temporal_a possession_n whatsoever_o will_v comfortable_o maintain_v and_o support_v we_o in_o this_o life_n and_o this_o be_v express_v by_o a_o inheritance_n because_o that_o be_v account_v the_o

a_o inheritance_n a_o man_n rich_a towards_o god_n be_v safe_a and_o happy_a though_o he_o be_v poor_a in_o this_o world._n grace_n be_v a_o good_a treasure_n in_o the_o heart_n though_o god_n do_v cut_v we_o short_a in_o thing_n that_o be_v without_o which_o concern_v the_o body_n it_o be_v not_o absolute_o and_o indispensible_o necessary_a to_o our_o main_a and_o principal_a blessedness_n 30.8_o prov._n 30.8_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v feed_v with_o food_n convenient_a for_o we_o if_o we_o have_v necessary_a food_n that_o will_v suffice_v though_o it_o conduce_v very_o much_o to_o our_o present_n well_o be_v 2._o the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o wisdom_n and_o a_o inheritance_n be_v equal_o good_a the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o design_n to_o set_v these_o two_o upon_o one_o level_n for_o a_o inheritance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o wisdom_n but_o wisdom_n ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o the_o large_a inheritance_n in_o the_o world._n my_o fruit_n be_v better_a than_o gold_n 8.19_o prov._n 8.19_o yea_o than_o fine_a gold_n and_o my_o revenue_n than_o choice_a silver_n solomon_n put_v they_o in_o the_o balance_n together_o and_o show_v we_o which_o weigh_v most_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o text._n wisdom_n be_v a_o defence_n and_o money_n be_v a_o defence_n but_o the_o excellency_n of_o knowledge_n be_v that_o it_o give_v life_n to_o they_o that_o have_v it_o 12._o verse_n 12._o 3._o therefore_o the_o scope_n and_o sense_n of_o this_o passage_n be_v that_o when_o wisdom_n be_v join_v with_o a_o inheritance_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o a_o inheritance_n with_o wisdom_n by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n it_o be_v best_o for_o the_o person_n himself_o and_o for_o all_o those_o who_o be_v within_o his_o influence_n and_o reach_n they_o
