I remember Oecolampadius hath such an expression as this, saith he, *Christ should be contemned and dishonoured, if we should not hear, were it but a child speaking with his Spirit, though all the world should be against it. And in Isaiah. 11. 6. there is a promise that in the times of the Gospel, the spirits of men should be so brought down, that they should not stand upon their greatness and learning, but the Text saith, A child should lead them; that is, the humble temper that God would have under the Gospel.

But it may be said, Will not this argue self-conceit? What, for one man, a private man to plead with so many, with a Church? it is a sign that such a one is very well opinionated of himself, that should think that what he apprehendeth should be sufficient to stand against the apprehension of so many learned and godly men as are in the Church. How can this be freed from arrogancy and proud conceitedness.
