1. Jesus Christ is very willing to teach us. Why else did he enter into the Calling of the Ministry? but to teach the Mysteries of Heaven, Matth. 4.23. Jesus ⟨p. 99⟩went about teaching and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of diseases among the people. Why did he take the Office Prophetical upon him? why was Christ so angry with them that kept away the Key of Knowledge? Luke 11.52. why was Christ anointed with the Spirit without measure, but that he might anoint us with Knowledge. Knowledge is in Christ, as Milk in the Breast for the Child. O then go to Christ to Teach! None in the Gospel came to Christ for sight, but he restored their eye-sight. And sure Christ is more willing to work a cure upon a blind Soul, than ever he was upon a blind Body.
