Well then, let us often admire the Wisdom of God;1 ⟨p. 559⟩look up to the Heavens, and what do you find there? The work of a wise God. Jer. 10. 12. Look to the structure of all things round about you, and what offereth its self to your thoughts? by his wisdom he hath established the world. Jer. 10. 12. Look within you and you cannot choose but say, Oh God I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, Psal. 139. 14. Look into the Scriptures and consider the stupendous mysteries that are revealed there; of the Trinity in unity, God manifested in our flesh, a Virgin conceiving, Christ dying, and can you hold from crying out, Oh the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God? Rom. 11. 33. view these things again and again; we cannot take up all of God, in one, or many, or all our meditations.
