Christ and his disciples knew the art of sowing corn on divers grounds,¹ of fishing, of buying a field where a Pearl is, and this knowledge did not hinder, but much contribute to the spiritual knowledge of the mysteries of the Gospel, nor is the literal sense of the scripture, in the Saints, distinct from the Spiritual, but it is the same with two sundry lights and evidences, as with the same eyes, and seeing faculty I read the book of God in the night with candle light, and in day-light with the sunlight, then none can say I have for that two divers or contrary Bibles, and so the capacity natural that makes me see and know, Jesus to be the saviour of the world, literally, is heightened indeed with a real removal of spiritual blindness, and a real addition of a new distinct, higher supernatural visive faculty, the Spirit of revelation: but I see with this new faculty, the same Jesus the saviour of sinners, not another▪ but with a light and a sun-shine and day-light raying of a far higher nature, then I saw before. But this proposition, Mary's son Jesus is the saviour of the world ▪ hath no new different sense and meaning, nor founds it another new objective Christ different from that Christ objected before to the literal or natural visive capacity or humane understanding only the proposition shines with the same very sense now, as before, but now it is seen with a higher day-light irradiation and splendour, and apprehended with the same natural, literal understanding, the same humane vital and created faculty, to which is added a new real power, a new visive heavenly capacity to see the same Jesus in his beauty and glory, nor yet get I two natural understandings, nor can the scripture have two senses.
