"Conference and company"
"Entertain therefore the acquaintance of men of the soundest reputation for Religion, Life, and Learning, whose conference and company may be unto you a living and moving Library. For conference and converse was the first Mother of all Arts and Science, as being the greatest discovery of our ignorance and increaser of knowledge, teaching and making us wise by the judgements and example of many: and you must learn herein of Plato, To be a lover of knowledge; desirous to hear much: and lastly, to enquire and ask often."
