If you work as unto the LORD, HE gave talens according to thier several abilities, Seek wisdom it is the principle thing, Study and show your self approved, learn the statutes (especially when afflicted), You will prove: that wisdom and knowledge are te stability of thy times and the strength of thy salvation.
