"Practise maketh all thynges perfect" (Thomas Wilson)

What maketh the lawyer to have suche utteraunce? Practise. What maketh the Preacher to speake so roundly? Practise. Yea, what maketh women go so fast awaie with their wordes? Marie practise I warraunt you.

(Thomas Wilson, The Arte of Rhetorique (1553/1560))
