England may become an admirable Orchard full of fruit-Trees being made fit for the service of God and good Trees and Members for the Common wealth There are many Clarkes and others that have no imployment would be glad to keep Schoole if they might have maintenance As good Lawes doe keep and preserve Peace in a Land for the good of all the Subjects to keep them in Subjection So good Lawes sowne among Children dayly in the Schoole will be a speciall meanes to keep them in Subjection both for the glory of God the good of themselues and the joy and comfort of their Master that have the tuition of them Religious and Morrall Precepts of the Master to his Schollers called the Lawes of the Schools davided into foure Parts The first concerning God and his Sabboths The second is of the Childs Duty and Love that he oweth to his Father his Mother and his Superiours The third sheweth how he should have his tongue so tipped with good words that he may minister grace or yeeld a good example of grace to the hearers Fourthly and lastly sheweth how a Childe should order himselfe to gaine Learning and to keep his Apparell handsomely in the sight of People First That the Childe take heed that he swear not in every vaine talke by the God that made him Secondly that he swear not by our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour and Redeemer Thirdly swear not by Christs blood and wounds nor by any part of his body because the Lord saith For the very cause of Oathes the Land shall ●ourue Therefore take head to thy Tongue that you pluck not a Plague and Judgement upon thy selfe and the whole Land for thy sake as Achan did upon Israel Likewise beware of lying which is a srnit of the Tongue A common Lyar is an Enemy to the God of Truth And the Scripture saith that God is the God and Father of Truth but the Devill is the Father of Lyer these Offences against God deserves fovre lashes on the Hand with the Rod. Againe it is a speciall Duty belonging to God and the very Life of Reigeon that a Child sanctifie and keepe holy Gods Sabbothes Therefore beware of Gameing Gadding and wanton pastime which draw the heart away from Gods service The Christian Sabboth is the day of their Saviours Christs Resurrection which they keep holy above other daies For Christs Resurrection is the Faithfull Christians Justification as the Apostle sheweth saying Christ was delivered for our Offences and raised againe for our Justification Therefore Christsians observe that day to the Lord for if Christ had not risen both Jewes and Gentiles had all come short of the glory of God he that shall prophane this day deserveth foure lashes with the Rod on the Hand 2 Precept commandeth the Childe to be loving and dutifull to his Father Mother and his Superiours and Elders being as ready to doe their will in good things as the Servants of the Centurion which when their Master bid them go they stirred in a moment and went with speed when he bid them come they came not carelesly but willingly and last of all when he bid them do this or that thing they did it faithfully readily and with speed which is a commendable thing in a Scoller to doe the ●ike the neglect of this duty and love deserves three lashes on the Hand I have read of a Child possest with the Devill at the Mothers curse because it frowned and fumed and would not doe as the Mother bid it a warning to Children not to be idle and mothers not to be too hasty of their words 3 Beware of cursing rayling against any one which is a filthy thing in the Tongue of any Man Woman or Childe The Angel of God did not raile against the Devill and King Dauid did not raile against Shemei and Christ Jesus the very mirrour of humility and patience did not raile nor revile at his persecutors but committed his cause only to God who saith Vengeance is mine and I will repay it and againe he giveth to every Man according to his doing whether good or bad Likewise beware of setting nick names upon any Mans Person being deformed or upon any Mans po●●ession be it never so base if he b● needfull in the Common-wealthe for God despiseth not foolish things not base things nor weak things if they stand with the Lord and take his part therfore do not thou set nick names upon them if thou dost thou shalt have three lashes with the Rod on the Hand And lastly sheweth a Child how to order himselfe to gaine Learning and to keep his Apparell First a Childe must take heed that he keep his stops in Reading that he hackle not nor hamble his words in a humming snaffling way through the Nose Likewise that he be carefull to keep his Book clean from blots that he write not crooked out of the line that he keep his Letters even and streight together keeping a distance betweene every Word and not linking words together like a chaine from one end of the line to the other and so make a confusion that the Reader can make no sence of it which is a fault amongst many writers writing