instructed CHildren draw neare attend what I say Obserue well these precepts and marke them I pray Though many rules formerly haue beene set out To quicken the spirits of Children in doubt Yet youth is so fickle and loath to be taught That being obserued t is vnseemely and naught For Childrens instructions in vertue and good Foure things must be noted and many withstood The first to be marked is

of all Frame well thy petition and thus to him call Morning Prayer THou father of mercy and maiesty great That sittest aboue in superiour seat Cast downe on me God thy pittifull eyes And order my doings when I shall arise O Father omnipotent doe not permit My thoughts to be wauering bad or vnfit But that my heart may goe with my tongue In prayer deuout and though I be young Assist me O God with wisdome and wit That in this day following whether I goe or sit Or stand or what euer my thoughts shall conceiue It all may be done with thy fauour and leaue So guide me with vertue and loue of thy will That no wicked temptings my purpose may spill Blesse me and my doings with fauour and grace O Lord let not Sathan thy Gospell deface Nor lead me to wickednesse by night or day All this of thy grace I doe heartily pray That when it shall please thée héereafter to call me No subtill deuices of Sathan enthrall me Lord guid me with godlinesse then shall I sing Praise onely to God our heauenly King Amen The charge of children in their carriage THy prayer so commended to God haue a care To wash hands face and to kembing thy haire And then for the schoole bethinke thou to goe The secrets of God the better to know In entring to schoole let eyes be vpcast To God for his blessings formerly past To endue thée with godlinesse vertue and piety Sent thée from heauen from God in his Deity For without his help can nothing be done Nothing be finished nothing begunne Then marke thou with diligence being so prouided What shall at schoole be sayd or decided Let not thy thoughts goe wandring about And not minding thy practice abroad for to scout And answer with shamefastnesse what is required For modesty in youth is chiefly desired Deserue not correction as néere as thou mayst Nor to thy

choyce Of such as for eloquence carry the voyce As Cicero Salust Gellius and Terence Quintilian and others great Authors of reuerence Obserue all with care and diligent eare Thy learning the greater shall grow and appeare The charge of children in going from schoole and comming IN going from schoole obserue it full well In streets stand not staring nor tales sée thou tell What hath béene at schoole sayd spoken or done Among thy companions but home get thée gone And vnto thy parents fee duty thou doe With reuerent carriage and modesty too Not bold or vnmannerly gentle and milde And shew them the office of a dutifull childe If that thou haue time
