Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief
use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in d
iscourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of busin
ess.
For expert and execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one;
but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, co
me best form those that are learned.
To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for o
rnament, is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules, is t
he humour of a scholar.
They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abil
ities are like natural plants, that need proyning (pruning) by study;
and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, exc
ept they be bounded in/ by experience.
Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use t
hem; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without th
em, and above them, won by observation.
