Fourthly, As they are to Preach the Lord Jesus Christ humbly, so they are to Preach him Wisely. In Prov. 11. 30. He that winneth souls, is wise; and indeed the greatest wisdom in the world is requisite to the winning of souls to 1Christ. He that wins souls, or he that catcheth souls, as the Fowler doth Birds (as the Hebrew word imports) or Fishermen Fishes, he is wise. There is a holy and a heavenly craft required in the winning of souls to Christ, 2 Cor. 12. 16. Nevertheless being crafty (saith the Apostle) I caught 2you with guile. He speaks of a holy and heavenly craft.
