A treatise of original sin ... proving that it is

Fifthly, Original sin filleth the mind with exceeding great folly; So that no man born a natural fool is more to be pitied, then every man who by nature is a spiritual fool. Those conceited wise ones of the world, who condemn the godly for a company of fools, they are fools in the highest degree, as may easily be evinced: If so be (Job 4. 18.) God is said, To charge his Angels with folly, (and that, as some expound,) even the good Angels themselves, because that wisdom they have comparatively to Gods, is but folly; how much more is this true of man fallen, who hath lost that wisdom God once bestowed upon him? If you ask, Wherein doth a natural mans folly appear? Truly in every thing he doth, Eccl. 10. 3, His wisdom: faileth him, and he saith to every one, he is a fool; Every oath, every lie, every drunken fit proclaimeth a man to be but a fool; If he had the wisdom of Gods Word he could never do so; especially the folly of man by nature is seen these ways.
