7. The imperfect knowledge of God which men have in this life, is of two sorts; one Christian, or Theological: the other Philosophical. That is received from the doctrine of the Prophets and Apostles: This from the principles and general rules naturally known unto men, and from the beholding of the works of God in the nature of things.

8. The Christian knowledge of God is also of two sorts: the one spiritual or true, lively, effectual, saving; the other literal. The spiritual is that knowledge of God and his will, which is kindled by the holy Ghost in our minds, according to the word, and by the word, working in the will and heart an inclination and desire more and more to know and do those things, which God commandeth so to be done. The literal is that knowledge of God, which either hath been in men from the creation, or is wrought in their minds, of the holy Ghost, by the word, which hath not accompanying it an endeavour and desire of framing, and conforming themselves unto the Commandments.
