First, We know not, that is, we take no notice of them. God doth great things, and we are very backward to consider them.
Secondly, We know not, that is, he doth such great things, that let us consider and study them as long as we will, let us break our brains to find out the greatness of them, yet we shall never find it out; He doth great things that we cannot comprehend.

Great things doth he, which we cannot comprehend.
