the_o second_o also_o which_o be_v a_o short_a treatise_n of_o arithmetic_n and_o for_o my_o thus_o do_v two_o thing_n may_v possible_o be_v demand_v of_o i_o or_o object_v against_o i_o first_o what_o need_v there_o be_v of_o any_o new_a treatise_n of_o this_o kind_n there_o be_v such_o great_a variety_n thereof_o already_o and_o second_o why_o i_o place_v it_o next_o to_o grammar_n since_o the_o liberal_a science_n be_v usual_o reckon_v up_o in_o another_o order_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o among_o all_o those_o english_a treatise_n of_o arithmetic_n there_o be_v but_o one_o that_o i_o know_v of_o or_o do_v at_o present_a remember_v viz._n mr._n wingates_n in_o which_o the_o rule_n of_o arithmetic_n be_v propound_v in_o any_o logical_a method_n and_o methinks_v it_o be_v very_o convenient_a if_o not_o necessary_a that_o the_o rule_n in_o every_o science_n shall_v be_v methodical_o handle_v and_o this_o i_o confess_v be_v so_o exact_o well_o perform_v in_o that_o i_o but_o now_o mention_v especial_o in_o the_o second_o edition_n thereof_o in_o the_o year_n 1650_o that_o though_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o several_a fantasy_n of_o several_a man_n something_o may_v be_v alter_v there_o be_v but_o little_a that_o can_v be_v amend_v but_o the_o bulk_n and_o price_n be_v such_o that_o i_o fear_v but_o few_o parent_n will_v be_v willing_a to_o be_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o it_o especial_o for_o such_o stripling_n as_o i_o will_v have_v instruct_v in_o this_o science_n for_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o a_o young_a lad_n that_o can_v but_o read_v his_o psalter_n shall_v not_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o rudiment_n of_o grammar_n and_o the_o art_n of_o arithmetic_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o a_o likely_a way_n to_o teach_v they_o to_o spell_v the_o word_n they_o hear_v as_o well_o as_o those_o they_o see_v and_o so_o by_o consequence_n enable_v they_o to_o write_v true_o as_o well_o as_o read_v distinct_o than_o by_o learn_v a_o latin_a grammar_n i_o leave_v to_o thy_o judgement_n to_o determine_v be_v child_n in_o their_o infancy_n acquaint_v with_o the_o art_n of_o number_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o that_o nature_n will_v be_v difficult_a to_o they_o in_o their_o ripe_a year_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o i_o have_v in_o this_o treatise_n at_o least_o as_o i_o hope_v very_o plain_o as_o well_o as_o brief_o and_o orderly_o set_v down_o the_o most_o useful_a rule_n of_o this_o necessary_a and_o most_o excellent_a science_n and_o will_v but_o our_o english_a schoolmaster_n put_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n i_o
