Life of the Duke 1 5 3 



XIX 



That it is great wisdom in a state, to breed and 

 train up good states-men: as, first, to let them be 

 some time at the universities: next, to put them to 

 the Innes of Court, that they may have some know- 

 ledge of the laws of the land ; then to send them to 

 travel with some ambassador, in the quality of secre- 

 tary; and let them be agents or residents in foraign 

 countreys. Fourthly, to make them clerks of the 

 signet, or council: and lastly, to make them secre- 

 taries of state, or give them some other employment 

 in state-affairs.

That there should be more praying, and less preach- 

 ing; for much preaching breeds faction; but much 

 praying causes devotion. 



XXI 



That young people should be frequently cate- 

 chised, and that wise men rather then learned, should 

 be chosen heads of schools and colledges. 



XXII 



That the more divisions there are in Church and 

 State, the more trouble and confusion is apt to ensue; 

 wherefore too many controversies and disputes in the 

 one, and too many law-cases and pleadings in the 

 other ought to be avoided and suppressed. 



XXIII 



That disputes and factions amongst statesmen, 

 are forerunners of future disorders, if not total mines.
