I believe I fhall fomewhat furprize you with what 

 I have feen in a little Boy, TVill Wotton^ f Years 

 old the la ft Month, the Son of Mr. F/otton y Mini- 

 iter of this Pariih, who hath mitructed this Child 

 within the Lift three Quarters of a Year in the read- 

 ing of the Latin^ Greek, and Hebrew Languages, 

 which he can read almoft as well as Englifh -> and that 

 Tongue he could read at 4 Years and 3 Months old as 

 well as raoft Lads twice his Age. I could fend you many 

 Particulars about his rendring Chapters and Pfalms out 

 of the 3 learned Languages into Englifh, and his ad- 

 mirable Memory, which 'tis hoped will be attended 

 with as good a Judgment and Underftanding. His 

 Father, I believe, will fignify hereafter the great 

 Proficiency of his Child, lb much admir'd by every 

 one that knows what he can already perform.
