And it's the Answer to that Question, 1 Cor. 2. and last, Who hath known the mind of the Lord? q. d. None can pry into the Ark of his Privy Counsel, which ⟨p. 403⟩hath been from everlasting: and therefore he ads, We have the mind of Christ. He that hath Christs mind, may know Gods mind, for he is Privy to it. Luke 10.21. I thank thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto Babes; even so, O Father, because it seemed good in thy sight: no man knows who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. It must be from the Revelation of Christ, that any come to the right knowledge of the Father, John, 1.18. No man hath seen God at any time; but the only begotten Son, who came out of the Bosom of the Father, he hath revealed him, that is, those Bosom Affections of his Fatherly Love.
