A17026 The introduction to the true understanding of the whole arte of expedition in teaching to write Intermixed with rare discourses of other matters, to shew the possibilitie of skill in teaching, and probabilitie of successe in learning, to write in 6. hours. Which tending all to one end, doe serve for two uses. 1. If authors doe excell others in their owne artes, why may not this author excell others in his arte. 2. For removing a vulgare opinion against his native countrey of Scotland, he sheweth that it hath moe excellent prerogatives than any other Kingdome. Whereby it will rather follow, that a Scotishman is so much the more able to prosecute whatsoever hee undertaketh, and therefore so much the more to bee respected, by how so much he is more ingenuous than one of another nation. Browne, David, fl. 1622-1638. 1638 (1638) STC 3904; ESTC S117068 26,810 42

of Bathsheba the mother of King Salomon Dorcas and other both Noble and religious women is the laudable exercise also of all the honourable and grave wom●n throughout the most part of that kingdome as well Citie as Country and that to serve their owne families to give unto those that stand in ne●d and either to sell at home or send abroad in exchange for oth●r wares But they doe not esteem vertue to consist in citie industrie yea or scarcely any thing done with the needle worthy of the name of worke except onely the making of needfull and comely apparrell for howsoever it be thought by others elsewhere to bee vertuous yet by them it is either frivolous or ●idiculous or for the most part idle or vicious because it maintaineth both yea and the women there are so grave shamefast and modest yea and so farre from following new fashions either by changing with the winde commonly every weeke or with the Moone surely every moneth that they keepe the very sur-name they have of their father as well as their christen-name even from their birth to their death according to the custome observed for the most part in other nations Thus it is apparent by their practise that these being the three chiefe and most commendable points of civill vertue are therefore to bee embraced and all others that are either repugnant or not agreeable to any of these neither are subordinate to serve or maintaine all or any of them nor yet the actors or instruments thereof in any respect spiritually nor civilly can hardly come within the compasse of laudable vertue but rather are as they alwaies have beene procuring causes to draw downe Gods inevitable judgements upon Kingdomes Nations Countries and Cities All vertuous Citizens that doe live in a lawfull calling whither they procure much or little by their honest industrie are hereby commended in that they are under these three sorts comprehended and in a most spec●all manner those that are most eminent by their commendable workes as well for the common wealth as their owne particular or private respects such as either Master Sutton or Master Middleton at London or Master Heriot at Edenburgh And againe as it is said of a strong man that he can live any where according to that Proverbe Omne solum forti patria so it may be justly said of Scottish men that they can live in any part of the world whither it be inhabited or not for as they are both most curious and desirous to travell in all nations for attaining of languages manners and for supplying of whatsoever defects in their breeding at home that they may be complete men as the land of their nativity is a complete land so they are most welcome of any people I thinke in the world wheresoever they travel or resort for not only the nobler or more gentle sort are meete for any rare enterprise of great worth But likewise the inferiours are bred either to some Art or profession at home before they come forth or to put their hand to any kinde of ordinary worke to comport with whatsoever kinde of entertainement or lodging yea and to beare with the dispositions of any kinde of people according to reason and discretion whereas those that come short either in all those or most of them and yet will travell would doe better to stay at home and either keepe the Tongs at the fire side or looke to the Geese about the dores By consideration of which premisses before and after specified it may be easily observed that a plantation of Scottish men in any fertile kingdome doth farre excell so many in number as doe come from any other kingdome unto that soyle as we may easily perceive what great policy labour and industrie they of the Scottish nation have made in the north yea or worst parts of the kingdome of Ireland both above the natives others of the Southern best and most choisest places of the whole land if withall wee will carefully account or duely respect the great difference or inequality of the places And by consequence hereof it may be observed at least supposed that if a number were indifferently chosen in Scotland brought forth thence and placed in any kingdome more fertile then it and as many country men of that kingdome sent thither in their places surely it might be well expected that the one would make such a vertuous and honest shift to labour the ground and live without any supply at all but Gods alsufficient providence whereas it might be suspected that the other would starve and die if they were not both better and more speedily supplied then all the industrie they could use whereby to live And to come to an easier and nearer tryall we both see here and it is knowne every where when any generous or laborious Scottish man is equally matched to worke toyle eate drinke sleepe travell yea or fight with any such as himselfe by appearance of any oth●rland it is ten to one if he hold not out and prevaile when the other shall die or