To his really respected good friends, Mr. Joseph and Mr. Humphrey Primate Citizens of London.  
YOur desires are (worthy Sirs) to have your Sons gain a faculty of speaking Latin, as well as English; a thing which I observe many parents wish for, and some schoolmasters more studiously labour after; but the many difficulties that attend the work (especially in a Mort Language, and with Children not throughly grounded, many of whose Parents, being illiterate, or intending something else, do not care, or afford any encouragement to have their Sons brought up in a scholarlike way) hath made most of our Profession, either not at all to undertake the task, or not till a perfect knowledge be had of the grammar Rules, which is very rare, (I had almost said impossible) before discretion.  
To help forward your good wishes herein, I have formerly furnished them with store of words; and some necessary Rules, or directions, how to put them together in form of Speech, imitating ever and anon the expressions of those Authors, whereof they were then capable. And observing that Colloquies are most suitable to children, (who like nothing serious long) and excellently profitable to attain ability of discourse, by comparing Language with language: I have purposely translated so many of the choicest Books of them, and disposed them in such method, as may readiliest enable young learners (as they pass the grammar Rules, and lower Authors) to write or speak properly upon any occasion, that so being acquainted with the Language aforehand, they may more cheerfully Proceed in Authors truly classical, and excerpt and note from thence such grammatical, rhetorical, moral, and other quaint passages, as themselves are able to observe or their Masters bid them mind.  
And because a man that keeps not the road, is likely many times to be left to go alone, and Children must be led along by an easier (though perhaps it be not a shorter) way then men may presume to take. I make use of such Books especially, as are generally received in grammar Schools; and have begun with Pueriles Confabulatiunculae, writ heretofore (as is probable) in Dutch and Latin by Evaldus Gallus, and with us commonly taught in Latin only, to young-smatterers in that tongue, because it seems cheap and pleasant.  
This therefore at present, I beseech you, be pleased to accept on your son's behalf, whom I thus study to benefit at a distance because I am engaged to you by special favours here, whereof I ought not to be backward to let the world take notice, however yourselves account it enough to have done a courtesy.  
And now the God of all goodness supply you and yours with meet gifts and graces to do him service: and increase your comforts here and herefter: Let me remain.  
Yours most ready to profit yours, CH: HOOLE. From my school in goldsmith's alley. April 21. 1652,

Whilst you stand so to repeat those things in order to me, you lose time. 50 Dum tu mihi ista sic refer: órdine, perdis tempus. P.

These sat up till midnight, and I might not stir one jot from them and therefore I could not awake sooner. I have no more to say. 70 Hi desiderunt usque ad mediam noctem, nec mihi licuit batum unguem ab eis discedere. Propcerea non potui evigilare maturiùs. Dixi. M. Why did not you invite me too amongst the guests.  Cur me quoque inter cateroes convivas, non vocasti? J. I will work with my parents, that you may be bidden now and then if you will so. 75 Tránsigam apud parents, uti vocêris non nunquam, si ita vis. N. Do you promise you will do that so for me?  Spondes id mihi sic facturum? J. I promise you in good deed.  Spondeo herclè. M. See you do not deceive me. 80 Vide ne fallas. J. It shall not be long of me, if you be not invited.

So I will do: 85 Ita faciam. M. Get you hence into your place.  Abscéde hinc in locum tuum. N. Do you bid me call the rest.  lúbes me caeteros recitare? M. Not at this time. I will not beguile the whole company of their lesson, for the slothfulness of a few. But remember this boys, hereafter you shall not at all excuse your absence?

On what day; or in what place? 20 Die sodes, quo die? aut ubi gentium; R. I have forgotten the day, I do not remember the place,  Dies éxcidit mihi, Locum non commémini. S. Say, who was there by?  Dic, quo praesente? R. I and thou. 25 Me & te. S. It is a lie.  Falsum est. R. It is a true tale.  Verum est. S. that which I say.  Scilicet, quod ego dico. R. Nay, that which I say.  Imó, quod ego dico. Q. Truly I doubt whether I should believe. 30 Vtri credam, equidem ambigo. S. Good master, I beseech you, if any one say the truth, that he may be believed.  Si quis verum dicit, quaeso ut credâtur, bone magister. R. I maintain that you spoke English. 35 Ego te assero dixisse vernáculum. S. Prove that I spoke it.  Preba me dixisse. R. Nay rather do you prove that you did not speak it.  Imó tu proba te non dixisse. S. I cannot. IF it were lawful for me to take my oath, I would not stick to sweat by all the saints in the calendar. 40 Non possum. Si mihi liceat jusjurandum interponere, nihil dubitem per omnes adjurare divos. Q. That you forsooth spoke English.  Te videlicet locictum vernaculum. S. I have very great wrong done me, most worthy master. 45 Insignis mihi fit injuria, praecepter optime. Q. Did you never speak English before?  Nunquam antehac protulis●t vernaculun sermonem? S. Very often, I confess.  Persaepo, fáteor. Q. It is credible then that you spoke English too, when he set you down. 55 Credibile est tum quoque dixiss●e verná ulum, cùm hic te notáret. S. He lies like a rogue; I neither spoke English when he was by, nor did he set me down. 60 Mentitur surcifer niece. go vernacalum locutus sum, hoc praefente, nec iste-notávit. Q Now verily, I cannot but laugh. And I know not whether I should believe. This boy never told me a lie before this day, you have once or twice, which now indeed makes your caus● the worse. 65 Rideo mehércu'è. Nec ufri credam scio. Hic mihi nunquam mentitus est ante hunc diem, tu semel at que iterum, quod nunc sane tuam causam reddit deteriorem. S. I acknowledge I have done amiss in lying aforetime, but now indeed I speak the truth I have not offended master. 70 Agnosco peccasse olim mentiendo at nunc profecto verum dico, nihil deliqui praeceptor. Q. Would you have me believe you?  Vis ut credam tibi? S. You may safely believe me, worthy master. 75 Credas mihi securè, magister observande. R. Good master either believe both, or believe neither.  Praeceptor bone, vel crede utrique, vel crede neutri. Q. I have light upon a couple of wranglers for aught that I see. Get you both hence with a mischief. do you keep the note. 80 In disceptatores incidi, ut video. Auserte vos hinc ambos in malam rem. Tu signum retine. R. withal my heart, seeing you will have it so.  Perquàm lubens, quando ita vis.   

