That it is a very sinful and vain thing for any man so to
glory in his own wisdom, strength, or wealth, as to place
his trust and confidence in either or all of them.
JER. ix. 23, 24.
Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wis-
dom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not
the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth
glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I
am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight,
saith the Lord.... P. 429.
