The knowledge of God, Our selves.
Get the knowledge of God; for they that know him will seek to him: they that know his riches, his power, his sufficiency; in a word, his all-sufficiency for all things, they will seek to him. And they that know themselves; that know their wants, their inability to supply those wants, and know the greatness of those wants, and that they must be supplied, they will out of themselves. They that have nothing at home will seek abroad. The knowledge of these two therefore: of the great God, the all-sufficient God; and of our selves, the unsufficiency of our selves every way, either for direction, or for protection, […] for comfort in distress, or for strength in […] tie to go through business; or for issue when we are about any thing, They that know that the way of man is not in man, as Jeremiah saith, they would certainly out of themselves. Therefore let us grow in the knowledge of God, and of our selves, of our own wants and necessity.
