<HEAD>A Model for a School for the better Education of YOUTH.</HEAD>
<P>REa&s;on differences a man from a Bea&s;t, Learning makes one man differ from another; therefore timely care ought to be taken in the Education of Gentlemen, that they may have &s;ome general Improvement in all kind of Knowledge before they begin to ta&s;t of Plea&s;ure and will not bear the Yoak.</P>
<P>Learning may be divided into two parts, Fir&s;t, the toyl&s;ome part, con&s;i&s;ting in <HI>Reading, Writing,</HI> getting the <HI>Grammer,</HI> and the <HI>Copia Verborum;</HI> Secondly, the plea&s;ant part, which may be divided into two Branches; Fir&s;t the Solid part, by which I mean the Knowledge of things, e&s;pecially &s;uch things as are obvious to &s;en&s;e, as <HI>Herbs, Druggs, Seeds, Mineral-Juices, Metals, Pretious Stones, Birds, Bea&s;ts, Fi&s;hes, Anatomy, A&s;tronomy, Geography, Geome|try, Arithmetick, Gardning, Planting,</HI> &amp;c.</P>
<P>Secondly the Mechanick or Complemental part, As <HI>Dancing, Singing, In&s;trumental Mu&s;ick, Fencing, Wre&s;tling, Vaulting, Riding</HI> the manag'd Ho<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;e, <HI>Military Di&s;cipline, Painting, Turning,</HI> &amp;c. My Intention is to Demon&s;trate how Gentlemen may attain at lea&s;t &s;ome general Knowledge in mo&s;t of the&s;e things in the time they &s;pend at School, were Schools order'd as they might be.</P>
<P>To this end, Fir&s;t <HI>Grammer</HI> mu&s;t be made Short and Plain, e|&s;pecially the Rudiments of it. Secondly, the way to gain the <HI>Co|pia Verborum,</HI> mu&s;t be made Ea&s;ie; Thirdly, things obvious to Sen&s;e, mu&s;t be learn't with words. Fourthly, one Ma&s;ter mu&s;t not be charged with too many Schollars, &s;uppo&s;e ten, or at mo&s;t fifteen, and they mu&s;t be all in one form. Fiftly, Profe&s;&s;ors mu&s;t be always upon the place to teach the delightful part of Learning in the times of Intermi&s;&s;ion.</P>
<P>I have peru&s;ed all Models which have come to my hands, and have made the be&s;t Ob&s;ervation I could upon them, and I find none that offers fairer than <HI>M. Lewis</HI> of <HI>Tottenham High-cro&s;s:</HI> I have carefully examined his Notions, upon which he builds his whole <HI>Grammatical Hypothe&s;is;</HI> They are mainly two. Fir&s;t, that the Rules of Grammer ought to be plain, that they ay be ea&s;i|ly Under&s;tood; e&s;pecially becau&s;e they are to be learn't by Chil|dren, to the meane&s;s of who&s;e capacities we ought to conde&s;cend; Now plainne&s;s in regard of the thing &s;ignifying, therefore the Rules ought not to be in <HI>Latine,</HI> much le&s;s in Ver&s;e: and plain|ne&s;s

<PB N="2" REF="3"> is in re&s;pect of the thing &s;ignified, Therefore it is not rea&s;on|able to u&s;e Logical Definitions in the Etymologia, nor &s;econd Notions in the <HI>Syntax</HI> of the introductory Grammar. He &s;hews how mo&s;t things in Grammer may be brought down to the &s;en&s;e of Seeing, in regard of the thing &s;ignified: For the better effect|ing of which, he propo&s;es a Technical Author, in which the &s;e|veral parts of Speech &s;hall be Printed in a different Character, &s;o that what he cannot de&s;cribe by Rule, may be made &s;en&s;ible by Example.</P>
<P N="2">2. Secondly, he &s;aith the Rules of the <HI>Latine</HI> ought to be ac|commodated particularly to the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Tongue, and the Rules of the <HI>Greek</HI> to the <HI>Latine;</HI> becau&s;e all improvement of Know|ledg is by comparing what we are to learn, with &s;omething we know already, we tack on the New Notion to &s;ome old Idea we have before in our minds; It is a Law of Nature to proceed, <HI>a no|to ad ignotum;</HI> by this means the Rules of Grammar become more &s;hort and ea&s;ie to Under&s;tand, get, and keep.</P>
