Doct. That loving Christians do discern the love that God hath to them, as well by knowledge as by faith.
Doct. That loving Christians doe discern the love that God hath to them, as well by knowledge as by faith.
We have known and believe the love that God hath to us, this love is wrapped up in the bosom of the Father, and no man can discern either love or hatred by any outward thing; but yet this love is manifested by faith and knowledge; faith and knowledge are both acts of the judgement, for both are Scientia axiomatis certi, the knowledge of a certain truth, for it is not divine Faith, unless it be of such a truth, Cui subesse falsum non potest.
