Secondly, I now come to the Bridegrooms Reply. Where note,
1. The Vehemency and Asseveration: Verily I say unto you. To cut off all further hope, his Answer is peremptory and decisive.
2. The Reply it self: I know you not. There is a twofold knowledge; Intuitive, and Approbative. (1.) By an Intuitive Knowledge, known unto the Lord from the beginning are all his Works, Act. 15.18. God had an Idea of all things in himself before he gave them actual Being: He knoweth all whom he conserves by his Providence. Every wise man knoweth what he hath. Christ knew that virtue went from him in the throng. (2.) But this Knowledge is here meant of the knowledge of Approbation, as we find it often in Scripture. Now Christs knowledge of his own people is threefold.
