Preposition if after any other English with it N. B. Gerunds govern the same Case with their Verbs 1. He that is quickly weary of attending to the Minister preaching or tired with kneeling while the Master prayeth is a lazy and wicked boy he loveth not the Worship of God but hath his mind busied about playing while he seemeth to serve God 2. Idle Boys endeavour to allure others from studying but the diligent hearken not to their temptations for no good is gotten by neglecting It is better to displease idle play-fellows than to please them but every place is full of wicked boys who corrupt others and exhort them to various Vices 3. Boys learn by teaching others who are more ignorant than themselves by repeating over those things which they have formerly learned they fasten them more stedfastly in their memories They have need of all opportunities to call over past instructions for they are forward to forget them tho they be Boys of good wits and competent memories 4. Boys many times learn wisdom from observing the punishment of others but some refuse to be taught diligence that way their own experience only reduceth them to obedience Boys imitate men some become wise at other mens charge others at their own Experience is the best Mistress in all things but in sufferings altogether unwelcom 5. But amongst Boys as well as amongst Men others are obstinate in offending neither the experience of others will move them nor their own they wilfully sail in those Seas where they before scarcely escaped destruction Reg. 3. Gerundia in dum pendent c. Rule 3. When the English of the Participle of the present Tense cometh after the English of any Preposition which governeth an Accusative Case or after any Adjective which will have an Accusative after it with ad In such case the English Participle must be rendred in Latin by the Gerund in dum with the proper Preposition set before it 1. At eating Boys ought to sit still not to talk At saying Lesson none ought to speak but he that is appointed by the Master whose leave is to be asked before the Scholars betake themselves to pray 2. The Boy that is chastised because of truanting hath no cause to accuse the Master of severity he ought to blame himself and to resolve God helping that he will shake off idleness for the future Note 1. The English word must which may be rendred by oportet and another Verb of the Imperative Mood is also to be made into Latin by quite omitting any particular Latin for must and only turning the Verb following must into the Gerund in dum without a Preposition and setting the Verb est impersonally after the Gerund and then the Noun foregoing which seems to be the Nominative Case must be the Dative 1. They must strive with their utmost might that desire to become learned and to conquer the difficulties which they will meet all things that are excellent are difficult to be attained 2. The Soldier must fight valiantly that beareth a mind enflamed with a desire to conquer the enemy his Arm must procure him the Honour which his Heart wisheth for But sometimes secret stratagems and subtil policy defeat the most valiant Warriers Deceit sheddeth less blood and hath sometimes more success Exc. If must stand before a Verb irregular or a Verb passive which have no Gerunds oportet with the Infinitive Mood after it must be used and the word that seemeth to be the Nominative Case must be the Accusative 1. Children must be obedient to their Parents Children that grieve their Parents purchase to themselves a Curse they provoke God to deny to them that length of life which he hath promised to the dutiful or if he suffer Rebels to live he giveth them Children that shall revenge their Parents disobedience 2. Zeal is a fire whose flame proceedeth from the fire of Love but it must be confined within the bounds of truth Nothing is more dangerous than blind and false Zeal 3. In loving God we must not neglect our Neighbour the observation of the second Table of the Decalogue must be joyned with our care to keep the first He keepeth no Commandment truly that wilfully neglecteth one Reg. 4. Vertuntur Gerundii voces c. 2. Sometimes the English Participle which should be rendred by the Gerund according to the former Rules is otherwise Latined by turning the word that should be the Gerund into a Gerundive Adjective in dus and then that Adjective must agree with the Substantive next following which may be practised in this following Example viz. A desire to excel all others in Virtue and in good letters is a commendable ambition and a delight in obtaining praise is worthy of encouragement because it is a sign of an excellent mind but he is a wicked boy that applieth his thoughts only to out-going the worst in villany Such a contention is Diabolical Rule 4. The English Participle in ing must sometimes be Latined neither by the Participle nor Gerund but by a Noun Substantive which is when it hath a an or the before it and of after it or when it immediately follows an Adjective agreeing