4. Be careful to keep and preserve it, for it is a treasure, and therefore we must treasure it up in our hearts; and the rather because it will keep us. It keeps (as Chrysostom saith) the house where it is; […] treasures cannot secure themselves, but if we keep this treasure it will secure us. Discretion shall preserve thee, and understanding shall keep thee, Prov. 21. 11. thus you see the excellency of this spiritual wisdom. So much for the first thing considerable in the first branch, viz. the Depositum, the treasure.

In regard of its frailty and transitoriness.
