Reading maketh a full man, conference a readye man, and writing an exacte man. And therefore if a man write little, he has neede haue a great memorie, if he conferre little, he had need haue a present wit, and if he reade little, he had neede haue much cunning, to seeme to know that he doth not.
Histories make men wise, Poets wittie; the Mathematickes subtle, natural Phylosophie deepe; Morall graue, Logicke and Rhetoricke able to contend.
And therefore if a man write little, he need have a great memory.
