look_v to_o the_o general_a universal_a end_n of_o his_o life_n and_o frame_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o that_o for_o therein_o proper_o wisdom_n or_o prudence_n consist_v when_o a_o man_n look_v aright_o to_o the_o utmost_a and_o general_a end_n of_o his_o life_n for_o a_o end_n man_n either_o to_o look_v to_o no_o end_n or_o to_o be_v as_o those_o that_o roll_v up_o and_o down_o at_o random_n man_n that_o have_v no_o particular_a scope_n to_o which_o they_o direct_v all_o their_o action_n this_o be_v gross_a folly_n but_o beside_o this_o if_o a_o man_n have_v no_o end_n or_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o particular_a end_n he_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o wise_a pilot_n or_o a_o wise_a statesman_n or_o a_o wise_a merchant_n or_o a_o wise_a warrior_n that_o set_v such_o particular_a end_n and_o so_o we_o may_v go_v through_o all_o but_o he_o can_v never_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n except_o he_o look_v note_n aright_o to_o the_o general_a scope_n and_o the_o general_a end_n of_o his_o life_n now_o he_o that_o walk_v with_o god_n perfect_o he_o only_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n because_o he_o only_o look_v at_o the_o general_a frame_n and_o course_n of_o his_o life_n aright_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o error_n as_o one_o say_v be_v because_o we_o look_v only_o upon_o error_n part_n of_o our_o life_n we_o look_v not_o to_o the_o whole_a we_o have_v not_o our_o eye_n upon_o the_o general_a scope_n and_o aim_n of_o our_o life_n and_o therefore_o we_o walk_v unprudent_o he_o only_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n i_o say_v that_o frame_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n aright_o and_o therefore_o wisdom_n have_v that_o excellency_n above_o all_o other_o thing_n because_o it_o look_v to_o the_o end_n as_o the_o end_n be_v best_a so_o any_o error_n about_o the_o end_n be_v worst_a say_v a_o divine_a as_o the_o end_n be_v best_a so_o folly_n and_o imprudence_n and_o error_n concern_v great_a the_o end_n be_v the_o great_a error_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n call_v this_o wisdom_n godliness_n and_o this_o folly_n wickedness_n the_o best_a and_o worst_a name_n that_o can_v be_v therefore_o if_o this_o be_v wisdom_n for_o a_o man_n to_o frame_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n aright_o to_o look_v to_o the_o general_a end_n to_o be_v sure_a that_o his_o scope_n be_v good_a than_o he_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n that_o walk_v exact_o with_o god_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v in_o other_o thing_n this_o make_v he_o a_o wise_a man_n second_o this_o be_v a_o property_n of_o wisdom_n for_o a_o man_n not_o only_o to_o know_v but_o to_o put_v in_o execution_n art_n that_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o prudence_n and_o other_o art_n in_o other_o art_n he_o that_o know_v what_o be_v best_a be_v the_o best_a artist_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o prudence_n he_o that_o know_v what_o to_o do_v and_o practise_v not_o be_v of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o foolish_a and_o therefore_o action_n be_v a_o chief_a property_n of_o wisdom_n there_o be_v this_o requisite_a to_o prudence_n to_o invent_v the_o work_n aright_o and_o to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n therefore_o he_o that_o walk_v exact_o he_o that_o not_o only_o know_v what_o to_o do_v but_o in_o good_a earnest_n do_v it_o he_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v according_a to_o their_o knowledge_n or_o

further_o we_o must_v chief_o look_v to_o that_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n which_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n point_v at_o above_o all_o other_o sign_n of_o this_o spiritual_a

of_o god_n as_o we_o be_v be_v they_o not_o buy_v with_o the_o same_o price_n &_o be_v they_o not_o as_o dear_a to_o god_n and_o certain_o if_o we_o show_v love_n to_o any_o church_n because_o it_o

certain_o god_n will_v recompense_v we_o with_o good_a if_o we_o do_v it_o with_o ill_a if_o we_o omit_v it_o for_o though_o he_o seem_v angry_a with_o his_o church_n for_o a_o time_n as_o david_n
