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.

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 christ_n they_o forsake_v it_o all_o reason_n 4_o reason_n as_o moses_n when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n though_o he_o be_v 7.22_o be_v act._n 7.22_o learn_v in_o all_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o egyptian_n yet_o by_o faith_n he_o forsake_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o egypt_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o egypt_n treasure_n he_o forsake_v this_o also_o for_o when_o he_o say_v treasure_n there_o none_o be_v except_v therefore_o in_o asmuch_o as_o learning_n be_v one_o aswell_o as_o riches_n and_o honour_n he_o forsake_v that_o also_o as_o see_v by_o faith_n a_o better_a treasure_n in_o the_o 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 all_o thing_n loss_n and_o dung_n that_o he_o may_v win_v christ_n even_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n itself_o which_o be_v far_o beyond_o all_o this_o and_o all_o this_o he_o do_v that_o he_o may_v know_v he_o wherein_o the_o apostle_n give_v i_o to_o understand_v that_o all_o such_o thing_n be_v but_o hindrance_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n to_o salvation_n which_o be_v it_o that_o here_o i_o mind_n also_o therefore_o likewise_o this_o be_v not_o the_o learning_n here_o mean_v see_v it_o be_v reject_v of_o they_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o help_n nor_o furtherance_n to_o they_o to_o know_v christ_n by_o but_o let_v and_o hindrance_n and_o so_o much_o appear_v by_o those_o convert_v in_o act_n 19.18_o 19_o who_o when_o they_o believe_v be_v say_v such_o of_o they_o as_o use_v curious_a art_n to_o burn_v their_o book_n declare_v that_o now_o they_o have_v meet_v with_o learning_n of_o far_o great_a worth_n than_o their_o curious_a art_n and_o therefore_o now_o they_o burn_v their_o book_n declare_v that_o now_o they_o have_v no_o more_o need_n of_o they_o and_o so_o i_o conclude_v that_o such_o as_o this_o be_v not_o the_o learning_n here_o mean_v be_v what_o learning_n it_o be_v i_o now_o come_v to_o manifest_v what_o learning_n it_o be_v the_o apostle_n here_o intend_v now_o the_o learning_n here_o intend_v by_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v as_o i_o understand_v that_o sound_a knowledge_n and_o sure_a information_n that_o every_o christian_n have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 2.7_o col._n 2.7_o whereby_o he_o be_v so_o deep_o root_v and_o so_o sure_o graft_v into_o he_o by_o faith_n as_o that_o he_o abide_v unmovable_o settle_v in_o he_o 3.17.18_o ephe._n 3.17.18_o as_o thereby_o he_o abide_v stable_n in_o the_o sure_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o much_o here_o i_o think_v the_o apostle_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v 2.6_o 1_o pet._n 2.6_o how_o that_o the_o unlearned_a they_o be_v unstable_a then_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o learned_a they_o be_v stable_n believe_a and_o be_v lay_v on_o the_o true_a foundation_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v confound_v or_o ashamed_a now_o such_o as_o these_o be_v that_o be_v learn_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o jesus_n these_o may_v well_o say_v to_o the_o great_a worldly_a learned_a one_o as_o philip_n say_v to_o the_o eunuch_n understand_v thou_o what_o thou_o read_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o such_o may_v teach_v they_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o mystery_n say_v these_o be_v teach_v and_o instruct_v by_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n agreeable_a to_o these_o scripture_n 2.10_o scripture_n 1_o cor._n 2.10_o that_o it_o have_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v of_o that_o which_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n which_o search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n have_v reaveal_v unto_o we_o and_o this_o the_o apostle_n further_o explain_v that_o as_o no_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n save_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o so_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n no_o not_o a_o worldly_a learned_a man_n but_o 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 he_o that_o dwell_v in_o you_o and_o this_o anoint_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v do_v he_o oppose_v to_o their_o deceive_a as_o be_v able_a thorough_o to_o teach_v they_o so_o as_o that_o they_o need_v not_o that_o any_o man_n teach_v they_o save_v as_o that_o anoint_v teach_v they_o then_o see_v that_o that_o anoint_v never_o do_v teach_v they_o such_o tongue_n or_o art_n as_o be_v humane_a therefore_o the_o saint_n by_o the_o apostle_n grant_v have_v not_o need_v of_o any_o such_o learning_n and_o yet_o this_o anoint_v teach_v all_o truth_n and_o obedience_n in_o it_o also_o and_o yet_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 one_o and_o so_o our_o learning_n come_v to_o we_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n for_o all_o our_o instructer_n and_o councillor_n and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o learning_n 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 mind_n i_o say_v such_o as_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n without_o humane-learning_n be_v such_o person_n as_o right_o understand_v the_o word_n and_o this_o i_o think_v the_o whole_a council_n of_o jerusalem_n as_o wicked_a as_o they_o be_v do_v in_o effect_n conclude_v 4.13.14_o conclude_v act._n 4.13.14_o consider_v peter_n and_o john_n though_o unlearned_a man_n yet_o they_o know_v they_o have_v be_v with_o jesus_n by_o their_o boldness_n and_o so_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o though_o man_n shall_v oppose_v it_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_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 they_o to_o babe_n now_o that_o
as_o by_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v choose_v to_o that_o state_n be_v young_a scholar_n that_o be_v not_o sound_o teach_v in_o the_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n the_o more_o other_o learning_n that_o he_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o be_v puff_v up_o this_o i_o believe_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o diotrephes_n 9.10_o diotrephes_n 3_o joh._n 9.10_o pride_n he_o want_v this_o scholership_n and_o that_o cause_v he_o to_o seek_v the_o pre-eminence_n and_o this_o whatsoever_o our_o great_a scholar_n think_v of_o themselves_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o high_a conceit_n that_o they_o have_v of_o themselves_o and_o their_o knnowledge_n and_o understanding_n above_o other_o that_o want_v their_o learning_n even_o this_o because_o they_o be_v but_o young_a scholar_n if_o that_o in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n and_o thene_n be_v it_o they_o be_v so_o puff_v up_o with_o the_o vain_a glory_n of_o their_o fleshly_a learning_n that_o they_o think_v that_o none_o that_o be_v not_o as_o themselves_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v their_o fellow_n and_o so_o know_v not_o now_o that_o they_o be_v wretched_a poor_a miserable_a blind_a and_o naked_a though_o they_o

