many_o dispute_n and_o vain_a contention_n which_o since_o the_o year_n 1130._o or_o thereabouts_o have_v trouble_v the_o wit_n and_o quiet_a of_o man_n the_o way_n of_o teach_v youth_n in_o school_n be_v so_o well_o know_v and_o so_o common_a that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o i_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o it_o beside_o that_o every_o one_o follow_v the_o method_n he_o think_v best_o and_o

better_o than_o other_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o conversation_n and_o read_n i_o do_v not_o oppose_v but_o distinguish_v one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o i_o will_v have_v discourse_n use_v sometime_o by_o way_n of_o diversion_n when_o a_o scholar_n be_v not_o in_o a_o humour_n or_o dispose_v to_o learn_v one_o thing_n than_o he_o must_v be_v put_v upon_o another_o or_o instead_o of_o make_v he_o learn_v with_o read_v one_o shall_v teach_v he_o with_o tell_v or_o take_v some_o other_o way_n to_o cheat_v he_o as_o it_o be_v into_o learning_n but_o this_o be_v better_a do_v by_o a_o preceptor_n in_o a_o house_n than_o by_o a_o master_n in_o a_o public_a school_n he_o who_o at_o once_o have_v but_o one_o or_o two_o to_o mind_n can_v better_o take_v his_o time_n and_o have_v more_o leisure_n to_o study_v his_o or_o their_o temper_n and_o according_o order_v or_o alter_v his_o method_n but_o he_o who_o have_v many_o to_o look_v to_o have_v general_o one_o common_a way_n which_o every_o

the_o rule_n and_o precept_n give_v he_o by_o his_o tutor_n it_o be_v record_v of_o cato_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v receive_v any_o document_n from_o he_o he_o inquire_v after_o the_o
