1Wherein is the fear of God the true wisdom?
- 1Quest.
11. The fear of God is Wisdom as it makes us careful about our spiritual accounts. Wisdom lies in nothing more than in keeping accounts exactly. The fear of God teacheth one to examine the state of his Soul ⟨p. 31⟩critically. O my Soul how is it with thee? dost thou gain or lose? is thy Faith in it's Infancy, being but newly laid to the breast of a Promise? or is it Grown to some stature? how is it? doth Grace prevail or Sin? Thus the fear of God makes us wisely balance our accounts, and see how matters stand between God and our Souls. Psalm 77.6. I commune with my own heart, and my spirit made diligent search.
