make_v and_o well_o bake_v brown_a bread_n sometime_o with_o and_o sometime_o without_o butter_n or_o cheese_n will_v be_v often_o the_o best_a breakfast_n for_o my_o young_a master_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v as_o wholesome_a and_o will_v make_v he_o as_o strong_a a_o man_n as_o great_a delicacy_n and_o if_o he_o be_v use_v to_o it_o it_o will_v be_v pleasant_a to_o he_o if_o he_o at_o any_o time_n call_v for_o victual_n between_o meal_n use_v he_o to_o nothing_o but_o dry_a bread_n if_o he_o be_v hungry_a more_o than_o wanton_a bread_n alone_o will_v down_o and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o hungry_a it_o be_v not_o fit_a he_o shall_v eat_v by_o this_o you_o will_v obtain_v two_o good_a effect_n 1._o that_o by_o custom_n he_o will_v come_v to_o be_v in_o love_n with_o bread_n for_o as_o i_o say_v our_o palate_n be_v please_v with_o the_o thing_n we_o be_v use_v to_o another_o good_a you_o will_v gain_v hereby_o be_v that_o you_o will_v not_o teach_v he_o to_o eat_v more_o nor_o often_o than_o nature_n require_v i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o all_o people_n appetite_n be_v alike_o some_o have_v natural_o strong_a and_o some_o weak_a stomach_n but_o this_o i_o think_v that_o many_o be_v make_v gormans_n and_o glutton_n by_o custom_n that_o be_v not_o so_o by_o nature_n and_o i_o see_v in_o some_o country_n man_n as_o lusty_a and_o strong_a that_o eat_v but_o two_o meal_n a_o day_n as_o other_o that_o have_v for_o their_o stomach_n by_o a_o constant_a usage_n like_o larm_n to_o call_v on_o they_o for_o four_o or_o five_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v think_v too_o severe_a i_o shall_v judge_v it_o most_o convenient_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v nothing_o but_o bread_n too_o for_o breakfast_n you_o can_v imagine_v of_o what_o force_n custom_n be_v and_o i_o impute_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o disease_n in_o england_n to_o our_o eat_v too_o much_o flesh_n and_o too_o little_a bread_n §_o 15._o as_o to_o his_o meal_n i_o shall_v think_v meal_n it_o best_o

the_o mind_n of_o child_n as_o easy_o turn_v this_o or_o that_o way_n as_o water_n itself_o and_o though_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a part_n and_o our_o main_a care_n shall_v be_v about_o the_o inside_n yet_o the_o clay_n cottage_n be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v i_o shall_v therefore_o begin_v with_o the_o case_n and_o consider_v first_o the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n health_n as_o that_o which_o perhaps_o you_o may_v rather_o expect_v from_o that_o study_n i_o have_v be_v think_v more_o peculiarly_a to_o have_v apply_v myself_o to_o and_o that_o also_o which_o will_v be_v soon_o dispatch_v as_o lie_v if_o i_o guess_v not_o amiss_o in_o a_o very_a little_a compass_n §_o 3._o how_o necessary_a health_n be_v to_o our_o business_n and_o happiness_n and_o how_o requisite_a a_o strong_a constitution_n able_a to_o endure_v hardship_n and_o fatigue_n be_v to_o one_o that_o will_v make_v any_o figure_n in_o the_o world_n be_v too_o obvious_a to_o need_v any_o proof_n §_o 4._o the_o consideration_n i_o shall_v here_o have_v of_o health_n shall_v be_v not_o what_o a_o physician_n ought_v to_o do_v with_o a_o sick_a or_o crazy_a child_n but_o what_o the_o parent_n without_o the_o help_n of_o physic_n shall_v do_v for_o the_o preservation_n and_o improvement_n of_o a_o healthy_a or_o