stratagems Tacticks and warlike maxims they may as it were out of a long War come forth renowned and perfect Commanders in the service of their Country They would not then if they were trusted with fair and hopeful armies suffer them for want of just and wise discipline to shed away from about them like sick feathers though they be never so oft suppli'd they would not suffer their empty and unrecrutible Colonels of twenty men in a Company to quaff out or convey into secret hoards the wages of a delusive list and a miserable remnant yet in the mean while to be over-master'd with a score or two of drunkards the only souldery left about them or else to comply with all rapines and violences No certainly if they knew ought of that knowledge that belongs to good men or good Governours they would not suffer these things But to return to our own institute besides these constant exercises at home there is another opportunity of gaining experience to be won from pleasure it self abroad In those vernal seasons of the year when the air is calm and pleasant it were an injury and sullenness against nature not to go out and see her riches and partake in her rejoycing with Heaven and Earth I should not therefore be a perswader to them of studying much then after two or three year that they have well laid their grounds but to ride out in Companies with prudent and staid Guides to all the quarters of the Land learning and observing all places of strength all commodities of building and of soil for Towns and Tillage Harbours and Ports for Trade Sometimes taking Sea as far as to our Navy to learn there also what they can in the practical knowledge of sailing and of Sea-fight These ways would try all their peculiar gifts of Nature and if there were any secret excellence among them would fetch it out and give it fair opportunities to advance it self by which could not but mightily redound to the good of this Nation and bring into fashion again those old admired Vertues and Excellencies with far more advantage now in this purity of Christian knowledge Nor shall we then need the Monsieurs of Paris to take our hopefull Youth into their slight and prodigal custodies and send them over back again transform'd into Mimicks Apes and Kicshoes But if they desire to see other Countries at three or four and twenty years of age not to learn Principles but to enlarge Experience and make wise observation they will by that time be such as shall deserve the regard and honour of all men where they pass and the society and friendship of those in all places who are best and most eminent And perhaps then other Nations will be glad to visit us for their Breeding or else to imitate us in their own Country Now lastly for their Diet there cannot be much to say save only that it would be best in the same House for much time else would be lost abroad and many ill habits got and that it should be plain healthful and moderate I suppose is out of controversie Thus Mr. Hartlib you have a general view in writing as your desire was of that which at several times I had discourst with you concerning the best and Noblest way of Education not beginning as some have done from the Cradle which yet might be worth many considerations if brevity had not been my scope many other circumstances also I could have mention'd but this to such as have the worth in them to make trial for light and direction may be enough Only I believe that this is not a Bow for every man to shoot in that counts himself a Teacher but will require sinews almost equal to those which Homer gave Ulysses yet I am withall perswaded that it may prove much more easie in the assay then it now seems at distance and much more illustrious howbeit not more difficult then I imagine and that imagination presents me with nothing but very happy and very possible according to best wishes if God have so decreed and this age have spirit and capacity enough to apprehend THE END A Catalogue of some Books printed for and sold by Tho.
