He that is not a considering man, is a weak and a foolish man; every wise man is a considering man; and the more a man is versed in consideration, the more wise he is, and the wiser he grows. The wicked man is often called a fool in Scripture, and he deserves ⟨p. 715⟩no better a title; when he is called so, he is both served and called in his kind (Psal. 14.1.) The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. The thoughts of the heart are the sayings of the heart; and sin hath made a wicked man so much a fool, that as he knows not how to say any thing of God, which is honourable, with his tongue, so all that his heart can say, that is, think of God, is, that God is not; which as it is the highest blasphemy, so the deepest piece of folly and irrationality that ever was hatched in the heart of man.
