But this is the mighty hand and power of God.1 He chooseth the weak things of the world, to confound the strong: and the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise.2 He overthroweth the great Goliath with a silly sling, and bloweth down Antichrist in all his glory with the breathe of his mouth. I thank thee, O Father, saith Christ: for that thou haste hid these things from the wise, and Politic: and haste revealed the same unto the simple. The Faith of Christ is not bound to place. The whole Earth is the Lords, and all the fullness of the same. There is now no Distinction of Greek, and Barbarous: We are all one in Christ Jesus.
