8 God is a God of infinite Wisdom, therefore when we come to worship God, let us be ashamed of our folly: When thou comest to have to deal with God, look upon him as a God of infinite Wisdom, and I say be thou ashamed of thy folly then, and do thou exercise the grace of wisdom too when thou comest to God; that is, by propounding right ends (of which we spake before) That is one part of wisdom to have right ends, and right means towards those ends, so that the meditation of the wisdom of God when we come to worship him will further us to Sanctify his Name.

And further; This is to Sanctify Gods Wisdom, when thou comest into Gods presence, in thy greatest straights, deny thy own wisdom, come with a resolution to be guided by the wisdom of God, in this manner, Lord, I know not how to order my steps, there is much folly and vanity in my heart, but thou art a God of infinite wisdom, I come to thee for direction, and I profess here, I am willing to give up my whole Soul to be guided by thy wisdom. If every time we come to worship God we came thus, Oh Lord whatsoever our thoughts have been heretofore, yet if thou shalt but reveal thy mind to us, we will hearken to thee, Lord, we believe that thy Wisdom it is thy Self, and therefore we profess to give up our selves to thy Wisdom. Now this is to Sanctify the Name of God.
