The plague of man is the opinion of wisdom; and for this reason it is that ignorance is so recommended to us, by our religion, as proper to faith and obedience.[La peste de l’homme c’est l’opinion de sçauoir. Voyla pourquoy l’ignorance nous est tant recommandée par nostre religion, comme piece propre à la creance et à l’obeyssance.]
