2. Take this for an answer, that in Gods account, he knows most that doth most. He does not know most, that hath a great judgement to dive into and dispute about vain questions and niceties, but he is a knowing man in Gods account, that does walk answerably to that small measure of knowledge that he hath, as in Psal. 111. 10. A good understanding have all they 1that do thy commandments: God does not measure your knowledge by your questions and disputes, but by your practise, as in Jer. 22. 16. He judged the cause of the poor 2and needy, then it was well with him; was not this to know me, saith the Lord?
