Excerpt: If I should know all things that are in the world, and should not be in charity: what help would it be to me in the sight of God, who will judge me by my deeds ? II. Leave off that excessive desire of knowing: because there is found therein much distraction and deceit. They who are learned, are desirous to appear and to be called wise. There are many things, the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul. And he is very unwise who attends to other things than what may serve to his salvation. Many words do not satisfy the soul; but a good life gives ease to the mind; and a pure conscience affords a great confidence in God. III. The more and better thou knowest, the more heavy will be thy judgment, unless thy life be also more holy. Be not therefore puffed up with any art or science: but rather fear upon account of the knowledge which is given thee. If it seems to thee that thou knowest many things, and understandest them well enough: know at the same time that there are many more things of which thou art ignorant. Be not high minded, but rather acknowledge thy ignorance. Why wouldst thou prefer thyself to anyone, since there are many more learned and skilful in the law than thyself? If thou wouldst know and learn any thing to the purpose: love to he unknown, and esteemed as nothing. IV. This is the highest, and most profitable lesson, truly to know, and to despise ourselves.
