17 Praise|         foolish than preposterous wisdom, so nothing is more unadvised
18 Praise|         way to that so much famed wisdom, nor access to that fortress
19 Praise|        making towards the port of wisdom, but are in every exercise
20 Praise|         not the next neighbors to wisdom? among whom, to say nothing

32 Praise|          own wisdom;” attributing wisdom to God alone and leaving
33 Praise|          Let not man glory in his wisdom.” And why, good Jeremiah,
34 Praise|           have a man glory in his wisdom? Because, he’ll say, he
