2. Care. It happens seldom that we see what we see at this time, the illustrious Example of a Mother capable to form the Man as well as to breed up the Infant.

Before the time of forming the Man begins, Governors and Preceptors should be provided fit for this great work in every respect. The qualities necessary to render them so, are in general obvious enough; but these is one not so easy to be discerned, and without which the others will not have their full effect.

These Governors and Preceptors must be men, who look on the choice made of them, not barely as a Court- Preferment, or as a way the more open to future advancement of Fortune, but as the greatest trust which can be repose in any Men. A Trust for which they are answerable to God and Man, to their King, to their Country, to the present and to future ages: such alone are fit to be entrusted with the Education of a Prince, whatever mark they hold in life, and happy it is if they can be found in any.

The moral Character of Children begins to form itself well or ill much sooner than is commonly thought; and, how odly soever it may sound, there is a Philosophy of Infancy as well as of Old Age.

This Philosophy should be taught by inculcating frequently on these tender minds the great principles of Natural Religion and of Moral Obligation in a manner suitable to their conceptions of things and to the progress of their Understandings.

When these Principles are thus early inculcated, and every occasion is taken to cultivate and improve them, they will become so habitual that they may seem natural.
