Ch 117
The senses - he argues /“quotes” they are end all and be all of knowledge. But since we cannot smell justice i do not hold this position.
Intriguing he also speculates about senses unknown to us, citing animals that are missing a sense , maybe we are missing something beyond the basic 5. I definitely believe that our 5 senses cannot possibly define the entirety of existence.

Ch 56 of prayers
about the reformation and providing the holy Gospel in the common vernacular, Montagne holds that it does not improve mankind’s lot – if they didn’t understand it before why would they understand it now?
I disagree : making it more available can only bring about good. He leaves out the possibility of God working in the reader’s life and understanding.
