e.g., crucial to countrg the power of Catholicism in 15th c. Europe, Calvin, in his preface to the Institutes, chose to address the earthly king of France as powerful himself relative to (perhaps acceptnc/rejection of) God's will, not (as) unwise in any sense..to intimidate him would've indicatd that powerful Reformers perceived the king as too dense to become a Christian (like them)..a better way? (since) Calvin's global interst originated with concern for France/Frenchmen..the Institutes were not written to condemn the Fr king or his ppl as (e.g.) too stupid to admin the nation macrocosmically as, e.g.,  Calvin'd wanna admin his own baliwick microcosmically relative to th KoG...that'd be like the citizen-tail waggin' the emporer-dog; again, by virtue of common sense, not wise

myth [evn common sense says wisdom is wisdom--some human thoughts and correspondg acts ain't wise, some is; e.g., do you realize that while it is true (as even handedly corroboratd, e.g., by both MShields and DBrooks last night on pub tv) that GBush lied abt the post 9-11 situation in Iraq to garner public support for the ongoing presence of the Am military and business in Iraqi society, his leadrshp of Am ppl ain't wise--common sense--howevr, while he tells the truth abt his admin of the US govt, his ldrship is wise--also common sense]

There are two kinds of wisdom..the kind the world works on is not

the kind that comes from God.
