Whereas the word of God that revealeth his will about all these,1 is more §2sweet to his servants, then the honey comb; yea, all the pleasures of the world are not in their account to be compared to the wisdom thereof:2 but that which is said of the man of God, That he had more pleasure in the word of god then in all manner of riches, and that they were the joy of his hart, his matter of song and his companions to talk & solace himself with; it is far from them.3 Therefore when the blessed of the Lord are set forth in the scriptures, to delight in the law of God: the wicked on the contrary, are described to speak thus: Depart from us (ô Lord); we desire not, nor are delighted in the knowledge §Eof thy ways.
