Whilst wee made an end e 1.6 of breaking our fast, f 1.7 the latter publike * 1.8 warning is gi∣ven: every one takes his] booke, wee goe into the common hall, g 1.9 the catalogues of every forme are * 1.10 called h 1.11 after the cu∣stome: they who are present, doe answer to their name, I also answered, i 1.12 the absents are noted in the catalogues by the * 1.13 Nomencla∣tors themselves: the calling of the l 1.14 bils be∣ing ended, m 1.15 the schoolemaster doth goe up into the n 1.16 pulpit, that he may pray; hee doth command us to be attentive and then hee o 1.17 doth pray publikely: when hee hath prayed, oo 1.18 Betake ye (quoth he) your selves every one into his owne * 1.19 auditorie: all p 1.20 meet together, I also come with my schoole∣fellowes, I sit in my place, the master doth inquire of the absents, afterward hee sitteth in his q 1.21 chaire, and commandeth the writing of the author to bee pronounced; wee pro∣nounce r 1.22 three and three s 1.23 with a cleare voice, as we are wont daily: Then hee com▪mandeth that we t 1.24 render the interpretation, some of the u 1.25 uder doe read one by one, o∣ther s of us doe repeat x 1.26 three and three, and that xx 1.27 without booke, besides him which goeth before us in order y 1.28 [repeating] the very words of the author: At length [our] master doth z 1.29 exact the English a 1.30 significati∣on of the words, the more learned scho∣lars, whom hee b 1.31 doth command by name,

doe answer: I also being commanded by him doe answer:Al. 1.32 they doe commend [those] who have answered well, d 1.33 of the number of whom I (which e 1.34 bee it spoken without bragging) was one: afterwards he commandeth the severall parts of speech to bee handled in order, according f 1.35 to the rea∣son of Grammar: last of all, hee doth pre∣scribe openly, what is to be repeated after dinner? * 1.36 eight of the clocke being heard, hee commandeth prayer, which being en∣ded, hee admonisheth that we doe our office diligently, at length hee doth g 1.37 dismisse us: * 1.38 as he looketh on us we goe forth in order, and without noyse, and wee depart being i 1.39 merrie. Master have I satisfied you?

Pu.

Doth it please you, that about supper time, I doe the same l 1.41 concerning the other actions of this day?

Pae.

There shall bee no need, for I have heard thee m 1.42 enough at other times concer∣ning those things, which are done in * 1.43 the houres of the afternoone.
