Again, Omniscience is an Incommunicable Property of the great God There are some men that know a great deal, that have very enlarged Understandings, and Angels know much more than they; but none of them knows all things: none of them has an Infinite Under standing; that is proper to the great God, Psal 147.5 Great is the Lord, his Understanding is infinite. But this must be affirmed of Christ, that he knows all things, as Peter confessed to him, Joh. 21.17 Lord (says he) thou knowest all things. To see what ever is in the hearts of men, is peculiar to the great God: 1 King. 8.39 Thou only knowest all the Hearts of the Children of men. And yet this is to be said concerning Christ: He knows how the hearts of men stand inclined and affected; He knows what ever is there. There is not a thought in the heart, but it is known unto Him. The Son of God has Eyes like to a flame of Fire. Rev. 2.23 He Searches the Reins and Heart: therefore he is the great God. That is the Third Demonstration.
