2. In particular, he Guides and leads men to the embracing particular Truths and to the walking in, and up,1 unto them, Christ promised to give him to us for this end; namely to lead us into all Truth.

You have an Unction from the holy one (or, ye have received the Spirit from the Lord Jesus) and you shall know all things: why so? because it is his work to Guide and Lead you into all the things, whereof I am a speaking; And more fully v: 27.
