There are many understanding men, who have not this understanding, or an understanding for this. While David saith (Psal: 49.20.) Man that is in honour and understandeth not, he supposeth, that a man ascended to the highest pitch of honour, may yet be without understanding, that is, without a right, a sound, a spiritual understanding; and then (as it followeth there) he is like the beasts that perish.
