What a mercy is it to have wisdom,
First, To know God in Christ, whom to know is eternal life.
Secondly, To know our selves lost, miserable and undone for ever without Christ.
Thirdly, To know the difference between good and evil, between light and darkness, truth and error, sound doctrine and damnable, right worship and superstitious or idolatrous.
Fourthly, To know our duty, what is incumbent upon us in this life. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way (Pro. 14.8.) where to walk, what to do, that he may keep tite and close to God, to know upon what bottom he is settled, and upon what ground he treads.
