prevalent advantages, effectually pursued, to promote the execution thereof, without putting himself to the charge of a great journey at adventure; and a condign recompence procured out of the benefit, which thence may accrue to the publick, or otherwise, with as much reality, and sincerity, as if he himself were present, and able to prosecute the same. Whosoever shall be so instrumental to their own happiness, and future content, to avoid the pernicious effects of ignorance in their children, and season their tender years, by endeavouring the right framing of their studiss to the ready attainment of virtue and knowledge, during their flexibility (according to the order of duty, and the talent committed to them, whereof they must be accountable) may, in cases of such importance and concernment, have such excellent designs illustrated unto them, and such observable inferences for their educations, that those parents, that are truly generous and careful of their children's good, cannot but exceedingly approve thereof, and very much incline thereunto. See, Whosoever shall be inclinable to travel into any part beyond the seas, may happily, by address, enjoy the blessings of such unanimous consociation, as may most nearly be consistent with his disposition, so that by a candid and sympathetical participation and complacency in all occurrences, and by the intercourse of mutual friendship and correspondency, their affections may be so firmly tied together in bonds of unity, and so intirely woven within one another, that they may rationate, consult, and co-operate jointly in their travels, and the one may, by their amicable coherency and combination, meliorate, improve, and be helpful unto the other in their abilities; and may further, by men of worth, knowledge, and experience, be respectively intelligenced, instructed, and advertised of the manner and condition of travelling into what part soever, how to steer his course with cautiousness and circumspection, and to order and deport himself in his peregrinations for matter of expences, and to discover and decline all false representations, and how likewise to regulate and associate himself with such sort of people as he shall obviate and be conversant with, and may be furnished with gold for silver upon all occasions, and be recruited and supplied with all conveniences, wheresoever he shall come. Whosoever shall be desirous to travel into Ireland, Scotland, or any place of England, may, by entering their names, and the time they intend to take their journey, consort themselves with company suitable to their minds, and so pass in a coach together part of the way at an easy charge; or may be directed how to convenience themselves with horses to their desire, either by such as are to be returned by the carriers, or otherwise; or may know where to have horses at reasonable rates; or, if they will buy horses for their present occasion, they may have notice where to fit themselves, either from gentlemen or merchants here in the city, with such warranty and content, as may be fully satisfactory to their expectation. Whosoever shall have relation to Virginia, the Barbadoes, New England, or any other country inhabited with English, or shall have cause to send into any of those places, or would inhabit, or transplant himself into those parts, he may have all intelligence and expedients, with as much conveniency as may be. And such here in England, that shall have means fall unto them in any of these countries, or any there that shall have the like in any part of England, and would have commodities transported from the one unto the other, or any other reciprocal negotiation, or intercourse of friendship, of what importance soever. And so likewise into any other country, as France, Spain, the Low Countries, &c. by their address and application, according to their particular ends and concernments completely expedited; and what equitable offices christianity and humanity may afford, they may assuredly enjoy with all faithfulness and serenity.
