A17027	The new invention, intituled, calligraphia: or, the arte of faire writing vvherein is comprehended the whole necessarie rules thereof; by which anie who is capable and carefull to learne, may without the helpe of any other teacher, under God, both bee informed concerning the right writing of the most usuall characters in the world; and perfectly instructed how to write one of the most frequent in Europe, called the secretarie. ... By His Majesties scribe, Master David Browne.	Browne, David, fl. 1622-1638.	1622 (1622)	STC 3905; ESTC S105906	110,703	284

with all employmentes appertaining to such Places as they possesse are so astricted and thirled unto them that they can neyther passe by over nor thorow anie other way Wherefore the ignorant and base-minded sort of these Writers beeing so puffed up with such Prerogatiues and Prefermentes beyonde their Brethren deride and scorne anie thing of the sublimitie of the Arte howbeit they could no wayes liue so gorgeouslie nor maintaine anie such Traines as they doe without it whereas if a fayre Writer who hath no sure office could doe never so well himselfe eyther in writing or employments therunto belonging if hee will not lay aside all his doing and eyther teach Ch●ldren to doe or bee a Slaue unto such as these his Gift will avayle him little And while as hee imbraceth and maketh choyse of the first and employeth his Skill and diligence thereanent if hee will not make each one as pe●fect as himselfe at the least the hardest of engine stiffest and heaviest handed to conceiue and profite as well as the most pregnant witted souplest and cleanliest handed these who bestow least as these who bee most thankefull and liberall and those who bee urged to learned with correction as those who doe willinglie with pleasure and delight the fault is altogether imputed unto him and no wayes unto them and so hee is eyther reputed as infamous or else not woorthie of his Place In like manner if they learne young and not continue to bee kept in right use where or with whome they learned and so become worse the fault is also layde upon their Teacher though against conscience they dissimulatelie speake one thing and thinke another whosoever so doeth for they know well that no Man and farre lesse a Childe can keepe anie thing in memorie but that which hee useth yea I say farther though a Student even passe his Course in all the Liberall Sciences if afterwardes hee exercise not his Studies his Clergie will evanish like the Snow before the Sunne and yet shal● hee or anie that belong unto him blame his Teachers if so bee that they did their duetie unto him the time hee was with them Moreover manie Parentes so loue their Children but with the wrong loue which Salomon of●en forbiddeth that they will not belieue they haue anie faults except they bee notorious and incase they belieue they cannot suffer to heare thereof and if accidentlie they doe heare they so mislike their Childrens Instructor if hee affirme the same as a lawfull excuse perhaps of their hard successe that doe what hee can or use what Apologie hee please it will bee hard for him ever to obtaine their favour againe and it were little matter if they made not all their Friendes and Associates of the same minde by their scandalous and sinistrous information Wherefore all that hee hath taught to others or can doe himselfe is set to little availe because both come within the compasse of his estimation and his estimation dependeth not so much on his owne doing neyther as on Childrens progresse in learning yea oftentimes on their bare testimonie without anie warrand and what is eyther more inconstant or foolish than a Childes report But what regarde if it were not often times better believed than the verie Sacred Scripture it selfe and their Childish desire not more yeelded unto Common or facile Writ hath not onelie all the remnant unchosen Letters of the Alphabet properlie belonging unto it but both borroweth oftentimes the first choyse of all Capitals from the first sort of Set hand and arrogateth the second choyse of Minum Letters from the second and that by right of place and consequentlie by option of choosing whereupon ariseth a controversie betwixt the saide second forme of Set hand and this present forme which anone it behooveth mee to discusse because the decision thereof it submitted and referred unto me in stead of a more competent Iudge and I haue both accepted the same in and upon mee and under-taken to pronounce definitiue sentence therein with all possible diligence but first as it becommeth all Earthlie Iudges I will heare both the Parties The principall sort challengeth and taketh the second choyse of Minum letters unto it selfe because it hath ever bene in use of them by indoubted right acclaimed by station of second place and option of second choosing And the common sort alledgeth that albeit those letters would seeme to pertaine unto the other sort by the same pretended and dissembled right of place and choosing yet they ought not because this sorte hath beene cloathed with possession thereof these manie yeares past memorie of man and therefore cannot of equitie bee frustrated now of that ancient right except there had beene renunciation or disposition made thereof and anie of these Titles produced for instructing Nowe for remooving of these Questions and Debates I repell and refute the last alleadgeance because the proponer thereof is not able to prooue the Antiquitie of possession mentioned therein and although it might bee prooved it were no just cause to take away inheritable Right and therefore I descearne that these debatable Letters belong to the principall sort because it hath undoubted Right thereunto by vertue of second place and second choosing but because the Common sort becommeth indigent or destitute of Minum letters by occasion of this Decreet which I could not eschew but behoved to pronounce according to Iustice I will not utterlie discourage nor damnifie it but haue a charitable respect thereunto and the rather because it is more prompt and needfull in common businesse than the principall sorte it selfe as all common meanes bee rather than speciall meanes Therefore wite ye mee to haue assigned and disponed by these presentes assigne and dispone the like sorte of Minum letters to the sayde desolate forme and that by doubling of such Letters in the Alphabet as haue no constant difference from those which were latelie questionable Likewise with expresse advise and consent of eyther sorte I ordaine that they shall bee both served alike with all that sorte of Minum letters as well debated as added and that there shall bee mutuall and reciprocall proportion of borrowing and lending affinitie peace and amitie betwixt these formes continuallie heereafter so long as there shall bee anie extract of this Booke extant wherein this their submission and ordinance of peace is thus registrated And on the other side I ordaine that these sortes of Minum letters giue equall obedience to both the sortes of Writ and serue them indifferentlie and that by reiterating of themselues so often as need shall require or occasion offer though it were in one Page yea in one line since they themselues were doubled or the number of them added for that effect and none other sorte added with them nor put for them Which Common Writ is also written two manner of wayes neither different in substance quantitie nor qualitie but onelie in speedinesse First it keepeth an indifferent mids that is neyther
