2. Christ knows their Hearts, as he testifies to the seven Churches in Asia; And all the Churches shall know that I am he that searcheth ¹the Reins and Hearts, &c. This shows he is the most High God; For who knoweth the Heart but God himself? This Jehovah glorieth in, as his own absolute Prerogative, it being out of the reach of any Creature; I the Lord search the Heart, I try the Reins. ²Moreover 'tis said of Jesus Christ, That he needed not that any should testify of Man, for he knew what was in Man. He needeth not any to bring him Information concerning the Principles, Ends, ³Aims, Purposes, and Tempers of Men; and therefore he knows his Sheep, his Saints, that they are sincere or upright-hearted Ones; he knows them from Hypocrites, from the Goats, from the foolish Virgins.
