And concerning the effectual knowing of the will of God out of his word, to believe all the forementioned privileges, that it is a peculiar gift of God to his elect, and that no other (no, not the greatest and most judicial clerks & divines) have it; that saying of our Saviour, is a plain and clear proof to his disciples: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom, 1but unto others not; that the prophecy of Isaiah may be fulfilled, In hearing they shall §Bhear and not understand, and seeing they shall see and not perceive; lest they should turn & I should save them. Whereby we may understand, that it is a singular prerogative to Gods children to have the effectual knowledge of the word of God, whereby they may see their liberties: which others cannot have.
