and_o with_o less_o trouble_n than_o now_o they_o do_v in_o school_n sophr._n do_v you_o doubt_v it_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o of_o one_o which_o i_o think_v be_v very_o likely_a instead_o of_o so_o many_o latin_a school_n which_o swarm_v every_o where_o and_o where_o so_o much_o precious_a time_n be_v lose_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o tedious_a and_o linger_a method_n beneficial_a indeed_o to_o schoolmaster_n there_o shall_v be_v in_o every_o province_n some_o college_n erect_v where_o nothing_o but_o latin_a shall_v be_v common_o speak_v for_o when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o quick_a and_o best_a way_n to_o learn_v a_o language_n be_v not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o eye_n as_o by_o the_o ear_n and_o what_o make_v we_o conquer_v vulgar_a language_n so_o much_o soon_o than_o the_o latin_a tongue_n but_o that_o those_o be_v speak_v and_o this_o be_v not_o in_o england_n especial_o phil._n it_o be_v true_a but_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v one_o learn_v to_o speak_v a_o language_n so_o little_a in_o use_n here_o except_o to_o understand_v book_n sophr._n i_o confess_v the_o speak_a part_n be_v so_o much_o out_o of_o date_n here_o even_o among_o the_o great_a scholar_n in_o the_o land_n that_o stranger_n be_v in_o a_o maze_n to_o see_v man_n of_o such_o a_o profound_a learning_n as_o we_o have_v here_o in_o england_n speak_v latin_a with_o so_o much_o hesitancy_n latin_n that_o shall_v be_v by_o right_a the_o general_a and_o stand_a language_n for_o scholar_n of_o any_o nation_n to_o converse_v in_o together_o but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o we_o consider_v how_o this_o language_n be_v teach_v in_o latin-school_n where_o the_o very_a master_n speak_v as_o little_a latin_a and_o deliver_v themselves_o as_o much_o in_o english_a as_o they_o can_v whereas_o if_o they_o do_v use_v their_o scholar_n as_o well_o to_o the_o speak_v as_o the_o read_n part_n it_o will_v not_o only_o forward_o their_o learning_n but_o also_o make_v they_o fit_a to_o converse_v in_o that_o language_n and_o though_o the_o speak_a latin_n be_v not_o altogether_o so_o much_o abroad_o since_o the_o french_a tongue_n come_v up_o as_o it_o have_v be_v former_o yet_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o a_o traveller_n shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o latin_a where_o french_a be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o request_n phil._n in_o short_a i_o perceive_v you_o will_v have_v one_o learn_v latin_n by_o use_v himself_o to_o speak_v it_o because_o you_o conceive_v it_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n sophr._n right_n and_o to_o that_o purpose_n the_o foresay_a college_n shall_v be_v provide_v of_o able_a and_o skilful_a master_n such_o as_o shall_v have_v absolute_o the_o command_n of_o die_v latin_a tongue_n phil._n but_o you_o will_v grant_v sophronius_n that_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o that_o language_n do_v lie_v in_o the_o read_n part._n sophr._n i_o grant_v it_o phil._n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o speak_v nothing_o but_o latin_a in_o the_o school_n will_v advance_v the_o read_n part_v so_o considerable_o as_o you_o imagine_v for_o you_o know_v the_o style_n of_o most_o latin_a writer_n be_v very_o different_a from_o any_o thing_n of_o a_o speak_a style_n sophr._n it_o be_v true_a but_o still_o the_o speak_a part_n i_o hope_v will_v be_v no_o hindrance_n and_o when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o speaker_n have_v this_o advantage_n that_o he_o practise_v his_o language_n two_o way_n that_o be_v by_o read_v and_o speak_v but_o the_o reader_n only_o by_o read_v phil._n there_o you_o be_v in_o the_o right_n now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o you_o will_v order_v your_o college_n sophr._n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o will_v have_v they_o all_o to_o be_v boarder_n that_o shall_v come_v to_o any_o of_o they_o phil._n but_o then_o poor_a parent_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o advantage_n of_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n to_o scholar_n ship_n sophr._n so_o much_o the_o better_o for_o many_o of_o they_o undo_v themselves_o utter_o that_o way_n and_o when_o all_o come_v to_o all_o their_o child_n be_v often_o force_v to_o leave_v off_o for_o want_v of_o help_n and_o than_o what_o signify_v their_o long_a struggle_v toil_a and_o moil_a after_o a_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o compass_v but_o only_o to_o make_v their_o life_n the_o more_o uncomfortable_a whereas_o have_v they_o learn_v a_o good_a trade_n they_o may_v live_v comfortable_o and_o perhaps_o get_v enough_o beside_o to_o give_v their_o child_n a_o good_a education_n and_o so_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v occasion_n to_o repine_v at_o their_o loss_n of_o time_n and_o money_n and_o to_o be_v just_o grieve_v for_o have_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n about_o a_o thing_n which_o now_o be_v to_o be_v forget_v learn_v be_v chargeable_a and_o the_o harvest_n do_v not_o always_o answer_v to_o the_o seed_v it_o be_v i_o confess_v a_o great_a ornament_n and_o advantage_n to_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o estate_n who_o be_v best_a able_a to_o make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o it_o and_o to_o
