will_v be_v reduce_v to_o this_o single_a point_n of_o do_v only_o a_o easy_a day_n work_v and_o then_o instead_o of_o every_o body_n endeavour_v to_o get_v from_o he_o every_o body_n be_v work_v

be_v understand_v to_o make_v a_o complete_a scholar_n yet_o consider_v word_n lie_v in_o the_o memory_n and_o rule_n in_o the_o understanding_n and_o that_o child_n have_v first_o memory_n before_o

of_o judgement_n and_o the_o put_n of_o rule_n upon_o child_n before_o cripple_v their_o understanding_n when_o boy_n of_o twelve_o year_n old_a be_v as_o long_o again_o at_o school_n learn_v a_o

2._o four_o hour_n in_o a_o morning_n and_o four_o in_o a_o afternoon_n be_v too_o long_o to_o tie_v a_o child_n to_o his_o book_n it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v tie_v upon_o one_o

when_o think_v inflame_v it_o 3._o where_o people_n of_o estate_n be_v willing_a to_o qualify_v their_o child_n with_o what_o learning_n they_o will_v take_v or_o where_o other_o appear_v of_o ready_a and_o pregnant_a understanding_n it_o may_v be_v worth_a encourage_v to_o the_o further_a degree_n yet_o beyond_o read_v and_o write_v further_a learning_n will_v not_o be_v so_o useful_a to_o most_o among_o we_o as_o among_o other_o people_n whilst_o many_o of_o they_o expect_v to_o get_v their_o live_n by_o it_o as_o priest_n lawyer_n etc._n etc._n 4._o though_o learning_n may_v be_v useful_a yet_o a_o virtuous_a education_n tend_v more_o to_o happiness_n here_o and_o hereafter_o and_o what_o be_v a_o great_a impediment_n in_o the_o common_a education_n be_v the_o let_a child_n employ_v

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 business_n though_o slight_a it_o improve_v their_o reason_n by_o sensible_a demonstration_n which_o be_v soon_o learn_v than_o any_o rational_a demonstration_n without_o it_o as_o a_o child_n at_o three_o year_n old_a by_o feel_v know_v fire_n will_v burn_v much_o better_a than_o one_o of_o thirteen_o from_o the_o most_o rational_a discourse_n without_o feel_v whereas_o a_o childish_a silly_a

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

hedge_v from_o evil_a more_o by_o wise_a management_n than_o discourse_n as_o we_o see_v colt_n be_v tame_v more_o by_o it_o than_o word_n all_o which_o consider_v there_o be_v less_o wonder_n any_o

4._o they_o will_v be_v more_o under_o the_o eyesight_n of_o one_o master_n or_o another_o than_o in_o a_o private_a family_n and_o consequent_o prevent_v of_o more_o folly_n 5._o company_n be_v the_o

sufficient_a will_v prevent_v the_o temptation_n of_o go_v abroad_o and_o be_v well_o govern_v will_v much_o prevent_v the_o evil_n that_o be_v learn_v abroad_o 6._o there_o may_v be_v a_o library_n of_o book_n a_o physick-garden_n for_o understanding_n of_o herb_n and_o a_o laboratory_n for_o prepare_v of_o medicine_n and_o though_o ship_n and_o boat_n can_v swim_v in_o the_o college_n the_o
