Reason 1 For 1. there is no true wisdom but in it.^d Timor Domini principium sapientiae: The Fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom; saith Solomon. Yea, Timor Domini caput, or praecipuum sapientiae; The Fear of God is the chief and principal point of Wisdom; saith both^f David, & the same^g Solomon. And Job long before either of them,^{e h}Timor Domini est sapientia ipsa: The Feare of God is wisdom, even wisdom it self. No true wisdom without it, no true wisdom but in it. To be taught our Children therefore, if we would have them wise, if we would not have them fools and idiots, as they must needs be without it.
