John Trapp on Colossians 2:3

Verſe 3. In whom are hid] What ſo great a maker is it then if we be obſcured, and our good parts not ſo noticed?Perſ. Ʋſ que adeone ſcire tuum nihil eſt, &c? Chriſt was content his treaſures ſhould be hid. In maxima ſui mole ſe minimùm oſtendunt ſtellae.

All the treaſures of wiſdome] Out of Chriſt then there is no true wiſdome or ſolid comfort to be found. The depth faith, It is not in me, and the ſea ſaith, It is not ith me, Job 28.14. The worlds wizards cannot help us to it, Ier. 8.9. Neſcio quomodò imbecillior eſt medicina quam morbus, ſaith Cicero concerning all Philoſophicall comforts: The medicine is too weak for the diſeaſe.
