Secondly, God himself is the instructor of all humble persons, and frameth their hearts to be teachable, that they shall not fail to learn of him, and therefore must needs receive wisdom from him.

He giveth grace and guidance with his precepts, for mind, and heart, for knowledge, and affection, for will, and conscionable practise.
