But what doth the Apostle mean? Doth he call his beloved Corinthians fools? Had he no other example in the world of simple men called to be Saints but the Corinthians to whom he writes? Surely he did it not to discre∣dit them, but to credit God that had called them. They could not so well tell what God had done for others, as what he had done for themselves. The Apostle therefore puls down them that he may set up God. The Apostles were despised by the Philosophers,
and the Corinthians by the Gentiles a∣mong whom they lived. Yet had both the Apostles and Corinthians ob∣tained that which neither the Phi∣losophers nor Princes of the Gentiles could attain unto, to be called of God.
Consider next what title the Apostle gives them.
