A Practical Commentary on the Epistle of Jude

1. As he is God, so he is called the wisdom of the Father, 1 Cor. 1. 24. and represented to the ancient Church under this title, as Prov. 1. 20. and Prov. 8. per totum, wisdom is there spoken of as a person, and the descriptions there used are proper to Jesus Christ; some suppose the Heathens had ⟨p. 562⟩some traditional knowledge of this mystery and appellation; for as Christ the wisdom of the Father was eternally and ineffably begotten in the divine Essence, so they worshipped a Goddess whom they called the Goddess of▪ wisdom, and feigned that she was begotten by Jupiter of his own brain, and they called her [Greek or Hebrew] ▪ which word is much like in sound with the Hebrew word, Adonai Lord.
