so_o frequent_a and_o common_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o fullness_n of_o wisdom_n be_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n yea_o without_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o obtain_v this_o virtue_n which_o saint_n augustine_n plain_o testify_v in_o these_o word_n we_o sermon_n find_v many_o most_o negligent_a and_o careless_a of_o righteousness_n but_o most_o greedy_a and_o desirous_a of_o wisdom_n the_o divine_a scripture_n do_v teach_v these_o that_o they_o can_v attain_v that_o they_o desire_v but_o by_o keep_v and_o preserve_v that_o they_o neglect_v o_o my_o son_n say_v the_o divine_a writ_n if_o thou_o desire_v wisdom_n preserve_v righteousness_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v show_v she_o unto_o thou_o wisdom_n be_v a_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o a_o principal_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o it_o be_v soon_o and_o more_o easy_o get_v by_o tear_n then_o by_o disputation_n by_o prayer_n then_o by_o alteration_n right_o therefore_o say_v augustine_n they_o that_o have_v learn_v apostle_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v meek_a and_o humble_a in_o heart_n do_v profit_n more_o by_o meditate_v and_o pray_v then_o by_o read_v &_o hear_v but_o if_o wisdom_n be_v a_o principal_a instrument_n to_o help_v other_o why_o shall_v not_o also_o the_o

be_v not_o so_o well_o get_v by_o study_n labour_n &_o speculation_n as_o by_o tear_n sigh_n &_o the_o course_n of_o a_o good_a life_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o that_o be_v convert_v unto_o god_n be_v no_o less_o the_o son_n of_o tear_n then_o of_o word_n so_o that_o prayer_n have_v no_o lesser_a part_n in_o the_o conversion_n than_o the_o fine_a oration_n of_o a_o most_o eloquent_a

affection_n and_o passion_n then_o by_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o whosoever_o appli_v himself_o to_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v other_o and_o to_o reform_v their_o affection_n