 Col. 17. Theodore an old man, and Venantius a scholar.  Col. 17. Theodorus senex, & Venantius discipulus. T. Have you a pen and ink child?  Habes thecam pennáriam sili? V. Yes sir. If you will have any thing I will furnish you.  Euam dómine. Si quid vis suppeditábo. T. I would write two or three words. 5 Duo verba volo exarare. V. Yea, write ten if you will  Vel decem. T. Stand still whilst I write,  Subsiste tantisper dum scribo. V. I will go no whither write as much as you will.  Nusquam digrédiar, scribe, quantum vis prolixè. T. take your pen and ink again, child, I have set down what I had a mind to set down. I thank you.  Recipe, fili, calamárium tuum, notavi quae volui. Habetur tibi gratin. V. Why should you thank me? should an old man thank a boy especially for no service? 15 Quid mihi, gratiam habeas? senex adolescentulo praesertim ob nullum officium? T. Your manuerly saying sets me on, child, so that I have a mind to talk with you a little, if you be content. 20 Honest a oratio tua, mi fili, 〈…〉, ut tecum colloqui velim paulifper, si ánnuis. V I am not unwilling indeed to talk with you Sir: but I wonder what the matter is that you would speak with me.  Non abnuo quidem tecum loqui, domine: sed quid sit miror, quod mecum loqui velis. T. I would first know of you, who is your father and mother. 5 Scire ex te primum volo, qui sint parents tui. V. They dwell not here, & therefore I should name them to you but in vain  Non hîc habitant, proinde frustra eos nóminem tibi. T. No? where then?  Non? ubi igitur? V. At Wert. 30 Guertë. To That is a place altogether unknown to me.  Iste locus perquàm ignotus mihi. V. I believe you Sir. It is not so much frequented as this.  Credo domine. Non est tam céleber, quàm hic est. T. Is that, that Wert, a good town or a country-village? 35 Oppidum est, an pagus Guerteum istud? V. A good town, indeed, & that very populous. It is commonly called Wert.  Oppidum sarè, & quidem populosissimum. Vulgò vocátur Wert. T. Now I know it: There is great store of clothing in that place. 40 Nunc scio: magnum exercetur lanificium in eo loco. V. Now you hit it.  Jam tenes. T. I thought you had been a scholar.  Scholasticum te esse credidi. V. Indeed I am a scholar 45 Sum equidem scholasticus. T. How falls it out then, that you come hither to learn.  Quid igitur áccidit, ut huc studendi causâ advenias? V. I do not learn here. but in my own country. Now I came hither for my mind's sake with my father to the Mart. 50 Non hic studeo sed in patriâ. Nunc huc animi causâ cum patre profectus sum ad mercátum T. Now have you brought me into my way again.  Nunc me redux sti in viam. V. By whom then art thou taught?  A quo igitur es institútus? T. By the schoolmasters of that place where I was born. 55 A ludimagistris istius loci ubi natus sum. V. What like masters have you there?  Cujusmodi Praeceptores habes illic? T. The one lean, the other fat.  Alterum macrum, ping●m alterum. V. Are they bachelors or married men? 60 Caelibes sunt an mariti? T. Both married men.  Ambo mariti. V. Are they men of great learning, i. e. great scholars?  Magnâ sunt eruditione? T. I do not know truly. I think indifferent. 65 Nescio herclè. Tolerábili opìnor. T. How many scholars have they?  Quot discipulos habent? T. A great company indeed  Magnum sané gregem. V. What do they teach you  Quid docent vos? T. Truly that which we do not know It is a fond answer sir, but I hope you will pardon it. 70 Herclè quod nescimus. Ridicula est responsio, Domine, sed ignoscenda. T. I like it well enough. Is any of your school fellows a very good scholar?  placet. Ecquis inter condiscipulos tuos est insignitèr doctus? V. Herein I am not able to answer you. 75 Hic nihil habeo quod respondeam. T. Can they say any thing what one will in Latin?  Possunt quidvis Latinè dicere? V. I think so. I am sure they prattle every day in Latin.  Opinor, certè garrium assidue Latinè. T. What do you learn?  Tu quid discis? V. The grammar rules. 80 Grammátices paecepta. T. Have you done any good at your learning?  Ecquid operae pretium fecisti in literis? V. I am not able to judge of my learning.  Ego meam eruditionem non possum aestimáre. T. Shall I make trial of you? 85 Licet periculum tui facere? V. I do not say nay. If you will you may.  Non recuso. Si libet, licet. T. Can you say any verse by heart?  Ecquem versiculum tenes memoriter? V. A great many. 90 Permultos. T. Reapeate some one.  Proser unum quémpiam. V. To please great men desérves no little praise.  Princibus placuisse viris, non ultima laus est. T. Construe it,  Cóllige constructionem. V. It is not the last praise, to please chief men. 95 Non est ultima laus, Placuisse principibus viris. T. What meaneth that sentence?  Quid ea oratie sibi vult?  It is not the last praise.  Non est ultima laus. V. That it is exceeding great praise; expressed by the contrary, like as we say a boy is not unlearned, whom we would say is learned. 100 Quòd sit laus eximia; per contrárium expressa, sicut dicimus, pú●rum quempiam non esse indectum, quem doctum volumus dicere. T. What signifieth the last?  Ultimum quid significat? V. That which is last in order, but here, as oft otherwhere it is put for the least, or very little, or the lowest, as the first is put for the chief & most excellent 110 Quod est ordine postremum, verùm hic, ut & aliás saepe pro minimo aut exiguo, aut insimo ponitur, quemádmodum primus pônitur pro summo & eximio. T. What part of speech is Ultima? 115 Quae Pars orationis est Ultima? V. My master reckoned it amongst the nouns ordinal. For he is not wont to dispute curiously about such matters. 120 Meus magister retulit inter nómina ordinália. Nam de tálibus rebus non soles anixè disputáre. T. And he had rather have such scholars as can tell how to use words then how to wrangle about them.  Et ipse discipulos habére mavult, qui sciant vocibus ut, quám qui de illis degladiári noverint. V. Whence is the infinitive Mood, placuisse governed, or upon what doth it depend? 