Excerpt from Thoughts on the Study of the Holy Gospels "O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with Thy word, ... "Give me wisdom, that sitteth by Thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children: "For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if Thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded: ... "O send her out of Thy holy heavens, and from the throne of Thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto Thee. "For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power. "So shall my works be acceptable ... "For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain. "For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthly tabernacle weigheth down the mind, that museth upon many things. "And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us; but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out? "And Thy counsel who hath known, except Thou give wisdom, and send Thy Holy Spirit from above?" The Wisdom of Solomon.
