Which things also we speak, not in the words, which mans wisdom teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things ⟨p. 135⟩with spiritual things. And it is a speech both simple and perspicuous fit both for the peoples understanding and to express the majesty of the spirit. Act. 17. 2. Paul disputed with them three sabbath days out of the Scriptures. 3. Opening ([Greek or Hebrew]) and showing that Christ must suffer and rise again. Gal. 3. 1. O ye foolish Galatians:—to whom Jesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified. 2. Cor. 4. 2. But we have cast from us the cloaks of shame, and walk not in craftiness, neither handle we the word of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approve our selves to every mans conscience in the sight of God. 3. If our Gospel be then hid, it is hid to them that perish. 4. In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds, that is, of the infidels. &c.
