1581

“How to walke on the water. For to doe this, take two little Timbrels, and binde them vnder the soles of thy feete, and at a staues end fasten an other; and with these you maie safely walke on the water, vnto the wonder of all suche as shall see the same: if so be you often exercise the same with a certaine boldnesse and lightnesse of the bodie.”

Thomas Hill, Naturall and Artificiall Conclusions

Good news: all it takes to walk on water is a couple of tambourines and a quick step. I’m off to practice this unto the wonder of all such as shall be swimming laps at the gym.
