And therefore the Apostle tells us, that the rejecting of this kind of Oratory in his Preaching and Writing, was of indispensable necessity, that it might appear that the effects of them were not any way influenced thereby, but were the genuine productions of the things themselves which he delivered, 1 Cor. 2.5, 6, 7. This kind of Eloquence then the Scripture maketh no use of, but rather condemneth its Application unto the great and holy things whereof it treateth, as unbecoming their Excellency and Majesty. ⟨p. 17⟩So Origen to this purpose, [Greek or Hebrew], Tom. 4. in Johan. If the Holy Scripture had used that Elegance and choice of Speech, which are admired among the Greeks, one might have suspected that it was not Truth it self that conquered men, but that they had been circumvented and deceived by appearing or fallacious consequences, and the Splendour or Elegance of Speech.
