Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 1:25

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser then men : and the weakness of God is stronger then men .

And those things and means which God hath instituted in order to an end, have in them more virtue, power, and efficacy in order to the production of Gods intended effects, than any such means as appear to mens eyes of reason, to have the greatest strength, virtue, and efficacy. Whence we may observe, that the efficacy of preaching for the changing and converting Souls, dependeth upon the efficacy of God working in and by that holy Institution, which usually attendeth the Ministry of those who are not only called, and sent out by men, but by God, being fitted for their work, and faithfully discharging of it.

Marginal references: The least things that are the products of the Wisdom of God, or the continuance of God for mans salvation, which the sinful and silly world calls foolishness, are infinitely more wise, and have more wisdom in them, than the wisest imaginations, counsels, and contrivances of men.
