reason_n of_o they_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n to_o do_v that_o afterward_o and_o because_o i_o suppose_v a_o morality_n which_o be_v christian_a who_o precept_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n i_o will_v begin_v with_o these_o doctrine_n first_o of_o all_o to_o instruct_v the_o child_n i_o have_v already_o touch_v upon_o this_o when_o i_o say_v we_o ought_v to_o begin_v with_o they_o by_o teach_v they_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o mention_v those_o which_o shall_v be_v first_o plant_v in_o their_o memory_n for_o the_o first_o instruction_n of_o religion_n shall_v then_o be_v instill_a into_o they_o when_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o advisable_v to_o employ_v they_o in_o any_o formal_a lesson_n be_v careful_a to_o recount_v to_o they_o a_o great_a many_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o maxim_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v furnish_v with_o principle_n of_o reason_v when_o they_o shall_v afterward_o come_v to_o have_v the_o strength_n of_o attention_n and_o the_o habit_n of_o think_v these_o discourse_n will_v be_v as_o it_o be_v seed_n sow_v at_o all_o adventure_n which_o spring_v up_o and_o bring_v forth_o more_o or_o less_o as_o the_o soil_n be_v fruitful_a and_o heaven_n be_v favourable_a i_o shall_v not_o here_o dilate_v upon_o the_o particular_a method_n of_o teach_v religion_n what_o i_o have_v say_v upon_o this_o subject_n may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o historical_a catechism_n when_o child_n have_v learn_v this_o catechism_n or_o any_o other_o that_o be_v better_a and_o be_v capable_a to_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n care_n shall_v be_v take_v to_o make_v they_o know_v the_o outward_a beauty_n thereof_o i_o mean_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o different_a style_n that_o they_o observe_v in_o the_o history_n how_o choice_n and_o orderly_o place_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v how_o short_a lively_a and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n how_o clear_a the_o narration_n be_v that_o they_o take_v notice_n in_o the_o poetry_n of_o the_o nobleness_n of_o the_o elocution_n the_o variety_n of_o figure_n the_o sublimity_n of_o the_o thought_n in_o the_o moral_a book_n of_o the_o elegance_n and_o brevity_n of_o the_o sentence_n in_o the_o prophet_n the_o vehemence_n of_o the_o reproach_n and_o threaten_n and_o the_o richness_n of_o the_o expression_n that_o all_o this_o be_v show_v to_o they_o by_o comparison_n with_o profane_a author_n who_o the_o learned_a esteem_n so_o much_o and_o that_o it_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n forget_v to_o signify_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o translation_n do_v not_o come_v up_o to_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o original_a language_n the_o same_o profane_a author_n will_v further_o help_v they_o to_o understand_v the_o manner_n of_o this_o first_o antiquity_n and_o cause_v they_o not_o to_o be_v surprise_v by_o a_o great_a many_o mode_n of_o act_v and_o speak_v which_o offend_v the_o ignorant_a when_o they_o read_v the_o scripture_n which_o be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o do_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o israelite_n i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v useful_a to_o give_v they_o some_o slight_a knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n and_o other_o ecclesiastical_a author_n for_o i_o be_o concern_v to_o see_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o christian_n who_o study_n know_v virgil_n and_o cicero_n better_a than_o st._n augustin_n or_o st._n chrysostom_n you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o in_o they_o we_o do_v not_o meet_v with_o that_o wit_n and_o knowledge_n which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o pagan_a author_n and_o that_o christian_a author_n be_v proper_a for_o none_o but_o priest_n and_o devout_a person_n their_o title_n holy_a be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o they_o and_o doubtless_o make_v many_o person_n believe_v that_o their_o work_n be_v full_a only_o of_o ungrateful_a exhortation_n or_o meditation_n man_n seek_v philosophy_n in_o aristotle_n and_o put_v he_o to_o the_o