Here are two things to be wondered at:--1. A wise man not satisfied
with his wisdom, but still seeking the increase of it; the more he has
the more he would have: The heart of him that has understanding,
rejoices so in the knowledge it has attained to that it is still
coveting more, and in the use of the means of knowledge is still
labouring for more, growing in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ.
Si dixisti, Sufficit, periisti--If you say, I have enough, you are
undone. 2. A fool well satisfied with his folly and not seeking the
cure of it. While a good man hungers after the solid satisfactions of
grace, a carnal mind feasts on the gratifications of appetite and
fancy. Vain mirth and sensual pleasures are its delight, and with these
it can rest contented, flattering itself in these foolish ways.
