These things which I have hitherto spoken concern ⟨p. 84⟩all in general,1 but more particularly us that profess the studies of learning. For it is the common consent of all that ever either founded, or governed schools, or ever were conversant in them, or would that others should frequent them, that they who are here brought up should become not only more learned but better mannered also then other men. Which trueth being so evident, they describe a school to be A company appointed by GOD, of such as teach and learn sciences meet & necessary for mankind both touching God and other good things, that the knowledge of God amongst men be not clean abolished, that the Church be continued and preserved, that many may be made heirs of life eternal, that discipline be maintained, and that men may enjoy other honest commodities issuing out of the arts.
