S. Ambrose saithe, 1Non in Dialectica complacuit Deo, saluum facere populum suum. Regnum enim Dei in simplicitate Fidei est, non in contentione Sermonis: It pleased not God, by Logic to save his people: For the Kingdom of God standeth not in contention of talk, 2but in simplicity of Faith. Likewise he saith, Verba Philosophorum excludit simplex Veritas Piscatorū: The simple plain Faith of Fishers confoundeth the words of the learned Philosophers. The Ancient Father Origen saithe, Sapientes huius saeculi,3 videntes absque Art Grammatica, & peritia Philosophica consurgere muros Evangelij, v•lut cum irrisione quadam dicunt, perfacilé hoc posse destrui calliditate Sermonum, per astutas fallacias, & Argumenta Dialectica: The wise men of this world, seeing the walls of the Gospel to rise up without Grammar, and profound knowledge in Philosophy, say scornfully amongst them selves, that all this by subtlety of speech, and crafty shifts, and Logical Arguments, may full easily be shaken down.
