first_o that_o if_o we_o will_v find_v wisdom_n we_o must_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o seek_v she_o they_o that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o touch_v the_o first_o moses_n find_v some_o fault_n with_o himself_o that_o for_o all_o he_o have_v hear_v &_o see_v and_o observe_v and_o be_v count_v wise_a yet_o he_o be_v new_a to_o begin_v and_o have_v

wisdom_n as_o if_o it_o be_v physic_n which_o do_v no_o good_a before_o it_o be_v apply_v and_o the_o part_n to_o apply_v it_o too_o be_v the_o heart_n where_o all_o man_n affection_n be_v to_o love_v it_o and_o cherish_v it_o like_o a_o kind_a hostess_n when_o the_o heart_n seek_v it_o findetha_n though_o it_o be_v bring_v unto_o she_o like_o abraham_n ram_n therefore_o god_n say_v they_o shall_v

with_o their_o heart_n therefore_o the_o way_n to_o get_v wisdom_n be_v to_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v your_o call_n and_o live_v to_o which_o you_o be_v bind_v prentice_n a_o man_n may_v apply_v his_o ear_n &_o his_o eye_n as_o many_o truant_n do_v to_o their_o book_n &_o yet_o never_o prove_v scholar_n but_o from_o that_o day_n which_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o apply_v his_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n he_o learn_v more_o in_o a_o month_n after_o than_o he_o do_v in_o a_o year_n before_o nay_o then_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life_n even_o as_o you_o see_v the_o

deceiver_n so_o if_o you_o can_v apply_v your_o heart_n as_o thorough_o to_o knowledge_n and_o goodness_n you_o may_v become_v like_o the_o apostle_n which_o teach_v you_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n show_v man_n the_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o wisdom_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o give_v thy_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n 10._o let_v wisdom_n enter_v into_o thy_o heart_n get_v wisdom_n keep_v wisdom_n 8._o embrace_v wisdom_n as_o though_o a_o man_n go_v a_o woo_n for_o wisdom_n wisdom_n be_v like_o god_n daughter_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o man_n that_o love_v she_o and_o sue_v for_o she_o and_o mean_v to_o set_v she_o at_o his_o heart_n thus_o we_o have_v learn_v how_o to_o apply_v knowledge_n that_o it_o may_v do_v we_o good_a not_o to_o our_o ear_n like_o they_o which_o hear_v sermon_n only_o nor_o to_o our_o tongue_n like_v they_o which_o make_v table_n talk_v of_o religion_n but_o to_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v say_v like_o the_o virgin_n 1._o my_o heart_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o heart_n will_v apply_v it_o to_o the_o ear_n 14_o and_o to_o the_o tongue_n as_o christ_n say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v the_o last_o point_n be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n moses_n commend_v not_o many_o book_n to_o make_v a_o

may_v run_v in_o his_o mind_n still_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n as_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o death_n so_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o

to_o spend_v it_o well_o 26._o like_o moses_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o he_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v but_o a_o season_n to_o live_v he_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o old_a man_n fast_o and_o watch_v and_o prepare_v themselves_o more_o than_o young_a because_o they_o think_v themselves_o near_o the_o door_n like_o old_a isaac_n which_o when_o he_o be_v blind_a for_o age_n say_v unto_o esau_n 2._o behold_v i_o be_o now_o old_a and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n that_o be_v because_o i_o be_o old_a i_o look_v to_o die_v short_o and_o therefore_o as_o esay_n teach_v ezechias_n 1_o to_o set_v all_o thing_n in_o order_n before_o he_o die_v so_o he_o call_v his_o elder_a son_n to_o who_o he_o think_v that_o the_o inheritance_n belong_v that_o he_o may_v bless_v he_o before_o he_o die_v this_o wisdom_n the_o father_n call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o call_v the_o best_a because_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremie_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n &_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o last_o he_o impute_v all_o to_o this_o 9_o she_o remember_v not_o her_o end_n so_o if_o i_o may_v judge_v why_o natural_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pomp_n why_o great_a man_n care_v