125 Infinitum placuisse unde regitur, aut á quo pendet. T. I think this may be spoken two ways: first that it dependeth on the Verb est, so that an Accusative case may be understood; as the old fashion is for Verbs to have an accusative case after them with an Infinitive mood, as this may be the construction: It is not the last praise (understand) for a man to pleas great men: that it may be like this speech* It is fit for a scholar to love his master. Again it may be said that the Infinitive mood placuisse is put instead of a nominative case, as it is for the most part; that it may be like this speech. To love is a most hurtful thing; or this, to play at dice is a most hurtful thing. 130 135 Duplicit'r hoc posse dici existimo: Primùm, quòd pendeat á verbo est, ut subaudiatur Accusativus, sicut mos est verb is pristinus accusativum post se régere cum infinito; ut sit ista constructio: Non est ultima laus (subaudi) hominem placuisse vitis principibus: ut sit similis huic orationi.   140 145 150 * Est aequum discipulum amare praeceptorem. Deinde, potest dici, quòd infinitum placuisse ponátur vice Nominativi, si cut plerunqueut sit, huic orationi similis, A máre est res damnosissima; vel huic. Ludere álcâ non est honestum. T. What meaneth chief men?  Quid sibi vult principibus viris? V. By chief men I think are meant men that are mighty, Noble, rich and the like, that chief may be put here instead of a noun Adjective, as it is used in Lucius Florus, the chief people. 155 Per principes viros puto significari viros praepotentes, nòbiles, divites, & similes: ut princeps hîc ponátur loco nominis Adjectior, sicut apud Lucium Florum usurpatur Princeps pópulus.  Nor is that any strange thing; For Terence also said an old Merchant. And an old wife as cunning as a fox is to be found in Erasmus. 160 Nec id novum est; Nam & senex mereator dixit Terentius.    Anus vulpes extat apud Erasmum: T. What kind of verse is this? 165 Cujusmodi versic ulus est iste? V. An heroic Hexameter  Heroicus Hexameter. T. Whereof doth it consist?  Vnae constat ille? V. In the first four feet of a Spondie, & Dactyle indifferently: in the fift of a dactyle only; in the sixt of a Spondie or trochee. 170 In quatuor primis pedibus indifferenter ex Dáctylo, vel Spondaeo: in quinto è solo Dáctylo; ïn sexto, Spondaeo: vel Trochaeo. T. How many syllables hath a Dactile foot? 175 Dáctylus quot syllabas récipit? V. Three.  Ternas. T. Of what sort?  Cujusmodi? V. The first long, and the latter two short.  Primam longam, duas posteriores breves. T. Do your masters teach you these things? 180 Haeccine docent vos magistrivestri? V. I beseech you, from whence else should I learn them?  Obsecro, unde ego alioqui háuserim? T. He must needs be a rich man. 185 Oportet illum esse virum opulentum. V. How so?  Qui? T. Because they get a great deal of money, that teach boys so.  Quia magnum quaestum faciunt, qui sic erudiunt adolescentes. V. But our master hath much ado to live. 190 At noster vix sese á penuria tuétur. T. Is he so poor?  Ita pauper est? V. Verily he is not rich.  Certè non est opuléntus. T. Truly, he deserves a better fortune. 195 Dignus hercle meliore fortúnâ. V. So he doth indeed: but he cannot make fortune his friend.  Ita est quidem: sed non petest fortunae litáre. T. How doth he and the citizens agree?  Quomodo civibus & ipsi convenit? V. Well, I think.  Opinor bene. T. They all strive to do him any kindness. 200 Favent illi certátim omnes. V. This I am sure on.  Hoc scio. T. Do they give him nothing?  Nihil dant? V. He is no asker.  Non est petax. T. He doth so much the more deserve their baunty. 205 Hócmagis promerétur munificentiam. V. Your commonwealths are able, but ours are not so.  Vestrae Respúblicae potentes sunt, at nostrae non item. T. What ones are your schoolfellowes?  Quales sunt tui condiscipuli? V. Good and diligent at their books. 210 Boni ac studióst. T. Do they love you?  Amant hi te? V. As a brother.  Tanquam fratrem. T. Do you love your master?  Ecquid praeceptorem tuum amas? V. Passing well. 215 Mirificé. T. You do well. But can you tell me readily, why you love him.  Honestè facis. At verò potes mihi expedire, cur aims? V. First, because he is a good scholar.  Primùm, quod sit vir doctus. T. He is worthily beloved of all good men for his learning. 220 Ob eruditiónem amátur méritò ab omnibus bonis. V. And then because he is so diligent in teaching us.  Delnde, quod in docendis nobis tam diligens sit. T. In this respect●e owe him a great deal of honour and love too. 225 Hoc nomine vos illi potissimum debetis honórem pariter & amórem. V. And also because he chides nobody but gently.  Tum quód néminem nisi clementér objúrget. T. Truly he deserves to be a Tutor to a Prince. 230 Dignus herclè, qui regum liberos dóceat. V. Nor doth he ever beat any unless he be admonished afore.  Necunquam caedit quenquam nisi admónitum antcà. T. He is a good man, as far as I can bear. 235 Vir bonus est, quantum audio. V. Besides all this. He doth so provoke all to follow their books, and to live well, that a Mother cannot more kindly win her child to suck or eat. 240 Ad haec universos sic próvocat ad literárum studium & honestatem, ut non possit mater benigniùs provocare suum infantem ad sugendum, aut edendum. T. He must needs be a naughty boy that lous not such a master.  Júvenis sit improbus, qui praeceptorem talem non amer. V. Therefore I said I did love him, lest I should be thought a naughty boy. 245 Ergò me dixi amare, njuvenis censear improbus. T. I have asked you my child, what I had a mind to, now I let you go. 255 Percontátus sum, fili, quae volui. Nunc te dimitio. V. Fare you well, Sir.  Bene vale, Domine. T. Farewell heartily.  Vale faeliciter.  And when you come to your master, commend me kindly to him.  Et praeceptorem tuum meo nomine fac officiose salutes adveniens, V. I will do it indeed with all my heart. 260 Faciam ac lubens quidem.   

