god_n must_v needs_o know_v all_o because_o god_n do_v not_o concur_v with_o the_o creature_n ignorant_o or_o rash_o but_o with_o knowledge_n and_o counsel_n 3._o god_n must_v necessary_o know_v all_o

of_o any_o creature_n but_o god_n have_v decree_v it_o as_o it_o be_v a_o action_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o foreknow_v it_o there_o be_v not_o a_o thought_n in_o thy_o mind_n nor_o a_o word_n

again_o we_o may_v draw_v a_o reason_n from_o two_o instance_n 1._o that_o god_n know_v what_o every_o man_n do_v in_o public_a or_o secret_a may_v appear_v by_o the_o gripe_a accusation_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n bring_v to_o mind_v our_o old_a transgression_n act_v a_o great_a while_n since_o and_o it_o may_v be_v forget_v for_o a_o long_a time_n yet_o conscience_n have_v bring_v they_o to_o mind_n now_o who_o make_v conscience_n to_o consider_v and_o to_o call_v to_o mind_n bypass_a transgression_n but_o god_n who_o be_v great_a than_o our_o conscience_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o present_v these_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o conscience_n and_o what_o be_v the_o language_n of_o our_o conscience_n but_o god_n will_v judge_v thou_o for_o these_o thing_n 2._o again_o god_n manife_v the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o our_o counsel_n plot_n and_o secret_a device_n because_o he_o often_o turn_v the_o malicious_a counsel_n of_o devilish_a achitophel_n into_o their_o own_o shame_n and_o destruction_n it_o be_v god_n that_o know_v the_o thought_n of_o man_n to_o be_v vanity_n and_o turn_v their_o thought_n into_o vanity_n their_o wisdom_n into_o folly_n their_o mischievous_a plot_n into_o their_o own_o downfall_n and_o destruction_n he_o take_v the_o wise_a in_o their_o own_o craft_n god_n do_v reveal_v to_o david_n what_o the_o man_n of_o keilah_n will_v do_v to_o he_o and_o how_o saul_n will_v follow_v he_o to_o keilah_n and_o so_o disappoint_v they_o this_o be_v a_o most_o pregnant_a argument_n of_o god_n omnisciency_n when_o wicked_a man_n sit_v and_o take_v counsel_n together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o anoint_v god_n sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v 7._o because_o without_o knowledge_n of_o 7._o reas_n 7._o all_o

may_v be_v deceive_v and_o we_o may_v hide_v many_o thing_n from_o god_n god_n judgement_n be_v true_a do_v not_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n he_o will_v not_o know_v how_o to_o judge_v man_n either_o to_o eternal_a death_n or_o eternal_a life_n god_n judgement_n shall_v be_v perfect_o proportionable_a to_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a action_n of_o man_n how_o can_v he_o render_v proportionable_a vengeance_n to_o wicked_a man_n and_o render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v all_o particular_n god_n judgement_n will_v be_v public_a in_o respect_n