with it 1. The taking away Worldly Riches sometimes tendeth to the increasing of Spiritual Substance the impoverishing of the Body is the enriching of the Soul How imprudent are they that immoderately bewail losses No loss is really great except the loss of life-eternal 2. Frequent thinkings of those things that concern the Soul are necessary for the most tender years None can begin to serve God too soon none soon enough he that spendeth most time in the serving God shall have the greatest reward But Youth is not only full of Vanity but thinketh it may indulge Sin and Folly without blame as if there were some years of our life which we may devote to the Devil But what if our lives be taken from us before the expiring of those licentious years what an Eternity must we expect Shall those live with God who died before they began to live to him Rule 5. The English Participle in ing coming after a Verb of motion and having a before it is rendred by the first Supine like as the Infinitive Mood The man that goes a hunting hawking or visiting his Friends when necessary business requires his care and time prefers his Diversion before his Profit the Society of his Friends before the necessary Advantage of Himself and his Family Nor will any covet his Friendship that is not a Friend to himself 2. The Boy that goes with his School-fellows a playing when he ought to be diligent at the Task which the Master hath appointed him prefers Play before his Master's Love and his own Profit and when he is weary of Playing he will return to his Book but shall want time to prepare his appointed Exercises Rule 6. The Participle in ing after a Noun Substantive or Adjective that requires a Genitive Case must be made by the
of God's Servants and God requireth of them that this thing be resolved-on among them to wit to love him more vehemently even when he depriveth them of worldly good-things Reg. 5. Coepit incipit desinit debet c. 5. The English of any of these Verbs viz. Coepio incipio desino debeo soleo and possum which are indeed Personals in their own nature when the English of any of them cometh before the Infinitive Mood of an Impersonal the word that seemeth to be the Nominative case to the Verb personal must be such case as the Infinitive Impersonal requires after it 1. Some begin to repent of their talkativeness when they have betrayed and destroyed their Friend by their lawless tongues We must not betray the faults of our Enemies especially we must not say of our Friends all that we know a wise man speaketh evil of none but some men speak evil of all Detraction is a weed that poysoneth the reputation of many which groweth only in base minds 1. Diligent Boys use to be ashamed to give place to their equals in Learning they are resolved that none shall excel them they give the Master great hope shame worketh great things it sometimes persuadeth those that promises and threatnings could not move The Construction of Adverbs Reg. 1. EN ecce demonstrandi c. En and ecce are to be used for see behold lo and not vide cerne c. When one calls upon another to observe or take notice of and if a noun Substantive come next any of them that Noun must be put in the Nominative Case Except the word be spoken in contempt or blame and then they will have an Accusative 1. Behold the love of God toward sinners he forgiveth men their greatest and most vile offences he receiveth those into his favour whom he hath cause to hate because of their wickedness repenting sinners are welcome to the arms of his mercy but behold the adamantine hardness of mens hearts who refuse to return to him and to accept his mercy they prefer the pleasures of sin before eternal joy they lose their souls to win a guilded nothing 2. Lo the folly of Children who love play rather than learning that think him the best Master that giveth them oftnest leave to play but those Masters are to be blamed that please their Scholars to their hurt Reg. 2. Quaedam Adverbia loci c. 2. Adverbs of quantity time and place and instar require the Noun following them to be of the Genitive Case 1. The Nations of the World have come to-that-pass of wickedness that the Earth is like to Hell and many men have degenerated into Devils Wickedness and Idolatry overspread the greatest part of the World there is profession enough but little true Religion true Christians are hated some that call themselves the Servants of God and are accounted Saints bear hearts full of all hatred envy and malice against others Pious frauds ignorance licentiousness contentions divide almost the whole World amongst them 2. How much is the veneration of Learning diminished among men Heretofore learned men were valued at a great rate they were thought worthy of honour but now men are fond of ignorance they soon think that they have gotten learning enough some are so sordidly ignorant that they desire the utter extirpation of Learning out of the World they pretend the banishment of Learning would promote the true Religion but