We should not be as meteors hanging in the air, speaking with hesitation, possibly it is so, peradventure it is true; but (as the Apostle directs the Colossians, Chap. 2.3.) We must labour to grow up unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding; as there is a full assurance of faith in believing, & of hope in waiting or expecting, so also of understanding in apprehending the things of God. We should be (in a sense) Masters of truth; and then ⟨p. 570⟩we are so indeed, when truth hath fully mastered us, and prevailed upon both our judgement and affections, and we are led captive by light to the love and obedience of it. We have cause to bewail those (much more have they cause to bewail themselves) who are but Sceptics or Questionists in Religion, never coming to a point, nor able (after a due making up of their thoughts) to say, Thus it is, and by this we will abide, as Elihu did in the then present case, delivering himself confidently, yea surely, or verily, verily, God will not do wickedly.