 Col. 18 Arnold the master, Bernard the scholar.  Col. 18. Arnoldus praeceptor, Bernardus discipulus. A. Is there any among you that hath a good mind to play?  Ecquis inter vos est ludendi cúpidus? B. We all of us indeed desire that.  Vniversi herclé id cúpimus. A. What will you give me if I grant you leave to play? 5 Quid dambitis mihi si vobis sáciam ludendi copiam. B. We will all love you most dearly.  Omnes amábimus te plurimum. A. In what will you show that love.  Quâ in re declarábitis istum amórem; B.

We will never displease you; we will ply our books as fast as we can  Nunquam offendémus: summam operam impendémus in studendo. A. What punishment shall I instict upon you, in case you deceive me?  Si fefelléritis, quam poenam irrogábo? B. Impose what punishment you will, or keep us here perpetually hereafter bound in this prison, like a company of melefactors. 20 Quamvis p●nam ir●og●●to, aut nos ●îc perpetu● deinceps, tanquam maleficos, de●inéto vinc●o● in h●c cárcere. A. I yield to what you say, I like the motion.  Sententiae rest ●ae accédo Place● conditio. B. Play all; but so as to behave yourselves civi●y. 25 Ludi●e universis; sed honestè.   

 Col. 19 Conrad and Dydymus, schoolfellowes.  Col. 19 Conrádus & Didymus, condiscipuli. C. I would some ill chance or other might light upon our master.  Vt o●nes dii, d●aeque praeceptórem nostrum magno ●onent infortunio. D. What harm hath the master done you that you so storm against him? 5 Quid magister malefécit tibi, ut sic in ●um destomachéris? C. Because he lets us sit drowsing here in such fair weathrr.  Quòd nos hîc ●am ser●no coelo desidére patiatur.  At other times when it is either rain or stormmy weather, he will suffer himself to be    over▪ entreated▪ but now there is no entreating of him. 10 alias, quando v●l pluvi● est, vel prócella, patietur se exorari; nunc inexorábilis est. D▪ Why, what would you do?  Quid enim ●●cere velis? C. I had a good mind to play a good why ●●nce 15 Ludere jamdudum gestio. D. You wax sottish.

But the winds and showers were so boisterous that day, that I had no mind to look out of the doors. 20 Verùm illo die sic venti saeviébant, & imbres, ut mihi non libé. et prospectáre domo. D. Could our master foreknow what weather would happen?  An magister potuit praescire quid ●venturum esset.  I am sure on it, when we were dismissed, it was fair. 25 Certè, cum dimitteremur, sudum erat. C. But a little after we were gone from the school (O wonderful!) what a mighty tempest there arose on a sudden!  At paulo post quam sumus ludum egr●ssi, (Deum immortalem!) quanta tempestas subito coorta est! D. Seeing you are so desirous to play what, I pray you, have you a mind to do? 30 Cùm ludendi tam sis cupidus, quid quaeso, tibi libet actitáre? C. That which I might not do of late.  Quod nuper minùs licuit. D. And what is that I pray you?  Quid ist ud tandem? C. To run up and down the fields, to leap in the meadows, and to fill the air with shouting 35 In campis currere, in pr●is exul á●e, magnis clamoribus uácuum impl●te coe●um. D. O strange I what a fine sport is that?  Dii beni! quanta est ea voluptas! C. Do you not know? I had rather have this sport then eat honey, or sugar. 40 Non scis? Ego prae hâc voluptáte, ne mel quidem esitáre velim aut saccharum. D. I remember our masters spoke of some other exercises. 45 Ego magistros nostros alia quaedam exercitia memorare commémmi. C. There cannot be better found in my judgement.  Non possunt melióra reperiri, meo quidem judicio. D. What do you think of the handball. 50 Quid tibi vidétur pila palmária? C. I never used myself to that kind of play: and besides, my strength will not abide it, nor have I the trick of it 55 Nunquam exercui me isto ludendi génerè: deinde, nec vires supperunt, nec artem cásteo. D. What, doth fishing please you?  Quid, piscásio placet? C. Whether? Angling, or fishing with the net?  Vtra? Hamátilis, an reticulá ia? D. Both.  Vtraque? C. Truly I am delighted with neither. 60 Neutrâ hercle trahor. D. Why so?  Quam ob causam? C. The one makes ut slo●hfull, the other makes us wet.  Altera segnes; altra reddit uvidos. D. What? doth not wrestling like you? 65 Quid? num te lucta delectat? C. Not at all.  M nimè. D. Why not?  Cur non? C. I am afraid of falling. or, breaking a limb.  Métuo casum, fract●irámve. D. Have you not a mind to ride? 70 Non tibi libet equtiâre? C. I never came on a horses back.  Nunquam ascendi equum D. Have you not a mind to hunt?  Non venári; C. We want nets, hunting poles and dogs.  Desunt casses, venábula, canes. D. Have you not a mind to swim? 75 Non natáre; C.

C. I would never give me my mind to it  Haud unquam volui applicóre ánimum. D. That's strange, seeing it is both an ingenious thing, and very pleasant. 90 Mirum, x & liberále sit, & perquám jucusdum. C. I believe it. But I from a child could never abide to sing.  Credo. Sed ego à pueritiâ semper abhorrui à canendo. D. Now seeing no liberal exercise delighteth you I wonder that anybody can endure to play with you. 95 Cum verò nulla te-liberalis exercit átio detectet, demiror si quis tecum ludere sustineat. C. O you mad boy, do you think that all are so testy as you are? 100 O insane, credis universo; tam tétricos esse quám tu et?  Indeed I would (play) if I could.  Equidem si possem vellem. D. Hold your peace, the master is here: if he should catch us talking, and ask us, what answer should we make? 105 Tace, magister adest, si nos confabulantes deprehendat, & perconté ur quid respondeamus? C. I can easily find what to answer.  Ego repériam facilè quod respondeam.

 Col. 21. Gilbert and Hubert, schoolfellowes.  Col. 21. Gilbertus & Hubertus condiscipuli. G. Ho, Ho, Hubert, the best of my companions.  Heus, heus, Huberte, sodálium optime. H. Who calls me?  Quis me vocat? G. I. You come to me in very good time. 5 Ego. Peropportunè te mihi offers. H. What is the business? tell me quickly.  Quid negotii? dic ci ò. G. Whither go you so fast  Quò properas? H. To the Wi●e tavern.  Ad oenopólium. G. What will you do there?  Quid ibi facturus? H. I am going to fetch the master●h me. 10 Accerso praeceptórem domum. G. Is he at the Teverne?  Est in oenopólio? H We believe he is there.  Crédimus ibi esse. G. With whom did he go thither?  Quicum abivit illuc? H I know not. You busy yourself about trifles. 15 Nihil scio. Nugae sunt, quas agis. G. Nay but, I desire a serious piece of husiness of you.  Imó, abs te sériam óperam éxpero. H. I would not say nay to it if I had leisure: but I am not at leisure now.  Non a nuam, si vacet: sed non vacat modò. G. It will not be long. I pray thee, do not go a way any whither.  Non eri: langum. Quaeso, ne quo abeas. H. What is your will; say in a word.