<P>The&s;e things are more largly di&s;cu&s;&s;ed in his E&s;&s;ay and Preface to his Grammar for the <HI>Engli&s;h, Latine</HI> and <HI>Greek</HI> Tongues, con|&s;i&s;ting of about three &s;heets, Founded upon the&s;e two principles; From which principles he makes the&s;e Deductions.</P>
<P N="1">1. The Grammer of the <HI>Latine</HI> may be accommodated to the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> in the Etymologia, to know the parts of Speech thus. <HI>Sub&s;tantives</HI> have a plural <HI>number,</HI> as <HI>Song, Songs</HI> No other part of Speech is di&s;tingui&s;hed in <HI>number</HI> in the <HI>Engli&s;h,</HI> be&s;ides <HI>Sub|&s;tantives, Adjectives</HI> have the &s;ame termination in both <HI>Numbers,</HI> as <HI>Good Song,</HI> Good &s;ongs, &amp;c So likewi&s;e the Rules for <HI>Govern|ment</HI> in the <HI>Syntax</HI> ought to be by the <HI>Engli&s;h &s;igns,</HI> which are, <HI>a, the, of, to, for, in, with, from, by.</HI></P>
<P N="2">2. The Declen&s;ions of <HI>Nouns</HI> and Conjugations of <HI>Verbs,</HI> are better known by the <HI>Theme,</HI> then by the <HI>Genitive Ca&s;e,</HI> or <HI>In&s;ini|tive Mood,</HI> as <HI>Mu&s;a</HI> is of the fi<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;t D<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">clen&s;ion becau&s;e it ends in <HI>A. Amo</HI> is of the fir&s;t Conjugation becau&s;e it ends in <HI>O.</HI> impure &amp;c. the Old way is a Circle.</P>
<P N="3">3 He &s;aith the <HI>G nders</HI> of <HI>Nouns</HI> ought to be concluded from the Declen&s;ion, which may be done by five Rule<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">, and not by the increa&s;ing of the <HI>Genitive ca&s;e;</HI> As all <HI>Nouns</HI> of the fir&s;t and fifth Declen&s;ion are of the <HI>Feminine Gender,</HI> &amp;c.</P>
<P N="4">4. Three Rules &s;tate the whole, <HI>As in prae&s;enti,</HI> if we add the <HI>Supine</HI> to the <HI>preter perfect ten&s;e:</HI> The Exceptions are the &s;ame with <HI>Lilly,</HI> and ought to be Learn'<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter"> at the fi<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;t <HI>Vocabulary.</HI></P>
<P N="5">5. The <HI>Syntax</HI> may be comprehended in three Rules according to the number of words declined, which are <HI>Sub&s;tantives, Adjectives,</HI> and <HI>Verbs.</HI> (1) a <HI>Verb</HI> hath <HI>Number</HI> and <HI>Per&s;on</HI> by the <HI>Sub&s;tantive</HI> be|fore it, of which it is the Motion; as, <HI>I did love, we did love.</HI> (2) The <HI>Adjective</HI> hath <HI>Number, Ca&s;e,</HI> and <HI>G<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">nder,</HI> by the <HI>Sub&s;tantive</HI>
<PB N="3" REF="3" MS="y"> after it, of which it is the manner; as, a <HI>good man,</HI> a <HI>good woman.</HI> (3) Every <HI>Sub&s;tantive</HI> (which is not the <HI>Nominative ca&s;e</HI> to the <HI>Verb</HI>) &s;hall be governed of the word before it, on which it de|pends according to the <HI>&s;ign.</HI> As, <HI>I do give the garment of my Fa|ther, to thee for a pl<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">dg with my hand from my Brother.</HI> All the&s;e <HI>Sub|&s;tantives</HI> have <HI>Ca&s;e</HI> by the <HI>&s;ign.</HI> Three Exceptions from th<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">s la&s;t Rule, do make the <HI>Syntax</HI> Tolerable for a beginner. Which are, (1) Appo&s;ition. (2) The <HI>Ablative ca&s;e</HI> ab&s;olute, (3) a few <HI>Verbs</HI> put acqui&s;itively where <HI>To</HI> is under&s;tood, all the other Excep|tions concern but a few particular Words, which may be ob&s;erved as they occur.</P>
