1 Corinthians 2

^{1 a} That is, the Gospel, whereby God doeth manifest himself to the worlde, or whereof God is the autor & witnes.

^{1 /} Or, mysterie.

^{1 !} He putteth for example his maner of preaching, which was according to the tenor of the Gospel.

^{2 /} Or, I thoght nothing werthie to be knowen.

^{3 b} Herein appeareth his great modestie, who was not glorious, but abject & humble, not ful of vaine boastings & arrogancie, but with fear & trembling set forthe the mightie power of God.

^{6 c} They whose vnderstandings are illuminate by faith, acknowledge this wisdome, which the worlde calleth follie.

^{6 d} The worde is here taken for them whome ether for wisdome, riches or power men moste esteme.

^{8 e} That is, very fewe.

^{8 f} He calleth Jesus the mightie God, ful of true gloire & maiestie, whome dauid also calleth the King of glorie, {Psal 24,7} and Steuen nameth him the God of glorie, {Act. 7,2} & heareby appeareth the diuinitie of Christ, & conjunction of two natures in one person.

^{8 !} Which Gospel was contempitible & hid to the carnal.

^{9 g} Man is not able to thinke of Gods prouidence towards his.

^{10 !} And againe honourable and manifest to the spiritual.

^{10 h} For he is one God with the Father and the Sonne.

^{11 i} Mans minde, which vnderstandeth and judgeth.

^{12 k} We are not moued with that Spirit, which teacheth things wherewith the worlde is delited, and which men vnderstand by nature.

^{12 l} All the benefits of God in Jesus Christ.

^{13 m} As that which we teache is spiritual, so our kinde of teaching must be spiritual, that the wordes may agre with the matter.

^{14 n} Whose knowledge & judgement is not cleared by Gods Spirit.

^{15 o} For the trueth of God is not subject to the judgement of man.

^{16 p} That is, Christs Spirit, {John 16,13, rom 8,9}
