Ndw'God
knows

without

io
we

as'we

it's

The
reafon
is
this,
hecaufc
if
eve
faw any
thing: but
'Gods
beein,,
that
would be btit
a
creature
;
Wh
tfoever

glorious thing that
can be,
that
God
thoul,;
ret.
`prefelit the moil
glorious
fight
that
can
be imagin'd,
yet if
ip
be
not Gods beeing
and
etlence,
It's
but
a
creature,
and
if
a
creature,
then
it
cannot
be
the
ob;e&&
of
mans
happineiè
;
It's
impo'trble
for
a
man to
be
happy
by
the tight
of
that
that
is
not
God
:
Now if there
be
any
thing
Intervet
ing,fo
as
we fee that
that God
cloth,
but more out of
himfelfe,
and
no: himïelk.
;
I
fay,
we cannot be happy, for
it
Would
follow
then
that
mans
happinelre
confihled in a
creature
;
no
therefore, we'fhallfee
him
as
he
is
:
Chrii} faith,
Thát
he
Dhows
the
Father,aa
t-
hiF.i-
ther
knows
him
:
he
Both
not
speak of
himièlfe
as
he
is
fecond
perlon
in
Trinity,
but
as
he
is
God
-man
:
So
he
knows
the Fa-
ther
as
the Father
knows him
:
So
that
by
that
you may
fee,
that
even
a
finite
creature
is
capable
of
fuch
a
knowledge, of
the
knowledge
of the
very beeing
of God
:
You cannot com-
prehend
it
becaufe
it's
In
nite
;
and
ii
it
had not been
revea-
led
to
us in
the Scriptures,it
had been impoifìble
for us
to
have
conceived that
a
Finite Creature
could
be hupol}atically uni-
ted to
an
Infinite
;
but
when
the Scripture makes
that out to
us, that
that
which
is
Pintas
the
foule and body
of Chrili
is,
can
be
fo
united to
an Infi
tte.
This cleerely holds
forth
thus
much
to
us,
that
the nature
of
Man
is
capable
of
another
man-
ner of
revelation of
God,
and union
with
God,
then
poiiibly
by
Reafon
can be
underftóod. The
Saints in

fl-all

fiil'd
with
Gods prefence,íhall
