Solomon in teaching the people, he sought out, and weighed, and set in order words of weight and delight, words of uprightness and truth.
SOlomon in teaching the people, he sought out, and weighed, and set in order words of weight and delight, words of uprightnesse and truth.
Solomon, though a wise man, (none like him;) yea, though immediately inspired by the Holy Ghost; yet he set all his Logic awork in teachings and writings to the people. For whereas there be three acts or exercises of Logic, 1 Invention; 2 Judgement; 3 Method; and in these three the whole work of Logic is accomplished; Solomon set all these a work to find out a fit matter and words for the instruction of the people. Investigavit, he sought out, is the work of invention; libravit, trutinavit, he weighed (as in a balance) is the work of judgement. He set in order, is the work of method.
