— What, then, must they have thought of Jesus, when they perceived the plainness and sim- plicity of his discourses and instructions, which, in their opinion, bordered on foolishness ; which were so unlike those "words of man's " wisdom, " and so different from that osten- tatious display of knowledge, that sophistry and science, falsely so called, to which they had been accustomed in the schools of their philosophers ? They could not relish his meek and unaffected manners ; they could not ad- ...mire his discourses, which, plainly and sim- ply, explained the truth without study or or- nament ; they despised his moral instructions SERMON V. 105 which wanted the ah* and the abstraction of science, and which were suggested in the most niilural and easy manner by the objects around him, by the HHes of the field which grew un- der his feet, and by the fowls of heaven which flew over his head. Among the heathens, it must also be observed, crucifixion was a pun- ishment inflicted only on the vilest criminals ; and, consequently, they could scarcely be brought to give a hearing to men who began with declaring that thek Master died upon a cross.
