And as the one is vi∣cious in respect of the defect, so the o∣ther is odious in respect of the excesse; the one is so farre from knowledge, as it knowes nothing, or verie little, and the other is so fraught with skil and ex¦perience, as it turnes the vse thereof to many most vile and vngracious purpo∣ses.
