Happy is the man Notwithstanding all his afflictions; that findeth wisdom Which supposes his diligent searching for it, expressed Proverbs 2:4. And the man that getteth Hebrew, יפיק, that draweth out, understanding Which expression implies two things: 1st, That man hath it not naturally in himself, but must have it from another, even from God and his word; 2d, That men should labour for it as those labour that dig and draw forth metals out of the earth. For the merchandise of it, &c. It is more necessary and advantageous, because it is so, not only for this short life, but also for the future and everlasting life, in which gold and silver bear no price. All the things thou canst desire are not to be compared to her For true worth and usefulness.
