Jam. 2.5. 1 Cor. 1.26.
Hearken, beloved brethren dear, your call ye plainly see, How God hath chose the poor on earth full rich in faith to be. Not many mighty men are call'd, not many wise and learn'd, Nor yet in many noble men this calling is descern'd.
27. Matt. 11.26:
But God hath chose weak foolish things, and such as men despise, To bring to nought, and to confound the noble, great, and wise.

We thank thee, Father, Lord of all, that hast these things conceal'd From many wise and prudent men, and them to babes reveal'd.
1 Cor. 1.29, 31.
Even so, O Father, since it was thy pleasure and decree▪ That, in thy sight, no flesh on earth might glory, but in thee.
