without_o exception_n and_o yet_o never_o empt_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a spring_n the_o stream_n of_o wisdom_n flow_v from_o this_o head_n be_v thence_o go_v out_o into_o all_o

we_o be_v to_o seek_v it_o 3_o how_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o seek_v wisdom_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o only_o by_o daily_a read_n &_o meditate_v therein_o which_o i_o forbear_v any_o further_a to_o commend_v to_o you_o because_o it_o be_v your_o profession_n &_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v your_o practice_n too_o yet_o thus_o much_o let_v i_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o which_o too_o

all_o our_o read_n and_o meditation_n will_v but_o perplex_v and_o trouble_v we_o if_o god_n do_v not_o prosper_v we_o with_o a_o blessing_n on_o it_o it_o be_v say_v of_o these_o man_n here_o in_o the_o text_n that_o when_o they_o seek_v to_o solomon_n they_o bring_v present_n o●_n gift_n with_o they_o 10.25_o 1_o king_n 10.25_o with_o they_o v._o 25._o and_o so_o must_v we_o seek_v unto_o the_o god_n of_o solomon_n with_o the_o gift_n of_o praise_n for_o what_o we_o have_v receive_v with_o the_o gift_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o prayer_n for_o what_o we_o want_v and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o seek_v and_o find_v the_o gift_n of_o wisdom_n which_o we_o desire_v wh●_n therefore_o thou_o take_v thy_o bible_n or_o any_o other_o good_a book_n in_o thy_o hand_n to_o seek_v wisdom_n in_o it_o say_v with_o david_n lord_n open_v thou_o my_o eye_n 119.18_o psal_n 119.18_o that_o i_o may_v see_v the_o wondrous_a work_n of_o thy_o law_n and_o then_o thou_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o thou_o shall_v behold_v the_o goodness_n of_o wisdom_n to_o thy_o great_a content_n especial_o if_o as_o solomon_n his_o son_n give_v the_o advice_n prov._n 4.20_o 4.20_o prov._n 4.20_o thou_o

the_o text_n may_v be_v a_o fit_a pattern_n to_o we_o for_o they_o seek_v to_o solomon_n not_o to_o reprove_v and_o correct_v he_o but_o to_o hear_v and_o be_v instruct_v by_o he_o which_o bring_v
