蓋按天主之上智、世俗之智、既不足以認識天主、故天主甘用若愚之道以救信眾。

蓋世既依上帝之智、而自恃己智不識上帝、故上帝喜以若愚之道救諸信者、

世人恃其智、不識上帝、故上帝喜以若愚之道、救諸信者、斯上帝之智也、

世既以智不識天主、則天主喜以宣道之愚、救諸信者、此乃天主之智也、

當時主感於聖神、不勝忻愉曰：『偉哉聖父！天地之主！爾令世之智者昧於妙道、而獨啟迪赤子之心。父乎、是誠爾之美意。

而於蒙召之人、無論其國籍之為猶太或希臘、則為天主之德能與神慧也。

爾時耶穌又言曰：『頌揚聖父、天地真主！蓋爾隱此道於智巧之人、而啟之於赤子；

若輩既冥頑不靈、心棄天主、則天主亦愛莫能助、於是聽其昧心恣行、

不惟世人、即天上之爵權諸品天神、亦有賴於教會、始得窺見天主神妙不測之智慧，

蓋自有世以來、天主形而上之神性靈德、實可憑其所造之萬物而辨認洞見也。然則世人亦烏得而推諉乎？夫既知有天主矣乃又不以天主事之、而頌詠稱謝焉；復因鑿空蹈虛、流連忘返、以致其冥頑之心、淪於重昏。若輩自誇明哲、轉成下愚；

嗚呼、天主之聰明睿知、不亦淵淵其淵乎哉！孰能測其思維、探其跡蹤耶？
