lyfe hath apered saith he and we haue sene and beare witnes shew vnto you lyfe that is euerlastynge whiche was withe the father hath now apered also vnto vs. And y e tidyngs which we haue heard of him as Ihon saith declare we vnto you that ye may haue felowship with vs oure felowshyp may be with the father and with his sonne Iesus Christe c. ¶ For as moche as it hathe pleased the eternall god which

grounded and stablished vpon the sure rocke of Gods woorde and promise as it is written Abraham beleued God in hys promise and none opinion of his own imaginacion it was counted to hym for righteousnes but yf your faith bee without the word then is it carnall and fleshely beyng builte vpon naturall reason and therefore it is vayne and of no valure for trewe faithe is accoumpanyed with godly loue who hath the wiisdome of god for her gouernour she teacheth her chyldren as a right good nourice knowledge and nurture and leadeth them safely in the waye of lyfe and with doctrine she purgeth their hertes from all filthe and corruption euē as god himselfe is pure She shyneth from and out of the bosome of y e highest for her clearenes doth farre excede the brightnes of the sōne

saith shee and not syluer and knowledge more then fyne golde for wysedome is more worth then preciouse stones yea all the thynges that thou canst desyre are not to be compared vnto it c. ¶ Wherefore if ye wyll seeke wisdome and dwell with her shee will make you the verye frendes of god for the highest hath geuen her a commaundemente and he that made herre hath apointed her a tabernacle saying Let thy dwellynge be in Iacob thyne inheritaunce in Israel rote thy selfe among my chosen for the congregation of the rightuouse are the Children of wisedome and the lorde dwelleth amonge them in hys holye Sinay An vtter enemye to wisdome is the frowarde synner for he hateth to be refourmed and because he will not refuse thynges which he knoweth to be euyll he can come in no good way brethern consider this most excellent benefite of god dayly offered vnto you Refuse not his worde which teacheth you al wisdom Come to her brokes drinke of her cūduite for wisdom hath cast out floudes I am
