thou_o be_v truelye_o learn_v in_o thy_o art_n and_o therefore_o apt_a to_o work_v and_o use_v experience_n thyself_o and_o this_o regard_n to_o experience_n in_o learning_n make_v socrates_n say_v that_o learning_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v write_v in_o book_n but_o rather_o in_o man_n mind_n for_o this_o excellent_a philosopher_n well_o perceive_v that_o the_o committinge_n of_o cunning_a to_o