torture_n much_o against_o his_o will_n to_o accommodate_v he_o to_o christianity_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v in_o st._n augustin_n a_o philosophy_n altogether_o christian_n at_o least_o morality_n metaphysic_n and_o the_o most_o solid_a part_n of_o logic_n for_o as_o for_o natural_a philosophy_n he_o do_v not_o apply_v himself_o thereto_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o seek_v for_o eloquence_n in_o st._n chrysostom_n in_o st._n gregory_n nazianzen_n and_o in_o st._n cyprian_n as_o well_o as_o in_o demosthenes_n and_o cicero_n and_o why_o in_o they_o shall_v we_o not_o also_o look_v for_o morality_n rather_o than_o in_o plutarch_n and_o seneca_n prudentius_n indeed_o be_v not_o so_o good_a a_o poet_n as_o horace_n be_v but_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v for_o he_o have_v write_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o wit_n and_o elegance_n without_o borrow_v the_o ornament_n of_o the_o ancient_n which_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o his_o subject_n in_o a_o word_n i_o will_v have_v the_o young_a man_n early_o advertise_v that_o several_a saint_n even_o those_o who_o be_v most_o zealous_a for_o religion_n and_o most_o severe_a in_o their_o manner_n as_o st._n basil_n st._n gregory_n nazianzen_n st._n athanasius_n be_v great_a wit_n and_o very_o polite_a man_n and_o if_o they_o have_v undervalue_v human_a learning_n and_o the_o science_n it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o want_v knowledge_n but_o because_o they_o know_v better_a moreover_o to_o balance_v the_o human_a virtue_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v among_o the_o ancient_a greek_n and_o roman_n i_o will_v make_v my_o scholar_n observe_v not_o only_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o virtue_n but_o much_o great_a and_o other_o altogether_o unknown_a to_o the_o pagan_n such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v find_v either_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o the_o most_o approve_a ecclesiastical_a history_n i_o will_v let_v he_o see_v the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o constancy_n of_o the_o martyr_n by_o the_o most_o authentic_a act_n yet_o remain_v as_o those_o of_o st._n pionius_n priest_n of_o smyrna_n of_o st._n euplius_n deacon_n of_o catanea_n in_o sicily_n of_o pope_n stephen_n and_o of_o so_o many_o other_o the_o read_n of_o which_o be_v most_o delightful_a i_o shall_v make_v he_o admire_v the_o patience_n and_o angelic_a purity_n of_o the_o solitary_a by_o the_o relation_n of_o st._n athanasius_n st._n jerom_n palladius_n cassian_n and_o many_o other_o grave_a author_n last_o i_o will_v let_v he_o know_v those_o who_o live_v as_o good_a christian_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o worldly_a business_n and_o great_a employ_v as_o the_o emperor_n theodosius_n st._n pulcheria_n charlemaign_n st._n lewis_n though_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o know_v that_o there_o never_o be_v any_o age_n wherein_o the_o church_n have_v not_o her_o great_a saint_n and_o to_o observe_v their_o different_a character_n nevertheless_o to_o have_v a_o great_a and_o holy_a idea_n of_o christianity_n it_o be_v adviseable_a chief_o to_o dwell_v upon_o the_o first_o age_n wherein_o the_o virtue_n be_v more_o frequent_a and_o the_o discipline_n more_o vigorous_a thus_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o christian_n whether_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n or_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o church_n liberty_n shall_v be_v plain_o represent_v their_o domestic_a way_n of_o live_v the_o form_n of_o their_o assembly_n the_o prayer_n fast_n and_o

the_o great_a principle_n of_o morality_n or_o rather_o he_o will_v have_v the_o thing_n itself_o for_o i_o will_v advise_v that_o during_o this_o time_n he_o shall_v be_v teach_v the_o rule_n thereof_o by_o the_o read_n of_o holy_a scripture_n particular_o the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n for_o sunday_n the_o principal_a holiday_n and_o lent_n and_o some_o little_a work_n of_o the_o father_n as_o the_o confession_n of_o st._n augustin_n the_o office_n of_o st._n ambrose_n the_o consideration_n of_o st._n bernard_n and_o because_o this_o study_n shall_v be_v carry_v on_o by_o little_a
