201

KNOWLEDGE.-Just notions will into good actions grow,

And to our reason we our virtues owe;

False judgments are the unhappy source of ill,
And blinded error draws the passive will.

To know one God, and know ourselves, is all,

We can true happiness or wisdom call.

READING.-Christian instructed. 3 Notes and
Queries, 240.

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
DANIEL, Chap. XII. Verse 4.

Beyond abstain

To ask; nor let thine own inventions hope
Things not reveal'd which the invisible King,
Only omniscient, hath suppress'd in night;-
Enough is left besides to search and know.
Knowledge is as food, and needs no less
Her temperance over appetite.