they are mistaken learned men are the best and strongest Pillars of the Church and State Tempori luci vesperi are used as Adverbs though Dative Cases of Nouns Rule 3. Adverbs which are derived of Adjectives govern the same after them with the Adjective that they come of He that cannot conceal his Friends secrets from those that ask him but discloseth whatsoever is committed to his trust acteth not only unpleasantly to his Friend but hurtfully to himself for he that behaves himself most warily of all men and liveth more watchfully than other men yet he may happen to do something which being known he may be deprived of his good name and he that is void of Knavery sometimes hath need of Art in managing his Affairs which if it be revealed he obtaineth not his end he is defeated of his purpose Therefore punish not his Crimes nor his innocent Designs that trusteth thee relying upon thine honesty If thou betray thy Friend thou shalt change his love into hatred his esteem of thee into contempt Every one is so much wiser by how much he is more silent Reg. 4. Adverbia Diversitatis aliter secus c. Rule 4. Aliter secus ante post Adverbs require an Ablative Case after them of the Noun betokening Quantity 1. Men and Boys think liberty to sin sweet but all will find far otherwise Sinners enjoy deceitful pleasure a little-while but that pleasure cheateth them of eternal Paradise a-little-while-after they must pass to eternal sorrow They are fools that sell heaven at so low a price He is happier whose condition is imbittered with many outward miseries all his life and obtaineth Heavenly Glory than the greatest Prince that after his Pomp lives with cursed Spirits for ever 2. He is a Liar that denieth the same thing this hour which he most strongly affirmed a little before no credit is to be given to his words 3. The anger of a fool is not to be feared he threatneth men with dreadful things but he hath not cunning enough to act revenge he behaveth himself far otherwise than he speaketh A politick Foe is indeed formidable Reg. 5. Cedo flagitantis c. Rule 5. For let me see give me fetch me and such like Expressions it is more elegant to make cedò the Adverb with an Accusative after it than to render them by the proper Verb. Let me see that Book reach me also thy pen I will write these instructions which I have given thee otherwise thou wilt forget them Thou seldom remembrest good admonitions 6. These Adverbs require the Verb coming next them to be put in the Subjunctive and no other Mood viz. Quoad until Ceu as Acsi even as Quasi as tho Tanquam as Dum until 1. They that when they are diseased in body neglect sending for the Physician till the Distemper hath gotten greater strength than which Nature can resist despise their own health as tho' life were worth nothing To cure them will be difficult 2. Children neglected until Vice have taken deep root in them are hardly reformed it is more easie to bend an Osier or a Twig than to twist an Oak Vice nourished many years becomes a Possessor atlast and is loth to leave its accustomed dwelling Parents are to be blamed that neglect their duty in the beginning as-if they desired their Childrens future debauchery Rule 7. These Adverbs if a Nominative Case and Verb come next them require it to be put in the Indicative and no other Mood Donec so-long-as Ut after-that Dum whilst or as-long-as 1.
must be put in the Genitive Case A comely Coat reacheth from the middle of the Legs up to the Shoulders For the various signification of Prepositions Boys may consult for their Information the Westminster Introduction where their Cases are likewise largely discoursed Of Interjections HEU Rule 1. an Interjection of exclaiming may have after it either a Nominative or an Accusative Case ah and proh rather an Accusative 1. Oh! the wickedness of these men that thirst after the Blood of their Neighbours men of such barbarous Cruelty ought to be thrust out into the Fields among the Beasts whom they are like except that they exceed them in bloodiness Ah! the horrid murthers that some have committed 2. There is not one Atheist in Hell those that in this World laughed at all serious things when they come to Eternity cry out Alas my folly alas my ignorance and madness oh the dismal effects which unbelief produceth Heretofore I thought Hell was a Dream but now I find I my self only dreamed and now that I am awakened I begin to know and to exercise my Senses too late Rule 2. Hei and vae require a Dative Case after them Wo be to those that resist the Almighty God He is the surest Friend but the sharpest Enemy his love is sweet but his wrath is bitter his favour is Heaven but his frowns are Hell Wo wo to all that do not please him Those that mock at his threatnings shall tremble at the execution of them The end of the Sentences which are fitted as Examples to the Grammar-Rules Additional Notes 1. IN making Latin Boys are apt to be greatly puzled and at a loss to know when that is a Relative and ought to be rendred by