at_o least_o nor_o sickly_a constitution_n in_o their_o child_n and_o this_o perhaps_o may_v be_v dispatch_v all_o in_o this_o one_o short_a rule_n viz._n that_o gentleman_n shall_v use_v their_o child_n as_o the_o honest_a farmer_n and_o substantial_a yeoman_n do_v they_o but_o because_o the_o mother_n possible_a may_v think_v this_o a_o little_a too_o hard_o and_o the_o father_n too_o short_a i_o shall_v explain_v myself_o more_o particular_o only_o lay_v down_o this_o as_o a_o general_a and_o certain_a observation_n for_o the_o woman_n to_o consider_v viz._n that_o most_o child_n constitution_n be_v either_o spoil_v or_o harm_v by_o cocker_a and_o tenderness_n tenderness_n §_o 5._o the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v take_v care_n of_o be_v that_o child_n be_v not_o too_o warm_o warmth_n clad_v or_o cover_v winter_n or_o summer_n the_o face_n when_o we_o be_v bear_v be_v no_o less_o tender_a than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v use_n alone_o harden_v it_o and_o make_v it_o more_o able_a to_o endure_v the_o cold_a and_o therefore_o the_o scythian_a philosopher_n give_v a_o very_a significant_a answer_n to_o the_o athenian_a who_o wonder_v how_o he_o can_v go_v naked_a in_o frost_n and_o snow_n how_o say_v the_o scythian_a can_v you_o endure_v your_o face_n expose_v to_o the_o sharp_a winter-air_n my_o face_n be_v use_v to_o it_o say_v the_o athenian_a think_v i_o all_o face_n reply_v the_o scythian_a our_o body_n will_v endure_v any_o thing_n that_o from_o the_o beginning_n they_o be_v accustom_v to_o and_o therefore_o among_o other_o thing_n i_o think_v that_o when_o nature_n have_v so_o well_o cover_v his_o head_n with_o hair_n and_o strengthen_v it_o with_o a_o year_n or_o two_o age_n that_o he_o can_v run_v about_o by_o day_n without_o a_o cap_n it_o be_v best_o that_o by_o night_n a_o child_n shall_v also_o lie_v without_o one_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o expose_v to_o headache_n cold_n catarrh_n cough_n and_o several_a other_o disease_n than_o keep_v the_o head_n warm_a §_o 6._o i_o have_v say_v he_o here_o because_o the_o principal_a aim_n of_o my_o discourse_n be_v how_o a_o young_a gentleman_n shall_v be_v bring_v up_o from_o his_o infancy_n which_o in_o all_o thing_n will_v not_o so_o perfect_o suit_v the_o education_n of_o daughter_n though_o where_o the_o difference_n of_o sex_n require_v different_a treatment_n it_o will_v be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o distinguish_v §_o 7._o i_o will_v also_o advise_v his_o foot_n to_o be_v foot_n wash_v every_o night_n in_o cold_a water_n and_o to_o have_v his_o shoe_n so_o thin_a that_o they_o may_v leak_v and_o let_v in_o water_n when_o ever_o he_o come_v near_o it_o here_o i_o fear_v i_o shall_v have_v the_o mistress_n and_o maid_n too_o against_o i_o one_o will_v think_v it_o too_o filthy_a &_o the_o other_o perhaps_o too_o much_o pain_n to_o make_v clean_a his_o stocking_n but_o yet_o truth_n will_v have_v it_o that_o his_o health_n be_v much_o more_o worth_a than_o all_o such_o consideration_n and_o ten-times_o as_o much_o more_o and_o he_o that_o consider_v how_o mischievous_a and_o mortal_a a_o thing_n take_v wet_a in_o the_o foot_n be_v to_o those_o who_o have_v be_v breed_v nice_o will_v wish_v he_o have_v with_o the_o poor_a people_n child_n go_v barefoot_a who_o by_o that_o mean_n come_v to_o be_v so_o reconcile_v by_o custom_n to_o wet_v in_o their_o foot_n that_o they_o take_v no_o