which_o the_o greek_a shall_v have_v say_v for_o the_o question_n between_o they_o be_v touch_v paul_n and_o plato_n the_o greek_a endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o paul_n be_v rude_a and_o unlearned_a but_o the_o christian_a through_o his_o simplicity_n do_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o paul_n be_v more_o learned_a and_o eluquent_a than_o plato_n and_o so_o the_o greek_a shall_v obtain_v the_o victory_n if_o the_o christian_n reason_n shall_v prevail_v for_o if_o paul_n be_v more_o learned_a than_o plato_n then_o may_v man_n object_v that_o he_o overcome_v not_o the_o world_n through_o grace_n but_o through_o eloquence_n wherefore_o that_o which_o the_o christian_a speak_v make_v for_o the_o greek_a and_o that_o which_o the_o greek_a speak_v make_v for_o the_o christian_a wherefore_o he_o say_v when_o the_o greek_n shall_v say_v the_o apostle_n be_v rude_a and_o unlearned_a poor_a mean_v simple_a obscure_a person_n let_v we_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o the_o truth_n for_o this_o be_v not_o their_o reproach_n but_o their_o glory_n that_o be_v such_o they_o yet_o overcome_v the_o learned_a man_n the_o wise_a man_n the_o philosopher_n the_o rhetorician_n the_o orator_n the_o prince_n and_o all_o the_o world_n as_o if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v man_n for_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v do_v above_o the_o state_n and_o power_n of_o nature_n this_o do_v exceed_o manifest_a and_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o appear_v that_o chrysostom_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n in_o this_o matter_n touch_v paul_n then_o mr._n simpson_n and_o that_o paul_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n touch_v himself_o now_o see_v mr._n simpson_n do_v here_o insinuate_v that_o human_a learning_n fit_v a_o man_n to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o see_v this_o also_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o the_o carnal_a and_o unbelieving_a people_n i_o do_v desire_v they_o to_o consider_v what_o some_o godly_a man_n have_v speak_v clear_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n chrysostom_n who_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n more_o clear_o than_o any_o of_o the_o ancient_a writer_n in_o his_o comment_n on_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n chrysost._n do_v whole_o exclude_v human_a learning_n from_o contribute_v any_o thing_n either_o to_o the_o speak_v or_o receive_v the_o gospel_n for_o say_v he_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o be_v crucify_a and_o bury_v and_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o he_o rise_v again_o and_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o have_v all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n give_v to_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v make_v of_o god_n to_o the_o whole_a church_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n this_o doctrine_n stand_v not_o in_o need_n of_o human_a wisdom_n and_o reason_n but_o of_o faith_n only_o and_o that_o both_o in_o they_o that_o speak_v it_o 4._o and_o in_o they_o that_o receive_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o proceed_v in_o this_o matter_n in_o outward_a wisdom_n but_o in_o faith_n and_o so_o become_v more_o wise_a and_o excellent_a than_o the_o worldly_a wise_a and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o receive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n then_o to_o be_v persuade_v into_o they_o by_o the_o force_n of_o argument_n he_o add_v also_o that_o to_o the_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n neither_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n profit_v thing_n by_o 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 ibid._n 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 ready_a to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n than_o wisdom_n and_o a_o shepherd_n and_o a_o ploughman_n will_v soon_o receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o submit_v to_o it_o than_o a_o scholar_n who_o live_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o human_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_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o that_o human_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 teacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o take_v not_o wise_a and_o learned_a philosopher_n that_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n may_v not_o be_v make_v void_a and_o that_o the_o faith_n of_o christian_n shall_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n but_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o he_o choose_v plain_a fisherman_n tent-maker_n publican_n obscure_a simple_a poor_a contemptible_a ignorant_a and_o unlearned_a man_n and_o these_o overcome_v king_n prince_n people_n nation_n greek_n {non-roman}_o philosopher_n orator_n sophister_n they_o overcome_v the_o ancient_a manner_n custom_n and_o the_o very_a religion_n of_o the_o world_n also_o their_o law_n judgement_n divers_a sort_n of_o punishment_n and_o innumerable_a kind_n of_o death_n and_o by_o all_o this_o say_v he_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o their_o preach_n be_v not_o in_o human_a w●sdom_n but_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o

and_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n only_o fit_v they_o for_o this_o heavenly_a work_n hear_v also_o what_o wickliff_n say_v to_o this_o matter_n wickliff_n in_o his_o book_n entitle_v the_o path_n

but_o something_o more_o high_a and_o heavenly_a his_o own_o word_n as_o 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 law_n be_v charity_n and_o in_o another_o place_n the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n be_v charity_n of_o clean_a heart_n and_o good_a conscience_n and_o of_o faith_n unfeigned_a and_o christ_n say_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o lord_n god_n of_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o of_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o of_o all_o thy_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 pierce_v into_o all_o the_o privity_n of_o they_o hold_v thou_o love_v whereon_o all_o thing_n hang_v and_o so_o

therefore_o worldly_a fool_n do_v you_o first_o repent_v of_o your_o sin_n and_o forsake_v pride_n and_o covetousness_n and_o be_v you_o meek_a and_o fear_v you_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o love_v

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
