man_n that_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a 1_o instrument_n by_o which_o we_o may_v help_v our_o neighbour_n be_v true_a wisdom_n but_o to_o obtain_v this_o what_o be_v more_o profitable_a than_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n then_o a_o approve_a life_n then_o the_o daily_a use_n and_o experience_n of_o virtue_n or_o the_o prayer_n and_o the_o continual_a meditation_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n what_o be_v so_o frequent_a and_o common_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o fullness_n of_o wisdom_n be_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n yea_o without_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o obtain_v this_o virtue_n which_o saint_n augustine_n plain_o testify_v in_o these_o word_n we_o sermon_n find_v many_o most_o negligent_a and_o careless_a of_o righteousness_n but_o most_o greedy_a and_o desirous_a of_o wisdom_n the_o divine_a scripture_n do_v teach_v these_o that_o they_o can_v attain_v that_o they_o desire_v but_o by_o keep_v and_o preserve_v that_o they_o neglect_v o_o my_o son_n say_v the_o divine_a writ_n if_o thou_o desire_v wisdom_n preserve_v righteousness_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v show_v she_o unto_o thou_o wisdom_n be_v a_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o a_o principal_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o it_o be_v soon_o and_o more_o easy_o get_v by_o tear_n then_o by_o disputation_n by_o prayer_n then_o by_o alteration_n right_o therefore_o say_v augustine_n they_o that_o have_v learn_v apostle_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v meek_a and_o humble_a in_o heart_n do_v profit_n more_o by_o meditate_v and_o pray_v then_o by_o read_v &_o hear_v but_o if_o wisdom_n be_v a_o principal_a instrument_n to_o help_v other_o why_o shall_v not_o also_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o it_o be_v obtain_v be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o which_o we_o have_v now_o speak_v the_o second_o reason_n be_v to_o convert_v soul_n unto_o god_n be_v a_o work_n 2_o marvelous_a excellent_a and_o supernatural_a for_o by_o this_o their_o corrupt_a nature_n that_o live_v wicked_o be_v subdue_v and_o their_o evil_a custom_n which_o be_v little_o weak_a than_o nature_n and_o that_o which_o be_v more_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o possess_v and_o most_o strong_o hold_v captive_a their_o heart_n be_v overcome_v and_o conquer_v that_o such_o power_n shall_v be_v oppress_v &_o overthrow_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o great_a power_n &_o strength_n shall_v be_v present_a which_o be_v not_o find_v upon_o the_o earth_n but_o in_o heaven_n which_o be_v not_o so_o well_o get_v by_o study_n labour_n &_o speculation_n as_o by_o tear_n sigh_n &_o the_o course_n of_o a_o good_a life_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o that_o be_v convert_v unto_o god_n be_v no_o less_o the_o son_n of_o tear_n then_o of_o word_n so_o that_o prayer_n have_v no_o lesser_a part_n in_o the_o conversion_n than_o the_o fine_a oration_n of_o a_o most_o eloquent_a orator_n wherefore_o as_o the_o prayer_n of_o moses_n rather_o procure_v the_o victory_n against_o amalech_n than_o all_o the_o 17._o sword_n that_o be_v draw_v so_o also_o we_o must_v suppose_v and_o believe_v that_o in_o this_o victory_n the_o prayer_n sigh_n and_o groan_n of_o a_o true_a preacher_n have_v no_o lesser_a part_n than_o all_o the_o other_o voice_n and_o word_n albeit_o they_o be_v ingenious_a acute_a and_o eloquent_a the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o as_o experience_n witness_v man_n do_v 3_o offend_v more_o gross_o and_o foul_o by_o the_o corruption_n of_o their_o own_o affection_n and_o passion_n then_o by_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o whosoever_o appli_v himself_o to_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v other_o and_o to_o reform_v their_o affection_n he_o must_v rather_o move_v their_o will_n they_o instruct_v their_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o master_n of_o eloquence_n do_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v not_o thyself_o a_o more_o