give over which as it is a speciall cause that Scottish men are generally and universally as well accepted and priviledged as almost the natives of any nation or at least farre better then so many such others of whatsoever other nation so also in that they are so well beloved every where is a speciall encouragement for them to travell as some of them alwaies doe since wheresoever they so journe they are for the most part as duely respected yea and upon as reasonable termes as they are in farre distant parts from their habitati●n friends and acquaintance in their owne land The ancient Roman priviledge though it went for current in the behalfe of all Romans throughout all nations could never in the best time thereof match this peculiar passage and generall acceptation of Scottish men for belike the Romans did rather claime it as a kinde of homage or obedience due unto them as being either citizens of Rome or subjects to the Emperour their head who had almost subdued all nations then as a thing any wise belonging to them through their own desert or good behaviour for we see that what priviledge libertie or toleration soever is taken by compulsion is not comparable to that which commeth freely by deserved love or is given by tender affection I will choose two instances which are most pregnant to our intended purpose in stead of many others of other kindes which might also be alledged were it not for prolixitie which will both give farther light to this point and shew that none hath any just cause to demand if there bee any learned men or yet faire writers in Scotland 1 The first is whosoever shall examine the practise of learned Scottish men at home and compare the same with such others abroad in any forraine nation or yet th●ir practise abroad wheresoever they so journe and doe teach either old or young and compare the
things which none either before or after them have done which is correspondent to what was spoken last but because I affect brevity howsoever I be driven against my inclination and disposition to the other extremitie even as well to be on my guard for all opposers and to give every one his due as to satisfie all learners and to give each one his part I will make choise therefore to speake of those things which have beene in these dayes because they are most in remembrance or best knowne to many yet living most pregnant to our present purpose most forcible to prove the possibility of what is intended and both most probable and credible to all of this age since they have all come to passe therein Many godly wise learned and valiant men both English and Scottish hath Britaine brought forth even in the same age wherein we live who have excelled many that have beene before them in many ages whose names were tedious to expresse and their workes a thousand fold more tedious to declare in any competent measure but both their matchlesse fame in those things wherein they surmatched others and their magnificke workes beare witnesse of their persons who now rest from their labours I would gladly begin here at the highest degree and expresse both some particular matter and cause of true and well deserved praise due unto that state but especially to a happy and late Possessor thereof were it not that I am commanded by modesty to cease therefore onely thus much If there were any universall Chronicles royall the most renowned memory of King James for his matchlesse wisedome and learning might not onely be recorded in great Capitall and text lines with letters both of pure gold and perfect silver but likewise set with rich Diamonds and Pearle and flourished in most curious manner with all colours of inke before all Kings since the dayes of good King Iosias but such a one as I neither being able in any measure to expresse nor yet any booke of this kinde worthy to comprehend what commendation hee as Gods instrument in using of his gifts deserved I think it most expedient to desist and goe to others of inferiour degree Yet onely these few I will name with their rare and commendable acts so briefly as the sufficiencie of the matter and equitie of the cause doe require and as there may be any impression left to the Reader or Hearer hereof whereby if they please to enquire further of those things which were done by these worthy Instruments whom it pleased God to raise up for his owne glory and the good of his Church Onely these five I will name the first is Master William Perkins because hee was one of the first in this age that tooke extraordinary paines in writing many excellent and learned Bookes both for the benefit and ease of all that either wrote or taught since or yet learned for their owne us● And to the intent hee might so much the better performe what he had resolved in this matter hee did moderate both his dyet and sleepe according to the shortnesse of his time and necessitie of his calling for he not onely almost every day of his pilgrimage in this life after he was any wise enlightned and enabled was marvellous diligent and temperate but likewise in the night time he had a device tyed about his necke which after hee had slept foure houres time gave him a checke by meanes whereof hee wakened that after he had stroken fire he might either reade write pray or meditate two or three houres many times before any of the house whithersoever hee sojourned went to their businesses The second is Master Henry Ainsworth who both wrote very much and learnedly and lived very modestly yea and had no more for a long time but eight pence a weeke The third is Master George Buchanan who had the honour to be Tutor to our late Soveraigne Lord King Iames of famous memory although many in divers nations both before him and in his dayes have tryed to translate the Psalmes