Indeed when we observe what precedeth, we may well infer that which followeth, wisdome being from above, must needs be pure; such as is the cause, such is the effect; It is impossible the least darknesse should proceed from the Father of lights, and as no unclean thing can ascend thither, so neither can it descend thence. It is observable in nature, that all things as they are higher, so they are purer, the water then the earth, the aire then the water, the fire then the aire, the stars then the fire; how pure then must wisdome needs be which is from above the Stars, even from the highest Heavens! |