qui and when it is a Conjunction to be Latined by quod or ut Let them therefore for their help in that difficulty observe these following Notes viz. 1. It is neither a Relative nor a Conjunction when it stands the first word after any Point or Stop greater than a Comma as after a Colon Semi-colon or Period but in such places it is to be rendred by the Pronoun demonstrative iste That is always a Relative when it may he turned into which which must be tried in reading over the English Sentence wherein it is and judging warily how the Sense would bear it If it cannot be altered salvo sensu it is a Conjunction 3. There is always between the Conjunction that and the Verb a Nominative Case to the Verb but between that the Relative and the Verb standeth no Nominative Case except the Relative be not the Nominative Case but that is usually the Nominative Case to the Verb it self 4. The Conjunction that commonly comes next after a Verb which signifies speaking knowing finding hearing or some such like English 5. It is neither a Conjunction nor a Relative when there followeth immediately after it a Substantive which must be put into some oblique Case to be governed of or to follow the Verb next foregoing that In such Case it must be rendred by the Pronoun Demonstrative iste e. g. 1. All men despise that man that boasteth of his own Exploits That man whose Acts Fame doth magnifie retaineth his Honour without diminishing even after his Death but whosoever praiseth himself bewrayeth Vanity All men will think that he attributeth too much to himself Deserve praise of others but still retain an humble mind 2. That man was of a base mind that having resolved to get himself a Name studied to execute some monstrous Villany for the sake of which men might talk of him he chose to be famous for impiety rather than that his Name should be buried in oblivion But the Emperour in whose Land the Wretch dwelt frustrated him of his purpose by forbidding his Name to be mentioned in the History tho' the Fact was chronicled 2. That a Relative is sometimes understood in the English and must be exprest in Latin by making qui for it And then is it understood when in a Sentence there wanteth either a Nominative case to the Verb or an Accusative Case to follow the Verb which cannot be supplied from any other word in the Sentence e. g. There is none except a fool will sell his Inheritance that his Father left him for nothing There is none except a very indigent man will sell his Inheritance at all An Estate which hath descended from Father to Son ought to be transmitted to Posterity There is nothing Prodigality loves so well as to spend lavishly the fruits of the Predecessors Industry there is nothing a wise man desireth more than that his Children enriched by him may bless him after his death God performeth the Promises he hath made to industrious men 3. It is a usual thing for Boys to err in rendring the English of the Present Tense Passive by making it by the Participle of the Preter Tense with Sum es est which must always be carefully avoided because that Participle with est maketh up all the Preter Tenses which must be confounded with the Present e. g. He is praised that is of humble behaviour towards all men courtesie hath a wonderful effect the proud man is abhorred the meek are honourable Obs In such cases as these or in any other of like nature where Boys are apt by reason of the English ambiguity to translate wrong it may not be altogether unprofitable for them to make the Expression in which the Ambiguity is both ways h. e. First right according to the Caution and afterwards as they would or are wont to make it but within a Parenthesis with non before it 4. Boys generally conclude that when they have may would might should the Verb must be of the Potential Mood according to the signs mentioned in their Accidence to which also ought is there added and can but not rightly But sometimes those are not meerly signs but must be made by a distinct Verb. And that is when the seeming sign betokens something of duty lawfulness or earnestness of desire When they have an Emphasis in them otherwise when they intimate nothing Emphatical they are only signs of particular Tenses of their Verbs e. g. 1. Boys may play when the Master hath given leave but without leave they may not lotter one hour Idle Boys would fain escape doing their duty they would rejoyce if they might play whole weeks 2. Children should willingly obey their Parents but for the most part they are Rebellious Obedience is a lovely Sacrifice in the sight of God whom all should Study to please 3. If Children should govern themselves to what misery would they bring themselves yet they are seldom content with the most favourable Government they have a desire either to change or to be quite left to their own will Their unripe Reason is like Phaeton ' 's pride who would govern a Chariot which was beyond his strength Let them use Patience he that cannot obey well will never command right 5.
