Meditation of the understanding, is when reason discourseth of things read, or heard,1 which the wise of the Heathen call, the refining of judgement, the life of learning. They that want this, how much soever they have heard or read, yet shall they never have sound and settled judgement. And this is one cause why it is said, that the greatest Clerks are not the wisest men.
Meditation of the vnderstanding, is when reason discourseth of things read, or heard,1 which the wise of the Heathen call, the refining of iudgement, the life of learning. They that want this, how much soeuer they haue heard or read, yet shall they neuer haue sound and setled iudgement. And this is one cause why it is said, that the greatest Clerkes are not the wisest men.

Meditation of the affections, is when having a thing in judgement, we ever digest it and make it work upon our affections. It is continual searching of our selves, and labouring to lay up all things in the treasures of our hearts. The other will go away except this be joined with it: for judgement will away except we frame our affections unto it.
