Jeremiah10:14

Ver. 14. Every man is brutiſh in his knowledge] Or, Every man is become more brutiſh then to know: That was therefore an hyperbolical praiſe given by Philoſtratus to Apollonius, Non doctus ſed natus ſapiens, that he was not taught but born a wiſe man: See Job 11.12. Rom. 1.22. with the Notes. Every man is become brutiſh, for want of knowledge (ſo the words may be rendred) the heathen idol-makers eſpecially; Bruteſcit homo prae ſcientia, ſo Vatablus 1. Every man is brutiſh, in compariſon of knowledge, viz. of Gods knowledge, whil'ſt he goeth about to ſearch into the cauſes of rain, lightening, wind, &c. which God only underſtandeth.
