A87122	Vox populi, or, Glostersheres desire: with, the way and means to make a kingdome happy (by Gods help.) By setting up of schoole-masters in every parish throughout the land generally. Being fit for the help of religious ministers in their heavenly worke. And for the removing of the three capitall enormities of this land, viz. ignorance, prophanesse and idlenesse. Set forth for the benefit of all the young children in the kings dominions: with schoole-lawes and orders, for every English schoole-master, and family, to have in their houses. For the training up young children, both in godlinesse and manners, for the good of the land. With the confuting of certain objections that would hinder and make void so good a worke. by Samuel Harmar.	Harmar, Samuel.	1642 (1642)	Wing H799; Thomason E146_2; ESTC R22931	7,948	12

they will give you the hearing and chide them and there is all the correction they give and this will be a means to encourage Children more in their wickednesse against God and Men whereas if there were a Schoole-master Children would live in fear to hurt the least Childe that should come by them for a Schoole-master-would be a terror to the malitious ones because he would be alwaies resident like a Magistrate to heare the complaints of any that should complain against them and so the Offender shall receive correction for his offence but let the punishment to the Scholler be in mercy the Maste being enjoyned not to give above foure lashes with the Rod that so Children may not be dishartened in going to Schoole because some Schoole-masters are mercilesse in correcting their Schollers The considerations of these evills are sufficient to encourage People to be liberall to gain a Schoole-master for the restraining of the great and manifold vices that are in little Children The second and last Objection How shall poore Children be maintained Answer Those that are painefull Parents and are willing to set their Children to spinning or knitting or to work upon Hemp or Flax or any other worke whereby it may cause plenty of Food and Rayment in a Common-wealth and to prevent complaining in the streets do enjoune their Children to get a Penny before they goe to Schoole and another when they come home which is a commendable thing of those Parents that are thus carefull of their Children If all Children were thus looked unto to gain two pence a day by their labour it would be a good helpe towards their maintenance and besides an ease to the Parish in their dayly taxations Whereas on the contrary playing in the streets againes nothing but poverty in the Land with thousands of curses and oathes fightings and other wicked mischiefes to the great dishonour of God and hurt to the Common-wealth and all for want of a Master over them And furthermore as concerning that Objection How Children shall be maintained at Schoole for provision It is common in the mouthes of many poore people That if they could be free from the charge of their Childrens Schooling they would not charge the Parish for their Childrens maintenance These are sufficient Answers for the overthrow of the two Objections which would hinder so charitable a work and so Religious for the generall good of the Land Therefore let every good Man and Woman poure out their Prayers to God for the speedy and pure purging of those evils reigning in the Land and threatning Gods Judgement upon us and the Kings Dominions And for this end and purpose the Lord Almighty blesse our Honourable House of Peeres and House of Commons that they may take it into their wise and grave considerations speedily to take Gods cause in hand which have been theirs and the Lands mighty preserver And the Lord blesse and preserve their designes and purposes both for the glory of God and the good of Church and State Amen Amen Even so be it WHereas good Lawes in the Land are needfull and maketh Men and Women Live in Subjection even so good Lawes in a Schoole amongst Children will make them the better verst and obedient to the good Lawes of the Land when they shall come to Age Having relation to an English Schoole and observing the Lawes of the Schoole how easily the Master kept his Schollers in godlinesse and manners both for the glory of God and the good of the Land which is an admirable Heavenly thing to see in little Children I thought it good to publish the chiefest Heads as a Patterne for all Schoole-masters to teach their Schollers that they may be a meanes by Gods help to bring a generall joy and comfort through the Land For there are many Schoole-masters which take great paines to make their Schollers excellent in humane Learning but they take little or no care to traine up or teach God inesse and Manners to their Schollers and the Reason is because some of them have but little of it themselves Godlinesse and Manners are the very Diademe and Glory of all Learning What was Herod the better for his Learning when as the People said It was the voice of a God and not of a Man when as he wanted Godlinesse and Manners in that he was bloudy minded to persecute the poore Saints as Peter and James and the rest Therefore good Lawes and Precepts among Children may do a great deale of good to their Soules and Bodies The Lawes are set down in Foure Heads 1 The first cocerning God and his Sabbothes 2 The second is concerning the dutie and love that Children owe to their Fathers and Mothers and their Superiours 3 Their Love to their Brother Sister Servant Schoole-fellowes and Neighbours 4 Their care to their Writing and Reading and to keep their Apparell handsomely and whole about them that so they may not offend their Master and Parents which if they observe and keep they shall be acconnted good Boyes and besides gains great Love from their Masters Parents and Guardians which have the tuition and charge of them The Lawes of the Schoole fit to acquaint young Children with dayly that so when they come to be Men they may be the better fitted to observe the good Lawes of the Land BUt before I come to shew them I purpose to propose and put forth one question Whether Lords or Gentlemen if they intend to make them faire Orchards whether they doe usually plant ouer their ground old Trees or young pleasant plants or stocks It is to be granted that old Trees may grow when they are Planted But neverthelesse there are foure things why great Men and Gentlemen doe not Plant their faire Orchard-ground with old stocks 1 Because old great Trees are cumbersome to deale withall and one or two Men cannot doe it 2 The Windy stormes hath a greater stroak at great Trees to overturne them more then it hath at a young plant or stock 3 Old Trees will cost much charge and labour to prop them up which every gust of Winde endangereth either to overturne the body or at least shake the roote 4 And lastly if the Lord or master desireth to make an Arbour to his Orchard for his pleasure Old trees are not so apt to bend as young Plants or stocks for that worke This I make by way of comparison and doe with all humility set it forth for the glory of God and for the generall good of the Land that the Lord and Commons of both the Houses of Parliament will be pleased to take it into their wise and grave consideration carefully to Plant Orchards of young stockes meaning young Nurseries of generall Schooling in every Parish throughout the Land with a carefull Gardner or Grafter over them put in trust to foster and cherish them up by taking away the hurtfull sprouts and syences of wickednesse that hinder the good growth of them that so at last
