Note.
First, There's nothing worth our knowing, but that which is good.
Whatsoever hath a moral, or a spiritual good in it, is worthy to be known; the truths, the works, the ways of God, are the most desirable good things to be studied and known (Psal: 4.6.) There are many will say, who will show us any good? What's their good? Corn, wine, oil, gold, silver, houses, lands, &c. these are their good, and these are all their good; but though a godly man knoweth that these are good things, and blesseth God for any portion in them; yet that which he call's his good, and the good, is of a higher nature; We commonly call worldly things our goods, but we mis-call them if we call them our good. The Favour of God is our good, grace is our good, faith and love and hope and righteousness are good above all, God himself is good, and to know and enjoy him in Christ through the Spirit is our chiefest good here, and will be all our good hereafter. Let us know what is good.