to their Friends in that they cobble all their words together The next thing a Childe must see to is his Apparell he must take heed that his Apparell be cleane from dirting whole from tearing that his Stockings be kept gartered his shooes pointed and like a neate Scholler behaving himselfe in such a civell manner that he may be a companion for his betters then shall his Master love him and commend him Likewise he must be courteous to all Men and when he meeteth his Elders that he put off his Hat and give them them the time of the Day this Scholler-like courteous carriage shall not onely gain their Parents love but also Neighbours and strangers will love them and commend them the neglect of this behaviour will deserve three lashes on the Hand Other things there might be put in to warne children that they doe it not as ●ea●ing fighting hurting one another in jest or earnest all which are breaches of Peace wherefore for the rest which I have omitted I leave it to the wisedom of the wise Schoole-master to adde more Lawes or better according as he shall see good but this is the end of my de●●re who I hope there are many more of the same I should be glad to see little children trained up in a Religious and civill way of life which is the Grace of a Family of a Towne or City when the children belonging unto those places are well educated and brought up The Voice of the Parliament may doe very much in this thing a thousand Preachers cannot compare with them for the duelling of sin at this time I pray God to give them a time in his good time to bring every good work to passe for his glory and the Kingdomes good and theirs Now if these Schoole Lawes or the like might be compelled to be read in every English Schoole twice a Week like a Lesson of Instruction it would be a speciall meanes by the held of God to bring a very great reformation in little childrens Hearts for the Law being onely read is a terror and a Rod to milde children that have a filiall feare in them though they see none corrected for breaking the Law Now when these filiall children that have the Law in their Hearts with much fear lest they should offend those I say will be a speciall meanes like little Preachers to rebuke and perswade other children that are of a servile add obstinate Nature that they come not in the compasse of their Masters correction and so by this meanes and Gods blessing with it the stream and tide of wickednesse which one carried many thou●ands headlong to wickednesse shall not run so violent as it hath done in times past but shall be asswaged with the low and humble ebbe of Godlinesse and goodnesse for with the meek and lowly the Lord is pleased to dwell and such as delight in goodnesse the Lord is pleased to delight in them according as the Holy Ghost faith Those that Honour me I will Honour So praying to God for a good successe in these things desiring every good Christian to do the same for it is goodnesse that will make us happy and not greatnesse onely for greatnesse cannot deliver one in the Day of the Lords wrath but goodnesse will make a Man happy and joyfull through Christ Jesus at the Houre of Death Psal 112.7.8 FINIS

VOX POPULI OR GLOSTERSHERES DESIRE WITH The Way and Means to make a Kingdome Happy by Gods help By setting up of Schoole-masters in every Parish throughout the Land generally Being fit for the help of Religious Ministers in their Heavenly Worke. And for the removing of the three Capitall enormities of this Land viz. Ignorance Prophanesse and Idlenesse Set forth for the Benefit of all the young Children in the Kings Dominions With Schoole-Lawes and Orders for every English Schoole-Master and Family to have in their Houses For the training up young Children both in Godlinesse and Manners for the good of the Land With the confuting of certain Objections that would hinder and make void so good a Worke. By Samuel Harmar London Printed for Thomas Bates and are to be sould at hsi Shop in the Old-Bayly 1642. VOX POPULI on Glostershires Desire The great Evils that doe Vuiversaly spread over the Land are three that is to say Igrorance Prophanesse and Idlenesse THe speciall theanes by God help to precent thoser evils is for to pray That the Honourable Assembly of Parliament will be pleased to take it into their wise and grave consideration that honest and Religious Schoole-masters may be planted in every Parish throughout the Land which is able to maintain one It is verily beleeved that an honest Schoole-master in every Parish will be a special help to a Religio us Minister in siding with him for the trayning up young Children in godlinesse and manners which worke no good Christian can deny the setting up seeing it is a work which much tendeth to the worship of God and the good of the Common-wealth It is a great complaint in many parts of the Realme amongst Religious Ministers to see how little their Preaching and Doctrine have thrived and