of David in latine verse yet never any of their translations were thought comparable to Buchanans Psalmes And by reason thereof and of some other rare workes and that hee was so happy an instrument of the breeding of such a worthy Monarch whom all the world admired for his wisedome and learning his fame is very great among all the godly learned in Europe and so much the greater both because he was a great traveller and that his bookes are dispersed in all nations The fourth is Master Iames Creighton who being a Baron in Scotland choosed rather to travell in forraigne nations and follow his learning then to stay at home and enjoy his Patrimony Concerning whom though I bee somewhat large I hope it shall not seeme tedious howsoever many have taken great paines both to attaine learning and to invent the art of memory to be a helpe therunto yet this yong Noble man was matchlesse in both and that not onely in his youth-hood at home but likewise in all his travels abroad yea scarcely doth any history make mention of any the like before him and besides which is no lesse worthy consideration it is reported by men of great worth and credit who are yet alive and knew his education that he was never taught at least after the ordinary manner in studying by booke onely he sometimes heard what was taught to others and seldome either read or studied bu● rather besides the appointed times of recreation he had liberty procured of those who hearing of his fame came both farre and neare to visit and try whether or not such things were according to the report when in the meane time all the rest of his condisciples were kept in at their studies and that both when he was at Schooles and Vniversities After he had thus past his course and came to be made Master of Arts as they are called there scarcely any could be found to dispute against his Theses in publike Least they should incurre any disgrace before such a learned auditory and that from such a young S●holler for his fame being so spread throughout all the land there was a greater assembly of the learned in the Vniversitie of S. Andrewes at that time then was either many y●ers before or y●t since in the time of any laureation Having past his degree● and ent●ing in his travels and upon the manifold experiences which he had of his owne ability at home whither soever he came and heard of any publike declamation or disputation there or any where he alwaies addvessed himselfe thither against the time appointed if either distance of place or other urgent occasions did not hinder him And amongst many other places wherein he purchast great commendation he being once at Constantinople as some doe thinke and others doe alledge it was at Padua but wheresoever it was the action is most certaine because it was his ordinatie practise any where
kinde is more worthy I say of commendation in that respect at least then any who have yet succeeded him for they have had all his endeavours to be a light under God to them but he had none of theirs to helpe him And therefore as his name was Na-peir both after the Scottish pronuntiation and estimation so it may be justly called No-peere according to the English It is the fame which hee hath left that maketh his name to be great for he is yet called there as I thinke he may be to the worlds end either here or any where Matchlesse MERCHISTON Mathematitian If all the names should bee inserted here of all the famous and valiant men such as King Robert Bruce and Sir William Wallace with all their matchlesse acts and all the remarkable deeds of others in other ages who have beene greatly renowned in that most renowned kingdome of Scotland which I have the honour to call the land of my nativitie and not those few examples in this age as well of that as of this worthy kingdome wherein now I live chosen for all to shew that any man is so much the better yea and the more to be hoped and expected of what hee can doe in that he hath beene borne or bred there but far more both doubtlesse it might fill as great a volume as the Romane History And if it be thus unto such there it will follow also in time to be so unto the like here and that because they are both of Britaine and so both not onely of one continent and of one name but likewise are now both under one head and of one Religion yea and hath both one kinde of languag● and one forme of writing and that which crowneth all they do all strive to love one another as they doe themselves THVS leaving the commendation of some particular persons who have excelled all others in the things whereof they were excellent I will speake somewhat of the honour of that renowned kingdome which chiefly consists in the prerogatives or priviledges thereof with thy leave and patience diligent Reader without derogation to any other kingdome which hath either greater honour or prerogatives or better priviledges of other kindes or yet is of greater worth of it selfe after I have shewed some differences betweene that nation people and commodities thereof and others who challenge a higher place under the pretence of some greater respects all which although I doe I hope no judicious man will finde that I digresse any wise from the point who will but consider with me that whatsoever things are in the way of any thing have alwaies some relation to the end thereof because they leade thereunto and that some impe●●ments also must be removed out of the way hereof which doe greatly hinder the passage to the end that the worke may the more easily proceed For since the probability of the possibility of this taske is my part at this time I must first use such lawfull ordinarie meanes as I know will make way unto the performance thereof and then those which will fully accomplish the thing