in_o the_o earth_n i._o what_o we_o be_v not_o to_o glory_v in_o the_o text_n instance_v in_o three_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o great_a idol_n of_o mankind_n and_o in_o which_o they_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o pride_n themselves_o and_o to_o place_v their_o confidence_n namely_o wisdom_n and_o may_v and_o riches_n i_o shall_v consider_v these_o several_o and_o show_v how_o little_a reason_n there_o be_v to_o glory_n in_o any_o of_o they_o 1._o let_v not_o the_o wise_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o wisdom_n this_o may_v comprehend_v both_o human_a knowledge_n and_o likewise_o prudence_n in_o the_o management_n of_o affair_n we_o will_v suppose_v both_o these_o to_o be_v intend_v here_o by_o the_o name_n of_o wisdom_n let_v not_o the_o wise_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o wisdom_n that_o be_v neither_o in_o the_o largeness_n and_o compass_n of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n nor_o in_o his_o skill_n and_o dexterity_n in_o the_o contrivance_n and_o conduct_n of_o human_a affair_n and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o human_a knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n be_v very_o imperfect_a second_o because_o when_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n be_v with_o much_o difficulty_n in_o any_o competent_a measure_n attain_v how_o easy_o be_v they_o lose_v first_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o human_a knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n be_v very_o imperfect_a our_o ignorance_n do_v vast_o exceed_v our_o knowledge_n at_o the_o best_a wisdom_n in_o any_o tolerable_a degree_n be_v difficult_a to_o be_v attain_v but_o perfection_n in_o it_o utter_o to_o be_v despair_v of_o where_o be_v there_o to_o be_v find_v so_o strong_a and_o sound_a a_o head_n as_o have_v no_o soft_a place_n so_o perfect_a so_o clear_a a_o understanding_n as_o have_v no_o flaw_n no_o dark_a water_n in_o it_o how_o hard_o a_o matter_n be_v it_o to_o be_v true_o wise_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v so_o many_o pretender_n to_o wisdom_n as_o will_v almost_o tempt_v a_o man_n to_o think_v that_o nothing_o be_v easy_a man_n do_v frequent_o murmur_v and_o repine_v at_o the_o unequal_a distribution_n of_o other_o thing_n as_o of_o health_n and_o strength_n of_o power_n and_o riches_n but_o if_o we_o will_v trust_v the_o judgement_n of_o most_o man_n concern_v themselves_o nothing_o be_v more_o equal_o share_v among_o mankind_n than_o a_o good_a degree_n of_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n many_o will_v grant_v other_o to_o be_v superior_a to_o they_o in_o other_o gift_n of_o nature_n as_o in_o bodily_a strength_n and_o stature_n and_o in_o the_o gift_n of_o fortune_n as_o in_o riches_n and_o honour_n because_o the_o difference_n between_o one_o man_n and_o another_o in_o these_o quality_n be_v many_o time_n so_o gross_a and_o palpable_a that_o no_o body_n have_v the_o face_n to_o deny_v it_o but_o very_o few_o in_o comparison_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o mere_a compliment_n and_o civility_n will_v yield_v other_o to_o be_v wise_a than_o themselves_o and_o yet_o the_o difference_n in_o this_o also_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n very_o visible_a to_o every_o body_n but_o themselves_o so_o that_o true_a wisdom_n be_v a_o thing_n very_o extraordinary_a happy_a be_v they_o that_o have_v it_o and_o next_o to_o they_o not_o those_o many_o that_o think_v they_o have_v it_o but_o those_o few_o that_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o own_o defect_n and_o imperfection_n and_o know_v that_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o among_o all_o the_o kind_n of_o wisdom_n none_o be_v more_o nice_a and_o difficult_a and_o meet_v with_o more_o frequent_a disappointment_n than_o that_o which_o man_n be_v most_o apt_a to_o pride_n themselves_o in_o i_o mean_v political_a wisdom_n and_o prudence_n because_o it_o depend_v upon_o so_o many_o contingent_a cause_n any_o one_o of_o which_o fail_v the_o best_a lay_v design_n break_v and_o fall_v in_o piece_n it_o depend_v upon_o the_o uncertain_a will_n and_o fickle_a humour_n the_o mistake_a and_o mutable_a interest_n of_o man_n which_o be_v perpetual_o shift_v from_o one_o point_n to_o another_o so_o that_o no_o body_n know_v where_o to_o find_v they_o beside_o a_o unaccountable_a mixture_n of_o that_o which_o the_o heathen_a call_v fortune_n but_o we_o christian_n by_o its_o true_a name_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n which_o do_v frequent_o interpose_v in_o human_a affair_n and_o love_v to_o confound_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o to_o turn_v their_o counsel_n into_o foolishness_n of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o most_o remarkable_a example_n in_o achitophel_n of_o who_o wisdom_n the_o scripture_n give_v this_o extraordinary_a testimony_n that_o the_o counsel_n which_o he_o counsel_v in_o those_o day_n be_v as_o if_o one_o have_v inquire_v at_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n such_o be_v all_o the_o counsel_n of_o achitophel_n both_o with_o david_n and_o with_o absalon_n it_o seem_v he_o give_v very_o good_a counsel_n also_o to_o absalon_n and_o because_o he_o will_v not_o follow_v it_o be_v discontent_v to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o himself_o and_o now_o who_o will_v pride_n himself_o in_o be_v so_o very_o wise_a as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o give_v the_o best_a counsel_n in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o so_o very_o weak_a as_o to_o make_v away_o himself_o because_o he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v be_v not_o wise_a enough_o to_o take_v it_o the_o like_a miscarriage_n often_o happen_v in_o point_n of_o military_a skill_n and_o prudence_n a_o great_a prince_n or_o general_n be_v sometime_o so_o very_o cautious_a and_o wary_a that_o nothing_o can_v provoke_v he_o to_o a_o battle_n and_o then_o at_o another_o time_n and_o perhaps_o in_o another_o element_n so_o rash_a and_o wilful_a that_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v he_o from_o fight_v and_o be_v beat_v as_o if_o the_o two_o element_n make_v the_o difference_n and_o caution_n be_v great_a wisdom_n at_o land_n and_o confidence_n and_o
