to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o walk_v after_o his_o commandment_n it_o be_v that_o wisdom_n which_o moses_n teach_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o same_o place_n 4._o deut._n 4._o say_v behold_v i_o have_v teach_v you_o ordinance_n and_o law_n as_o the_o lord_n my_o god_n command_v i_o etc._n etc._n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o solomon_n need_v not_o to_o have_v write_v see_v moses_n have_v before_o already_o write_v and_o that_o he_o teach_v no_o other_o wisdom_n but_o that_o which_o moses_n teach_v it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o that_o which_o moses_n have_v brief_o and_o obscure_o teach_v for_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o people_n solomon_n dilate_v and_o amplifi_v and_o therein_o he_o serve_v as_o a_o interpreter_n to_o moses_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v again_o if_o solomon_n do_v teach_v no_o other_o wisdom_n than_o that_o which_o moses_n teach_v that_o he_o teach_v not_o jesus_n christ_n who_o of_o god_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o 10._o 1._o cor._n 1._o 10._o therefore_o his_o doctrine_n appertain_v nothing_o unto_o we_o which_o shall_v regard_v to_o know_v nothing_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_a i_o answer_v that_o moses_n have_v speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o you_o have_v believe_v 24._o john_n 5._o 46._o gal._n 3._o 24._o moses_n you_o will_v also_o have_v believe_v i_o the_o law_n be_v our_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n etc._n etc._n but_o solomon_n teach_v not_o only_o the_o law_n but_o also_o faith_n and_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o diverse_a promise_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o he_o teach_v we_o jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o also_o he_o be_v a_o figure_n for_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o in_o jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o proverbe_n 20._o 2._o cor._n 1._o 20._o of_o solomon_n let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o he_o will_v lead_v we_o only_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n

instruction_n whereby_o we_o shall_v know_v what_o to_o do_v and_o what_o to_o eschew_v for_o to_o live_v in_o this_o present_a world_n sober_o righteous_o and_o religious_o the_o which_o instruction_n be_v not_o only_o in_o word_n but_o also_o in_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o solomon_n be_v on_o earth_n speak_v not_o 1._o deut._n 8._o 1._o earthly_a but_o heavenly_a for_o we_o can_v have_v no_o instruction_n unless_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o from_o heaven_n as_o moses_n do_v show_v it_o very_o well_o out_o of_o heaven_n he_o make_v thou_o hear_v his_o voice_n to_o instruct_v thou_o etc._n etc._n 46._o deut._n 4._o 46._o wherefore_o if_o we_o be_v give_v to_o earthly_a and_o worldly_a thing_n and_o persevere_v therein_o we_o can_v receive_v instruction_n it_o be_v then_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o from_o the_o desire_n of_o worldly_a thing_n and_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o god_n grace_n for_o s._n paul_n say_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o 11._o tit._n 2._o 11._o bring_v salvation_n unto_o all_o man_n have_v appear_v and_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n three_o he_o promise_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v knowledge_n and_o

8._o 1._o john_n ●_o ●_o sure_a that_o we_o know_v he_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n this_o knowledge_n ought_v to_o be_v great_o esteem_v of_o we_o as_o jeremie_n admonish_v we_o thereto_o let_v not_o the_o wise_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o wisdom_n etc._n etc._n but_o let_v he_o that_o glori_v glory_n in_o this_o that_o he_o understand_v and_o 23._o jer._n 9_o 23._o know_v i_o through_o this_o knowledge_n we_o differ_v from_o brute_n beast_n we_o ought_v then_o to_o give_v good_a heed_n to_o these_o say_n of_o the_o wise_a 9_o psal_n 32._o 9_o man_n four_o he_o promise_v we_o

no_o man_n to_o do_v they_o wrong_n and_o to_o govern_v we_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o no_o man_n find_v in_o we_o any_o thing_n worthy_a of_o reproof_n or_o blame_n we_o learn_v then_o by_o these_o