wrought in the hearts of many young and old people One main reason of this barrennesse in goodnesse is for want of such a member in every Parish to educate and instruct all the Children in the Parish as well the poore as the rich that so the poor est may be taught to write and reade which many wealthy Fathers at this time would give much if they could doe it And besides the Children shall be taught to understand the Principles of Religion concerning their Faith and Hope they being Catechized in such a Catechise as the Learned Synod with the Approbation of the Honourable House shall think most meet to be raught in all Schooles of the Realme for the easie and plain understanding of the grounds of Divinity If this care be taken in every Parish it will be a great means to keep Men and Women from so many divisions of opinions which are sprung up amongst us to the great trouble of the Land and disturbance of many peoples mindes It is the prayer and desire of many good people that this charitable work of generall Schooling may take effect in the whole Land for the restraining of vice and for the good of poore Mens Children And besides by the blessing of God it will be a great means to work a Reformation in the whole Land and beger a uniformity in Religion among us which is now much out of joynt though there is as the Apostle saith but one Body one Spirit in a Man one Hope one Lord one Faith and one Baptisme A second Benefit that will acrue and arise by having an honest Schoole-master in every Parish it will be a speciall means to keepe Children out of Idlenesse for when there is a habit of Idlenesse bred in the bones of little Children it will hardly go out of the Flesh for as the Vessell is first seasoned so it will taste long of the liquor whether good or bad And this Idlenesle among the poorer sort of chidren by playing in the Streets the better part of the Day rather desiring to beg then to worke this Idle life at length leadeth poore children either to become beggers or theeues and this is one cause why Countries and Cities are so opprest with beggers in many places at this present and if it happen that these Idle Persons if they cannot get their living by begging they will adventure to stea'e and so do much hurt many yeares to many of the Kings Subjects before they be taken And all this mischiefe to the Land in generall doth greatly arise from the first cruse which is the want of a Schoole-master in every Parish Many Parishes at this time do greatly complain for the want of a Religious Schoole-master to teach their Children as well as for a sober Religious Minister among them to teach them There are two Objections which some malignants object for the overthrow of this so Religious and Common-wealth work for the generall good of the Land First they say Who shall pay for Childrens Schooling And secondly how shall they be maintained The first is answered If the Law of the Land do enjoyne and rate mens estates toward the relieving of the poore in their Parishes The question is asked whether the same Law may not aswell enjoyne a rate upon Mens estates for the maintaining of so charitable a work which is the publike good of the Land and will be a speciall means to prevent Idlenesse among Children with beggery and theevery which are apt to follow Idlenesse as is shewed before and are great and heavie burdens lying on the Land at this time Againe there is another great help for the easie furthering of this work of generall Schooling they that have no Children and great Estates may be somthing more liberall then others that have a charge of Children seeing the work is so profitable sot the puplike good It is reported that some that have but twenty pound per Annum would be willing to give ten shillings per Annum out of their estates to raise a competent maintenance to encourage a Schoole-master to take paines and to wait upon his calling Also that Children may be kept out of the streets whereas now they curse and swear drawing the vengeance of God upon the Land And besides neither Man nor Beast can passe by them quietly for some are so unhappy like those Children that meeked the old Prophet Elisha that neither Men Women nor Children upon their businesse can passe by them without a mocke or it may be a stone at them And as for the poore dumbe Beasts they cannot passe by them for either they will throw stones at them or else force them into Brooks or Pooles and so danger them or else force them over Hedges and Ditches breaking their Legs or breaking their Necks so that now let Men judge whether it be not a necessary needfull work to set up generall Schooling over the Land for the reforming of Children from those vices which they Act against God by belching out dayly fearefull curses and oathes and also by abusing and hurting both old Men and children and dumbe beasts Tell some Fathers of these ungod y hurtfull Children what hurt their Children do
