104. He that leaves all things, and denies not himself, forsakes nothing; and he that denies himself, and sets not his heart on what he hath, forsakes his all, though he keep it all.
104. He that leaves all things, and denies not himselfe, forsakes nothing; and he that denies himselfe, and sets not his heart on what he hath, forsakes his all, though he keep it all.
105. The best way to enjoy ones will is to deny ones will; not to own our will, when our will doth not own Gods: and then to be sure, he may do what he will, that will do but what he may.
105. The best way to enjoy ones wil is to deny ones wil; not to own our wil, when our wil doth not own Gods: and then to be sure, he may doe what he wil, that wil doe but what he may.
106. Many men know the good they are to do, but do not do the good they know, to them it is sin. ⟨p. 24⟩Jam. 4.17. others do they know not what; these may do good, but the good they do cannot be well done; others know not what they are to do, but this will not excuse them from doing; for every man should learn what he is to practice, and then practice what he hath learnt. Practice without knowledge is like Leah fruitful, but blear-eyed; and knowledge without practice is like Rachel fair, but barren; when Rachels face, and Leahs womb, when knowledge and practice meet in the same person, then happy is he.
