THE volumes great, who so doth still peruse, And dailie turnes, and gazeth on the same, If that the fruicte thereof, he do not vse, He reapes but toile, and neuer gaineth fame: Firste reade, then marke, then practice that is good, For without vse, we drinke but LETHE flood. Of practice longe, experience doth proceede; And wisedome then, doth euermore ensue: Then printe in minde, what wee in printe do reade, Els loose wee time, and bookes in vaine do vewe: Wee maie not haste, our talent to bestowe, Nor hide it vp, whereby no good shall growe. Lectio multorum voluminum, & omnis generis auctorum, habet aliquid vagum & instabile: certis*ingeniis immorari & innutri ti oportet, si ve- lis aliquid trahere, quod in animo fideliter sedeat. Senec. 1. Epist. 2. *melius fortè, certis ingenia immorari.
