CHAP. VIII. God incomparable in his Attributes, in his Knowledge and Faithfulness.
5. God is incomparable in his Knowledge: Knowledge is that Attribute of God, whereby he understandeth all things in and of himself. He is styled in the Scriptures, 1 Sam. 2.3. A God of Knowledge: The Lord is a God of Knowledge, and by him Actions are weighed. As Christ is called a Man of Sorrows, Isa. 53.3. To express the greatness of his Griefs, to denote him one made up of Sorrow; little else then Sorrow: So God is called a God of Knowledge, to ⟨p. 77⟩express the greatness of his Knowledge; as if he were wholly, and only Knowledge. Hence he hath Eyes and Ears attributed to him, because he knoweth all that is done as an Eye-witness, and whatsoever is spoken as an Ear-witness, 2 Chron. 16.9. Psal. 11.7.
