the_o counsel_n of_o a_o father_n to_o his_o son_n in_o ten_o several_a precept_n leave_v as_o a_o legacy_n at_o his_o death_n the_o induction_n or_o preface_n son_n the_o virtuous_a inclination_n of_o thy_o matchless_a mother_n by_o who_o tender_a and_o godly_a care_n thy_o infancy_n be_v govern_v together_o with_o thy_o education_n under_o so_o godly_a and_o zealous_a a_o tutor_n put_v i_o rather_o in_o assurance_n then_o hope_v that_o thou_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o that_o summary_n bond_n which_o be_v only_o able_a to_o make_v thou_o happy_a aswell_o in_o thy_o life_n as_o death_n i_o mean_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o thy_o creator_n and_o redeemer_n without_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v vain_a and_o miserable_a so_o that_o thy_o youth_n be_v guide_v by_o so_o al-sufficient_a a_o teacher_n i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v furnish_v thy_o life_n both_o with_o divine_a and_o moral_a document_n yet_o that_o i_o may_v not_o cast_v of_o the_o care_n beseem_v a_o

cautelous_a course_n whereinto_o this_o world_n and_o thy_o lack_n of_o experience_n may_v easy_o draw_v thou_o and_o because_o i_o will_v not_o confound_v thy_o memory_n i_o have_v reduce_v they_o into_o ten_o precept_n if_o thou_o imprint_v they_o in_o thy_o mind_n thou_o shall_v reap_v the_o benefit_n and_o i_o the_o contentment_n and_o these_o be_v they_o the_o first_o pecept_n first_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o bring_v thou_o to_o man_n estate_n use_v great_a providence_n and_o circumspection_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o thy_o wife_n for_o from_o thence_o may_v spring_v
