sufficient_a recompense_n for_o the_o toil_n of_o teach_v in_o court_n of_o law_n and_o equity_n no_o under-clerk_n or_o inferior_a officer_n place_n but_o may_v vie_v for_o the_o profit_n of_o it_o

have_v chalk_v out_o to_o we_o till_o authority_n do_v recommend_v another_o they_o do_v almost_o in_o all_o country_n entertain_v the_o same_o grammar_n and_o go_v by_o a_o certain_a rule_n of_o

by_o not_o only_a distract_n young_a head_n and_o discourage_v they_o and_o put_v they_o back_o upon_o their_o remove_n to_o new_a master_n but_o also_o make_v a_o fundamental_a difference_n in_o their_o course_n as_o they_o proceed_v to_o other_o study_n i_o have_v hear_v that_o a_o bishop_n at_o a_o examination_n in_o a_o public_a school_n receive_v a_o answer_n out_o of_o the_o common_a

since_o these_o licentious_a time_n have_v overthrow_v all_o order_n and_o break_v we_o into_o so_o many_o sect_n and_o faction_n the_o school_n have_v be_v infect_v with_o that_o fanatic_a itch_n and_o like_o independent_a congregation_n have_v be_v various_o administer_v by_o new_a light_n according_a to_o the_o fancy_n of_o the_o several_a teacher_n that_o i_o dare_v say_v there_o be_v as_o many_o grammar_n teach_v as_o there_o be_v grammarian_n to_o teach_v if_o not_o more_o it_o will_v be_v well_o if_o these_o loose_a broom_n be_v gather_v again_o if_o not_o into_o the_o old_a yet_o into_o some_o one_o model_n it_o be_v likely_a enough_o the_o old_a way_n may_v have_v some_o inconvenience_n many_o defect_n and_o redundancy_n why_o may_v not_o the_o same_o course_n be_v take_v by_o we_o as_o by_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n who_o upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n employ_v vassius_n to_o revise_v and_o mend_v and_o complete_v the_o old_a grammar_n both_o greek_a and_o latin_a
