Therefore, Solomons counsel is wise, and good. And for that cause we trust not our own eyes, to choose our way: but we call unto God with the Prophet David,1 O Lord, show us the way, that we may walk in: We seek unto him, that saith,2 I am the Way, the Trueth, and the Life: I am the Light of the World: who so followeth me, 3walketh not in darkness, but hath the Light of Life. And we thank God, that with his Dayspring from above hath visited us, and directed our feet into the way of peace: into the same way, that Christ hath showed us, and the holy Apostles, and ancient Catholic Fathers have trodden before us.
