to_o the_o reader_n before_o the_o grammar_n eutrapile_n sir_n you_o be_v too_o much_o cuff_v and_o dull_v at_o school_n to_o attain_v to_o any_o logic_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n practise_v that_o be_v not_o lawful_a i_o therefore_o deny_v your_o sequel_n and_o in_o that_o preface_n there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o say_v word_n by_o word_n without_o book_n and_o there_o be_v never_o any_o command_n by_o authority_n lay_v on_o the_o common_a school_n for_o it_o grantham_n there_o be_v in_o that_o treatise_n much_o against_o yourselves_o as_o that_o a_o boy_n shall_v not_o learn_v by_o

occasion_n of_o the_o sentence_n give_v cause_v that_o day_n but_o you_o teach_v all_o word_n by_o word_n without_o book_n so_o that_o a_o boy_n be_v confound_v with_o a_o multitude_n of_o rule_n and_o know_v nothing_o distinct_o till_o he_o have_v be_v cuff_v and_o whip_v seven_o year_n together_o so_o that_o doctor_n web_n say_v they_o be_v sometime_o twenty_o sometime_o thirty_o before_o they_o go_v to_o the_o university_n i_o hear_v some_o say_v of_o good_a credit_n they_o know_v one_o who_o confess_v he_o be_v seven_o and_o thirty_o year_n of_o age_n before_o he_o come_v from_o

the_o style_n the_o rule_n for_o the_o word_n a_o boy_n may_v easy_o learn_v a_o thousand_o word_n in_o ten_o day_n that_o be_v a_o hundred_o word_n a_o day_n suppose_v a_o man_n allow_v a_o hour_n for_o twenty_o word_n in_o five_o hour_n he_o learn_v a_o hundred_o word_n i_o have_v teach_v some_o that_o have_v learn_v a_o hundred_o word_n in_o a_o hour_n but_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v after_o the_o silly_a sustian_a way_n of_o learning_n in_o the_o common_a school_n to_o say_v they_o all_o in_o order_n by_o rote_n like_o a_o parrot_n but_o let_v he_o have_v a_o hundred_o english_a word_n and_o a_o hundred_o latin_a word_n print_v or_o write_v he_o shall_v tell_v you_o latin_a for_o any_o english_a word_n and_o this_o be_v the_o learning_n i_o mean_v eutrapilus_n now_o mr._n twigtail_n and_o mr._n fleabuttock_n you_o be_v both_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o conceive_v that_o he_o that_o understand_v one_o thousand_o must_v needs_o understand_v many_o thousand_o more_o for_o many_o derivative_n compound_n decompound_n be_v understand_v by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o simples_n and_o he_o that_o understand_v thus_o much_o will_v understand_v most_o author_n he_o read_v dotteril_n but_o how_o shall_v they_o do_v for_o a_o stile_n eutrap_v m._n dotterel_n i_o will_v show_v you_o by_o a_o example_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a bird_n which_o be_v a_o fool_n or_o a_o fowl_n or_o a_o foolish_a fowl_n call_v a_o dotterel_n your_o own_o namesake_n this_o bird_n if_o you_o see_v he_o thrust_v out_o his_o right_a wing_n thrust_v you_o out_o your_o right_a arm_n if_o he_o thrust_v out_o his_o left_a leg_n thrust_v you_o out_o you_o if_o he_o thrust_v out_o his_o neck_n thrust_v you_o out_o you_o and_o thus_o by_o imitate_v of_o he_o you_o will_v come_v so_o near_o till_o you_o take_v he_o up_o in_o your_o hand_n and_o so_o in_o a_o author_n where_o you_o see_v he_o place_v his_o adjective_n adverb_n or_o conjunction_n do_v you_o so_o to_o and_o by_o this_o imitation_n you_o will_v catch_v the_o strain_n of_o your_o author_n and_o come_v to_o a_o great_a perfection_n if_o you_o imitate_v but_o six_o leaf_n in_o a_o translation_n which_o you_o may_v do_v in_o two_o day_n than_o you_o may_v come_v near_o the_o strain_n of_o the_o author_n twigtail_n in_o this_o thing_n i_o be_o something_o satisfy_v fleabuttock_n but_o what_o do_v you_o say_v for_o the_o rule_n grantham_n the_o rule_v i_o will_v reach_v thus_o first_o consider_v there_o be_v 8._o part_n of_o speech_n for_o the_o 4._o that_o be_v undeclined_a i_o bid_v my_o scholar_n take_v very_o little_a care_n because_o they_o be_v not_o decline_v nor_o vary_v nor_o alter_v at_o all_o as_o you_o find_v a_o adverbe_n or_o a_o conjunction_n in_o one_o place_n so_o you_o find_v he_o every_o where_n of_o the_o other_o 4._o i_o bid_v he_o take_v care_n but_o of_o two_o that_o be_v a_o noun_n and_o a_o verb_n for_o a_o pronoun_n be_v much_o like_a to_o a_o noun_n know_v one_o know_v the_o other_o a_o
