4 The power, wisdom, and righteousness of men have no place in Gospel reformation, because saith M. Del, it is the haughtiness and loftiness of men that must be laid in the dust, in the day of reformation, pag. 12, 13. Now the power of preaching the Gospel, and the Keys of the Kingdom, to shut and open, to proclaim ministerially the remitting and retaining of sins, are the only means on mans part to reform the Church, the word preached by sinful men, is the chief means, now these are not pride and haughtiness, because Christ giveth these to men Mat. 16, 18, 19. Joh. 20, 21. 2 Cor. 5.18, 19. 2 Cor. 10.5. 2 Cor. 4.7. Ephes. 4.11, 12. 1 Cor. 12.28. But he giveth not pride and haughtiness, nor infuseth he these into any, they are from that evil one Satan.
