No Man Is The Wiser

I Have Taken Much Pains To Know Everything That Is Esteemed Worth Knowing Amongst Men; But With All My Reading, Nothing Now Remains To Comfort Me At The Close Of This Life But This Passage Of St. Paul: "it Is A Faithful Saying, And Worthy Of All Acceptation, That Jesus Christ Came Into The World To Save Sinners." To This I Cleave, And Herein Do I Find Rest.

Pleasure Is Nothing Else But The Intermission Of Pain, The Enjoying Of Something I Am In Great Trouble For Till I Have It.
