1 Knowledge, that's a thing requisite: Why? because if there be a Remedy able to cure a mans disease: if he do not know it, what is he the better for it? Knowledge is so essential unto Faith, that without it there can be no faith. In John 17.3. the terms are confounded, the one put for the other: This is life eternal, to know thee to be the true God, and whom, &c. ⟨p. 424⟩to know thee, that is, to believe in thee, because knowledge is so essential to belief, as one cannot be without the other: thou canst not believe what thou hast never heard of: I know, saith Job, that my Redeemer liveth, that is, I believe he liveth: and hereupon its said in Isa. 53. By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many: Knowledge is an Act primarily requisite to Faith? to be justified by his knowledge, is to be justified by faith in his blood; this then is the first thing, that I know it to be as true as Gospel: then comes the acknowledgement.
