(1.) For Scire. The new Nature partly consists in the internal Light of the Mind, by which we understand the things of God revealed in the Scriptures concerning our Duties and Privileges: and so the Unction is said to teach us all things. 1 Joh. 2. 20. That is, all things which belong to our necessary Duty and Happiness. God's Children in necessary things ⟨p. 199⟩have a good Understanding; or, as it is said, Isa. 11. 3. They are quick of Understanding in the fear of the Lord. By this it doth warn us of our danger, mind us of our duty upon all occasions.
