ABSTRACT

What more learning have we need of, but that experience will teach us without booke? We can learne to plough and harrow, sow and reape, plant and prune, thrash and fanne, winnow and grinde, brue and bake, and all without booke; and these are our chiefe businesse in the Country: except we be Jury-men to hang a theefe, or speake truth in a mans right, which conscience & experience wil teach us with a little learning, then what should we study for, except it were to talke with the man in the Moone about the course of the Starres?1
