1It is a Mystery: therefore take heed of slighting of Divine Truths.2 The empty shallow heads of the world make great matters of trifles, and stand amazed at baubles, and vanities, and think it a grace, to slight divine things. this great Mystery of godliness they despise; that which the Angels themselves stand in wonderment at, and are students in, that the wits of the world they slight, and despise, or dally withal, as if it were a matter not worth reckoning: but I leave such to reformation, or to Gods just judgement, that hath given them up to such extremity of madness, and folly. Let us labour to set a high price on the Mysteries of godliness.
