_v more_o certain_a proper_a and_o become_a thought_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o one_o only_a world_n be_v much_o too_o little_a to_o know_v god_n in_o and_o find_v he_o out_o to_o perfection_n and_o that_o therefore_o there_o

of_o my_o promise_n and_o do_v now_o renew_v to_o the_o courteous_a and_o truth-loving_a reader_n my_o former_a request_n that_o in_o case_n any_o one_o shall_v be_v find_v who_o this_o discourse_n may_v not_o full_o satisfy_v as_o to_o the_o main_a point_n it_o treat_v of_o and_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v some_o thing_n better_o and_o more_o consonant_a to_o holy_a scripture_n and_o sound_a

be_v probable_a that_o for_o the_o common_a good_a i_o may_v hereafter_o endeavour_v in_o another_o treatise_n to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o this_o which_o will_v be_v publish_v in_o latin_a by_o enlarge_n myself_o upon_o this_o point_n of_o the_o revolution_n of_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o other_o foregoing_a matter_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o be_o not_o without_o hope_n in_o case_n i_o shall_v remove_v into_o another_o land_n and_o that_o ●●y_o intend_a treatise_n shall_v be_v write_v in_o some_o other_o language_n but_o that_o some_o lover_n will_v be_v find_v who_o may_v have_v the_o curiosity_n to_o translate_v it_o a_o appendix_n we_o observe_v and_o see_v daily_a how_o that_o young_a child_n who_o be_v void_a of_o all_o image_n have_v a_o continual_a hunger_n after_o knowledge_n which_o god_n natural_o have_v plant_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o seek_v to_o satisfy_v themselves_o of_o every_o thing_n they_o see_v or_o hear_v and_o according_a as_o their_o life_n increase_v in_o strength_n this_o hunger_n increase_v also_o even_o until_o they_o be_v full_o grow_v at_o which_o time_n they_o be_v fill_v and_o have_v get_v seed_n of_o their_o own_o and_o so_o be_v enable_v to_o give_v forth_o something_o again_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o then_o so_o fit_a as_o before_o to_o receive_v and_o take_v in_o because_o in_o this_o very_a time_n of_o their_o age_n their_o first_o revolution_n happen_v as_o wherein_o they_o pass_v from_o childhood_n to_o youth_n which_o time_n comprehend_v a_o perfect_a revolution_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o twelve_o year_n or_o twelve_o circumvolution_n through_o the_o twelve_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o this_o be_v the_o natural_a reason_n why_o the_o jew_n observe_v this_o rule_n among_o they_o and_o have_v keep_v the_o same_o ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n that_o when_o a_o boy_n be_v twelve_o year_n and_o a_o day_n old_a he_o be_v then_o bind_v to_o keep_v all_o the_o command_n and_o prohibition_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v six_o hundred_o and_o thirteen_o in_o number_n and_o together_o with_o the_o seven_o precept_n of_o noah_n make_v out_o six_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o now_o if_o he_o shall_v keep_v these_o command_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o he_o first_o know_v they_o and_o have_v learn_v they_o wherefore_o the_o parent_n be_v oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o inform_v and_o cause_v their_o child_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o law_n give_v to_o their_o father_n that_o they_o may_v not_o bring_v the_o guilt_n of_o their_o child_n upon_o themselves_o in_o case_n their_o child_n shall_v not_o keep_v the_o say_a command_n but_o when_o the_o parent_n have_v discharge_v their_o duty_n in_o this_o matter_n than_o the_o guilt_n fall_v upon_o the_o child_n themselves_o and_o they_o must_v answer_v for_o it_o and_o the_o very_a same_o duty_n be_v incumbent_n on_o christian_n in_o their_o measure_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o saviour_n himself_o have_v give_v we_o a_o instance_n hereof_o when_o he_o be_v twelve_o year_n of_o age_n as_o we_o may_v read_v luke_n 2._o 46._o who_o example_n sure_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o follow_v now_o it_o be_v there_o say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v find_v in_o the_o temple_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o doctor_n both_o hear_v they_o and_o ask_v they_o question_n and_o that_o all_o that_o hear_v he_o be_v
