Than weapons of war; than armed power. Sinner; a wicked fool; by which expression and opposition of a sinner to a wise man he gives us a key to understand his meaning in divers places of his books, that by wisdom he means true piety, and by folly wickedness; and withal, showeth that sin, as it is the greatest folly, so it is more pernicious to men than mere folly properly so called. Destroyeth much good; by his wicked counsels and courses brings much damage and mischief, both to himself and others.
