the mind to forethinke Imperalinguae sayde Sasiades Lodouico In the time of Aristotle there liued an Athenian Sophister a learned Doctor called Isocrates who had manie Schollers in the arte of Oratorie among the rest a young man verie talkatiue came vnto him beeing named Careo and intreated that hee woulde accept of him among the rest of his Schollers onelie to learne the arte of Rhetorique whereto hee condiscended but couenaunting about the price Isocrates demaunded double salarie of him beyonde anie other Scholler He desirous to knowe the reason thereof and alleaging greate iniurie offered him therein Isocrates thus answèred You speake much and very euill wherefore to teache you to speake well I must labour you with two faculties one how to holde your peace the other how you ought to speake which double paines makes me to demaund double wages Claudio An excellent answere in good sooth worthilie beseeming such a Philosopher and Oratour and verie apte to checke the bablarie of young heades nowe in these dayes who are verie prodigall in speeche whereof they ought to bee much more sparing in regarde according to Apollonius loquacitie is full of errours and silence most secure In euery degree to speake little is best beseeming but in youthe aboue all other it is most necessarie and in a young man it is an ornamente so fayre and beautifull as the curling hayres doe not more embellishe a delicate virgine the chaine of golde about her necke the pendentes at her eares the bracelettes about her wristes the iewell on her breast and the vnualuable gemme on her finger as gratious modesty and sweetly beseeming silence doth decorate and set forth a ciuill young man Euerie one shoulde bee very niggardlie of speeche and youth not speake at all excepte they bee questioned Adolescens sayeth Salomon loquere in tua causa vix cùm necesse fuerit Thou that art young speak if neede require and yet scarcely when thou art twise asked Because saith Seneca there is not any thing that renders a more commodious quiet to the minde then seldome or little speaking and taking liberty to thinke on how much soeuer Therefore the sweetnesse of conuersing and the delicacie of reasoning is some kinde of viandes so relishable and pleasing or as a sallade so agreeing with the appetite that by little and little it guideth men to the discouerie of great secretes little lesse or no otherwise then as wine and loue doeth from whence without order growes a thousand scandals and vexations Hereupon we reade that Anacharsides a learned Philosopher and an honorable Scithian brother vnto Cadnidus king of Scithia in a fayre Quadrant wherein his owne picture was curiouslie painted wrote this sentence Continere a lingua gula venere as meaning that the sinne of the tongue was no lesse then that of gluttony or luxurie Lodouico Nay rather greater if there neede any degree of order for placing the continencie of the tongue in the beginning he alludeth thereby that the sinne thereof is worse then that of gourmandise or luxurie which if in euery man it be vnseemely in young men then aboue all other it is most contemptible The first precept therefore that parents should teache their children is to speake modestly and vnder controwlements Dauid had many sonnes whome he instructed from their infancie in diuine precepts and that which he taught them fust of all was to praise God and speake holylie for being exalted to the kingdome and lying vpon his royall bed hee called his children about him and sayd Laudate pueri Dominum laudate nomen Domini And they with obedient childrens voyces in true and holy simplicitie sayd Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc vsque in saeculum A solis ortu vsque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus et super caelos gloria eius Blessed be the name of the Lord from henceforth and for euer The Lords name is praised from the rising of the Sunne vnto the going downe of the same The Lord is high aboue all nations and his glorie aboue the heauens with all the rest that followeth These diuine prayses were the first documents which he taught them to speake and this ought to be the first instruction of euery faithfull father or mother to teache their children in their very tenderest yeares to mooue their lippes first in laude of their maker The vine the Iuie and the mellone are plants alike which of their owne nature will not exalt themselues but if by chaunce they finde any tree neere neighbouring then they wil claspe and wreathe about it and by the helpe thereof attaine to such strength as oftentimes they goe beyond them in height which of themselues they were not else able to doe but continuallie should else creepe along vpon the ground Euen such perhappes might prooue the condition of young childrē of themselues knowing nothing they would remaine dumbe as it were but following the steppes of theyr parentes and learning by them to talke hearing murmuring cursing swearing and vnseemly speeches in their parents their weake naked vnderstanding begins euen then to apprehend the same and often times before they know well how to call for breade can readily blaspheme God sweare curse and speake euill So on the contrarie by the Parents good example they may increase in vertue make profit of holy exercises and learne to liue christianlie but if they shewe them wanton and lasciuious sportes banquets vncleanely actions of life frayes disorders and such like then shall ye heare from them nothing but the fruits of such instruction blasphemies oathes reuilings and false forswearings in which corrupt course and wicked qualities they learne many times to out-goe all other lewd children yea and perhaps their bad Parents themselues Claudio Assuredly it is most true and to this purpose I can tell you a very pretie storie In the Sea among other kinde of fishes there chaunced to be some commonly called Crabbes or Creuisses which had many feete and alwayes vsed to goe backwarde quite contrarie to all the rest among whome they liued Their father and mother seeing them goe thus backward began to reprehend them for it in this manner My children quoth the father we haue begotten you and brought you vp hitherto with no meane care and now in recompence of our greate trauaile will you so shame vs that beeing growne to indifferent stature you haue not yet learned how to goe but shape your course quite contrarie to all other that liue among vs You see that we are in a daungerous place where the greatest fishes doe eate vp the smaller frie therefore to preuent the subtill wiles of our enemies labour your selues to goe forward and not backward otherwise if you hold on still this gate you may meet with our aduersaries and so be most pittifully deuoured by them The young ones hearing this began to bee very sorrowfull
