A03735 The sufficiencie of the spirits teaching, without humane-learning: or A treatise, tending to proue humane-learning to be no help to the spirituall understanding of the Word of God. Written (if it may be) for the silencing of such false and scandalous reports, as have been rumored about concerning this matter; and also for the affording of true information to all such as desire to know the truth.

in_o effect_n have_v affirm_v as_o i_o hear_v of_o i_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v against_o it_o as_o be_v already_o before_o declare_v from_o the_o 1.26_o the_o 1_o cor._n 1.26_o apostle_n though_o there_o be_v not_o many_o but_o yet_o this_o for_o certain_a be_v the_o worst_a work_n that_o a_o carnal_a man_n can_v undertake_v to_o meddle_v with_o the_o scripture_n see_v that_o he_o abuse_v

truth_n now_o this_o agree_v as_o it_o do_v with_o the_o word_n need_v not_o any_o other_o testimony_n of_o itself_o because_o it_o be_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o great_a as_o

yet_o be_v it_o not_o useful_a to_o furnish_v we_o with_o word_n to_o express_v our_o selus_fw-la in_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o gospel_n answer_n i_o answer_v with_o paul_n that_o the_o whole_a

whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v perfect_a and_o absolute_a for_o every_o good_a work_n than_o it_o be_v so_o for_o that_o so_o that_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o man_n wisdom_n to_o help_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o so_o yet_o further_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o he_o 1.17_o he_o 1_o cor._n 1.17_o preach_v the_o gospel_n not_o with_o wisdom_n of_o word_n if_o not_o with_o wisdom_n of_o word_n than_o i_o conclude_v they_o be_v needless_a and_o so_o much_o the_o next_o word_n declare_v lest_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v make_v the_o cross_n of_o none_o effect_n and_o again_o i_o brother_n say_v he_o when_o i_o come_v unto_o you_o come_v not_o with_o the_o 2.1_o the_o 1_o cor._n 2.1_o excellency_n of_o word_n or_o of_o wisdom_n show_v unto_o you_o the_o council_n of_o god_n but_o free_v himself_o from_o it_o deny_v that_o his_o preach_n stand_v in_o the_o 4._o the_o vers_fw-la 4._o entice_a speech_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o plain_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o afterward_o he_o give_v the_o 5._o the_o vers_fw-la 5._o reason_n for_o it_o that_o their_o faith_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n by_o which_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v subject_a so_o to_o be_v if_o that_o be_v use_v and_o so_o we_o find_v that_o indeed_o it_o be_v and_o not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n by_o the_o plain_a demonstation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o though_o in_o all_o this_o one_o will_v think_v the_o apostle_n have_v say_v enough_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o deliver_n of_o the_o truth_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o have_v not_o do_v with_o it_o but_o mind_v it_o yet_o 2.13_o yet_o 1_o cor._n 2.13_o again_o say_v which_o thing_n as_o we_o know_v they_o so_o we_o also_o speak_v not_o with_o word_n which_o man_n wisdom_n teach_v and_o so_o again_o he_o 4.19_o he_o cor._n 4.19_o slight_o pass_v over_o the_o word_n of_o the_o false_a

to_o the_o false_a teacher_n so_o far_o as_o to_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v 11.6_o be_v cor._n 11.6_o rude_a in_o speak_v but_o not_o so_o in_o knowledge_n by_o all_o which_o place_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o man_n wisdom_n be_v to_o be_v reject_v even_o in_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o none_o be_v to_o affect_v any_o excellence_n that_o way_n but_o to_o content_v themselves_o even_o with_o the_o use_n of_o the_o natural_a ability_n they_o have_v without_o any_o art_n or_o skill_n in_o learning_n further_o object_n 4_o but_o apollas_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o

