1 Corinthians14:18
Verſe 18. I thank my God, &c.] Skill in tongues is, as now, a great bleſſing. Indeed at firſt when men began [non-Latin text not transcribed], to fight againſt God, they were compelled [non-Latin text not transcribed], to brabble in divers languages, ſeventy two, as Epiphanius affirmeth. But God hath turned this curſe into a bleſſing unto his people, Act. 2. and as in the firſt plantation of the Goſpel, ſo in the late Reformation, God ſent it before, as his munition to batter the forts of Antichriſt, who had baniſhed arts and languages, overſpreading all with barbariſme and Atheiſme. Graecè noſſe ſuſpectum erat, Hebraicè ferè haereticum.
