As for the wisest and learned men, in matters of this world, they have not ⟨p. 213⟩always proved the readiest and most willing to set forth the glory of GOD. They have not been the meetest scholars for this school. Who were they that resisted Moses and Aaron, the servants of God? Not the people, but the wisest and best learned in Egypt.
