Lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5. Be not wise in your own conceits. Romans 12:16. Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction; she is hard at hand to find. Behold with your eyes, how that I have had but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest. Sirach 41. 26-27. For the wisdom of this world, is foolishness with God. 1 Corinthians 3:19.

Whosoever will do the will of the Lord, and is not wise in his own conceit, avoiding vain curiosity, and praying earnestly, shall certainly know the counsels and will of God. John 8:17. But he must depend more upon the word of God, than his own feeling; since our own spirit often mixes with spiritual sensations, and tempts us to lusts, fear, presumption, and pride. Many trust even to their scandalous whims and fancies, as if all were from our Saviour.

O Lord, grant that I may be always jealous over myself, go in and out with prayer, and not err in any thing to the hurt of my soul.

Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord,
Blest is the man that hears my word,
Keeps daily watch before my gates,
And at my feet for mercy waits.

The soul that seeks me, shall obtain
Immortal wealth and heavenly gain;
Immortal life is his reward,
Life, and the favour of the Lord.

But the vile wretch that flies from me,
Doth his own soul an injury:
Fools, that against my grace rebel,
Seek death, and love the road to hell.
