Religious proviso one gets in a church offering words of wisdom? (6)
I believe the answer is:
advice
'words of wisdom?' is the definition.
(words of wisdom can mean bits of advice)
'religious proviso one gets in a church' is the wordplay.
'religious proviso' becomes 'DV' ('Deo volente' means 'God willing' in Latin).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'gets in' is an insertion indicator.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'dv'+'i'='dvi'
'a'+'ce'='ace'
'dvi' placed inside 'ace' is 'ADVICE'.
'offering' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for advice that I've seen before include "Suggestion (invited or otherwise)" , "Formal notice" , "Counselling" , "What lawyer offers" , "Supposedly wise words" .)
