There are none so wise, none so holy, but they may learn more wisdom, to be yet more holy.
There are none so wise, none so holy, but they may learne more wisdome, to be yet more holy.
'Tis out of question, he was never good, who thinks he can be no better; nor doth he yet know any thing aright, who saith he needs know no more. It is very sad (which is the case of many, 2 Tim. 3.7.) to be ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth: Yet they who (through grace) have been enabled to come to the knowledge of the truth must be ever learning; and the more any man doth know, the more he seeth his need, and the more willing he is, to be taught and know more. The fear of God that is wisdom, saith Job, (Chap. 28.28.) and to depart from evil, is understanding; and God testified of Job that he feared him, and eschewed evil, in the first verse of this Book; now if so wise, so good a man as Job might learn wisdom, let none think themselves too wise or too good to learn.