H. I hear you.  Audio. G. Now I much fear me lest this letter should complain of me.  Nunc ego mihi malè métuo, ne me criminentur hae literae. H. What have you done? 40 Quid fecisti? G. Nothing, that I know on.  Nihil, quod sciam. H. Why then do you say you fear, lest it should complain of you?  Cur ergò timere te dicis, ne te criminentur? G. Because my father said it was a letter of commendations. Where I suspect there is some trechecy underhand. 45 Quoniam pater dicit esse commendatitias. Vhi suspicor subesse fraudem. H. You say that which is likely to be true.  Verisimile d cis. G. L●os upon the letter quickly, it will resolve us of all the matter. 50 Inspice literas cito. Illae nobis rem omnem expédient. H. harken. 50 Ausculta.  Herman Ceratine sends commendations to Evaldus Gallus. 55 Hermánus Ceratinus Evaldo Gallo salútém dicit.  He that delivereth you this letter is very tender to me, because he is my son: I pray you strive to mend him, lest I begin to hate him for his naughtiness. 60 Qui tibi has tradit literas charissimus mihi est, quia filius: hunc, quaeso ne proptey improbitatem odisse inciptam, emendáre stude.  Words, or rating, or chiding, will do no good upon him.  Verbis nihil proficitur, aut increpatióne, aut jurgio.  I have made trial.  Expertus sum.

Farewell.  Valèto. G. A fine change indeed.  Artificiosa, ita me dii bene ament, mutatio, H.

 Col. 31. Melchior the waiter, Nichasius the Master.  Col. 31. Melchior minister, Nichasius. Magister. M. I desire to be taught but without chiding.  Docéri cupio, sed citra jurgium. N. Whatsoever savours not of a jest is chiding to you.  Quicquid non sapit jocum, tibi jurgium est. M. Yet truly I will remember those things which you commanded me. 5 Equidem illa, quae mihi praecepisti, rectè mémini tamen. N. To wit concerning meetings.  Nempe de congressibus. M. Ay, the very same. Nor am I such a blockhead, as you make me. 10 Nempe istud ipsum: Nec sum tam hebes, quàm tu me facis. N. It remains therefore that you learn what manners he must use, that is a waiter at a Table.  Superest igitur ut discas, quibus moribus utendum sit illi, qui convivii minister est. M. This I would know. 15 Hoc volo scire.  For in this matter there is much mistaking  Nam hdc in re multúm peccátur. N. First therefore I would have you remember this, that you are a servitor at the Feast. 20 Principio hoc volo ut memineris, ministrum te esse convivii. M. I will remember it,  Meminero. N. And therefore think that you are not to layter after the guests are ser.  Proinde cogita, non cessandum tibi, postquám accubuêre convivae. M. I know that.  Id scio. N. But as I would not have you be slow, so I would not have you too hasty, remembering that Proverb, which you learned, when you were a novice. 30 Verum ut tardum esse te nolo, it a nolo esse praecipitem, sed proverbii mémorem, quod, cum esses novitius, edidicisti. What is that Proverb, I pray you? For amongst so many things which I have learned, I can hardly guess; unless you mean this; make speed leisurely. i. e. No more haste then good speed; or, not too fast. 35 Quid istud est, quaeso, proverbium? naminter tam multa, quae didici, difficulter possum conjectare; nisi hoc vis; Festina lentè. N. That is the very same.  Istud ipsum. M. But that very same I will remember.  Verum istud ipsum rectè mémini. N. See therefore you stand mannerly at the table always (but when you take any thing away, or set it on) not sullen or pouting, but with a lively and cheerful count enance, not with your eyes looking down upon the ground, nor fastened upon any of the guests, but gently ready to move at every ones back, especially at the Masters of the feast; and then with a mouth not gaping, but with your lips lightly joined together. 40 45 50 Fac igitur (nisi dum tollis quid, vel apponis) mensae reverentur assistas usque non tristis ac putidus, sed vultu renidenti, ac hilari, non óculis humi dejectis, nec in quenquam conviuárum defixis, sed plácidè mobilibus ad omnes omnium nutus convivatoris; máxime tum ore néutiquam biante, sed labris leviter conjunctis, M. I will take order that I be blameless as concerning the mouth, and eyes. 55 Efficiam ut sim inculpatus, quantum ad os áttinet & oculos. N. You promise well.  Bene spondes, M. I will perform it indeed you shall see. 60 Reipsa praestábo, vidébis. N. Neither take notice of it, if the guests speak any thing inconsiderately; nor heed it, if they speak any thing uncivilly. 65 Nec, si quid à convivis dicitur inconsiderátius, adverte, nec si quid inurbánius, observa. M. You forbid me the same lately.  Idem vetuisti nuper. N. For I would have you to be quite deaf to filthy talk. 70 Nam ad obscoenos sermons prorsus volo sis surdus.  A thing which I have often told you of.  Id quod saepenumeró admonui.  Moreover, If any man would have any thing, supply him out of hand.  Porro, si quis quid vult, actutum suppédita.  Set away the empty dishes, fill the cups again, but not to the brim. 75 Evacuátos catinos ámove, pócula reple, sed non ad summum labrum. M. I will make them to be a little less than full.  Paulo minus faxo fint quàm plena. N. So it should be.  Sic decet.  Look about you.  Circumspecta.  Take away the platters and set on others, and again look about you. 80 Tolle patinas, & appone; item circumspecta. M. Forsooth, lest I should spill the pottoge upon anybody's clothes.  Vidélicit, ne cui vestem jure perfundam. N. So indeed. You shall neither taste the meat aforehand, nor, if any dainty bit be left, shall you gobble it up. 85 Ita sanè. Cibum neque praegustábis, neque si quid lautius superfuerit, abliguries. M. Peace I beseech you: the cookmaid hath untaught me that lately. 90 Tace, obsecro. Istud me nuper coqua dedocuit. N. If the strangers offer you any thing, refuse it modestly; but if they press it upon you, take it: and going aside a little, you shall either eat it, or set it up. 95 Siquid à convivis offertur verecundè reculábis; sin institerint, recipies; & páululum digressus, vel comedes, vel sepones. M. The guests offer me meat seldom, but drink ever and anon.  Cibos raro, potum subindè, offerunt convivae. N. If that be done at any time, drink a little and having filled the Cup again, restore it. 101 Id si quando sit, páululum bibet; & repléto poculo, dénuo restitue. M. Will you not have me wash it?  Non me jubes abluere? N. It is not always requisite. See you he very sparing of words. 105 Non est semper necesse. Verborum vide ut sis parcissimus.  If you be to answer any thing, speak in short; say nothing of yourself without asking.  Si quid respondendum fuerit, paucis oratiónem absolve; ultrò verbum nullum proferas. M. Our Giles taught me of late to avoid babbling; whom the strangers (because they saw him all tittle tattle,) set on a prating, and flouted him when he was gone aside. 110 115 Multiloquium ut vitem, documento mihi nuper fuit Aegidius noster; quem hospites (quoniam loquáculum esse perspéxerant) ad garriendum provocâre; digressum perstringébant. N. When anybody sends you any whither upon an errant, do not go away, unless you first understand what is your errant. 120 Missus à quoquam ad conficiendum negótium, abire noli, ni priùs intellexer is quid sit imperátum. M. What If I ask one again when I have not well understood him?  Quid si denuo rogitem, cum intellexi minus? N. You should offend less, if you inquire twice, then if you do your errant the wrong way. 125 Minus peccábis si bis quaeras, quàm si perverse negótium conficias. M. What remains after so many instructions?  Quid superest post tot praecepta? N. That you be free from filth all over your body, but espccially on your face and hands. 130 Ur sórdibus vaces toto quidem corpore, sed máximè fácie & manibus.  I will make myself a pretty neat, and handsome little fellow.  Sci ulus sim faxo, & formósulus.   

