Appearances
It renders them odious to God and
very burdensome in society.
Dangerous in their counsels.
Disturbers of better purposes.
Intractable and incapable of better direction.
Miserable in the issue.
Where Christ shows his gracious power and weakness, he does it by letting men understand themselves so far as to breed humility.
and magnify God's love to such as they are.
He does it as a preservative against discouragements from weakness.
to bring men into a less distance from grace.
As an advantage to poverty of spirit
rather than greatness of condition and parts.
which yield to corrupt nature fuel for pride.
Christ refuses none for weakness of parts, that none should be discouraged.
but accepts none for greatness, that none should be lifted up with that which is of so little reckoning with God.
It is no great matter how dull the scholar be.
When Christ takes upon him to be the teacher.
Who, as he prescribes what to understand, so he gives understanding itself, even to the simplest.
The church suffers much from weak ones, therefore we may assert our liberty to deal with them.
Though mildly, yet oftentimes directly.
