Their ignorance and want of knowledge, and his Omniscience, is another argument,1 which you have used in Isaiah 41.22, 23. and 44.7, 8.2 Let them bring them forth, and show what will happen, let them show the former things, what they be, &c. that we may know that you are gods. The meaning is this; that there are none other gods, that do declare former things, that tell of the beginning of the world, or of the creation, nor can declare things to come; I only can do it, I have not spoken in secret, but my prophecies are plain and open, I have spoken it, and I will bring it to pass. Therefore, I say, his omniscience and showing future things, doth testify, that there are no other gods besides him, seeing no other hath been able so to do.