<P N="6">6 He &s;hews how the <HI>Greek</HI> Tongue may be accommodated to the <HI>Latine</HI> in the Etymol<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">gia, by comparing the <HI>Greek Nouns</HI> to the <HI>Latine,</HI> and the <HI>Greek Verbe</HI> to the <HI>Latine;</HI> only there is but one Conjugation in the <HI>Greek,</HI> the Contracted <HI>Verbs</HI> out of Contra|ction, are of the &s;ixth <HI>Conjugation,</HI> and the <HI>Verbs</HI> in <HI><GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">mi,</HI> may be reduced to the <HI>Aori&s;tus &s;ecundus pa&s;&s;ive:</HI> al&s;o in the <HI>Syntax</HI> mo&s;t of the Irregularities of the <HI>Latine,</HI> where there is not an <HI>Elyp&s;is</HI> are Greci&s;ms. The&s;e things are di&s;cu&s;&s;ed more la gely in his Grammar.</P>
<P N="7">7. He &s;hews the great De&s;ign ought to be to teach Children things, e&s;pecially &s;uch as are obvious to Sen&s;e.</P>
<P N="8">8 That Words m<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">y be learnt together with things, he believs, <HI>Co|menius hic Janua Linguarum</HI> to be the mo&s;t compendious way, where the whole <HI>Copia</HI> of wo<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ds in their propriety are contained in a lit|tle compa&s;s, and may be quickly learnt. Further, that Book is a Sy&s;tem of Things as well as a repo&s;itory of Words, it is dige&s;t|ed into eight Comedies by the Author, and turned into <HI>Greek</HI> by D<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter"> <HI>Litleton,</HI> and was it dre&s;&s;ed in <HI>French, Italian,</HI> and <HI>Spani&s;h,</HI> the advantage would be very great. When it is learnt in <HI>Latine,</HI> the learning in <HI>Greek</HI> would confi m the <HI>Latine,</HI> both the&s;e would di&s;|po&s;e to learn <HI>French, Italian,</HI> or <HI>Spani&s;h,</HI> in a few mon<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ths; wh<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">n it is thus learnt, it would be like <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">opicks in the A<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">t o Memory. it concerns the a&s;&s;ertors of the old Method, to an&s;wer his Alle|gations, or not to reproach a Man behind his back, they are wil|ling to look in the face.</P>
<P>The Method he propo&s;es is &s;o Natural that I cannot but own it. <HI>From hence Education may be improved thus,</HI></P>
<P N="1">1. A convenient hou&s;e mu&s;t be provided, where all the Schol|lars may be kept within bounds, to prevent Debauchery.</P>
<P N="2">2. Secondly, Children &s;hould learn to Write betimes; this will di&s;po&s;e them to all things to be learnt afterward.</P>
<P N="3">3. Thirdly, That they &s;hould be in&s;tructed early in <HI>Geometry:</HI> for they will as &s;oon handle a pair of Compa&s;&s;es, as u&s;e a Pen, and draw a perpendicular or paralel Line, as make a Letter.</P>
<P N="4">4. Fourthly, <HI>Arithmetick</HI> is not to be neglected, &s;eeing they
<PB N="4" REF="4"> will as ea&s;ily under&s;tand the nine Figures, as &s;o many Letters, and may learn Arithmetick as &s;oon as Spelling.</P>
<P N="5">5. Fifthly, That they be &s;hewn &s;omething of <HI>A&s;tronomy</HI> and <HI>Geography</HI> by Globs and Maps, which will be as much a Recreati|on to them, as to know the &s;treets in <HI>London.</HI></P>
