These simple unlearned ones, whom you so disdainfully despise, shall rise up in the day of our Lord, and condemn you with all your knowledge. God is able to make the poor Ass to speak, 1to control blind Balaam's wilful purposes. S. Hierome saithe, Paulus, qui Soloecismos facit in loquendo, Christi Crucem portat, &, quasi triumphans, omnes capit: Totum Orbem subegit, ab Oceano usque ad Mare Rubrum: Paul, that is not able to utter his mind in congrue speech, beareth the Cross of Christ, and taketh all men Prisoners, as if it were in triumph: from the Ocean unto the Read Sea, he subdued the whole world. Likewise S. Ambrose saithe, Non quaero,2 quid loquantur Philosophi: requiro quid faciant. Soli in suis Gymnasijs remanserunt. Vide, quàm Fides Argumentis praeponderet. Illi quotidiè à suis consortibus deseruntur, qui copiosé disputant: Isti quotidiè crescunt, qui simpliciter credunt. Non creditur Philosophis: Creditur Piscatoribus: I demand not, what these great learned Philosophers say, but what they do. They are forsaken, and left alone in their Schools. Behold, how much more weight there is in Faith, then in Arguments. They with their profound Reasons are daily forsaken of their fellows: These with their Simple Faith go forward, and increase daily. Men believe not the learned Philosophers: They believe unlearned Fishers.
These simple vnlearned ones, whome you so disdainefully despise, shal rise vp in the daie of our Lorde, and condemne you with al your knowledge. God is hable to make the poore Asse to speake, 1to controlle blinde Balaams wilful pourposes. S. Hierome saithe, Paulus, qui Soloecismos facit in loquendo, Christi Crucem portat, &, quasi triumphans, omnes capit: Totum Orbem subegit, ab Oceano vsque ad Mare Rubrum: Paule, that is not hable to vtter his minde in congrue speache, beareth the Croise of Christe, and taketh al menne Prisoners, as if it were in triūphe: from the Occean vnto the Redde Sea, he subdewed the whole worlde. Likewise S. Ambrose saithe, Non quaero,2 quid loquantur Philosophi: requiro quid faciant. Soli in suis Gymnasijs remanserunt. Vide, quàm Fides Argumentis praeponderet. Illi quotidiè à suis consortibus deseruntur, qui copiosé disputant: Isti quotidiè crescunt, qui simpliciter credunt. Non creditur Philosophis: Creditur Piscatoribus: I demaunde not, what these greate learned Philosophers saie, but what they doo. They are foresaken, and leafte alone in theire Schooles. Beholde, howe mutche more weight there is in Faithe, then in Argumentes. They with theire profounde Reasons are daiely foresaken of theire felowes: These with their Simple Faithe goe forewarde, and encrease daily. Menne beleeue not the learned Philosophers: They beleeue vnlearned Fishers.
