They that are ledde by humane reason will rather say, blessed are the rich, for theirs are the kingdoms of the world: But Christ here speaks the flat contrary; saying, blessed are the poore, for theirs is the kingdom of heauen, which is infinitely better then all the kingdoms of the world: whereby we may see that the wisdome of this world is foolishues with God, and the ordinarie conceit of man, flat opposite to the sauing doctrine taught by Christ.
