17. Chapter 17 [Isaiah] Those who place religion in nothing but knowing knowledges [scientia cognitionum], which is "Damascus." 2 1, 2 They are to be destroyed. 2 3 This [knowledge] will be serviceable to the new church. 11, 2 4-6 The knowledge of knowledges will then be rare, 11, 2 7, 8 but they are to be instructed by the Lord. 11, 2 9-14 Those who do not suffer themselves to be instructed by the Lord will lack all things, and will seize upon falsities for truths. 11, 2
