In the 1. Epistle also to the Corinthians, S. Paul writing in general to all the inhabitants of that city, saith: Brethren, 1be you not children in wit and understanding, but as concerning maliciousness, be you children. In wit I would have you perfect: and why? Verily for none other cause, but that we should (as he writeth unto the Hebrews) have discretion to judge the good from ill, and the ill from the good, and so to be like men differing from beasts:2 according to the saying of the prophet: See that ye be not like unto an horse or a mule which lack understanding. And we should pray with him in another Psalm: O Lord teach me the way that I should walk in, 3for I lift up my soul unto thee.

And we should pray with him in another Psalme: O Lord teach me the way that I should walke in, 3for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.
