shall_v never_o be_v careless_a though_o sometime_o see_v ming_o so_o the_o more_o serious_a the_o child_n be_v and_o the_o more_o discover_v his_o inclination_n or_o if_o the_o child_n be_v more_o reserve_v as_o it_o be_v cunning_a enough_o to_o deceive_v itself_o and_o other_o too_o in_o that_o which_o most_o concern_v its_o good_a then_o note_v the_o child_n well_o in_o the_o kitchen_n i_o mean_v in_o such_o a_o place_n he_o suspect_v not_o his_o parent_n ear_n or_o eye_n than_o he_o may_v be_v understand_v therefore_o there_o be_v great_a need_n that_o some_o wall_n shall_v have_v a_o ear_n and_o some_o open_a place_n a_o espial_n as_o much_o need_n there_o be_v of_o some_o trusty_a servant_n with_o who_o the_o child_n will_v be_v open_a and_o plain_a for_o if_o he_o or_o she_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n and_o the_o parent_n they_o may_v do_v and_o in_o nothing_o more_o very_o good_a and_o faithful_a service_n this_o way_n the_o caution_n here_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o

unstable_a and_o uncertain_a as_o the_o water_n and_o may_v deceive_v the_o parent_n exceed_o and_o common_o do_v 2._o nor_o must_v the_o parent_n credit_n what_o child_n say_v they_o be_v very_o subtle_a to_o hurt_v themselves_o and_o very_o cunning_a for_o their_o own_o end_n nature_n teach_v they_o a_o child_n will_v ever_o seem_v to_o bend_v to_o this_o or_o that_o so_o far_o as_o he_o in_o his_o foresight_n which_o be_v none_o may_v think_v it_o make_v for_o his_o ease_n and_o liberty_n which_o he_o think_v a_o change_n may_v bring_v as_o the_o ass_n in_o the_o fable_n and_o if_o he_o may_v to_o the_o writing-school_n than_o he_o be_v sure_a of_o it_o the_o latin_a school_n be_v too_o close_o for_o he_o he_o be_v for_o his_o good_a too_o much_o pen_v up_o there_o here_o we_o may_v observe_v how_o the_o child_n will_v turn_v and_o wind_n himself_o in-to_a the_o parent_n the_o child_n will_v make_v the_o parent_n believe_v that_o he_o can_v no_o way_n skill_n of_o the_o book_n but_o of_o any_o course_n else_o very_o well_o what_o the_o parent_n will_v for_o that_o way_n his_o ingeny_n do_v bias_n he_o so_o the_o child_n will_v say_v and_o so_o the_o parent_n believe_v he_o whereas_o his_o bent_n be_v only_o that_o way_n which_o he_o think_v may_v give_v he_o more_o liberty_n scope_n and_o elbow-room_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o parent_n must_v be_v as_o wise_a as_o a_o serpent_n for_o the_o child_n be_v not_o so_o innocent_a as_o a_o dove_n it_o be_v the_o very_a masterpiece_n of_o a_o child_n cunning_a to_o deceive_v and_o hurt_v itself_o a_o parent_n then_o must_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o child_n but_o to_o his_o own_o discern_v of_o the_o child_n part_n and_o according_o he_o must_v fit_v he_o with_o general_a instruction_n make_v he_o as_o capable_a as_o he_o may_v and_o ready_o gird_v for_o any_o course_n but_o for_o the_o design_v the_o child_n to_o this_o or_o that_o call_n require_v a_o clear_a insight_n unto_o the_o child_n inclination_n and_o ability_n that_o way_n than_o the_o parent_n can_v attain_v unto_o by_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o therefore_o the_o parent_n work_v in_o this_o case_n be_v more_o special_o and_o peculiar_o with_o god_n he_o look_v up_o to_o that_o hand_n which_o wise_o order_v all_o thing_n and_o which_o be_v never_o look_v up_o unto_o in_o vain_a he_o remember_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n pray_v all_o the_o night_n before_o he_o choose_v his_o disciple_n which_o teach_v man_n what_o to_o do_v in_o matter_n of_o weight_n and_o difficulty_n even_o to_o wait_v upon_o a_o secret_a and_o invisible_a hand_n which_o way_n that_o point_n and_o direct_v and_o if_o the_o parent_n do_v look_v up_o earnest_o to_o this_o hand_n which_o can_v be_v in_o vain_a it_o will_v easy_o be_v discern_v thus_o that_o parent_n who_o eye_n be_v to_o god_n carry_v the_o same_o single_a towards_o his_o glory_n he_o think_v not_o what_o advantage_n may_v come_v what_o preferment_n may_v be_v have_v he_o think_v not_o thereon_o as_o on_o a_o principal_a but_o how_o the_o child_n may_v receive_v most_o good_a he_o mean_v that_o which_o be_v good_a indeed_o how_o he_o may_v do_v most_o

god_n give_v they_o the_o child_n and_o for_o that_o end_n they_o must_v return_v the_o child_n back_o again_o so_o the_o parent_n aim_v at_o and_o desire_v the_o best_a and_o most_o excellent_a way_n but_o he_o look_v to_o the_o child_n fitness_n that_o way_n he_o will_v proportion_v his_o child_n place_n to_o the_o portion_n of_o his_o child_n gift_n that_o the_o child_n may_v not_o stretch_v
