AEque pauperibus prodest, locupletibus aque,
     Et neglecta aeque pueris senibusque nocebit.
     [Footnote:  Hor. 1. i.  Epist. 125.]

     Poore men alike, alike rich men it easeth,
     Alike it, scorned, old and young displeaseth.

So doubtlesse he shall lesse be idle than others; for even as the paces we bestow walking in a gallerie, although they be twice as many more, wearie us not so much as those we spend in going a set journey:  So our lesson being past over, as it were, by chance, or way of encounter, without strict observance of time or place, being applied to all our actions, shall be digested, and never felt.  All sports and exercises shall be a part of his study; running, wrestling, musicke, dancing, hunting, and managing of armes and horses.  I would have the exterior demeanor or decencie, and the disposition of his person to be fashioned together with his mind:  for, it is not a mind, it is not a body that we erect, but it is a man, and we must not make two parts of him.  And as Plato saith, They must not be erected one without another, but equally be directed, no otherwise than a couple of horses matched to draw in one selfe-same teeme.  And to heare him, doth he not seeme to imploy more time and care in the exercises of his bodie:  and to thinke that the minde is together with the same exercised, and not the contrarie?  As for other matters, this institution ought to be directed by a sweet-severe mildnesse; Not as some do, who in liew of gently-bidding children to the banquet of letters, present them with nothing but horror and crueltie.  Let me have this violence and compulsion removed, there is nothing that, in my seeming, doth more bastardise and dizzie a welborne and gentle nature:  If you would have him stand in awe of shame and punishment, doe not so much enure him to it:  accustome him patiently to endure sweat and cold, the sharpnesse of the wind, the heat of the sunne, and how to despise all hazards.  Remove from him all nicenesse and quaintnesse in clothing, in lying, in eating, and in drinking:  fashion him to all things, that he prove not a faire and wanton-puling boy, but a lustie and vigorous boy:  When I was a child, being a man, and now am old, I have ever judged and believed the same.  But amongst other things, I could never away with this kind of discipline used in most of our Colleges.  It had peradventure been lesse hurtfull, if they had somewhat inclined to mildnesse, or gentle entreatie.  It is a verie prison of captivated youth, and proves dissolute in punishing it before it be so.  Come upon them when they are going to their lesson, and you heare nothing but whipping and brawling, both of children tormented, and masters besotted with anger and chafing.  How wide are they, which go about to allure a childs mind to go to its booke, being yet but tender and fearefull, with a stearne-frowning countenance, and with hands full of rods?  Oh wicked and pernicious
