When he came to Preach the Gospel among the people then was this Scripture fulfilled, Matth. 11.27. Yea, all things are delivered him of his Father, so as no man knoweth who the Father is, but the Son, and be to whom the Son will reveal him. All light is now collected into one body of light, the Sun of righteousness; and he enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world, Joh. 1.9.
