Lect. 147.

Though our perseverance in the truth, be to be ascribed to the Lord alone, yet he wor∣keth it by meanes, and will have us to bee agents, in this work, our selves, p. 782, 783.
1 We must carefully sh••n all things where∣by we may be in danger to be corrupted, and drawne from the truth, viz. 1. We must shun the hearing and conferring with them, that are hereticks and seducers; and the reading of their books. We should not long to heare, what they can say for their errors, or against the truth, p. 784.
2 Wee must take heed of affecting the knowledge of intricate curious, and unprofi∣table points, p. 785. There is a desire of knowledge, which is commendable, and no Minister should mislike in his hearers, p. 786. Yet is there a desire of knowledge that is most dangerous, Ibid. 1 When wee desire to know more of Gods matters then hee hath pleased to reveale in his Word, Ibid. 2 When (neglecting other things) we seeke the know∣ledge of those high points onely, that are above our capacity, to understand and busie our selves, in matters of controversie, p. 787. 3 When wee desire knowledge, onely for knowledge sa••e, without respect to the use and profit, we may make of it, for our edifi∣cation in faith and holinesse, p 788.
