must ordinarily vse equality amōg their children so neere as they may and not shew more affection to one then to another least thereby they prouoke thē to anger and desperation Of the duty of childr●●●●wards their parentes Chapt. 12. THe first duty of children towards their parents is they obey them in all things for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord. Also they must remember that the earthly father is the true representer of God the vniuersall father and therefore next after God to be had in reuerence The second duty of children towardes their parentes is that they endeuour by all means possible to asswage their parents anger Thirdly children must helpe their parents in their old age and supply their wantes with all necessary complements Of Brotherly loue Whether a man should preferre his friend before his brother Chap. 13. NOthing is more acceptable vnto the Lord thē that brethren should loue one another The which vndoubtedly by his soueraigne maiesty is ingrauen at our birth for we see the first occasion of this amity to be bred euen from our natiuity Therefore it is the duty of a brother not to bee angry or discouer the faults of his brother Further it is the part of a brother to loue his brother aboue all other for he may daily get many of this friendly mould and more if these faile but it is no more likely to get a new brother then to get an eye which is drawn out or an hand which is chopt off Hence springeth that question whether a mā should preferre his friend before his brother To this I aunswere negatiuely that he should not and especially for these two reasons First we are bound to follow nature if she leades vs not astray for who so euer followeth nature followeth God by whome she is directed therefore we are bound to loue our brethren aboue our friends seeing that by nature wee are chained with our brethren and whatsoeuer we bestow on them we bestow on our selues Whereunto soundeth that saying of the Poet Take heed that thou make not thy friend equall with thy brother Secondly the loue of brethren is better then the loue of friends for it includeth in it more then the other as for example when friends be at variaunce we see nothing left betwixt them but if brethren chaunce to disagree the knot notwithstanding of brotherhood in despight of them remaines stedfast moreouer a man being forsaken of all his parasitical friends is neuerthelesse of his brother as it were by a natural instinct receiued and comforted To bee briefe I exhort all brethren to assist one another with mutuall loue not to beleeue any whispering make-bates whose onely drift is to shift for themselues and to oppose not onely friend against friend but also for their owne priuate good to put brother against brother This exhortatiō of mine if brethren will embrace let them assure themselues that they shall enioy the felicity of the celestiall Paradise which is already prepared for them Of disobedient Sonnes Chap. 14. THe very Turkes thēselues according to the second commaūdement contained in their Alcoran do require such dutifull obedience of children towards their parents that they expresly forbid any vpon pain of death to gainsay them either in word or deed Besides it is an article of their beliefe that God will neuer forgiue them who are accursed of their parents Yea they assure thēselues that no sorrow nor penitent contrition of mind is euer able to wash or do away the foule burthen of the parents curse Likewise the Popish Canonists do condemne thē as infamous which rebell against their parents What then shal we do that are reformed Christians shall we suffer the sonne to abuse the father to commence suit against him approbriously to endamage him no. God forbid We wil rather lead him to the magistrate who shall impose on him what punishment soeuer the father demaundeth Wee will stone him to death for his vnnaturall disobedience But suppose hee were left vnpunished would he not thinke you be cut off as an vnprofitable member by the iust iudgement of God would not his daies be shortned Yea yea he shall not only die in this world but also his body in the world to come shall alway be tormēted in hot scalding lead and his soule for euer shall endure the horrible paines of hell We read in our English Chronicles that the sonne of Henry the secōd king of this land by the instigation of the French King tooke armes against his owne naturall father betwixt whom diuers mighty battels being fought the victory alwaies inclined to the father so that the disobedient rebellious sonne was enforced to desire peace which the father mercifully graunted and forgaue him his offence Howbeit notwithstanding God the auēger of such abominable factes punished him for his disobedience by causing him to die 6. yeeres before his father A meet punishment no doubt for him seeing that he could not tarie till after his fathers death Further we heare that there was of late daies a certain man that dwelt in a village neere to Cambray who in a great fury threw his owne mother out of his house three times in one day and the third time told her in anger that he had rather see his house on fire then that she should abide there one day longer But mark the end It fortuned that on the very same day according to his speech his house was strangely fired quite consumed to ashes An euident signe assuredly of Gods displeasure The exāples wherof I would to God might serue for a warning to all children if not to mollify yet at least to terrifie