THE True and Readie Way To Learne the LATINE TONGUE Attested by Three Excellently Learned and Approved Authours of Three Nations Viz. Eilhardus Lubinus a German Mr. Richard Carew of Anthony in Cornwall The French Lord of Montaigne Presented to the Vnpartiall both Publick and Private Considerations of those that seek the Advancement of LEARNING in these NATIONS By Samuel Hartlib Esq LONDON Printed by R. and W. Leybourn for the Common-wealth of Learning MDCLIV TO The Right Honourable FRANCIS ROVS Esquire SPEAKER of the PARLIAMENT Of the Common-Wealth of ENGLAND Mr. SPEAKER ALthough the Designes of this Age do tend as I am verily perswaded to a thorough Reformation yet hitherto we cannot see much more then the Overthrow and Deformation of former Establishments partly because there is much rubbish to be removed partly because it is not possible to build a new House where an old one is standing till the old one be pulled down Yet no wise man will lay his old habitation waste till he know what to erect instead thereof Hence it is that a New Modell is commonly first prepared before the old one be removed I know not how far this Course hath been taken by others but in the Sphere wherein I have walked my Aime hath been rather to take away the Difficulties then to lay them open rather to suggest a Remedie then to discourse of the Disease for there is no end of Complaints on all hands seeing each Party doth lay open the others faults and few or none tell us how they ought to be mended For indeed it is easier to see a mote or a web in another mans eye then to take it out and most men think themselves justified when they have condemned others whose way is different from that which they have Chosen And although this seems to be in all other matters the Ordinary Practice yet in the Wayes of Education and the Reformation of Schools the deepest foundation of all other good Settlement both in Church and Common-wealth it hath not been followed hitherto But my honoured Friend Mr. John Amos Comenius and some other Fellow-labourers and Correspondents in this Work with my self have studied to make as little Alteration as could be seeking onely the best Advantages which upon the Ordinary Foundations of School-teaching could be introduced and in this Endeavour for a great many years we have Continued and many wayes attempts have been made to facilitate the Course of Universall Learning and especially the teaching of Learned Tongues and to abridge the time which is spent and to ease the toil which is taken therein but when all is done we finde after long experience that it will be impossible to raise a Firme and Commodious Building upon the Old Foundation for which Cause I must needs shew now the weaknesse and defaults thereof And because it is no small difficultie and hazard to venture upon the contradicting of a Custome so Universally received as is the Grammatical Tyranny of teaching Tongues Therefore I am willing to make an Appeal and seek out an Eminent Patron for this bold Attempt not doubting that Your Impartiall Judgement not wedded to things because they are Customary and received will look into this thing with a more single eye to discern the truth of that which is offered then others can do that are either so far engaged unto the Road-way that they will not think of any better Course to be taken or suspect all New Designes as light Projects of unsetled braines but I hope Your Solid Judgement and large Experience of my constant behaviour will absolve me from the guilt of Levity in prosecuting all the Wayes whereby Learning may be advanced Seeing it hath been a great part of my Study above these twenty years nor have I been alone in this Work but many others of great Worth and Abilities have been obliged to contribute their help unto me Nor is it the Scope of this Treatise wherein others speak more then I so much to overthrow what is in use as to introduce a Better Easier and Readier Way of Teaching But how to Introduce the Way which is here intimated into the Publique Schools of this Common-wealth will be a matter of further deliberation then is fit for me now to enter upon it may be hoped that the Honourable Committee for the Advancement of Learning will be inclined to reflect upon this matter and consider the feasablenesse thereof and haply something as a Proposall in this Kinde may be offered unto them wherein Your Grave Recommendation to set their thoughts a working may have a special influence in due time Therefore lest I might seem at this time troublesome more then is needful I shall take my leave and humbly subscribe my self ver Your Honours most devoted and obliged Servant Samuel Hartlib L. Verul in his Book of the Advancement of Learning ALL those things are to be held possible and performable which may be accomplisht by some Persons though not by every one and which may be done by the united labours of many though not by any one apart and which may be finisht by the Publique Care and Charge though not by the Ability and Industry of Particular Persons THE True and Ready Way to learn the Latine Tongue expressed in an Epistolary Discourse of Eilhardus Lubinus before his New Edition of the New TESTAMENT To The most Illustrious and High Prince and Lord PHILIP Duke of the Stetinenses Pomerans Cassubians and Vandals Prince of Rugia Earl of Gutzcow Lord of Lowenburg and Butow My very Good LORD Grace and peace in CHRIST JESUS I Shall endeavour most Illustrious Prince and my singular good Lord to perform that in this my Preliminarie Epistle prefixed to this New Edition of the New Testament which I promised a great while ago in matter of my Judgement or Advice such as it is touching a certain Ready and Short Way and Course whereby the younger sort may seeme to be in a possibility of being brought to the Latine Tongue without either great labour or long time Any honest man knowes he is bound to make good to every private person though never so mean those things which he hath undertoo●● how much more may I conceive my self obliged to such a Prince whom even for his excellent Vertue and rare Learning in such a Fortune all the learned Common-wealths throughout the whole Christian World do admire and reverence And seeing I am not ignorant of what I promised your Highnesse and how free I have been in my promises there remains it should seem nothing else for me but either to perform my promises and indeed to perform them so as may prove satisfactory to my promising and your Highnesse's expectation or to run the hazard of that thing with your Highnesse which is to every good and discreet man most precious For since it would be very heavie to me to incur with any other the brand of vanity or at least of rashnesse how much heavier would it be to
