James. From whence come Wars and Fighting among Men? Come they not hence, even of their Lusts, that war in their Members? Ye lust, and have not, ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain, &c. Jam. 4.1. If you have bitter Envyings and Strife in your Hearts, glory not, lie not against the Truth; (mark that) this Wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish, Jam. 3.14.15.
O blessed St. James, thou hast cleared me, ford, True Godliness, am the Truth, whosoever receives me, receives the Truth, the Doctrine of Truth, and the Truth of Grace. But pray St James go on.
James. Where envying and strife is, there is confusion, and every evil work. But the Wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without wrangling, and without hypocrisy.