i_o leave_v to_o all_o that_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v to_o look_v into_o it_o and_o so_o to_o judge_v whether_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o to_o learn_v paul_n scholership_n further_o i_o say_v it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v mind_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v human-lerning_n that_o be_v here_o mean_v than_o paul_n shall_v teach_v timothy_n for_o to_o teach_v the_o church_n to_o choose_v such_o scholar_n as_o have_v more_o learning_n than_o have_v their_o master_n christ_n jesus_n now_o this_o some_o say_v be_v blasphemy_n and_o threaten_v i_o sore_o for_o it_o answer_n i_o answer_v they_o that_o consider_v christ_n jesus_n as_o god_n according_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n so_o he_o be_v god_n over_o all_o and_o so_o give_v all_o thing_n act_n 17.25_o and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o 1.17_o the_o

malicious_o bend_v they_o may_v discern_v that_o i_o in_o this_o argument_n have_v not_o to_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o god_n but_o as_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n administer_a for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o body_n according_a to_o that_o luke_n 4.18_o where_o he_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v anoint_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v minister_v etc._n etc._n and_o so_o in_o this_o argument_n he_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n set_v forth_o as_o a_o man_n 22._o man_n act._n 2_o 22._o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n a_o man_n approve_v of_o god_n and_o as_o such_o a_o man_n so_o administer_a i_n doe-still_a affirm_v and_o that_o with_o great_a confidence_n that_o he_o be_v unlearned_a in_o this_o consideration_n and_o without_o the_o learning_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o 50.4_o isay_n 50.4_o and_o so_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o learned_a that_n be_v say_v to_o be_v give_v he_o be_v 61.1_o be_v isay_n 61.1_o interpret_v by_o the_o same_o prophet_n to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o say_v he_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v anoint_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v preach_v from_o whence_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v learn_v of_o the_o father_n to_o preach_v by_o the_o spirit_n without_o human-learning_n ̶_n see_v further_o of_o this_o in_o the_o epistle_n note_v with_o this_o mark_n ‡_o ̶_n and_o so_o much_o be_v plain_a to_o they_o that_o can_v believe_v the_o scripture_n from_o john_n 7.15_o where_o the_o jew_n admire_v say_v how_o come_v this_o man_n to_o know_v the_o scripture_n see_v that_o he_o be_v never_o learn_v from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n he_o be_v unlearned_a in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n though_o as_o god_n he_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o a_o divine_a power_n not_o human-learning_n so_o much_o as_o his_o own_o natural_a tongue_n by_o letter_n 4.7_o luk._n 4.7_o as_o in_o the_o synagogue_n he_o can_v take_v the_o book_n and_o read_v and_o this_o doubtless_o be_v

of_o it_o and_o so_o leave_v of_o it_o i_o come_v to_o another_o exception_n which_o be_v object_n 2_o how_o such_o as_o be_v unlearned_a will_v be_v able_a to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o gainsayer_n
