They know not how to go into the City.
They know not how to goe into the Citie.
1This is an Hebrew phrase, such as is to be seen in the Psalms: and the way of the city they have not known, that is, they go up and down wandering, and can not hit on the way how to come to rest: For all ways lead to some place where men are dwelling, but they wander in all ways, they continue in none, whereas wise men abide in the way, and keep their place, although divers dangers and impediments happen, because they foresaw this would come to pass. Let every man therefore go about his business merely. He shall merely so do, if he remember he is in the world, in the middle of dangers. &c. Thus mishap is overcome, before it come.
