Romans1:22
Verſe 22. Profeſſing themſelves to be wiſe] Aristotle, Natures chief Secretary, writeth many things moſt abſurdly concerning God: As,Metaphyſ. l. 12. that he is a living creature, That he worketh not freely,Ib. lib 1. Bodin. Theat. Nat p 29. but by a kinde of ſervile neceſſity; and that therefore he deſerveth no praiſe or thanks from men for his many benefits, ſith he doth but what he muſt needs do. Theſe are Aristotles abſurd aſſertions. And yet at Stuckard in Germany, was found a Doctour of Divinity that preached to the people, That the Church might be ſufficiently well taught and governed by Ariſtotles Ethicks, though we had no Bible: And the Collen Divines ſet forth a book, concerning Aristotles ſalvation.
