Cor Rectum Inquirit Scientiam

Here is today's emblem and distich by Gabriel Rollenhagen, Book 1.79, with an English rendering by George Wither. As often in Rollenhagen, we see the tetragrammaton in the sky, and the Greek letters ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ, "TESTAMENT," on the book the heart is reading.

Cor Rectum Inquirit Scientiam
Nosse Deum, metuisse Deum, sapientia summa est,
Quaerere cor rectum hanc, nocte dieque solet.

The Heart of him, that is upright
In Heavenly-knowledge, takes delight.
