1In that Christ saith, They were blind, though they had knowledge; we may learn, that all knowledge is but mere ignorance before God, to those persons that know not themselves, and God to be their God in Christ For want hereof Christ calleth the angel of this church blind ▪ though otherwise he were a very learned man. Which must teach us, not to rest content with any humane learning, no not with the literal knowledge of the Gospel, but we must labour further to know our selves, and to know God in Christ, & Christ our redeemer: and be able in some good sort to discern between things that differ. David a most worthy Prophet intituleth the 32. Psalm, his Learning. What learning showeth he there? Answ. Surely nothing but the knowledge of the pardon of his sins. And indeed that is it, which seasoneth all our learning: and therefore above all things we must labour for it.