<P N="6">6. Sixthly, If <HI>Repo&s;itories</HI> for <HI>Vi&s;ibles</HI> were prepared for them, they would take content to &s;ee <HI>Hearbs, Plants, Druggs, mineral Jui|ces, Metals</HI> and <HI>pretious &s;tones,</HI> the <HI>pictures</HI> of <HI>Birds, Bea&s;ts,</HI> and <HI>Fi&s;hes;</HI> and by beholding the things would be better enabled to remember the names.</P>
<P N="7">7. Seventhly, It would lay a foundation for future Knowledge in Children, if they were &s;hewd the outward and inward parts of the Body, <HI>viz.</HI> the <HI>Mu&s;cles, Veins, Bones, Arteries</HI> and <HI>Intrals.</HI></P>
<P N="8">8. Eightly, It would be convenient, Children in the &s;ea&s;on of the year, &s;hould be &s;hewd &s;omething of <HI>Gardening, Planting, Ino|culating,</HI> &amp;c. They are capable of unde<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;tanding all the&s;e things, and would be delighted in them, becau&s;e in the practi&s;e of them, they are obvious to Sen&s;e.</P>
<P N="9">9. Ninthly, As they are growing up, it would much improve them to Travel under &s;ome prudent Guide, and to &s;ee the mo&s;t remarkable things in their own Country, before they travel a|broad: and to make Ob&s;ervations of Improvement of all Hus|bandry.</P>
<P N="10">10. Tenthly, To this &s;olid Learning may be added, <HI>Dancing, Sing|ing,</HI> In&s;trumental <HI>Mu&s;ick,</HI> &amp;c.</P>
<P N="11">11. Eleventhly, and La&s;t of all, frequent acting of <HI>Interludes</HI> would much improve Children in Audacity and Carriage, Particularly <HI>Comenius</HI> his <HI>Praxis Comica,</HI> containing the whole <HI>Ja|nua Linguarum</HI> in eight Comedies, which are very innocent, and they may be performed without much trouble for P operties; be|&s;ide the&s;e would improve the Children in their <HI>Janua</HI> when they have once learnt it.</P>
<P><HI>Obj.</HI> If G ammar be made &s;o &s;hort, and Words g<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">t thus ea&s;ily, that a Child of middle parts may be a Competent Ma&s;ter of five or &s;ix Languages, in three or four years, what &s;hall he do after|wards, before he is old enough to be &s;ent to the Univer&s;ity.</P>
<P><HI>An.</HI> The Child may further habituate him&s;elf in the things be|fore menti<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ned, and if he had &s;even years to &s;pare, he may im|ploy all his gained time in Hi&s;tory.</P>
<P><HI>Obj.</HI> Here are &s;o many things to be done, that one thing will hinder another, and &s;o nothing be effectually Performed at all.</P>
<P><HI>An.</HI> To this I an&s;wer, <HI>Store is no &s;ore;</HI> And every Parent &s;hall be left to his liberty to choo&s;e what his Child &s;hall learn, as be&s;t &s;uiting his Quality and natural Inclination; It is not to be &s;up|po&s;ed that all the&s;e things &s;hall be taught at one time; Perhaps all of them &s;hall never be taught to many at any time, they may,
<PB N="5" REF="4"> learn two things at a time, in regard they &s;hall be in&s;tructed in the&s;e things four times in one day, and may ea&s;ily keep what they have gotten; Doubtle&s;s in &s;even or eight years (the time u&s;ually &s;pent at School, from eight till fifteen) all that are not natural|ly Fools, may get &s;ome tolerable in&s;ight into many of the things before mentioned; or at lea&s;t every one may light upon &s;ome one thing &s;uiting his Genius, in which he may prove Excellent. Sure|ly this is better, then to &s;pend &s;o many years meerly in learning Words and a little Hi&s;tory, it is better to be a general Schollar, then to under&s;tand more profoundly, one or &s;ome few particular things.</P>
