Ans. 1. God placeth our salvation in enmity to mans wisdom, simply, and in the simple natural and sinless knowledge of arts and tongues, Its most false, in enmity to to mans wisdom abused, gloried in, its true. and God brings to nothing the wisdom of this world, by which Jew and Gentile slighted Christ, and denied him, and willed a murtherer Barabbas to be released before him. What is this to the Lords condemning of humane learning, arts and tongues of which the Apostle; 1 Cor. 1. speaketh not, but of their carnal abuse of these and glorying in them? and it is to beg the question, to say that this learning is carnal and fleshly, in it self, which is now the question. 2 Nor was it out of pride of humane learning, tongues, and arts that the Jews stumbled at Christ and the wisdom of the Cross, but out of false glosses they put on the Scriptures of the Old Testament, seeking by the law salvation, Rom. 10▪ 1. and by this argument the Old Testament is condemned as well as arts and tongues, as an impediment to faith.
