Every prudent [man] dealeth with knowledge
In order to get more, and with men of knowledge for the same
purpose; all he does is with knowledge and discretion; he does
not meddle with things, nor has he to do with persons, he knows
nothing of; he both acts and speaks with knowledge, cautiously,
wisely, considering well time, place, and persons: and every wise
and good man deals with evangelical knowledge, and studies to
grow in the knowledge of the Gospel, and the mysteries of it; in
the knowledge of Christ, and of God in Christ; the issue of which
is life eternal; but a fool layeth open [his]
folly;
or "spreads" F17 it; and exposes it to the view of
everyone, by his foolish talk and indiscreet actions.
