To like purpose S. 1Chrysostome saithe, Fieri non potest, ut is, qui Divinis Scripturis magno studio, feruentique desiderio vacat, semper negligatur. Licet enim desit nobis hominis Magisterium, tamen ipse Dominus, supernè intrans in corda nostra, illustrat mentem: rationi jubar suum infundit: detegit occulta: doctorque fit eorum, quae ignoramus: tantùm si nos ea, quae à nobis sunt, afferre velimus: It cannot possibly be, that he, that with earnest study, and fervent desire readeth the Scriptures, should evermore be forsaken. For although we want the instruction of man, yet God him self from above entering into our hearts, lighteneth our mind: poureth his beams into our wits: openeth things, that were hidden: and becometh unto us a Schoolmaster of that, we know not: only if we will do so much, as in us lieth.

For although wee wante the instruction of man, yet God him selfe from aboue entringe into our hartes, lighteneth our minde: poureth his beames into our wittes: openeth thinges, that were hidden: and becommeth vnto vs a Scholemaister of that, wee knowe not: onely if wee wil doo so mutche, as in vs lieth.
