GAR. Here indeed I also first profess that I prefer to believe that this is not the affected ignorance of which those speak in Job chapter 21 verse 14—'Depart from us; we do not want the knowledge of your ways'—rather than to foster some sinister opinion of the learned man. PLAC. What handle, I ask, did I give by those words for fostering a sinister opinion of me, or what is there in this modest and religious ignorance of mine, by which I refuse to be wise beyond Scripture, like to the abominable impiety of those criminals in Job?

Latin

GAR. Hic vero inprimis ego quoque profiteor, malle me credere, hanc non esse affectatam ignorantiam, de qua dicunt illi apud Jobum cap. 21. 14. Recede a nobis, scientiam viarum tuarum nolumus, quam sinistram aliquam de Viro docto opinionem fovere. PLAC. Ecquam quaeso verbis illis sinistram de me opinionem fovendi ansam praebui, aut quid est in mea ista modesta & religiosa ignorantia, qua nolo sapere praeter Scripturam, simile abominandae illorum apud Jobum sceleratorum impietati?