 Col. 23. Orasius, Philip, boys.  Col. 32. Orasius, Philippus, pueri. O. Do I find you here?  Hiccine te reperio? P. Scarce anywhere else but here truly.  Haud alibi sanè quám hic. O.

I make the bed, I make the fire, I fetch water, I wait upon my Master, forth and home again. 15 Concinno lectum, struo ignem, apporto aquam, abdúco herum, & redùco. O. I hear you.  Audio. P. I make ready the table.  Adorno mensam. O. Tell the rest.  Dic caetera. P. Waiting on my master whilst he is at dinner, I read over a chapter in the Bible. 20 Prandenti adstans, récito sacram lectionem. O. When do you dine yourself?  Tu quando prandes? P. When he hath got his dinner.  Ubi ipse pránd erit. O. What do you use to eat?  Quid ésitas? P. Whatsoever I have taken away. 25 Quicquid sustuli. O. How can you lay up so much meat in one belly?  Quomodo pote tantum cibi cóndere in unam alvum? P. Nay rather I take what serves my turn of what I have a mind to?  Imo de quocunque lubet, sumo quantum satis est. O. Who spends the other that is left? 30 Quis reliquias caeteras absumit? P. They are bestowed upon the poor.  In paúperes erogantur. O. What all?  Omnésne? P. All.  Omnes. C. The Gammons of Bacon too, and the powdered meat. 35 Etiam petasónes, & caro salita? P He hath none of these things in his house.  Nihil horum habet in aedibus suis. O. What do you live on then? or what is your daily sustenance? 40 unde vivitis autem? Quaeve sunt quotidiána alimenta? P. All fresh.  Omnia recéntia. O. Who gets his meat ready for him?  Quis parat ei cibos? P. What do you think of me?  Quid me censes? O. I know not what you are now. Once verily thou wast as dull as a Beetle. 45 Quales nunc sis, nescio. Olim certè non fuit quicquam hebetius. P. This man hath sharpened me and informed me?  Hic me exácuit, se erudivit. O. On free cost? 50 Gratis? P. Yes. But on this condition, that I should never leave him.  Omnino. Sed hac lege, ut ab illo nunquam discédam. O. Art thou such a fool, that thou wouldst yield thyself perpetually to serve any man for no reward? 55 Adeóne stulius es, ut alicui te in pérpetuam servitútem tradas nullo praemio? P. Can you desire any greater reward than I have? 60 Ecquid magis praemium expetas, quám ego fero? O. Tell me, what reward do you receive.  Expone, quod praemium feras. P. He will give me my meat and drink as long as I live.  Quoad vivam, suppeditábit hic mihi alimoniam. O. Do you serve for meat and drink only? where is your apparel in the mean time? 65 Tune servis pro alimonia tantum? ubi vestitus interim? P. He allows me such clothes as you see.  Idem praebet, qualem vides, vestitum. O. A fine suit indeed. 70 Elegans mehercle vestitus. P. If I die before him, I shall want nothing that is necessary, especially with so wealthy a master. But if he die before me, what ever he hath will be mine. 75 Si mortnus fuero ante ipsum, nihil mihi desuerit rerum necessariarum, praesertim apud tam opulentum herum. Sin ipse antè moriátur, meum fuerit quicquid habet. O. What if you should lie lingering on a long disease? 80 Quid si longus te morbus excoxerit? P. He will never put me away.  Nunquam submovebit. O. How do you know?  Qui scis? P. He is an honest man, he hath put me in a good surety.  Vir bonus est, bonum dedit fide jussorem. O Whom I pray you? 85 Quem, quaeso? P. Him that will render to every man according to his works.  Eum qui reddet unicuique secundum opera sua. O. Doth he fear him?  Eum timet? P. It anybody else do.  Si quisquam alias. O. In the mean time you must sit there perpetually, as if you were in a dungeon. 90 Interim istic, tanquam in carcere, perpétuò sessitare debes. P. We sometimes go abroad.  Nonnunquam prodimus. O. To whom?  Ad quos? P. To a Sermon, to a conference of good men.  Ad concionem sacram, ad Collóqniam doctorum virerum. O. Hast thou no leave given thee to gad abroad sometimes? 95 Non tibi facultas evagandi datur aliquando? P. Now I do not desire it. At the first it was somewhat sharp. 100 Non cupio modò. Initio erat subacerbum. O In the mean time you enjoy not the liberty to do what you will.  Interim non frueris libertáte faciendi quod libet. P. That which you call liberty is mere licentiousness. 105 Quam tu voces libertátem, mera licéntia est  For here I want no liberty to do well.  Non bîc mihi benefaciendi deest ulla libertas. O. But you must do every thing by a rule.  Sed ad proescriptum debes ómniafácere. P. Wither else should I run to my own ruin, unless I were kept in as it were by these senses? especially since we are all prone to evil from out youth. 110 Quo alioqui ruerem nisi his tanquam septis coercérer? Maximè cum simus ad m●lum proclives omnes ab adolescentiá. O. But how do you spend the whole day without tediousness? 115 Quomodo vero totum diem cousumis citra taedium? P. I would have you to hear that.  Istud volo ut audias. O. Nay rather I entreat you if it be no trouble to you, that you would tell it me at large. 120 Imo ego te oro, si non est molestum, ut mihi exponas. P. Being awake in the morning, I get up the first.  Experrectus manè, surgo prior. O. At what a clock?  Quota horâ? P. Commonly about five.  Ferè circa quintam.  Being stirred then, as I said, I presently rous up my corpse, and step quickly out of my bed. 125 Excitátus igitur, sicut dixi, sine mora corpus érigo; è lecto statim me subduco.  Having first spoken these words.  Haec verba prolocutus.  Almighty God the Father, Son, and holy Ghost be here. Amen. 130 Adsit Deus omnipotens pater, & Filius, & Spiritus Sanctus. Amen.  

