The lawfull use of humane Learning in Sermons. [ 1680]

QU. Elizabeth,* 1.1 of ever blessed memory, having heard Dr. Thomas Dove B. of Peterborough preach before her at her Mannour of Richmond (he being a mo•••• eloquent and facetious Scholler) said; That she thought verily the holy Ghost was descended again in this Dove: And surely, whatsoever others may think of humane Learning as Rhetoricall figures and tropes, and other arti∣ficiall ornaments of speech taken from prophane Authours to be but paintings fitter for wanton strumpets, then habits for chaste Matrons; more beseeming the stage then the Pulpit; yet let such know, that Iudith did attire her head as well as Iesabell,* 1.2 and that seeing now the extraordinary gifts of Tongues and Miracles are ceased, and that knowledg is not infusa but acquisita, Eloquence may serve as an Handmaid, and Tropes and Figures as Iewells and Ornaments to adorn the chaste Matron, Divinity.
