To maintain a fault known is a double fault.

The word of God teacheth lowliness of mind; it teacheth us to know ourselves.

As the body dieth when the soul departeth, so the soul of man dieth, when it hath not the knowledge of God.

But the word of the Gospel is not as the word of an earthly prince.

Human knowledge is dark and uncertain; philosophy is dark, astrology is dark, and geometry is dark.

Among all his creatures in heaven or earth, God hath not made any like unto the sun in the firmament, the beams whereof are beautiful and pleasant, and do give comfort in all places to all things.

The word of God is full of sad and grave counsel, full of the knowledge of God, of examples of virtues, and of correction of vices, of the end of this life, and of the life to come.
