it by the witness of Scripture. It remains to show on the
authority of Scripture Wisd. vii. 22, 23. that there can be
no fellowship between it and vice, but that it has an inseparable union

undefiled, sure, holy, loving what is good, quick, that never forbids a
kindness, kind, steadfast, free from care, having all power, overseeing
all things.” And again: Wisd. viii. 7.
“She teacheth temperance and justice and
virtue.”
