O but now Christ makes known himself, his mind, his grace, his truth, to his people, in a more clear, full, familiar and friendly way, 2 Sam. 7. 27. For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant; so you read it in your Books: but in the Hebrew it is thus, Lord, thou hast revealed this to the ear ⟨p. 85⟩of thy servant. Now the emphasis lieth in that word, to the ear, which is left out in your Books. When God makes known himself to his people, he revealeth things to their ear, as we use to do to a friend, who is intimate with us, we speak a thing to his ear. There is many a secret which Jesus Christ speaks in the ears of his servants, which others never come to be acquainted with. 2 Cor. 4. 6. God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
