COme Boy! learn to be wise.
What doth this mean, to be wise?
To understand rightly, to do rightly, and to speak out right∣ly, all that are neces∣ssary.
Who will teach me this?
I, by Gods help.
How?
I will guide thee thorow all,
I will shew thée all.
I will name thée all.
Sée, here I am; lead mée in the name of God.
Before all things, thou oughtest to learn the plain sounds, of which mans spéech consisteth; which li∣ving Creatures know how to make, and thy tongue knoweth how to imitate, and thy hand can picture out.
Afterwards wée will go into the world, and we will view all things.
Hear thou hast a lively & vocal Alphabet.
