The English school-master, teaching all his scholers, of what age soever, the most easie, short, and perfect order of distinct reading, and true writing our English tongue, that hath ever yet beene known or published by any. And further also, teacheth a direct course, ho any unskilful person may easily both understand any hard English words, which they shal in the scriptures, sermons, or else-where heare or reade: and also be made able to use the same aptly themselves; and generally, whatsoever is necessary to be known for the English speech: so that he which hath this book only, needeth to buy no other to make him fit from his letters unto the grammar-school, for an apprentice, or any other his private use, so far as concerneth Englishe. And therefore is made not only for children, bough the first books be meer childish for them, ... devised for thy sake that wastest any part of this skil, by Edward Cook. Master of the Free-school in St. Edmonds Bay. ...
