than_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o resist_v this_o grow_a evil_n for_o this_o purpose_n i_o have_v enlarge_v that_o part_n of_o the_o discourse_n which_o be_v more_o immediate_o level_v against_o

of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o to_o depart_v from_o evil_n that_o be_v understanding_n in_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o chapter_n job_n discourse_v of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o secret_a and_o unaccountable_a operation_n of_o natural_a cause_n and_o of_o the_o unsearchable_a perfection_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o inquire_v at_o the_o 12_o verse_n where_o this_o wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v find_v he_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o any_o of_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n the_o depth_n say_v it_o be_v not_o in_o i_o and_o the_o sea_n say_v it_o be_v not_o in_o i_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o he_o put_v the_o question_n again_o ver_fw-la 20._o whence_o then_o come_v wisdom_n

etc._n etc._n the_o result_n of_o which_o discourse_n be_v that_o a_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o nature_n be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v find_v but_o in_o the_o author_n of_o it_o no_o less_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n then_o that_o which_o make_v the_o world_n and_o contrive_v this_o vast_a and_o regular_a frame_n of_o nature_n can_v thorough_o understand_v the_o philosophy_n of_o it_o and_o give_v a_o perfect_a account_n of_o all_o its_o motion_n and_o operation_n but_o there_o be_v a_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n which_o be_v very_o proper_a to_o man_n and_o lie_v level_a to_o a_o humane_a understanding_n which_o be_v suit_v and_o accommodate_v to_o the_o end_n and_o use_n and_o necessity_n of_o man_n and_o that_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o that_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o he_o the_o wisdom_n of_o please_a god_n by_o do_v what_o he_o command_v and_o avoid_v what_o he_o forbid_v this_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n may_v be_v attain_v by_o man_n and_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v he_o happy_a and_o unto_o man_n he_o say_v behold_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o to_o depart_v from_o evil_n be_v understanding_n which_o word_n consist_v of_o two_o proposition_n which_o be_v not_o distinct_a in_o sense_n but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n various_o express_v for_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n be_v synonymous_n word_n here_o and_o though_o sometime_o they_o have_v different_a notion_n yet_o in_o the_o poetical_a book_n of_o scripture_n they_o be_v most_o frequent_o use_v as_o word_n equivalent_a and_o do_v both_o of_o they_o indifferent_o signify_v either_o a_o speculative_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n or_o a_o practical_a skill_n about_o they_o according_a to_o the_o exigency_n of_o the_o matter_n or_o thing_n speak_v of_o and_o so_o likewise_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o departure_n from_o evil_n be_v phrase_n of_o a_o very_a near_o sense_n and_o like_o importance_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v they_o several_a time_n put_v together_o in_o scripture_n prov._n 3._o 7._o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o depart_v from_o evil_n prov._n 16._o 6._o by_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o

another_o now_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o depart_v from_o evil_n be_v phrase_n which_o the_o scripture_n use_v in_o a_o very_a great_a latitude_n to_o express_v to_o we_o the_o sum_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o whole_a of_o our_o duty_n and_o because_o the_o large_a acceptation_n of_o these_o phrase_n be_v to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o my_o subsequent_a discourse_n i_o shall_v for_o the_o further_o clear_v of_o this_o matter_n endeavour_v to_o show_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v very_o usual_a in_o the_o language_n of_o scripture_n to_o express_v the_o whole_a of_o religion_n by_o these_o and_o such_o like_a phrase_n 2._o the_o particular_a fitness_n of_o these_o two_o phrase_n to_o describe_v religion_n by_o i._o it_o be_v very_o usual_a in_o the_o language_n of_o scripture_n to_o express_v the_o whole_a of_o religion_n by_o some_o eminent_a principle_n or_o part_n of_o religion_n the_o great_a principle_n of_o religion_n be_v knowledge_n faith_n remembrance_n love_n and_o fear_n by_o all_o which_o the_o scripture_n use_v to_o express_v the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n by_o the_o knowledge_n remembrance_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n religion_n be_v call_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a prov._n 30._o 3._o and_o wicked_a man_n be_v describe_v to_o be_v such_o as_o know_v not_o god_n so_o likewise_o by_o
