If thou perceivest that thou hast erred, persevere not in thine error: 1rejoice to find the truth, and* magnify it. Study therefore three things especially; to understand well, to say well, and to do well.
If thou perceivest that thou hast erred, persevere not in thine errour: 1rejoyce to find the truth, and* magnifie it. Study therefore three things especially; to understand well, to say well, and to do well.
- 1Psal. 69. 9.
- *Si verum audias silentio protinus reverere, illique tanquam divinae rei assurgito.
And when thou meetest with God's children, be sure to make some holy advantage by them: learn of them, all the good that ⟨p. 170⟩thou canst; and communicate with them, all the good things that thou knowest. The more good thou teachest others, the more will God stillk minister unto thee. For, as the gifts of Men, by much using, do perish and decrease: So the gifts of God, by much using, do the more grow and increase; like thel widow's pitcher of Oil, which the more it poured to fill other vessels, the more it was still replenished in it self.