of the Sentence from one Period to another leaving that Relative-Sentence or Parenthesis out then shalt thou clearly see the dependance of each word and shalt thereby avoid much of that difficulty And when thou hast read it so till thou understand it then proceed to Translation Obs 12. Though an artificial placing and ordering of words be not essential to the true translating of a Sentence yet it is Ornamental Take heed therefore that the words stand in some convenient and pleasant order Take notice therefore That 1. The Oblique Cases stand most handsomely in the beginning of a Sentence the Verb in the end and the Nominative Case betwixt both 2. The Substantive of the Genitive Case stands most elegantly before the Substantive that governs it 3. The Adjective is more neatly set before the Substantive than after it 4. Comparative and Superlative Adjectives or Adverbs stand most gracefully in the end of the Sentence 5. If you have a Substantive and Adjective of the Genitive Case the former Substantive governing may elegantly come between them as Caesare Clementia Majestatis 6. Between a Substantive and Adjective which are not of the Genitive Case another Substantive of the Genitive as Vera justitiae laus humillima subditorum obedientia 7. A Pronoun Primitive comes elegantly between a Pronoun Possessive and a Substantive that it agrees with as en offero meum tibi auxilium tuum mihi consilium expeto 8. The Vocative Case the Verbs inquit and ait must not be set First but Second or third in the Sentence 9. Longer Words conclude a Period most sweetly h. e. of three or four Syllables 10. Yet beware thou make not a Sentence ambiguous hard to be understood in over-striving to place words artificially for there is no elegancy in ambiguity 11. Many words that begin and end with Vowels sound unpleasantly they cause an Hiatus too much gaping Magna avi isti utilitas summo oro obveni auxilio 12. Two words meet not handsomely together whereof one ends with the same Consonant with which the other begins as Puer rudis literarum Ingens strepitus Dispose such words otherwise as strepitus ingens 13. Many words of the like sound in the ending meet not gratefully as Multarum magnarum miseriarum origo est ambitio Avoid such concurrence by parting those words or using other words in their stead Obs 13. In seeking Latin words in the Dictionary make use rather of the first or second that you find than of those that follow And refuse to make use of those which are very near the sound of the English as Natio for a Nation commendo to commend salvatio for salvation vexatio for vexation c. unless there be no other as tentatio for temptation Obs 14. Sometimes the same English word may have divers significations and that in the same discourse In order to the right rendring of such Sentences there is requisite a treasuring up such words as they occur in Authors or are taken notice of in correcting Exercises by the Master that the several Latin words which answer to the several significations may not be used promiscuously as to marry hath four significations Nuptum dare is to marry when it is spoken of a Father marrying his Daughter to any Person or giving in Marriage matrimonio jungere to marry spoken of the Priest marrying a Couple Uxorem ducere a man murrying a woman nubo to marry when it speaks of a woman being married to a man or marrying a man And many words there be of like diversity which must be carefully heeded Dat Pater aut Mater nuptum jungitque Sacerdos Uxorem duco nubit at illa mihi Obs 15. Sometimes an English Verb of the Third Person is rendred by a Latin of the Second which is when in an Interrogative Sentence the Nominative Case to the Verb is a man or one then make no Latin for man or one only put the Verb into the Second Person as Quid facias in hac re arctissima What should one do in such a perplexed business Quid dicis What can a man say How could one refrain Qui abstineres Having committed to memory these few Notes the following Englishes will not be difficult DIALOGUE I. The Master and the Scholar Mast Boy you have always been dear to me above the rest of your Schoolfellows Sch. I have greatest reason honoured Sir to believe that you love me The daily care that you take in teaching me not only those things that belong to Learning but also which conduce to Piety is a witness of your Love which I can no way recompence but by hearty thanks and willing obedience Mast Diligence in teaching is the best opportunity I have to evidence my love But the more I love thee the more it grieves me when I see thee more idle than other Boys whom I make not so much account of My love constrains me to be angry with thee when thou neither studiest to please me nor to profit thy self I find that Learning is not as pleasant to thee as it was formerly Sch. Sir I dare not deny that I am guilty but I earnestly entreat you that you would forgive me Mast Pardon hurts those Boys that are not of an ingenuous Spirit and that strive not to requite their Master's Clemency by better diligence It is as easy to spoil Boys by forgiving as by punishing Sch. Believe me Sir but once and if ever I offend hereafter spare me not Mast Thou hast often promised me amendment but thou seldom art as good as thy word Sch. I confess I have broken my promise but let your mercy pardon that fault too I am resolved Sir to forsake all mine idle Companions to leave off my evil Custom of playing to ply my Books and to become a new Boy as if I were not the same that I have been Mast You design to do these things while you are under fear of punishment but when you have forgotten the fear you will return to your former folly at the bidding of the first naughty Boy Sch. I will beg of God to give me power to perform what I promise for without him we can do nothing as I have heard from your mouth Mast I like that word Pray to God earnestly and he will answer thee I will pardon thee but thou must strive with all thy might as well as crave divine help Sch. I will Sir do both I will both pray and strive and I hope I shall not be unworthy of your Clemency you shall not repent of your pardoning me Mast I shall love thee most dearly my dearest Boy if thou consult thine own profit hereafter and study diligently And which is more desirable God shall bless thee he shall increase thine understanding and wisdom for he giveth wisdom as well as riches to the industrious DIALOGUE II.

