But I will trouble my self and the Reader with no more of this work, fearing that I have trespassed in doing more than needs in so plain a case, already. I will therefore shut up all that I have to say from humane Testimony, with the words of Chrysostom (or whoever else is the author of the imperfect work on Math.) and his own certain expressions elsewhere.
In the Imperfect Comment. (Edit. Commel. an. 1617.) ⟨p. 349⟩in Math. 20. Hom. 35.1 pag. 900.901. it is said as followeth [Fructum humilitatis terrestris posuit primatum caelestem, & primatus terrestris fructum, posuit confusionem caelestem. Quicunque ergo defiderat primatum caelestem, sequatur humilitatem terrestrem; quicunque autem desiderat, primatum in terra, inveniet confusionem in caelo: ut jam inter servos Christi •on sit de primatu certamen] That is [He hath made the Celestial primacy to be the fruit of terrestrial humility: and the fruit of earthly Primacy, he hath appointed to be Celestial confusion*. Whosoever therefore desireth Celestial primacy let him follow terrestrial humility: but whosoever desireth Primacy on earth, shall find confusion in heaven: That so among the servants of Christ there may be no strife for Primacy.]
