I begin with the Observation which Christ takes of their works in general, I know thy works. To whom this (I) relates we may read in the former verse. These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. A description which fits none but him, to whom all power in heaven and in earth is committed, Jesus Christ, God and man; I know. There is a twofold knowledge, first, simple. 2. Mixed. Simple ⟨p. 4⟩knowledge is the bare apprehension of the object, what it is. Mixed knowledge is that which carries along with it either pleasure or dislike, according as the object is, we apprehend. (Thy works) Works are of two sorts, Good or Bad, and in reference to either: works are taken sometime strictly as opposed to words, as opposed to thoughts: Sometime more largely, and so our words come in account among our works, and so our very thoughts are works; yea in a large sense, even things not done, nor spoken, nor thought may be numbered among our works.
