He hath presented us the grace of god,1 from the which we were otherwise far of. He hath made us so familiar with god, that we know what is his everlasting counsel, without2 searching above our reach, that which is not lawful for us to enquire of. For when god will instruct us by his own proper mouth, we may not presume to wade so far as they which walk not under obedience: For it is a presumption to seek to know more than god will permit. But3 when we walk soberly and with reverence ⟨image 41⟩under the obedience of our God, giving audience & receive that which he uttereth in holy scripture, as I have already said,4 the way shall be made meet for us to wade through withal.