Dearest Brother I Have now been three weeks in the Countrey and Divine Providence hath made my journey safe and prosperous I have fully accomplished the business which I had to do for you an account of which I know will be grateful to you I will therefore send you a Letter about that business the next week At present I only acquaint you in general That it is done and add thereto the great kindness that I received of my former Master when I went to see him at York if I had done nothing else but visited him I should have thought my journey had profited me enough The sight of him delighted me very much he is certainly a most excellent man I know none that may be compared with him he is a man of so great learning and godliness I do not love Comparisons but I never found any man that could Equalize himself to him One may compare him to Plato for his Temperance and Moderation You will perhaps ask what he gave me when I was at his House but I went not to receive any thing of him he gave me some good admonitions a gift which pleased me better than Gold or Silver and besides he return'd me a Book which I left there laft year He bad me at all times when I have need to ask Counsel of him I promised him I would obey his advice if I should not please him as far as I can I were mine own enemy and ungrateful to him having received so many kindnesses from him I will love him and honour him as long as I live Dearest Brother I could not but write these things to you but having used boldness enough already I will not try your Patience too much lest you should complain as you use to do of the tediousness of the Letters you receive from Your affectionate Brother B. J. EPISTLE IV. SIR YOur unwearied questionings after many refusals seem to intimate that you think me unconstant but I scorn such a mind That thing which you desire to know was committed to me as a secret by your Uncle if to reveal it would do you good yet after I had promised him secrecy your utmost diligence should never extort it from me but to disclose this would not help but hurt you Your advantage only was the Argument which persuaded your Uncle to command me secrecy He charged me to tell no body Should I now become a tatler he would never believe me more and would have just reason to be angry with me Leave urging me therefore and never write to me about it any more For know I am of a more generous spirit than to betray innocent secrets The more you attempt the more unmovable I shall be Our Master I remember used to threaten us with his severest anger if we searched into the secrets of others It is no less an honour to any one not to ask than to another to conceal I prefer that Friend that asketh little before him that would fain know every thing It would be a praise to you if you were content to be ignorant Be pleased therefore to vindicate your own honour and to satisfie me by your future silence for a thousand new persuasions shall never extort that which it will do you no good to know from Your Friend as far as I honourably may E.

