I will reveal more of my self to him, and then I will set him on high, because he knows my Name, the Lord ha•h a hath account of those that know his Name: As for those ignorant creatures, let them be what they will in regard of outward things, yet if they be ignorant of God, they are vile and low, and base in Gods esteem; but take a soul that knows Gods Name, the Lord will set him on high; such a one is high in the very thoughts of God, and the Lord doth take pleasure to make such a soul to be high: Paul in Phil. 3.8. did account all things dung and dross (for what?) for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ: For indeed in the knowledge of Christ, God is known; and if you would study the knowledge of God, it must be in Christ, you can never know God but in Christ, Matth. 11.27. saith Christ there, No man knows the Father but the Son, and him to whom the Son shall reveal him. It must be Christ that must reveal the glory of God to our souls, or else we can never come to know him savingly.