thē frō dealing crookedly peruersly with their parēts whom God himself cōmaūded to honor left here in this world as semblable images of himselfe The third Plant. Of the duty of masters toward their seruaunts Chap. 15. THe duty of Masters toward their seruaunts I comprise in sixe points First I counsell masters not to keepe any seruaunts in their houses that are giuen to swearing gaming whoring drinking or to any such notorious crimes Secondly I exhort masters to haue a speciall care that their seruaunts be catechized and taught in the word of GOD. Thirdly they must not make them labour on the Sabaoth day Fourthly they must see that their seruaunts lie not abroad in the nights Fiftly masters must grauely correct their seruants according to the quality of their faults least being let alone they waxe bold and so fall into worse courses Lastly masters must looke that their seruaunts receyue their wages or hires at due times Of the Sabaoth day Whether a master ought to set his seruaunts at worke on the Sabaoth day Chap. 16. THe Sabaoth both in the old new testament is sanctified and hallowed and in it magistrates townesmen and all men o● what quality soeuer they be must surceas● from working chiefly for foure

PRinces that in the frontiers of their enemies keepe fortes and garrisons doe choose wise and expert Captaines to ouersee them otherwise it were better to batter downe the Forts and to remoue the garrisons then it should come into the hands of the enemies So in like maner parents which tender the training vp of their childrē ought to choose out a good schoole-master that will not onely instruct them in learning but also informe them in the precepts of good maners Else they imitate horsecoursers whose onely delight is to pamper and fatne their horses and not to manage them as they should so that when such Iades come to trauell they praunse gallantly at the first but in the midst of their trauelling their grease melting away they founder and fall downe in the mire Euen so young men hauing gotten but a taste of learning become so headie with a fond fantasie of that little which they haue that they tire and lie downe in the midst of their bookish pride The consideration whereof hath prouoked mee principally to require in a schoole-master morall and politique Philosophie thereby to instruct his schollers in awe obedience and loue For would it not grieue the Prince to see his subiects rebellious the Father to finde his sonnes disobedient to his will Withall a schoolemaster must be endued with these nine qualities First hee must be well skilled in Grammar Rhetoricke and Poetrie Secondly hee ought to haue discretion to iudge of his scholers nature and disposition Thirdly courage to heartne and egge forward a toward youth Fourthly perseuerance not to giue ouer his schoole vpon enuie or grudge of some particular person Fiftly hee must haue affabilitie and courtesie least his schollers as apes taking example by his froward lookes become rough and disobedient Sixtly hee must vse mediocritie in correcting that is hee must correct them according to the qualitie of their faults and while hee is so occupied hee must not reuile or nickname them Seuenthly hee must bee endued with some maiestie of countenance and strength of bodie otherwise hee will bee contemned and made a iesting-stocke Eightly with continence to abstaine from lecherie and excesse in drinking apparrell and such like Ninthly a schoole-master must not impose more labours on his scholers then they can well sustaine least thereby hee cloying them with too much at once doe make them dull and so daunt them from their bookes For it is loue that maketh vs to take delight and to profite in our studies And this is the cause why plants moderately watered doe grow but being too much moystened they are choaked and drowned That schoole-masters should haue large stipendes Chap. 36. IN vaine doe I treate of necessarie schoole-masters vnlesse parents bee gratefull vnto them Stipends doe nourish Arts. Wherefore teachers are to bee stirred vp to benefite the Common-wealth through the augmēting of their allowances Constantine the Emperour enacted that schoole-masters should haue large salaries payed them whereby hee got him an immortall name It was also decreed by the councell of Laterane that prebends should be giuen to schoole-masters The like was done by the councell of Trident. It is great pitie that euery seuerall parish in this realme of England hath not a good schoole-master constituted in it for the training vp of youth and an indifferent liuing out of the same parish for his trauell For lacke whereof some carefull parents now-a-dayes are constrained to send their children a hundred miles off either to Eaten colledge Westminster Winchester or other like places where they pay much for their diet and tuition and peraduenture so much as being spared might encourage them to kee●● them the longer at the Vniuersitie But perhaps you will aske mee at what time I would haue schoolemasters receiue their exhibition To which I answere either the one halfe aforehand and the other halfe at the halfe yeeres end or else quarterly or rather The one halfe at the halfe yeeres end and the remnant at the tweluemonths end This is my foundation which being wel laid I doubt not but to see youths more ciuill better lettered Whether it bee better for parents to keepe their sonnes at home with a priuate schoole-master or to send them abroad to the publike schoole Chap. 37.