A Prayer.  Orátio. I thank thee, O Father of Heaven and earth, for that thou hast kept me safe this night. 135 Grátias tibi ago, Pater coeli & terrae, quod me hac nocte servaris incolumem. Grant, I beseech thee, that I may so pass over this day in thy fear, that I may never swerve from thy commandments. 140 Da, quaeso, ut totum hunc diem in timore tuo sic tránsigam, ut à praeceptis tuis nunquam deflectam.  
Amen.  
Amen.   

 A Prayer.  Orátio.  Bestow upon us, O Lord Jesus Christ, thy holy Spirit, which may restrain our idle thoughts, which may frame our words and amend our lives; that we may be found worthy of thy heavenly inheritance, unto which thou (being made man) hast vouchsafed to come and call us. 145 105 Impertire nobis, Domine Jesu Christe, Spiritum sanctum tuum, qui vanas nostras cogitationes cohibeat verba formet, emendet opera; ut digni inveniámur haereditáte tua coelesti, ad quam nos (factus homo) uéniens vocare dignátuses.  
Amen.  
Amen.    

 Our Father, &c. I believe in God, &c. 155 Pater noster, &c. Credo in Deum Patrem &c. O. I would have you let me have those short Prayers.  Préculas istas volo communices. P. I do not refuse.  Non recuso.  What do you think of them? 160 Quid tibi videntur? Q. They seem very pious and effectual, if you utter them from your heart.  Piae sanè & efficáces, si proferas ex ánimo. P. My Master teacheth me such as these.  Tales herus meus édocet me. O. I commend you both; him, because he teacheth you so diligently, and you, because you so greedily entertain his doctrine into your mind. 165 Laudo utrumque; illum, quod te sedulo doceat; te, quod illius doctri●iam tam ávidè demittas in ánimum. P. After I have thus commended myself to Christ, I go out of my chamber, I do my easement, I wash my hands mouth and face, I comb my head; and then I take a book in my hands. 170 175 Postquam sic me commendávi Christo, progrédior è cubiculo, exónero alvum, ábluo manus, os; fáciem, pecto caput; deinde súmitur mihi liber in manus. O. What a one first?  Qualis primum? P. A holy one. In this for a quarter of an hour I rather meditate then read: and then I shut it again. 180 Sacer. In hoc, ad quartam partem horae magis méditor, quàm lego: deinde recluditur. O. Then at the length I read any books; but especially those from whence I may learn good language, together with discretion. 185 Tum demum lego quoscunque libros; sed illos potissimum, Undecls▪ quentiam cum prudentiâ simul hauriam. How long are you employed in that reading?  Quamdiu versátis in ealectione? Till my master be awake; for I attend him. whilst he gets himself ready. 190 Quoad herus expergiscitur; nam huic, dum vestitur, óperam do. By and by I fall to my Book again, till he hath finished the task of his hours.  Mox rursus ad libros, donec horárum pensum absolverit. When he saith Mass I serve him, I pray. In the mean while, time requires, that we have a care also of our belly. 195 Cum sacra facit, ministro precor. Interim tempus áppetit, ut & ventri prospiciatur. I take money and go to the market. 200 Ego sumpta pecunia ad forum pródeo. I buy either what he bade me, or what present plenty may afford. I make it ready; We get our dinner. 205 Emo, vel quae jussit, vel quae praesens copi● suppéditet. Paro; prandetur. After dinner we walk abroad, if there be any need.  A prandio deambulâmus foràs, siqua necéstita● est. But if not, our garden affords us room enough to walk in. 120 Sin minus, noster hortus satis amplum spatian● praebet locum. After those things, I have leisure to attend my Books or business, though those very seldom call me away.  Post illa, rursus vaco libris, vel negotiis, qua● quam illa perquam raro ávocant me. About supper time I return to the kitchen. 215 Sub coenae tempus repé●o culinam. All things are provided in a trice.  Momento témporis parantur omnia. We sup, we talk, but indeed nothing but holy discourse. 220 Coenámus, fabulámur sed ecastor non nisi sacras fabulas. And thus our minds and bodies being refreshed we go to our chamber.  Sicque refectis ánimis pariter atque corporibus, ad cubiculum progrédimur. He truly, just as if he was to depart out of the world that night, strives so with prayers, sighs, and tears. 225 Ipse quidem, haud aliter quam si eâ nocte sit emigrandum, sic certat précibus, singultu, lácrymis. I because I am so much employed, do bethink me of that days' offences, with as much devotion as I can, I ask forgiveness, and I beseech God my Father, that he would spare me through his mercy, who gave himself for us. 230 235 Ego, quoniam tam excitátus sum, quanta possum devotione, illius dici admissa reputo, uéniam peto, & ut parcat, per illius qui se pro nobis impendet miserecordiam, Deum Patrem obtestor. Then afterwards I add a short prayer. 240 Postea precatiunculam subjicio.  A Prayer.  Orátio.  O Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me, because I have sinned against thee.  Domine Jesu Christe, miserere mei, quaeso, quia peccávi tibi.  Save me hence forth from all evill●, strengthen me in every good work, and do not then cast me off as a reprobate, when thou shalt render to every man according to his works. Amen. 245 250 Serva me deinceps ab omni malo, confirma me in omni opere bono, & noli me tunc reprobáre, quando reddes unicuique secundum opera sua. Amen.  A Prayer.  Orátio.  O Lord Jesus Christ, cause that our enemy and deceiver Satan may never come near to this place. 255 Domine noster Iesu Christe, sac ut inimicus & insidiátor Satan hunc locum nunquam accédat.  Than at the last, I lie down quietly.  Tunc demum quiétè corpus depóno. O. I like that course of life passing well; and if I could I would fain imitate it. 260 Vehementer mihi arridet ista vivendi rátio, & si possim, cupiam imitári. P. You may indeed, but be not awanting to yourself, if any opportunity to live well be given you.  Possis quidem, sed ne desis tibi, siqua bene vivendi dábitur opportúnitas.  Especially since we do not know how long we are to live here. 265 Praesertim x sit in dúbio, quám diu simus hîc victúri. O. You speak very truly.  Verissimè loqueris.  Fare you well, I am called.  Tu bene valébis, ego vocor. P. I wish you well to fare, honest youth. 270 Opto tibi bene valére, optime juvenis.

