A16864	A consolation for our grammar schooles: or, a faithfull and most comfortable incouragement, for laying of a sure foundation of all good learning in our schooles, and for prosperous building thereupon More specially for all those of the inferiour sort, and all ruder countries and places; namely, for Ireland, Wales, Virginia, with the Sommer Ilands, and for their more speedie attaining of our English tongue by the same labour, that all may speake one and the same language. ...

singular vse for some speciall benefits thereof as writing true Orthographie and the like as I shall shew in the handling of it Furthermore this very course of translating peeces of Tully or the like good Author into plaine naturall English by the Maister himselfe and giuing them to the Scholar to turne into Latine to trie how neere he can come to the Author and then comparing it with the Author he sets downe in the beginning of his second booke page 2. By this meanes he saw that experience which might seeme almost incredible in that hopefull young Gentleman whose death he so much bewaileth Maister Iohn VVhitney in Sir Anthony Dennies house where the Ladie Elizabeth did lye when he came to serue her that within lesse then the space of a yeare he had so profited in writing pure Latine that as he saith some in seuen yeares in the Grammar Schooles yea some in the Vniuersities could not do halfe so well So afterwards he saw the like in his happiest Schollar that euer England had bred our late Queene who made vs all happie who as hee saith did so farre surpasse all of her yeares in excellencie of Learning and knowledge of diuers Tongues that verie fewe of the rarest wits in the Vniuersities could any way reach vnto her And this seemeth euidently to haue bene the chiefe meanes like as he prooueth at large by the authoritie of many great learned this way of translating to be either the onely or at least the chiefe readie and sure meanes to attaine speedily to any tongue And that I may adde but one other testimonie of a rare and knowne experience in this kind At the Commencement of that right noble and memorable Gentleman Sir Iohn Harington who now rests and reignes with the Lord hauing speech with Maister Touey who had bene a Schoolmaister equall as he was indged to most of the chiefe in that kind but was then wholly employed for the attendance and tuition of that young Noble-man with whom he also liues now in heauen I desired to know this of him that whereas I had writ vnto him formerly to haue taken some paines in setting downe the shortest and best way of teaching according to his experience and now there was a rare fame that God had giuen an extraordinarie blessing to his endeuours with that young Noble-man so that he did of a sodaine go farre beyond most others of his time aboue all former expectation that he would vouchsafe to impart vnto me in a word or two what were the principall meanes he had vsed thereto He acknowledging thankfully that he had indeed seene much experience of Gods mercie therein told mee that this was the principall and summe of his course That he had bene enforced to begin againe euen from the verie Accidence causing him to get the perfect vnderstanding of the Rules for the meaning and vse though he could not the words in so short a time and after that he had caused him to practise continual translating into Latine after this manner That he himselfe had chosen easie places of Tully and other familiar Authors which the Gentleman knew not and caused him to turne them into Latine and after brought him to the Author to compare that which he had written to the same iust according to this last manner mentioned out of Maister Askam After rounding me in the eare he said But shall I tell you It was by Prayer quoth he Hereupon after my returne I set my selfe to put all these in practise yet more seriously then formerly I had done But for this kinde of translating finding the toyle and impossibilitie of it first to translate peeces fit for euerie Forme and after to examine euerie ones exercise how he had translated and to correct them I wholly bent my selfe to trie how this might be done thorow the seuerall lower Formes that they might haue most practise of it Thus trying sundrie waies which were ouer-long to recite and amongst others hauing seene in a chiefe Schoole in London good vse of verball translations amongst some other things I began to thinke that by the meanes of translations of the first Authors which Scholars learne this translating might be practised in each lower Forme continually But there were yet two maine difficulties which had formerly hindred me from any such vse of them First that our vsuall translations did direct the young Scholars vncertainly and sometimes amisse being oft rather to expresse the sense then the words in anie right order of Grammar and that the learners must go by memorie and as it were by rote more then by anie certaintie of Rule vnlesse they were of better iudgement And secondly that for this and other inconueniences translations were generally in disgrace in Schooles Therefore this then I thought necessarie to be my first labour to finde out some certaine rule to follow according to which to frame these translations and which might be the guide of all And herein I vnder Iesus Christ acknowledge my selfe be holden for the rule of construing and translating in the beginning of my Schoole labours now aboue 30. yeares ago first to Maister Crusius since to the reuerend and ancient Schoole-maister Maister Leech Thirdly after them to that painefull Maister Coote of Hunsden in Essex now with the Lord. And fourthly to that learned Go●leuius and to some other of my acquaintance who had likewise taken paines in this rule which they willingly imparted vnto me And so from that time vntil this day I haue still bene labouring to find out the rule more exactly to frame the translations according to the same Secondly this hath bene my next studie to seeke out the right vses and benefits of these translations and so in all things to set them downe as they might be a certaine direction wherby most easily and surely to reape the fruite of them Lastly I haue trauelled herein specially to haue full triall assurance in euerie thing that as I had gathered these amongst other experiments for the vse of all schooles so vpon certaine proofe by my selfe and other of better iudgement I might at length commend them to all learners and so helpe to bring in that excellent vse of them which Maister Askam aduised euen into the Schooles in which they had bene so formerly distasted as that it was thought a Paradox but to name the vse of translations i● them Now vpon this rule and the expressing euerie thing in the translations both in proprietie and also according to the sence and meaning of the author with varietie of other English phrases and supplying what is wanting to make vp the construction with the other things obserued therein especially vpon the rule depend all the chiefe benefits for a certaine Analysis and Genesis both for construing parsing making and tying Latin surely and sundrie of the rest as is shewed at large in the eight Chapter of the Grammar Schoole By the right practise