expected And if it be needfull that the end wherefore we ayme at any thing be wished and laboured for by all those who desire that thing then doubtlesse to shew both the possibility of attaining and probability or certainty of attaining thereof must also be needfull and that not for the undertaker alone but for all who would partake of the benefit as well as he and especially those who are either doubtfull or mistrustfull and therefore slacke in using of the meanes that they also being in some measure satisfied as well as others may with the more courage intend begin proceed and prosecute as well as others But although the nature of many things both spoken and to be spoken here doth not agree strictly to writing it selfe yet if they be well considered largely they doe serve greatly both to shew the possibility of so speedy teaching to write and to make way to the probabilitie thereof by shewing that there be some men of one kingdome that be farre more generous and compleately both bred qualified or gifted yea and can take greater paines to put all to a good use then all those of another kingdome who are most pregnant in any facultie of this kinde To the intent it may appeare that from those excellent prerogatives which may justly be attributed to the whole kingdome in generall whereof I am to speake and especially to the head thereof as the fountaine there may be some issue of excellencie derived to every particular member of the same above those who cannot claime unto the like as both divine and other histories doe specifie what great priviledge it was to be a Romane And likewise it is needfull that those prerogatives and priviledg●● be here expressed for another speciall respect yet tending to make way to the same end and purpose even for preventing or removing a prejudicate opinion which some of the vulgar sort have against the famous kingdome of Scotland and that without any ground or reason insomuch as though one like Salomon should come forth thereof to this place yet they were wont more often then now thus to demand Can any good thing come out of Scotland doth it afford this or that doe such and such things grow there doe any such learned men or faire writers live there as there be here and many the like idle questions which be rather moved for derision then any wise to require resolution 1 But all such kinde of persons were fully answered and confuted both in those and in all other such things for not onely it pleased God that one like Salomon came out thereof indeed removed all such questions as the bright sunne doth expell the misty clouds and did put to silence all such persons at least their impud●ncie and frequ●ncie in those things and that both by shewing them the contrary of what they pret●nded or would have had and making such a combination betweene them and those of whom they spake that the like was never formerly in Britaine so that many of both nations who were diversly affected before have respected others as their owne most affectioned and deare brethren both at home and abroad afterwards and for the most part ever since But another also hath come forth thereof God blesse him like Josias who can both represse all such frivolous questions and redresse all those who will offer to propound them any more 2 Abundance and varietie of all commodities doe both come out of Scotland daily hither by sea and land and goe every where abroad as have alwaies in all ages which doe manifest the plentifull increase thereof If some parts of that land may be called barren it is but in respect of other parts even as the most fruitfull kingdome cannot be all alike fruitfull for there was a hill country in the land of Canaan it selfe for bestiall as well as valley
or daleground for corn● yea and doubtlesse there be some speciall parts also of it as good as the best parts of other kingdomes the value of the commodities which those parts doe afford being accounted according to the valuation of the places where they come to be in greatest request like as other kingdomes doe with the commodities which they yeeld 3. The worthy people of that ancient kingdome doe live with such plenty of all sorts of things at home amongst themselves as they need not yeeld nor give place to any people or nation for any thing more then they need to doe unto them and therefore although mutuall traffique or exchange of commodities be no disparagement I hope but rather a great credit as well as an advancement to any people of whatsoever kingdome yet they could as well at least subsist without the same if there were cause as I hope there shall never be yea and live both as contentedly and modestly with their owne as any people in the world If at any time especially in the yeeres of famine when it pleaseth God most justly to afflict them as he doth their neighbour countries either then or at other times they be forced to buy such things as they need from other nations as Gods people of old did of Egypt they pay them as well for what they receive as other nations doe when they buy such things as they need of them upon the like occasions either of necessitie or extremitie And if none be able to prove any thing to the contrary of those things then why doe not all acknowledge them to be true Whereby in the meane time as it hath beene alwaies it is most evident although there were no more to be said that that kingdome is a most compleate kingdome and both as plentifull and able to serve the owne turne as any other kingdome is to serve it selfe And therefore no question ought to be made by any whosoever neither of the plentie nor abilitie thereof more then of any other kingdome neither in sport to maintaine table discourse nor yet in earnest purpose for curiositie at other times or