Not “not any,” just “not many”

The following quote appears to be passed down through tradition by the followers of Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon. I found it this way in one place.

1 Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

The Countess of Huntingdon: 

Blessed be God, it does not say “any mighty,” “any noble”; it says “many mighty,” “many noble.”

I thank God for the letter “m.” I owe my salvation to the letter “m.”

If it had been “not any noble,” where would the countess have been?
