Ignorance, especially in the wayes of God, condemned. [ 1791]
IT is related of Bion the Philosopher,* 1.1 That meeting with one of his Friends,
who was somewhat too curiously busied to have his Picture hewed out to the
life in a piece of stone, but over-carelesse in the study of Learning, he reproved
on this manner, Tu ut tibi similis lapis sieret, &c. Hast thou been carefull, that the
stone might be made like thee, and art thou not as careful, that thou by thy Ig∣norance* 1.2
be not like unto the stone. The like may be said of all the Sons of Vanity,
such as are stocks and stones, rather then Men, then Christian Men, that are care∣full
to fulfill their lusts, which will prove their destruction, and negligent to
be filled with divine Knowledg, which will bring them to eternal happinesse.