write down in a Book which I read over once a week that I may not commit the same Error twice When our Master is correcting our Exercises I always attend most diligently I fix mine Eyes upon him and my mind upon his words If any other Boy have a better Phrase or manner of expressing than I I certainly take care to remember it If the Exercises of any other Form be corrected when my Task is done I attain to that which seemeth not to belong to me I think it concerns me to listen to every thing that I may get good by Having furnished my self by these Methods and prepared my understanding I set about my Exercise which I always read over before I begin to translate it as our Master hath most wisely commanded I never write down any word or Phrase before a certain knowledge or accurate enquiry whether it be fit to my purpose If I at all doubt I never rest till I be certain If I cannot find out what I seek I ask the next day I scorn not to learn of the meanest Boy much less do I neglect to ask our Master if no body else know I never slightly pass over any difficulty the more pains I take at one time the less labour shall I need the next Exercise I always appoint my self a certain measure of time for my Exercise a moment of which I never bestow upon any other business I never cease till I have done I interrupt not my self nor suffer the dearest Friend to interrupt me my supper and my sleep always give place to business Most Boys are easily diverted which utterly hindereth accuracy I read over each Latin Sentence by it self after I have made it twice or thrice and at last the whole Exercise again and again deliberately to observe any Errors which I have committed which I correct my self before the Master overlook it And lastly I never am hasty but allow time enough to each Word and Sentence Many Boys bring always bad Exercises for want of patient consideration I have now answered thy Question and told thee the chief things which I observe L. I heartily thank thee I will imitate thee for the future DIALOGUE X. Thomas and John THom I was told that your Brother had displeased his Master and therefore was not only chidden but beaten John That Boy is worthy of a whipping that told you for though I have no desire to accuse any one for a fault before my Master yet it is not fit that Punishments that any one suffers in the School should be published openly Thom. You are to be commended who are careful to observe the Laws of the School but do not ask me the Boys Name that told me this thing for indeed he was afraid lest any of his School-fellows should hear of it But I also understand that you excel many other Boys in writing which I am glad to hear John I must not tarry now for I am to buy some Books that I have need of Farewell DIALOGUE XI Thomas and Richard IF I am not deceived I saw your Brother weeping when I called you Rich. Both my Brother and Sister wept and they had cause to weep for my Father was angry with them Tho. What fault had they committed I know that they are of a good disposition and therefore surely they would endeavour to please your Father and therefore it is not good to enquire into other mens business yet tell me their fault if you please Rich. My Father was about to take a Journey to receive some Money which a Countrey-man my Father's Tenant owed him but he wanted a Saddle and therefore sent my Brother and Sister to buy him a Saddle They went but tarried so long that at last he would not go This was the cause of my Father's anger for they tarried talking with our Neighbours Daughter whose company they loved Tho. They did ill DIALOGUE XII Henry and Robert Hen. HOW can you expect God's Blessing who do not study to please your Father Rob. You always take liberty to accuse me for my Faults I have had Chiding enough at home to day I did not expect to be chidden abroad also Hen. Dost not thou fear the punishment that God the just Judge whose Eyes behold all mens actions hath threatned against such Children as do not obey their Parents I wonder that you are not ashamed of your wickedness by which you break the Laws both of God and Nature and believe me if you do not amend your manners you will repent of your folly when it is too late what if your Parents whom you are so disobedient to should cast you off Remember my words which I speak not out of hatred to you for I pity you Reform your life and then both your Father and you will have opportunity to rejoyce DIALOGUE XIII Thomas and Francis THO. How do you my good Friend Francis Fran. I am heartily glad that you are in health My Brother Richard desired me to remember his love to you Tho. I thank both him and you Fran. How much did that Book cost you that you have in your left hand T. It is a Book than which I never saw any more handsomely bound and yet it cost me but a little for he that sold it me did not understand the Books worth Fran. Did a Bookseller sell it you Tho. No I bought it of one that found that and another Book in the Street Fran. I pity him that lost them it may be he hath sorrow enough it is probable that it was some careless boy whose Parents have been sufficiently angry with him yea it may be he hath been beaten soundly But thus we see it often that one's loss is another's gain but I must not tarry now lest I lose the opportunity to send this Letter Farewell DIALOGUE XIV Joseph and Philip. Jos I Have brought you the Book that I borrowed when you and I were at London together and I intend to buy me such a Book for it hath taught me much wisdom Doubtless its Author was a Man af great Piety as well as learning Some Books are scarce worthy of reading but others deserve to be read an hundred times How much did the Book cost you Phil. It cost me five shillings and I do not think it dear For it is a Book than which I never read any more learned and pious yea every leaf thereof is a honey-comb full of most sweet honey drawn from the best of flowers I bought it over against the Exchange at the Sign of the Black-a-moors Head of a Bookseller who never useth to deceive me Jo. It is the same Bookseller that I use to buy Books of he will not offer his Books at a greater price than others and for the most part his Books are most neatly bound Farewell DIALOGUE XV.
