1. I say •hat soul which hath truly and savingly seen the Lord Jesus, hath been made sensible of his ignorance of him; I see him not, I have heard of him, and •ead of him, and taken his Name into my mouth, and professed him; and I believe others see him, and blessed are their eyes, but I see him not, John 9. 26, •7, 39. For […] I c•me into this world, and look as all the increase of the knowledge of Christ comes in by this door, so the beginning of it, and therefore those that have been cast down and he•rd of Christ a Saviour, but never felt their ignorance of him before they have apprehended him, their light is darkness, and their knowledge full of delusion and idolatrous.
