ABSTRACT

IGnorance as Diuines doe testifie, is one of the plagues put vpon man the creature, for transgressing of the commaundements of God his creatour, from which we are to come, (as the patient from his disease) by degrees. Mans vnderstanding is likened by Aristotle to the eies of the Howlet in the day-light. Salomon sayth: Dedi cor meum vt scirem prudentiam, doctrinam, erroresq;, et stultitiam, et agnoui quod in his quoq; est labor et atflictio spiritus.2
