Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)
Thorns will not prick of themselves, but when they are grasped in a man’s hand they prick deep. So this world and the things thereof are all good, and were all made of God for the benefit of his creature, did not our immoderate affection make them hurtful, which indeed embitters every sweet unto us.
