1 There was in our Saviour an experimental knowledge, by which our Saviour knew all things could be known by the light of Nature: and though he had not experience of all things, yet by reasoning from the like, or the contrary, or from the causes or effects, he perceived things he had not experience of. As by the infirmities he felt, and by the things he suffered, he knows all the things we suffer in the full nature of them, Heb. 2. 18. & 4. 15. and in this kind of wisdom it is that he was said to grow up in, or profit and increase in, and in this kind of wisdom he was able to discern more then any man in the world.
