Sixthly, He knows all things everlastingly; all things are before him always. Some men quite lo•e the knowledge of many things which they have known, but all that God knoweth (which is all) abideth in the same clearness and fullness with him forever.
Sixthly, He knowes all things everlastingly; all things are before him alwayes. Some men quite lo•e the knowledge of many things which they have known, but all that God knoweth (which is all) abideth in the same clearness and fullness with him forever.
Seventhly, He knows all things as perfectly as if he had but one thing to know, therefore he is perfect in knowledge. We use to say of a man that hath a knowledge scattered upon many matters, or that is knowing in many Arts, and Trades, and businesses, we say, this man is something in every thing, and nothing in any thing; 1he hath no full knowledge of any one thing, his knowledge being divided upon or among so many things. But such is the perfection of Gods knowledge, that he knows all things as perfectly as if he had but one thing to know. To him that is infinite, one and all, is all one. And from hence (to close up the whole point and this verse) take these five inferences.
