— And when we come to the studying or reading of the Holy Scrip- tures, we ought always to pray, and say with David, Psal. cxix. " Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments." And in another place, " Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." The more we use of our own wisdom to the un- derstanding of Scripture, the more the knowledge of the wisdom of God is hidden from us. — This hath been a very great hindrance to the Philoso- phers and wise men of t...his world. — For while they endeavoured by their own human wisdom to measure and understand the things, which God hath delivered by his divine Spirit in the Scrip- tures, they fell into very great errors ; as Tertul- lian well said in his time, The Philosophers are the fathers of Hereticks. Ibid. p. 415. Tbelcatius. Forasmuch as one thing is more known in its own nature, and another in respect of us ; we con- sider the plainness of Scripture both ways; both in its own nature, as it is inspired by God ; and in respect of us, so far as we are inspired by God to understand it.
