A54288	New instructions to the guardian shewing that the last remedy to prevent the ruin, advance the interest, and recover the honour of this nation is I. a more serious and strict education of the nobility and gentry, II. to breed up all their younger sons to some calling and employment, III. more of them to holy orders, with a method of institution from three years of age to twenty one.	Penton, Stephen, 1639-1706.	1694 (1694)	Wing P1440; ESTC R5509	42,499	186
