Vers. 24. Then they that erred in spirit shall have understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Vers. 24. Then they that erred in spirit shal haue vnderstanding, and they that murmured shall learne doctrine.
HE yet again repeats this promise which he touched in the 18. verse: for whilst mens understandings are possessed with ignorance and blindness, destruction besiegeth and environs them about, although they otherwise flow in abundance of all worldly wealth. The Lord therefore minding to prepare for the restoration of his Church, begins to clear and enlighten the understandings of those who before erred in darkness by the light of his word. And this he doth by the secret instinct of the Holy Ghost:1 for it is to little purpose to be taught by the external ministry, unless he vouchsafe to teach us by his working inwardly in our hearts.
