The Ignorance of the Natural Man
1 Corinthians 2:13-14
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches…


"Suppose," says an old divine, "a geometrician should be drawing outlines and figures, and there should come in a silly, ignorant fellow, who, seeing him thus employed, should laugh at him; would the artist, think you, leave off his employment because of his derision? Surely not; for he knows that his laughter is hut the fruit of his ignorance, as not knowing his art, and the ground upon which it goes: and therefore he holds on drawing, though the fellow should hold on laughing."
