this whole taulke hath tended to the onelie aduauncement of
trothe in Religion, and honestie of liuing: and hath bene wholie
within the compasse of learning and good maners, the speciall
pointes belonging in the right bringyng vp of youth.
But to my matter, as I began, plainlie and simplie
with my yong Scholer, so will I not leaue him,
God willing, vntill I haue brought him a per-
fite Scholer out of the Schole, and placed
him in the Vniuersitie, to becum a fitte
student, for Logicke and Rhetoricke:
and so after to Phisicke, Law, or
Diuinitie, as aptnes of na-
ture, aduise of frendes, and
Gods disposition shall
lead him.
_The ende of the first booke._
_The second booke._
AFter that your scholer, as I sayd before, shall cum in
deede, first, to a readie perfitnes in translating, than, to a
ripe and skilfull choice in markyng out hys sixe pointes, as,
{1. _Proprium._
{2. _Translatum._
{3. _Synonymum._
{4. _Contrarium._
{5. _Diuersum._
{6. _Phrases._
Than take this order with him: Read dayly vnto him,
_Cicero._ // some booke of _Tullie_, as the third booke of
_de Senectute_, Epistles chosen out by _Sturmius, de Amicitia_,
or that excellent Epistle conteinyng almost the
whole first book _ad Q. fra_: some Comedie of
_Terentius._ // _Terence_ or _Plautus_: but in _Plautus_, skilfull
choice
_Plautus._ // must be vsed by the master, to traine his Scholler
to a iudgement, in cutting out perfitelie ouer old and vnproper
_Iul. Cæsar._ // wordes: _Cæs. Commentaries_ are to be read with
all curiositie, in specially without all exception to
be made, either by frende or foe, is seene, the vnspotted
proprietie of the Latin tong, euen whan it was, as the _Grecians_
say, in akme, that is, at the hiest pitch of all perfitenesse: or
_T. Liuius._ // some Orations of _T. Liuius_, such as be both longest
and plainest.
These bookes, I would haue him read now, a good deale at
euery lecture: for he shall not now vse dalie translation, but
onely construe againe, and parse, where ye suspect, is any nede:
yet, let him not omitte in these bookes, his former exercise, in
_The ready way to the Latin tong._ 239
