The
Fourth Chapter
DO
NOT yield to every impulse and suggestion but consider things
carefully and patiently in the light of God's will. For very
often, sad to say, we are so weak that we believe and speak
evil of others rather than good. Perfect men, however, do
not readily believe every talebearer, because they know that
human frailty is prone to evil and is likely to appear in
speech.
Not
to act rashly or to cling obstinately to one?s opinion, not
to believe everything people say or to spread abroad the gossip
one has heard, is great wisdom.
Take
counsel with a wise and conscientious man. Seek the advice
of your betters in preference to following your own inclinations.
A
good life makes a man wise according to God and gives him
experience in many things, for the more humble he is and the
more subject to God, the wiser and the more at peace he will
be in all things.
