education_n of_o child_n must_v lie_v upon_o parent_n but_o yet_o minister_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o their_o duty_n but_o to_o assist_v they_o all_o they_o can_v and_o by_o public_a catechise_v frequent_o to_o instruct_v both_o those_o who_o have_v not_o learned_a and_o those_o who_o be_v ashamed_a to_o learn_v any_o other_o way_n and_o you_o must_v use_v the_o

because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o useful_a and_o beneficial_a to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o people_n be_v able_a to_o talk_v

catechetical_a way_n but_o i_o be_o true_o sorry_a to_o hear_v that_o where_o the_o clergy_n be_v willing_a to_o take_v pain_n this_o way_n the_o people_n be_v unwilling_a to_o send_v their_o child_n they_o will_v not_o be_v unwilling_a to_o hear_v they_o instruct_v as_o early_o as_o may_v be_v in_o the_o way_n to_o get_v a_o estate_n but_o will_v be_v very_o thankful_a to_o those_o who_o will_v do_v they_o such_o a_o kindness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v real_o a_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n and_o another_o world_n which_o make_v they_o so_o backward_o to_o have_v their_o child_n teach_v the_o way_n to_o it_o and_o methinks_v those_o who_o have_v any_o zeal_n for_o the_o reformation_n shall_v love_v and_o pursue_v that_o which_o come_v into_o request_n with_o it_o indeed_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n itself_o have_v be_v make_v so_o sensible_a of_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o that_o even_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v not_o only_o require_v catechise_v
