There is Wisdom in these things; and the Women which hav• had it, are therefore to be Praised. But, ⟨image ?⟩the Apostle said, yet I show unto you a more Excellent way; so I say, There is a greater Wisdom than all of this It is the Assertion with which the Wise Man Begins the Book of Wisdom, in Prov. 1.7 The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Knowledge. Or as the Words of his Blessed Father, whom he much Imitated in his Expressions, were, The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom. Or, as it may be read, The chief part of it. Here then, even in, The Fear of God, is, the Prima Sapientia, the chief, prime, grand Wisdom of a Reasonable Creature. 'Tis a true saying, Non qui multa, sed qui Fructuosa scit, sapit; Wisdom lies not so much in the Knowledge of many Things, as in the Knowledge of Useful Ones. N•w this is the Wisdom of a Woman that has▪ The Fear of God; she ha• the Science that will carry her safe thro' all the Storms, all the Harms, all the Temptations of this world, unto the Haven of H•aven at the Last; she has the Wisdom, to Consider her Latter End, and she is, Wise unto Salvation. That admirable Woman, Olympia Falvia Morata had very great Accomplishments; but that which most Accomplished her, was, her Embracing of true Religion with all manner of Persecution for it; so that she could say, The World is now become contemptible to me. 'Twas this alone which Enabled her, when she lay a dying, at near thirty years of Age, •o see Heaven open for, her and say to her Excellent Husband, I am now full of Joy, and Sir, I know you now no more! This then is the Praise that belongs unto such a Woman; It is noted unto the Praise of Abigail, She was […] ⟨image ?⟩Woman of a good Understanding, and she was of • Beautiful Countenance. As for the Woman, •hat has a Beautiful Countenance wi•h••t a Good Understanding, […] for her that is, Fair and Foolish, you can find where she is compared unto, A Swine with a Jewel in her Sa••t. But if a Woman have the, Fear of God, you now see, that whether she have a Beautiful Countenance, or no, yet she has a Good Understanding. And therefore such a Woman shall be Praised among those Ladies whose Beautiful Aspect is particularly mentioned in the Scripture;
