The word of God teacheth lowliness of mind: it teacheth us to know our selves. If we learn not humility, we learn nothing. Although we seem to know somewhat, yet know we not in such sort as we ought to know. The Scriptures are the mysteries of God: let us not be curious: let us not seek to know more than God hath revealed by them. They are the sea of God: let us take ⟨image 115⟩[…] drowned in the. They […]: let us take comfort by […] take heed, they burn […] gaze over hardly upon […] blemish in their eye sight. […] the people of Israel saw the […] in the desert, they said, Man Hu• […] this? so they reasoned of it, when […] it up in their hands, and beheld it. They asked one an other, what good it would do. The Scriptures are Manna, given to us from Heaven, to seed us in the desert of this world. Let us take them, and behold them, and reason of them, and learn one of an other what profit may come to us by them let us know, that they are written for our sake, and for our learning, that through patience & comfort of the Scriptures we may have hope. They are given us to instruct us in faith, to strength us in hope, to open our eyes, and to direct our going.
