2. That Christ is
the Wisdom of God; and concerning the sacrament of His incarnation and
of His passion, and cup and altar; and of the apostles who were sent,
and preached.
In Solomon in the Proverbs: “Wisdom
hath builded herself an house, and she has placed under it seven
pillars; she has slain her victims; she hath mingled her wine in the
goblet, and hath made ready her table,
3938
and hath sent her servants, calling
with a loud announcement to the cup, saying, Let him who is foolish
turn to me: and to them that want understanding she has said,
Come, eat of my loaves, and drink the wine which I have mingled for
you. Forsake foolishness, and seek wisdom, and correct knowledge
by understanding.”

[The house = the Church; the seven pillars =
Isa. xi. 2, 3
; her table = the Lord’s table; her
cup = the sacrament of the Blood; her loaves = of the Body. Then
her servants = preachers. So old authors.]