occasions Those who doe enjoy a better land are bound to be so much the more thankfull to him who is the true owner of the whole earth and all that therein is to dispose unto what people soever he will which dutie if they doe not carefully discharge they will be so much the more inexcusable in the day of retribution when they are called to account for violent possession thereof and wee are taught taught both by his word and daily experience as w●ll as by histories how often the Monarchies and Kingdomes of the world are translated from one people unto another and all through ingratitude and impenitencie And whereas it may be thought that some other kingdomes being more fruitfull are therefore more able to supply the necessities of that kingdome then it is to helpe them yet if the varietie extent and worth of all things which it sendeth yeerely to other kingdomes above what any king some sendeth it be well weighed esteemed and considered none of them can surmatch it yea scarcely compare with it in any degree howsoever many doe surpasse the greater part of it But how this defect thereof in respect of other kingdomes and yet the compleatnesse or equalitie of it with the best of them can agree in the generall since onely but some parts thereof can match the best parts of them and yet neverthelesse hath as great plenty in the generall both to serve it selfe within and to furnish others without as any of them those two effects doe proceed of these two causes or suppliments two manner of waies the one principall and the other secondarie 1 The first or principall doth proceed of the blessing of God which in the midst of outward povertie maketh riches to increase as the land of Canaan though of it selfe farre inferiour to other lands both in quantitie and fertility yet so long as his people had their residence there it did flow with milke and h●ney and sustained at one time eighteene hundred thousand fighting men both besides the tribe of Levi and what it spared also to send abroad to other nations yea and all the mightie Kings and Iudges thereof in more sumptuous manner many times then any Monarches ever were before or after them 2 The second of the vertuous industrie of the people of that kingdome which may bee well compared with the industrie of the most excellent people of whatsoever kingdome although they have both greater matter whereof and a better subject whereon to worke The first world had almost all things without labour which fertile kingdomes doe yet imitate that they may have the more time to vice as they had but the commendable people of the famous kingdome of Scotland doe surpasse all fertile kingdomes in labour and industrie both early and late yea and sweating of all the body as well as the forehead according to the ordinance of God pronounced upon the disobedience of our first Parents In citie labour or artificer worke yea or cosening by trade they delight not to be so expert as some people of other kingdomes are neither to maintaine unnecessarie trades or such as any wise tend or be more inclinable to vice then vertue nor to sell slight or counterfeit wares under colour of good and upright nor yet are they any wise so bold either to praise their owne wares at home nor abroad nor to invite farre lesse take hold of customers as they passe the streets upon other businesses to come in and buy their wares but as for the most part they are every way both more conscionable and modest so many of them likewise have all needfull things both as curious and farre more substantious to sell unto such onely as doe offer to buy then any others elsewhere Their obedience to the true God and Christ whom hee hath sent and to their superiours with their commendable industrie and conscionable carriage yea and their discreet spending on food and apparrell according to their degree with other respects which may be gathered from other particulars following are the causes doubtlesse that it hath pleased God to keepe that worthy native people together as the true of spring of the first planters of that land though alwaies sending multitudes upon all occasions to helpe other nations even unto this day when almost all the world hath turned upside downe So the matchlesse industrie srugalitie care and labour of that most vertuous people is the secondarie cause of their equalitie of maintenance with the people of other kingdomes both to spend and send or the suppliment of any defect of fruitfulnesse in that kingdome Which consists rather in carefull diligent and timely manuring the ground both before and after the sowing of the seed attending their bestiall and in making all kinde of cloth as well linnen as woollen which according to the commen●able practise both
of inferiour qualitie although perchance discended of a worthy and ancient house nor yet any title conferred on them but onely the generall that they bee Scottish men are preferred both by getting place and preferment to many others of other nations who either have lands or other titles besides the denomination of their country yea and sometimes both which is a great cause encouragement for Scottish men to travell as they doe farre more then others But this one thing yet remaineth to be declared before we proceed to other matter it is needfull also for the better understanding and so in some measure making up a compleat sense both of what hath beene said and is to be spoken to the commendation of the kingdome of Scotland even to shew in what respects it can but compare with the kingdome of England let be with other kingdomes although these so joyne together as that they both make but one continent yea and doe almost lye under one climat and Horizon which one example shall suffice to shew how Scotland may compare