To draw near to God, is our wisdom. 1The price of Wisdom is above Rubies, Job. 28. 18. No Jewel we wear doth so adorn us as wisdom; and wherein is our wisdom seen more than in our appropinquation to God? 'Tis judged wisdom to keep in with great men, Prov. 19. 6.

But it is wisdom to draw near to God, he is the sweetest friend, and the sorest enemy.
