Men wrongly complain of Experience. With great abuse, they accuse her of leading them astray. But they actually set experience aside, turning from it with complaints as to our ignorance, causing us to be carried away by vain and foolish desires to promise ourselves, in her name, things that are not in her power; and saying that she is deceptive. Men are unjust in complaining of innocent Experience, constantly accusing her of error and of false evidence.
