But to the point under a fortunate direction. Ecclesiastes says in his first chapter, "The number of
fools is infinite;" and when he calls it infinite, does he not seem to comprehend all men, unless
it be some few whom yet 'tis a question whether any man ever saw? But more ingeniously does
Jeremiah in his tenth chapter confess it, saying, "Every man is made a fool through his own
wisdom;" attributing wisdom to God alone and leaving folly to all men else, and again, "Let
not man glory in his wisdom." And why, good Jeremiah, would you not have a man glory in
his wisdom? Because, he'll say, he has none at all.
