Thirdly, the Scripture calls them blessed that wait on the Posts of wisdom, and are made wise thereby, Prov. 8.35. Blessed is the man that heareth me, and waiteth daily at my gates, watching at the Posts of my door. Prov. 3.13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and getteth understanding; so again, v. 18, And happy is every one that retaineth her.
Fourthly, The Scripture calls them blessed that are of a meek, humble, and a pure spirit, Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the pure in heart. Blessed are the meek in spirit. Mat. 5.
Fifthly, The Scripture calls them blessed that do walk in Gods ways, and not in the ways of the world, Psal. 1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth meditate day and night. So Psal. 119.1. Blessed is the man that is undefiled in the way; and so again, Psal. 112.1. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, and delighteth greatly in his Commandments.
