When any speak reason, and hold out truth, they are to be heard.
When any speake reason, and hold out truth, they are to be heard.
No man should stop his ear with a prejudice to the person. He that speaks truth, deserves to be heard: though (as Elihu) he be a young man, or inferior to many in age, yet he is to be heard, though inferior to many in power and experience, yet he is to be heard; (Eccle: 4.13.) Better is a poor and wise child, then an old and foolish King that will not be admonished. And better is a poor and wise child, then an old man that can give no admonition. As that man is in a sad condition, whether king or subject, that will not be admonished, so that man, be he never so ancient, is not much to be regarded, that is not able to give admonition. But though both discreet young men, and discreet poor men are to be heard when they speak truth and reason, yet that of Solomon (Eccle: 9.16.) is too often verified; The poor mans wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. Most conclude. if a man be poor, his counsel is so too, and if he be young, how can he be a counsellor? yet, hear me (saith Elihu) ⟨p. 72⟩1I also will show mine opinion, or my knowledge.
