1 They shall know GOD, with a perfect knowledge, 1so far as Creatures can possibly comprehend the Creator. For there we shall see; the Word, 2the Creator; and in the Word, all creatures that by the Word were created: so that we shall not need to learn of the things which were made; the knowledge of him by whom all things were made. 3The excellentest creatures in this life,4 are but as a dark ⟨p. 200⟩veil, 5drawn betwixt GOD and us: but when this veil shall be drawn aside; then shall we see GOD face to face, and know him as we are known.
