and_o pass_v out_o at_o the_o other_o make_v no_o stay_n at_o all_o because_o it_o never_o have_v any_o good_a entertainment_n in_o the_o affection_n within_o and_o this_o namely_o our_o wisdom_n be_v

unto_o the_o get_v of_o it_o the_o most_o considerable_a point_n in_o our_o wisdom_n the_o text_n refer_v we_o for_o this_o purpose_n unto_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n for_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o wisdom_n which_o make_v solomon_n so_o famous_a be_v that_o which_o god_n have_v put_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o there_o he_o lay_v it_o up_o and_o keep_v it_o particular_a 3_o which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o his_o heart_n that_o be_v which_o he_o have_v full_o possess_v his_o understanding_n with_o and_o whereunto_o he_o have_v also_o incline_v his_o will_n and_o affection_n to_o lay_v hold_v on_o and_o delight_n in_o it_o for_o that_o be_v indeed_o to_o have_v wisdom_n in_o the_o heart_n even_o thorough_o to_o know_v and_o hearty_o to_o embrace_n and_o love_v it_o and_o doubtless_o if_o ever_o we_o think_v to_o keep_v and_o use_v this_o gift_n with_o content_a to_o ourselves_o or_o benefit_n to_o other_o we_o must_v there_o in_o the_o heart_n treasure_n up_o the_o wisdom_n which_o god_n do_v give_v unto_o we_o wherefore_o when_o solomon_n persuade_v his_o son_n that_o be_v every_o obedient_a learner_n to_o receive_v instruction_n he_o bid_v he_o to_o give_v he_o his_o heart_n too_o prov._n 23.26_o 23.26_o prov._n 23.26_o to_o devote_v his_o affection_n unto_o wisdom_n and_o to_o set_v his_o best_a love_n upon_o it_o which_o we_o must_v do_v if_o ever_o we_o will_v be_v true_o wise_a or_o true_a in_o heart_n for_o of_o this_o duty_n there_o be_v a_o double_a necessity_n the_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o wisdom_n which_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v and_o the_o other_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o heart_n wherein_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o wisdom_n this_o duty_n of_o apply_v the_o heart_n be_v needful_a both_o to_o the_o

heart_n we_o may_v daily_o receive_v instruction_n of_o wisdom_n and_o yet_o never_o be_v true_o wise_a and_o therefore_o solomon_n commend_v this_o for_o the_o right_a way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o will_v say_v he_o receive_v my_o word_n and_o incline_v thy_o ear_n and_o apply_v thy_o heart_n to_o understand_v then_o shall_v thou_o find_v out_o the_o
