24. But this Will of God in this very respect, is said to be good, perfect and acceptable to God. Rom. 12. 2.

25. The knowledge of this will is necessary to true obedience. Prov. 4. 13. Take hold of instruction, and let her not go: keep her, for she is thy life, and Verse 19. The way of the wicked is darkness, they know not at what they stumble.
