teach_v the_o accident_n except_o only_o to_o some_o more_o pregnant_a wit_n which_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v set_v forward_o to_o learn_v latin_a and_o for_o such_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o ground_n

to_o address_v my_o remain_a word_n to_o the_o godly-minded_a trustee_n and_o subscriber_n for_o so_o good_a a_o work_n especial_o to_o those_o among_o they_o that_o know_v i_o and_o my_o

to_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o perfection_n so_o they_o will_v also_o put_v to_o their_o hand_n for_o the_o improvement_n of_o school-learning_n without_o which_o such_o choice_n ability_n as_o they_o

sure_a to_o have_v they_o improve_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o what_o they_o be_v capable_a and_o i_o be_o the_o rather_o induce_v to_o propound_v such_o a_o thing_n because_o that_o late_a eminent_a dr._n bathurst_n late_o decease_v mr._n gouge_n and_o some_o other_o yet_o live_v do_v out_o of_o their_o own_o good_a affection_n to_o learning_n endeavour_v at_o their_o own_o charge_n to_o promote_v the_o like_a chap._n vii_o of_o the_o discipline_n of_o a_o petty-school_n the_o sweet_a and_o orderly_a behaviour_n of_o child_n add_v more_o credit_n to_o a_o school_n then_o due_a and_o constant_a teach_v because_o this_o speak_v to_o every_o one_o that_o the_o child_n be_v well_o teach_v though_o perhaps_o he_o learn_v but_o little_a and_o good_a manner_n indeed_o be_v a_o main_a part_n of_o good_a education_n i_o shall_v here_o therefore_o take_v occasion_n to_o speak_v somewhat_o concerning_o the_o discipline_n of_o a_o petty-school_n leave_v the_o further_a discourse_n of_o

child_n i_o think_v may_v be_v well_o and_o profitable_o teach_v according_a to_o the_o method_n already_o propose_v in_o a_o petty-school_n i_o return_v he_o answer_v that_o i_o conceive_v forty_o boy_n will_v be_v enough_o thorough_o to_o employ_v one_o man_n to_o hear_v every_o one_o so_o often_o as_o be_v require_v and_o so_o many_o he_o may_v hear_v and_o benefit_n of_o himself_o without_o make_v use_n of_o any_o of_o his_o scholar_n to_o teach_v the_o rest_n which_o however_o it_o may_v be_v permit_v and_o be_v practise_v in_o some_o school_n yet_o it_o occasion_v too_o much_o noise_n and_o disorder_n and_o be_v no_o whit_n so_o acceptable_a to_o parent_n or_o please_v to_o the_o child_n be_v the_o work_n never_o so_o well_o do_v and_o therefore_o i_o advise_v that_o in_o a_o place_n where_o a_o great_a concour_n of_o child_n may_v be_v have_v there_o be_v more_o master_n than_o one_o employ_v according_a to_o the_o spaciousness_n of_o the_o room_n and_o the_o number_n of_o boy_n to_o be_v teach_v so_o that_o every_o forty_o scholar_n may_v have_v one_o to_o teach_v they_o and_o in_o case_n there_o be_v boy_n enough_o to_o be_v teach_v i_o will_v appoint_v one_o single_a master_n to_o attend_v one_o single_a form_n and_o have_v as_o many_o master_n as_o there_o be_v form_n and_o then_o the_o work_n of_o teach_v little_a one_o to_o the_o height_n of_o their_o

a_o supervisor_n or_o inspector_n to_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a school_n be_v well_o and_o orderly_o teach_v and_o discipline_v what_o i_o have_v here_o write_v concerning_o the_o teach_v and_o
