By that saying of our Saviour Christ, Joh. 17. 3. This is life everlasting (which is the reward of Christian Religion) that they may know thee to be the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent: where he meaneth not a bare contemplative knowledge, but a thankful acknowledging, which comprehendeth all Christian duties, consisting in faith and obedience; for he that being void of the fear of God, which is the beginning and chief point of ⟨p. 4⟩knowledge, Prov. 1. 7. abideth not in God, but sinneth: dwelleth in darkness, who hath neither seen God, nor known him, 1 Joh. 3. 6.
