And every particular man as he looks for good by his Religion, is not to live by the rules of fleshly wisdom; but by the rules of Religion.
And every particular man as he looks for good by his Religion, is not to live by the rules of fleshly wisdome; but by the rules of Religion.
And here a man might deplore the misery of poor Religion above all other things, above all other Arts, and Trades: In other Arts and Trades he is accounted no body, that works not according to his Trade: and that hath not (besides some speculative skill, and rules in his head, that hath not) skill to work, he is accounted no body, but a talker except he doth: But in Religion men think it is enough to know: practise it goes under base names. Any common conscience, any common care, and obedience to the rules we must be saved by is reproached, and rejected. Religion will not do a man good, except he be ruled by it. Wherefore serves the rule but to bring things to it? But I will not stand on this point longer.
There is a necessity of wisdom. And this wisdom may be had; and this wisdom it leads not only to salvation, but it reacheth to the State, and it leads every man in his calling. Well, we may see (to touch that by the way) In the third place, True Wisdom toucheth Conversation.
