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.