with other kingdomes esteeming England in this comparative respect and many others of other nature to be as worthy a kingdome for the quantity as any in the world Therefore I will use my best endeavours to make a short d●scription of both these kingdomes that the chiefe cause may both be so much the better and easier perceived for apparently they will be rather found to appeare in the different use of them according to the severall dispositions opinions or practises of the inhabitants of either then in any correspondencie or equalitie betweene them other wise which comparison is very worthy observation especially by those who would either learn to be good husbands any where or yet would conferre or examine their owne private skill opinion or practise with the ancient publike and approved skill opinion and practise of those who have beene both better and longer exercised in all the severall sorts and degrees of good husbandry The kingdome of England is a most excellent pleasant and fruitfull land fairely planted rarely built and both well inriched and garnished with all sorts of commodities and objects of pleasure almost like unto France which is thought to be the garden of the world It pleaseth God that England yeeldeth abundance of increase in all things needfull for this mortall life but especially those things most intended or best liked by the inhabitants thereof which are indeed for the most part as civill modest and loving a people both among themselves and almost to all strangers at home abroad yea and as faithfull true and obedient subjects to our and their dread Soveraigne as either wee or any other his Majesties Subjects or yet the subjects of any other King ever were or can be to any King Monarch or Emperour in all the world This fertile kingdome of England bringeth forth as great plenty of all sorts of graine and of all kinde of fruits and hearbs with milke and honey and all variety and diversitie of other things both for profit and pleasure that mans heart can desire for the maintenance and refreshment of naturall life I thinke as any kingdome whatsoever of the bignesse thereof and so farre as it is sowne and laboured for the inhabitants of England almost ev●r since the dayes of Engist of whom both the land and they doe take the name have thought it farre more easie and no l●sse profitable to reserve many of the best and most fruitfull places of the land rather for the entertainment of all sorts of bestiall which they delight more and more yet to have multiplied than for the bearing or increasing of Wheate Barlie Pease or Beanes and therefore the common people belike having greater plenty of all kinde of fleshes than of all sorts of bread doe choose or take occasion to attribute the generall name meate to flesh rather than to bread or any other kinde of victuals whether they doe it because they have it most or love it best or both is somewhat questionable but notwithstanding all their industry and plenty one thing is without all question it remaineth as deare as other things which is somewhat mitigated both in their higher valuation of money and greater plenty thereof than Scotland hath at this time because the Court lyeth there I need not to be very prolixe in this description because I know wherein I am either briefe or deficient will be well supplied by the natives themselves upon all occasions who know their own land better than I or any other stranger but now wee are all one The kingdome of Scotland beause it doth consist as much in hils as valleyes and therefore neither altogether so fruitfull as England nor yet lyeth so hot towards the Sunne It is the most healthfull or well ayred land to live in of any whatsoever for it hath many high and great montains faire and open fields fresh and fierce running wate●s both cleare and wholesome with innumerable springs and brookes mingled throughout the whole land And that I may be the more brief in describing thereof if the native forme fertilitie of a whole Kingdome may bee understood by the like properties of a Province in another kingdome then the kingdome of Scotland is most like to the County of Kent of any part in England that in diverse respects for though they differ far in quantity yet not verie much in quality because they aggree in these three Some parts of the realme of Scotland doe yeeld great profite but litle pleasure safe only the pleasure which doth accompany profite and these be all the valleys or valey ground for the most part through the whole kingdome which in diverse respects is esteemed either to be better of it selfe or els far better laboured than any of whatsoever kingdome Other parts againe doe yeeld great pleasure but litle profite and these bee most of all the hills banks moores and marrishes for some of these be most convenient for haulking others for hunting because there be greatest store of wild fowle and venison in these places And some parts are mixed both with all the meanes and kinds of profite and objects of pleasure and these bee these which doe consist partly of hill and partly of dale ground and are situated betweene the sides of all the rivers springs brooks or armes of the seas and the tops of all the hills or banks next adj●cent or adjoying thereunto These vertuous inhabitants of that worthy nation doe sow and labour all the parts of the land that may be conveniently sowne and laboured and do yeeld sufficiency of increase and leave all other parts for grasse hay woods and parks so that by the bl●ssi●g of GOD upon their labours they have both plenty of bread and sufficiency of milk and honey when as people of other countries which are both hotter better yea and might be easier laboured for want of labouring have scarcitie This commeth to passe most
