John Trapp on Isaiah 29:12

Ver. 12. And the book is delivered to one that is not learned] Heb. knoweth not to read. By the learned is meant, ſay ſome, the Rulers in Church and State: by the unlearned, the common people: all were in a pickle. Nicodemus had oft read in this our Prophet, in Ezekiel, and elſewhere, of Regeneration, though not under that term; but how little he underſtood of it, ſee Joh. 3. And what a buzzard is Bellarmine himſelf in ſome ſuch fundamentals as whereof it is a ſhame for a very child to be ignorant? I muſt needs confeſs, ſaid a learned Papiſt to the Biſhop of Cavaillon, that I have often been at the ſchools of Sorbon in Paris, where I have heard the Diſputations of the Divines,Act. & Mon. 865. but yet I never learned ſo much as I have done by hearing theſe young children at Merindol poſing one another before the Biſhop about points of religion. The poor men of Lions in France were enlightened, when the great Doctors were blinded and beſotted in their ſuperſtitious Tenets and practices.
