But a godly man is [Greek or Hebrew], taught of God. 1 Joh. 2. 27. The anointing teacheth you all †things; that is, all things essential to salvation. A godly man hath the good knowledge of the Lord, 2 Chron. 30. 22. he hath sound wisdom, Prov. 3. 21. he knows God in Christ: to know God out of Christ, is to know him an enemy; but to know him in Christ is sweet and delicious. A gracious soul hath the savour of knowledge, 2 Cor. 2. 14. There is a great difference between one that hath read of a Country, or viewed it in the Map, and another who hath lived in the Country, and tasted the Fruits and Spices of it. The knowledge wherewith a godly man is adorned, hath these eight rare Ingredients in it.
