chastisement_n therefore_o which_o be_v tolerate_v in_o our_o school_n have_v a_o ingenuous_a administration_n let_v no_o child_n at_o any_o time_n be_v punish_v in_o the_o master_n heat_n or_o passion_n if_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n now_o it_o will_v be_v so_o a_o hour_n hence_o if_o it_o appear_v not_o a_o crime_n to_o morrow_n it_o be_v not_o so_o heinous_a as_o he_o think_v it_o to_o be_v yesterday_o let_v the_o boy_n then_o undergo_v a_o solemn_a kind_n of_o judicature_n if_o it_o be_v by_o a_o form_n of_o the_o same_o boy_n as_o assessor_n together_o with_o their_o master_n it_o be_v but_o like_o the_o lacedaemonian_a institution_n of_o their_o youth_n whereof_o the_o chief_a point_n lie_v in_o this_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o judge_v aright_o of_o the_o good_a and_o evil_a or_o of_o what_o be_v praiseworthy_a and_o what_o to_o be_v condemn_v in_o humane_a conversation_n whatsoever_o the_o criminal_a can_v allege_v for_o himself_o by_o way_n of_o justification_n or_o extenuation_n of_o his_o fact_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v hear_v both_o with_o patience_n and_o candour_n if_o his_o fault_n may_v be_v forgive_v without_o prejudice_n to_o the_o rest_n by_o the_o

to_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o delinquency_n be_v allot_v and_o the_o boy_n bring_v before_o the_o face_n of_o his_o master_n for_o see_v just_a execution_n this_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o hebrew_n judgement_n the_o malefactor_n be_v to_o lie_v down_o before_o the_o judge_n and_o so_o receive_v the_o stripe_n he_o appoint_v let_v one_o of_o the_o vile_a boy_n then_o he_o that_o

his_o fellow_n suffer_v if_o the_o master_n will_v do_v it_o himself_o it_o shall_v be_v reckon_v only_o to_o the_o severity_n of_o his_o virtue_n for_o so_o long_o as_o he_o may_v not_o lay_v his_o stripe_n any_o more_o on_o those_o part_n which_o stir_v his_o original_a corruption_n and_o he_o stay_v still_o the_o pass_n of_o judgement_n till_o he_o be_v calm_a in_o the_o point_n of_o indignation_n there_o will_v be_v no_o fear_n any_o far_o of_o those_o extremity_n which_o have_v be_v use_v but_o we_o shall_v see_v how_o cool_a these_o man_n will_v become_v to_o the_o work_n for_o hereafter_o unto_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v lead_v only_o by_o righteousness_n and_o not_o by_o affection_n for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o now_o twenty_o and_o twenty_o fault_n of_o we_o observe_v or_o make_v by_o they_o to_o bring_v we_o under_o their_o unclean_a stripe_n unto_o one_o that_o they_o will_v judge_v then_o worthy_a of_o their_o just_a severity_n in_o a_o slow_a and_o chaste_a
