26. And therefore the action of God must not be
canvassed by human faculties; the Creator must not be judged by those
who are the work of His hands. We must clothe ourselves in
foolishness that we may gain wisdom; not in the foolishness of
hazardous conclusions, but in the foolishness of a modest sense of our
own infirmity, that so the evidence of God’s power may teach us
truths to which the arguments of earthly philosophy cannot
attain. For when we are fully conscious of our own foolishness,
and have felt the helplessness and destitution of our reason, then
through the counsels of Divine Wisdom we shall be initiated into the
wisdom of God; setting no bounds to boundless majesty and power, nor
tying the Lord of nature down to nature’s laws; sure that for us
the one true faith concerning God is that of which He is at once the
Author and the Witness.
