First, For the Supposition, which is double. First, If you know: This word Knowledge in Scripture, contains two things:
1. It intimates an act of the mind or understanding, if you know. 2. It imports an act of the memory, or retentive faculty of the soul, if you so know as to remember. From both these significations, you have these two observations: 1. Our first great care should be this, With all seriousness to apply our selves to the knowledge of the things of the Gospel. We must with the Angels [Greek or Hebrew], stoop down to look into, to have a clear, through, perfect sight of those things that are discovered in the Crystal Glass of the Gospel. We must look into the perfect Law of Liberty, James 2.25. 2. As the Word imports an act of memory, or remembrance, it affords us this Observation, viz. Next to our knowing of it, should be our care to retain and remember the glorious Truths of the Gospol. It is all one, not to remember, as not to know. We must not only attend to Wisdoms ⟨image 165⟩words, but must keep them in the centre of our hearts, Prov. 4.21.