more_o cold_a or_o harm_n by_o it_o than_o if_o they_o be_v wet_a in_o their_o hand_n and_o what_o be_v it_o i_o pray_v that_o make_v this_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o foot_n in_o other_o but_o only_o custom_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o a_o man_n from_o his_o cradle_n have_v be_v always_o use_v to_o go_v barefoot_a whilst_o his_o hand_n be_v constant_o wrap_v up_o in_o warm_a mittins_z and_o cover_v with_o hand-shooe_n as_o the_o dutch_a call_v glove_n i_o doubt_v not_o i_o say_v but_o such_o a_o custom_n will_v make_v take_v wet_a in_o his_o hand_n as_o dangerous_a to_o he_o as_o now_o take_v wet_a in_o their_o foot_n be_v to_o a_o great_a many_o other_o the_o way_n to_o prevent_v this_o be_v to_o have_v his_o shoe_n make_v so_o as_o to_o leak_v water_n and_o his_o foot_n wash_v every_o night_n in_o cold_a water_n both_o for_o health_n and_o cleanliness_n sake_n but_o begin_v first_o in_o the_o spring_n with_o lukewarm_a and_o so_o cold_o and_o cold_a every_o night_n till_o in_o a_o few_o day_n you_o come_v to_o perfect_o cold_a water_n and_o then_o continue_v it_o so_o for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o alteration_n this_o as_o in_o all_o other_o alteration_n from_o our_o ordinary_a way_n of_o live_v the_o change_n must_v be_v make_v by_o gentle_a and_o insensible_a degree_n and_o so_o we_o may_v bring_v our_o body_n to_o any_o thing_n without_o pain_n and_o without_o danger_n swim_v §_o 8._o i_o shall_v not_o need_v here_o to_o mention_v his_o learning_n to_o swim_v when_o he_o be_v of_o age_n able_a to_o learn_v and_o have_v any_o one_o to_o teach_v he_o the_o advantage_n beside_o that_o of_o swim_v to_o health_n by_o often_o bathe_v in_o the_o summer_n in_o cold_a water_n be_v so_o many_o that_o i_o think_v nothing_o need_v to_o be_v say_v to_o encourage_v it_o provide_v this_o one_o caution_n be_v use_v that_o he_o never_o go_v into_o the_o water_n when_o exercise_n have_v at_o all_o warm_v he_o or_o leave_v any_o emotion_n in_o his_o blood_n or_o pulse_n air._n §_o 9_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o great_a advantage_n to_o every_o one_o health_n but_o especial_o child_n be_v to_o be_v much_o in_o the_o open_a air_n and_o very_o little_a as_o may_v be_v by_o the_o fire_n even_o in_o winter_n by_o this_o he_o will_v accustom_v himself_o also_o to_o heat_n and_o cold_a shine_v and_o rain_n all_o which_o if_o a_o man_n body_n will_v not_o endure_v it_o will_v serve_v he_o to_o very_o little_a purpose_n in_o this_o world_n and_o when_o he_o be_v grow_v up_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o begin_v to_o use_v he_o to_o it_o it_o must_v be_v get_v early_o and_o by_o degree_n thus_o the_o body_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o bear_v almost_o any_o thing_n if_o i_o shall_v advise_v he_o to_o play_v in_o the_o wind_n and_o the_o sun_n without_o a_o hat_n i_o doubt_v whether_o it_o can_v be_v bear_v there_o will_v a_o thousand_o objection_n be_v make_v against_o it_o which_o at_o last_o will_v a_o mount_n to_o no_o more_o in_o truth_n than_o be_v sunburn_a and_o if_o my_o young_a master_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v always_o in_o the_o shade_n and_o never_o expose_v to_o the_o sun_n and_o wind_n for_o fear_v of_o his_o complexion_n it_o may_v be_v a_o good_a way_n to_o make_v he_o a_o beau_n but_o not_o a_o man_n of_o business_n and_o although_o great_a regard_n be_v to_o be_v have_v to_o
