A Young Man not a Wise Man.
IT is as impossible for a Young Man to be a Wise Man, as for them that cannot read their A, B, C, to read any Book, or to speak before they have learnd, or to go before they have strength: For how can a Man be Wise without Knowledge; which Know∣ledge is got by Experience, and Experience is the Child of Time. For though there may be many that live long, and know little, yet there are none, that have lived but a little while, that can know much; which is Youth: For Youth may know much for Youth, but not enough; for Knowledge consisteth in the weight and measure of things; so that a Young Man may have a little flash of Wit, but not a solid Understanding; and a Young Man may be a Hopefull Man, but not a knowing wise Man; a Young Man may be a Virtuous Man, but not a Valiant Man;
