Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

And how are you to know experimentally either your own weakness or the power, wisdom, and grace of God, seasonably and sufficiently afforded, but by frequent and various trials? How are the graces of patience, resignation, meekness, and faith, to be discovered and increased, but by exercise?
