For 1.¹ there is no true wisdom but in it.^d Timor Domini principium sapientiae. The Fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom; saith Solomon. Yea, Timor Domini caput, or praecipuum sapientiae; ^eThe Fear of God is the chief and principal point of Wisdom; saith both^f David, and the same^g Solomon. And Job long before either of them,^h Timor Domini est sapientia ipsa: The Feare of God is wisdom, even wisdom it self. No true wisdom without it, no true wisdom but in it.
