Answer.

I conceive Mr. Simpsons Heart was hot within him, out* of his great Zeal to Humane Learning (the great Goddess by which the University lives) when he thus spake; And it ap∣pears he is very tender of the Reputation and Glory of it, who thus vindicates it, at as high a rate as the very Scriptures. But Sir, do you know no more Difference between the most precious Word of our Eternal Lord God, and his Son Jesus Christ, and the foolish, corrupt, and stinking Doctrine of Men? is there no more Difference in your Divinity, between the Word of Righteousness, Life, and Salvation, which God hath spoken by Christ, and Christ by his Servants, and the Word and Doctrines of wretched Men, full of sin, death, and de∣struction? And if the Law it self, given by the Ministrati∣on of Angels, loseth its Glory before the Gospel, as the Apo∣stle testifies; How much more doth Heathenish Philosophy, brought forth, partly from the corrupt Reason of Man, and partly from the Inspiration of the Devil, become loathsome and abominable before it, for ever! And cannot we be Ene∣mies to this, say You, without hating the Blessed Word of God? Nay, the blessed Word of God where it prevails in truth, doth make men to hate This, and to count it loss, and dung, and filth, and the most loathsome Baseness in the World, in comparasion of it self. Wherefore, through the Grace of Christ, we will so love the Scriptures, which are Divine Learning, as to hate Humane and Heathenish Learning for thier sakes, seeing it hath put a veil of Darkness in the Church, over this Glorious Sun, the Word of Faith.
