his Genius and not to wrest nature as Musitians say out of her key or as Tullie saith to contend with her making the Spaniel to carrie the Asses loade which was well obserued by the Lacedamonians and ancient Romanes in laying forth instruments of sundry occupations before their children at a certaine age they to choose what liked them best and euer after to take vpon them that profession whereunto they belonged How many are put by worldly and couetous fathers inuita Minerua to the studie of the lawes which studie I confesse to be Honourable and most deseruing who notwithstanding spend most of

had they not fallen accidentally vpon it either through death of friends harshnesse of Masters and Tutors thereby driuen from the Vniuersitie as an Honorable friend of mine in the Low Countries hath many times cōplained vnto me or the most common mischiefe miserablenesse of greedie parents the ouerthrow and vndoing of many excellent and prime wits who to saue charges marrie a daughter or preferre a yonger brother turne them out into the wide world with a little money in their purses or perhaps none at all to seeke their Fortunes where Necessitie deiects and besots their spirits not knowing what calling or course to take enforceth them desperate to begge borrow or to worse and baser shiftes which in their owne natures they detest as hell to goe on foote lodge in Ale-houses and fort

daily maintained Grammarians Logicians Rhetoricians Painters Caruers Riders of great horses and the skilfullest Huntsmen he could get to instruct and teach them in their seuerall professions and