 Col. 34. Simon a scholar, Timothy the Master, and a company of boys.  Cal. 34. Simon discipulus, Timothaeus Praeceptor, grex puerórum. S. Doth it please you good master, to teach us manners now?  Ecquid placet, praeceptor observande, ut nostros mores jam forms? T. Truly you put me in mind of it in very good time. 5 Peropportunè meherculè ádmones.  For now I am quiet in my mind.  Nam ánimo jam sum tranquillo;  And the opportunity of time and place doth persuade me.  Et temporis opportunitas hortátnr & loci. S. Would you have me sit down again? 10 Jubes me residere? T. Nay rather stand still here by me, whilst I shall speak what I intend.  Imo resist bîc prope me, dum quae volo, dixero.  Be quiet boys let none of you stir.  Quiescite, púeri, nemo vestrûm commóveat se. S. Do you not hear what the Master commands. 15 Non auditis, quid praeceptor imperet? T. Do you see this youth, boys?  Videtis hunc adolescentem, pueri? C. Yes.  Etiam. T. Do you know what he hath done? 20 Scitis, quid fecerit? C. No.  Minimè. T. He hath been very unmannerly here of late, when anybody spoke to him. I will now correct them. 25 Nuper pravos mores habuit, x vir quispian alloquoretur cum. Hos ego nunc corrigam.  Do you understand?  Intellxistis? C. Yes, very fully.  Cállid●. T. What I said to this boy, I would have the same said to you all.  Quod huic dicitur, idem vobis omnibus dictum volo. C. We apprehend you.  Tenemus. T. I will talk with you, answer me in due fashion. 30 Tecum loquar, respond mihi ritè. S. As well as I can.  Prout pótero. T. Did you know the man that spoke with you of late in the market place? 35 Noras' virum, qui te nuper alloquebátur in foro? S. I do not remember that ever I saw him before.  Antehac non memini me vidisse T. What did he say to you.  Quid dicebat tibi? S. He questioned me about divers things. 40 Percontábatur me de variis rebus. T. About what?  De quibus? S. About my parents, about my studies, and about my fellows which I have in the school.  De paréntibus meis, de studiis, de sodálibus quos in ludo habeo. T. What did you answer? 45 Quid respondebas? S. Truly that which then came into my mind.  Sanè quod mihi tum suggessit animus. T. I could wish you had used other manners.  Aliu moribus vellem ie fuisse usum. S. When?  Quando? T. whilst you were answering. 50 Inter respondendum. S. Yet he did not find fault with my manners.  Ille meos mores tamen non carpsit. T. I know it. He is an honest man.  S cio. Virest honestus.  He knew that was nothing to him. 55 Sciébat illam rem ad se nihil pertinére. S. If you find any thing faulty in me, I pray you mend it.  Si quid in me deprehen. disti vitiósum, emenda, quaeso. T. So I will: do you attend.  Ita fâciam, Tu aures adhibe. S. I do that already. 60 Istud jamdudum fácio. T. As oft as you go by an old man, a Magistrate, a Minister, a Noble man, or a Scholar, put off your ●at presently. 65 Quoties praeterieris senem, magistrátum, sacerdotem, virum nobilem, virum doctum, nuda caput illico. S. I will do so.  Fáciam. T. But if you sit anywhere, and such a one come by you, rise up to him too, and make a leg also. 70 Sin in sédeas alicubi, téque talis praeterear, assurgito quoque, & genu insuper flectito. S. I will remember it.  Meminero. T. Moreover if you perceive he hath a mind to speak with you, then stepping forward a little yourself, stand straight just before him. 75 Porro si tecum etiam loqui velle sénsetis, tum paúlulum ipse progressus, ex adver so consist rectus. S. Yes forsooth.  Scilicet. T. Hold your bat betwixt your hands.  Pileum inter manus contine. S. I conceive you.  Teneo. T. Set your feet even together.  Compone pedes quoque, S. I will do as you bid. 80 Fáciam ut jubes. T. Cast your eyes now and then upon him that talks with you.  intend oculos subinde in eum qui tecum loquitur. S. Now and then?  Subinde? T So I say.  Sic aio. S. Why may I not look upon him constantly? 85 Quare non est mihi continuè áspiciendus? T. Because it would be a sign of impudence.  Quod sit impudentiae signum. S. I understand you.  Intélligo. T. Besides that you should make a leg. 90 Praetérea debes flectera álterum genu. S. One or both.  Alterumne an utrumque T. One.  Altérum. S. Whether the right or the left?  utrum? dexterumne, an sinistrum? T. The right. 95 Dextrum. S. How often would you have me make a leg?  Quoties me jubes flectere genu? T. Ever and anon.  Identidem. S. I do not understand what that meaneth?  Istud quid sit non intélligo. T. As oft as you shall finish your answer. 100 Quotiescunque responsum absolveris. S. Now I know.  Nune scio. T. Answer boldly. Ask ●ashfully.  Audácter respond: roga pudenter. S. I apprehend you. 105 Ténco. T. Moreover, you must utter all your words plainly leisurely, and distinctly.  Porro verba omnia proferenda sunt tibi expressè, lente, & articulatè. S. What if bashfulness hinder me, as it falls out often times, whereby I dare not spoke out, what I would say? 110 Quid si pudor me praepédiat, ut fit saepe, quo minūs ausim, quae volo, proloqui? T. You should not be bashful in this case. But if at any time, naughtiness set you on, than you should blush. 115 Nunc non decet esse verecundum. Sed si quando nequ●tia stimulat, tam debes erubescere. S. You say truly.  Rectè tu quidem.  But I can scarce moderate myself, but that I blush, especially if any grave man offer to speak to me. 120 At ego mihi moderári vix possum, quin erubescam: praesertim, si vir gravis quispiam alloquátur me. T. Such shame is honest, if it do not degenerate into a naughty bashfulness.  Honestus est talis pudor si non degéneret in verecúndiam vitiósam.  Whereof we will then speak, when I shall have leisure to do so.  De qua tum fabulábimur, quando per otium licébit. S. Whatsoever pleaseth you the same should content us. 125 Quicquid placet tibi, idem debet nobis placére.  What do you think boys?  Quid vobis vidétur púeri? C. What about?  Quâ de re? T. Are you sufficiently taught? 130 Num satis estis instructi? C. Abundantly.  Abundè. T. What remains then?  Quid restat igitur? C. That we be always mindful of these things. 135 Ut horum femper simus mémores. T. And that you be thankful also to your master.  Ut & praeceptori vestro grariam habeátis. C. We give you immortal thanks, most worthy Master. 140 Grátias tibi ágimus immortáles, collaudatissime praeceptor. T. Well done.  Bene factum.    

Eras. Epist. ad Lectorem. De utilitate Colloquiorum.  
I matter not how I play the Boy, so it be for their profit. Nihil moror quàm pueriliter, modò utiliter. And I cannot tell whether any thing be better learned then that which is learned by play. Et haud scio, an quicquam discitur foelicius, quàm quod ludendo discitur.
