Neither speaketh he dissemblingly.1 For there is none in the Church of Christ so void of gifts, that he can not profit us somewhat: but our malignity and pride hinder us, that we do not receive any such commodity. We are so high minded, and drunken with foolish glory, that despising others, and setting them at nought, every man thinketh him self to be sufficient enough for him self. I had rather read it with Bucer by the way of exhortation, then of consolation: because so it agreeth better with the premisses.
