Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 1:26

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called .

To prove that this is the method of Divine Providence, to make use of seemingly infirm and weak means to produce his great effects, you need not look further than your selves, look upon the whole body of your Church at Corinth, it is not made up of many that have a reputation for the wise men, or the Noble men of your City. Some indeed were such, Crispus the Ruler of the Synagogue was converted, and Softhenes; but the generality were men of very ordinary repute.
