beside_o read_v boy_n and_o girl_n may_v be_v teach_v to_o knit_v and_o spin_v and_o big_a boy_n turn_v etc._n etc._n and_o begin_v young_a they_o will_v make_v the_o best_a artist_n and_o be_v upon_o

for_o a_o child_n will_n to_o be_v keep_v under_o another_o direction_n than_o its_o own_o it_o will_v be_v the_o less_o difficult_a to_o submit_v it_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n when_o grow_v a_o

this_o will_v be_v a_o great_a charity_n than_o most_o gift_n by_o the_o great_a good_a it_o will_v do_v to_o the_o poor_a so_o it_o will_v be_v as_o certain_a profit_n to_o the_o founder_n as_o most_o trade_n and_o consequent_o worth_a some_o of_o their_o time_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o trade_n 5._o if_o evil_a man_n corrupt_v and_o debauch_v their_o fellow_n creature_n by_o the_o

a_o body_n will_v subsist_v better_a than_o if_o single_a because_o when_o together_o their_o labour_n will_v provide_v conveniency_n one_o for_o another_o which_o single_a person_n can_v do_v little_a at_o 3._o whateve_a calamity_n will_v ruin_v a_o college_n will_v much_o easy_a ruin_n single_a person_n and_o therefore_o if_o danger_n of_o lose_v all_o its_o best_a for_o the_o rich_a to_o

in_o a_o good_a method_n they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o help_v their_o old_a benefactor_n when_o the_o rich_a may_v have_v nothing_o to_o help_v themselves_o nor_o can_v work_v for_o want_n of_o use_n
