his_o wisdom_n neither_o be_v the_o plain_a man_n hinder_v any_o thing_n by_o his_o ignorance_n yea_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n say_v he_o ignorance_n be_v more_o fit_a and_o

live_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o reason_n he_o far_o say_v there_o that_o where_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v chrysost._n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o man_n wisdom_n as_o where_o the_o sun_n be_v there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o candle_n and_o he_o conclude_v there_o this_o matter_n thus_o that_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o that_o humane_a wisdom_n and_o learning_n can_v help_v herein_o but_o rather_o hinder_v and_o that_o therefore_o when_o christ_n send_v forth_o the_o first_o

that_o help_v to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o to_o profit_v in_o the_o study_n of_o they_o but_o something_o more_o high_a and_o heavenly_a his_o own_o word_n be_v scripture_n these_o he_o who_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o love_n comprehend_v without_o any_o error_n the_o manifold_a abundance_n and_o large_a teach_v of_o god_n scripture_n for_o paul_n say_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o

and_o the_o neighbour_n hold_v sure_o all_o the_o greatness_n and_o largeness_n of_o god_n speech_n therefore_o if_o we_o have_v not_o leisure_n to_o search_v all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o

till_o they_o have_v spend_v nine_o or_o ten_o year_n at_o art_n or_o philosophy_n which_o compredend_v many_o strong_a error_n of_o heathen_a man_n against_o the_o christian_a belief_n it_o seem_v well_o that_o god_n will_v not_o cease_v from_o vengeance_n till_o it_o and_o other_o thing_n be_v punish_v sore_o for_o it_o seem_v that_o worldly_a clerk_n and_o feign_o religious_a do_v this_o under_o pretence_n that_o simple_a man_n of_o wit_n and_o knowledge_n know_v not_o god_n law_n to_o preach_v it_o general_o against_o sin_n in_o the_o realm_n but_o wit_n you_o worldly_a clerk_n and_o

must_v first_o be_v well_o see_v in_o aristotle_n ere_o he_o can_v understand_v the_o scripture_n say_v they_o now_o say_v he_o aristotle_n doctrine_n be_v that_o the_o world_n be_v without_o

what_o we_o do_v without_o this_o doctrine_n say_v he_o ironical_o how_o can_v we_o understand_v the_o scripture_n that_o say_v god_n create_v the_o world_n of_o nought_o and_o god_n work_v all_o

aristotle_n say_v give_v a_o man_n a_o law_n and_o he_o have_v power_n of_o himself_o to_o do_v or_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o become_v righteous_a with_o work_v righteous_o but_o paul_n and_o the_o
