§. 24. V. Especially be most careful in the choice of your Tutors and Instructors.
Though it be first your Parents part to choose them for you, it is yours to do your ⟨p. 152⟩best herein, to save your selves if your Parents by ignorance or malignity do mischoose. And the Rulers that allow not men to choose their own Pastors, yet hitherto allow the Parents or the Sons to choose their own Tutors, and Domestic Instructors.
