2. Ply the throne of grace with unceasing prayers,1 that God would enlighten thy mind in the knowledge of his will. If any man lack wisdom or knowledge, let him ask it of God who giveth liberally and upbraideth not, ⟨image 17⟩Jam. 1.5. Entreat him to open thine eyes that thou mayst see the wonderful things contained in his law, Psal. 119.18. If thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasure, then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God; For the Lord giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding, Prov. 2.3, 4, 5, 6.
