in_o most_o of_o our_o grammar-schoole_n as_o i_o have_v note_v there_o be_v but_o one_o two_o or_o three_o usher_n beside_o a_o master_n employ_v in_o teach_v the_o latin_a and_o greek_a tongue_n and_o some_o smattering_n of_o the_o hebrew_n together_o in_o one_o room_n to_o six_o or_o seven_o form_n of_o scholar_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o noise_n of_o one_o another_o not_o to_o mention_v the_o clamour_n of_o child_n and_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o their_o work_n with_o several_a boy_n in_o each_o form_n do_v both_o over-tire_a themselves_o and_o many_o time_n leave_v thing_n to_o the_o half_n i_o conceive_v a_o course_n may_v be_v take_v especial_o in_o city_n and_o town_n of_o great_a concourse_n to_o teach_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o scholar_n as_o corderius_n

profit_v manner_n &_o in_o their_o play_a year_n not_o only_o the_o english_a latin_a and_o greek_a tongue_n together_o with_o the_o duty_n of_o piety_n and_o civil_a behaviour_n but_o also_o the_o eastern_a and_o other_o needful_a foreign_a languaguage_n beside_o fair_a writing_n arithmetic_n music_n and_o other_o preparatory_a art_n and_o science_n which_o be_v most_o obvious_a to_o the_o sense_n and_o whereof_o their_o young_a year_n be_v very_o capable_a that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v thorough_o fit_v for_o ingenuous_a trade_n or_o to_o prosecute_v high_a study_n in_o the_o

country_n he_o that_o shall_v but_o consider_v the_o low_a ebbo_n that_o learning_n be_v bring_v to_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o danish_a barbarism_n in_o england_n in_o king_n alfred_n day_n who_o can_v not_o find_v a_o master_n in_o all_o his_o dominion_n to_o teach_v he_o the_o latin_a tongue_n which_o he_o begin_v to_o learn_v at_o thirty_o six_o year_n of_o age_n have_v begin_v to_o read_v

threescore_o year_n ago_o when_o a_o scholar_n yet_o live_v of_o thirteen_o year_n old_a from_o the_o school_n be_v own_v as_o a_o better_a grecian_a than_o most_o of_o the_o fellow_n of_o the_o

be_v especial_o since_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n in_o who_o time_n more_o school_n be_v build_v then_o there_o be_v before_o in_o all_o her_o realm_n and_o withal_o take_v notice_n what_o a_o

high_a sort_n of_o scholar_n will_v undoubted_o think_v as_o i_o do_v that_o our_o child_n may_v be_v bring_v on_o to_o far_o more_o knowledge_n of_o language_n and_o thing_n than_o hitherto_o they_o have_v be_v and_o that_o also_o in_o a_o more_o easy_a manner_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o i_o observe_v it_o as_o a_o great_a act_n of_o god_n mercy_n towards_o his_o church_n that_o in_o this_o jangle_a age_n of_o we_o wherein_o too_o many_o decry_v learning_n he_o have_v raise_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o some_o that_o know_v better_a what_o it_o be_v to_o endeavour_v hearty_o to_o advance_v it_o i_o shall_v here_o address_v my_o word_n to_o such_o whosoever_o they_o be_v but_o more_o especial_o to_o the_o honourable_a and_o reverend_a trustee_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o student_n and_o as_o before_o i_o have_v hint_v somewhat_o touch_v the_o erect_n of_o petty-schoole_n whereof_o there_o be_v great_a need_n especial_o in_o london_n so_o i_o will_v here_o presume_v and_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v prove_v no_o offence_n to_o publish_v what_o i_o have_v often_o serious_o think_v and_o sometime_o speak_v with_o some_o man_n approbation_n touch_v the_o most_o convenient_a sound_n of_o a_o

improvement_n of_o piety_n and_o learning_n for_o when_o i_o see_v in_o many_o place_n of_o this_o land_n what_o vast_a sum_n have_v be_v expend_v even_o of_o late_a in_o erect_v stately_a house_n and_o fence_v large_a parcel_n of_o ground_n for_o orchard_n and_o garden_n and_o the_o like_a and_o how_o destitute_a for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o stand_v and_o remain_v without_o inhabitant_n i_o be_o too_o too_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o those_o person_n which_o have_v undergo_v so_o great_a a_o charge_n to_o so_o little_a purpose_n will_v willing_o have_v disburse_v as_o much_o money_n