before_o manifest_v that_o whenas_o all_o these_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o faith_n they_o leave_v forsake_v and_o contemn_v all_o that_o so_o do_v i_o believe_v be_v it_o here_o with_o this_o man_n that_o whenas_o he_o come_v to_o be_v teach_v further_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o then_o become_v more_o and_o more_o suitable_a to_o the_o rudeness_n and_o simplicity_n of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n aswell_o as_o paul_n for_o never_o afterward_o do_v we_o read_v that_o he_o be_v commend_v by_o that_o term_n for_o such_o manner_n of_o excellency_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o to_o the_o gospel_n in_o any_o degree_n but_o second_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o he_o persist_v in_o his_o eloquence_n yet_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v such_o as_o he_o have_v obtain_v by_o be_v mighty_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o this_o also_o further_o justify_v a_o former_a answer_n that_o the_o scripture_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a

a_o mere_a natural_a man_n may_v be_v a_o great_a worldly_a learned_a man_n as_o be_v the_o egyptian_n and_o babylonian_n and_o as_o be_v many_o of_o the_o romish_a priest_n and_o jesuit_n therefore_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o be_v not_o the_o learning_n here_o mean_v 4._o because_o such_o of_o god_n servant_n as_o have_v have_v such_o kind_n of_o learning_n when_o as_o they_o come_v to_o know_v

worst_a condition_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n then_o in_o the_o best_a condition_n in_o the_o world_n suppose_v it_o be_v learning_n the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o paul_n who_o count_v

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o to_o difference_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n from_o god_n spirit_n and_o show_v that_o that_o be_v it_o whereby_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n be_v know_v and_o also_o manifest_v to_o other_o so_o that_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n both_o for_o matter_n and_o manner_n flow_v from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o not_o what_o man_n wisdom_n teach_v which_o be_v to_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n and_o carnal_a thing_n together_o as_o tongue_n and_o ar●s_n and_o such_o like_a but_o god_n spirit_n teach_v we_o to_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o and_o declare_v that_o only_a such_o that_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n be_v capable_a of_o true_a discern_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n without_o be_v just_o condemn_v of_o any_o as_o true_o have_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n right_o and_o true_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n and_o with_o this_o agree_v the_o witness_n of_o john_n 2.26.27_o john_n 1_o joh._n 2.26.27_o say_v these_o thing_n have_v i_o write_v unto_o you_o concern_v they_o that_o deceive_v you_o whereby_o it_o appear_v they_o have_v deceiver_n about_o they_o and_o those_o thing_n be_v write_v concern_v such_o but_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o opposition_n to_o their_o deceive_n you_o have_v receive_v the_o anoint_v of_o

further_o our_o 13._o our_o joh._n 16.7_o with_o 13._o saviour_n himself_o conclude_v this_o point_n show_v that_o when_o he_o have_v send_v the_o comforter_n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n to_o they_o that_o then_o he_o shall_v lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n whence_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o for_o the_o disciple_n knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o more_o necessary_a according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o he_o that_o be_v truth_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n without_o all_o error_n teach_v by_o no_o humane_a mean_n the_o reason_n why_o be_v render_v because_o it_o be_v sufficient_a and_o that_o be_v because_o it_o speak_v from_o the_o father_n agreeable_a to_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n take_v from_o the_o prophet_n that_o 6.45_o that_o joh._n 6.45_o we_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o so_o indeed_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o spirit_n we_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o ftther_o and_o the_o son_n also_o which_o be_v all_o

that_o we_o need_v to_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n by_o agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n so_o from_o these_o word_n thus_o interpret_v the_o conclusion_n come_v to_o this_o proposition_n that_o such_o as_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n destitute_a of_o humane-learning_n be_v the_o learned_a one_o that_o true_o understand_v the_o scripture_n according_a to_o peter_n

10.21.24_o lord_n luk._n 10.21.24_o justify_v it_o with_o great_a thankfulness_n to_o his_o father_n that_o have_v hide_v these_o s●ings_n from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a he_o have_v reveal_v

not_o to_o deceive_v himself_o be_v to_o know_v nothing_o of_o this_o learning_n nor_o any_o other_o fleshly_a excellency_n that_o so_o he_o may_v learn_v true_a wisdom_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v

so_o the_o point_n be_v clear_a and_o plain_a that_o such_o as_o be_v teach_v by_o god_n spirit_n without_o that_o learning_n do_v true_o understand_v the_o word_n i_o judge_v it_o necessary_a also_o
