THE ENGLISH SCHOOLE-MASTER Teaching all his Schollers of what age soever the most easie short and perfect order of distinct Reading and true Writing our English-tongue that hath euer yet beene knowne or Published by any And further also teacheth a direct Course how any vnskilfull person may easily both vnderstand any hard English words which they shall in the Scriptures Sermons or elsewhere heare or reade and also be made able to vse the same aptly themselues and generally whatsoeuer is necessarie to bee knowne for English speech so that hee which hath this Booke onely needeth to buy no other to make him fit from his Letters vnto the Grammar-Schoole for an Apprentise or any other his priuate vse so farre as concerneth English And therefore is made not onely for Children though the first Booke bee meere childish for them but also for all other especially that are ignorant in the Latine-tongue In the next Page the Schoole-Master hangeth forth his Table to the view of all beholders setting forth some of the chiefe commodities of his Profession Deuised for thy sake that wantest any part of this skill by Edward Coote Master of the Free-Schoole in Bury St. EDMOND Perused and approued by publike Authoritie and now the Eighteenth time imprinted with certaine Copies to Write by at the end of this Booke added LONDON Printed for the Company of Stationers 1630. ☜ The Schoole-master his Profession I Professe to teach thee that art vtterly ignorant to Reade perfectly to Write truely and with judgement to vnderstand the reason of our English-tongue with great expedition ease and pleasure I will teach thee that art vnperfect in eyther of them to perfect thy skill in few dayes with great ease I vndertake to teach all my Schollers that shall be trained vp for any Grammar Schoole that they shall neuer erre in writing the true Orthography of any word truely pronounced which what ease and benefit it will bring vnto Schoole-masters they best know and the same profit doe I offer to all other both Men and Women that now for want hereof are ashamed to write to their best friends for which I haue heard many Gentlemen offer much I assure all Schoole-masters of the English-tongue that they shall not onely teach their Schollers with great perfection but also they shall with more ease and profit and in shorter time teach a hundred Schollers sooner than before they could teach f●rtie I hope by this plaine and short kind of teaching to incourage mady to read that neuer otherwise would haue learned And so more knowledge will hee brought into this Land and moe Bookes bought than otherwise would haue beene I shall ease the poorer sort of much charge that they haue beene at in maintaining their child●en long at Schoole and in buying many Bookes Strangers that now blame our Tongue of difficulty and vncertainty shall by mee plainly see and vnderstand those things which they haue thought hard J doe teach thee the first part of Arithmeticke to know or write any number By the practice therunto adjoyned all learners shall so frame and tu●e their voyces as that they shall truely and naturally pronounce any kind of stile eyther in prose or verse By the same practice Children shall learne in a Catechisme the knowledge of the principles of true Religion with precepts of vertue and ciuill behauiour J haue made a part of a briefe Chronologie for practice of reading hard Words wherein also thou shalt bee much helped for the vnderstanding of the Bible and other Histories and a Grammer Scholler learne to know when his Authors both Greeke and Latine liued and when the principall Histories in them were done J haue set downe a Table contayning and teaching the true writing and vnderstanding of any hard English word borrowed from the Greeke Latine or French and how to know the one from the other with the interpretation thereof by a plaine English word whereby Children shall bee prepared for the vnderstanding of thousands of Latine words before they enter the Grammer Schoole which also will bring much delight and judgement to others Therefore if thou vnderstandest not any word in this Booke not before expounded seeke the Table Jf I may bee generally receiued J shall cause one vniforme manner of Teaching a thing which as it hath brought much profit vnto the Latine tongue so would it doe to all other Languages if the like were practised Finally J haue giuen thee such Examples for faire Writing whereby in euery Schoole all bad hands may be abandoned that of thou shouldest buy the like of any other which thou shalt seldome finde in England they alone will cost thee much more money than I aske thee for my whole Profession If thou desirest to bee further satisfied for the performance of these things reade the Preface where thou shalt also see the reason of some things in the first Booke which thou mightest otherwise dislike The Preface for directions to the Reader OTher men in their writings gentle Reader may justly vse such stile as may declare learning or eloquence sit for a Scholler but I am enforced of necessity to effect that plaine rudenesse which may ●it the capacitie of those persons with whom I haue to deale The learneder sort are able to vnderstand my purpose and to teach this Treatise without further direction I am now therefore to direct my speech to the vnskilfull which desire to make vse of it for their

hinder thy worke to heare thy Schollers after thou hast once made this little booke familiar to thee The practise and order of study I know is a stranger vnto thee yet must thou now be sure that thou passe not ouer any one word before thou well vnderstandest it If thou ca●st not find out the meaning and true vse of any rule or word and hauing none present to helpe thee make a markethereat with thy
