parced, twise translated ouer by good aduisement, marked out his six pointes by skilfull iudgement, he shall haue necessarie occasion, to read ouer euery lecture, a dosen tymes, at the least. Which, bicause he shall do alwayes in order, he shall do it alwayes with pleasure: And pleasure allureth loue: loue hath lust to labor: labor alwayes obteineth his purpose, as most Rhet. 2 // trewly, both _Aristotle_ in his Rhetoricke & _Oedipus_ In Oedip. Tyr. // in _Sophocles_ do teach, saying, pan gar ekponou- Epist. lib. 7. // menon aliske. _et. cet._ & this oft reading, is the verie right folowing, of that good Counsell, which _Plinie_ doth geue to his frende _Fuscus_, saying, _Multum, non multa_. But to my purpose againe: Whan, by this diligent and spedie reading ouer, those forenamed good bokes of _Tullie, Terence, Cæsar_, and _Liuie_, and by this second kinde of translating out of your English, tyme shall breed skill, and vse shall bring perfection, than ye may trie, if you will, your scholer, with the third kinde of translation: although the two first wayes, by myne opinion, be, not onelie sufficent of them selues, but also surer, both for the Masters teaching, and scholers learnyng, than this third way is: Which is thus. Write you in English, some letter, as it were from him to his father, or to some other frende, naturallie, according to the disposition of the child, or some tale, or fable, or plaine narration, according as _Aphthonius_ beginneth his exercises of learning, and let him translate it into Latin againe, abiding in soch place, where no other scholer may prompe him. But yet, vse you your selfe soch discretion for choice therein, as the matter may be within the compas, both for wordes and sentences, of his former learning and reading. And now take heede, lest your scholer do not better in some point, than you your selfe, except ye haue bene diligentlie exercised in these kindes of translating before: I had once a profe hereof, tried by good experience, by a deare frende of myne, whan I came first from Cambrige, to serue the Queenes Maiestie, than Ladie _Elizabeth_, lying at worthie Syr _Ant. Denys_ in Cheston. _Iohn Whitneye_, a yong ientleman, was my bedfeloe, who willyng by good nature and prouoked by mine aduise, began to learne the Latin tong, after the order declared in this booke. We began after Christmas: I read vnto him _Tullie de Amicitia_, which he did euerie day _the ready way to the Latin tong._ 241
