they_o grow_v in_o desire_n to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o they_o may_v be_v free_v from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n howbeit_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n signify_v most_o proper_o acknowledgement_n yet_o it_o be_v best_o render_v in_o this_o place_n as_o it_o do_v also_o signify_v knowledge_n for_o the_o compound_n word_n be_v use_v in_o scripture_n sometime_o as_o the_o simple_a and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o we_o read_v in_o luke_n 1.4_o that_o thou_o may_v know_v the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n signify_v that_o thou_o may_v acknowledge_v but_o it_o be_v better_a translate_v as_o the_o simple_a word_n that_o thou_o may_v know_v and_o so_o in_o this_o place_n in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o or_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o knowledge_n be_v not_o mean_v a_o bare_a literal_a knowledge_n as_o to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o that_o there_o be_v a_o christ_n and_o that_o this_o christ_n be_v lord_n of_o all_o and_o the_o like_a but_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o special_a

difference_n between_o that_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n of_o god_n which_o be_v mere_o literal_a and_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o save_v and_o the_o first_o difference_n be_v this_o save_a knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v knowledge_n join_v with_o save_v faith_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n 2._o tim._n 1.12_o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v knowledge_n and_o faith_n go_v together_o but_o literal_a knowledge_n be_v a_o bare_a notion_n in_o the_o brain_n without_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n for_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n all_o man_n have_v not_o

god_n commandment_n as_o appear_v in_o 1._o john_n 2.3.4_o and_o hereby_o we_o do_v know_v that_o we_o know_v he_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o but_o bare_a literal_a knowledge_n be_v not_o join_v with_o sound_a practice_n it_o can_v furnish_v a_o man_n with_o talk_n and_o vain_a glorious_a word_n but_o it_o leave_v he_o short_a in_o practice_n it_o can_v say_v well_o but_o it_o can_v do_v well_o it_o can_v frame_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o it_o deni_v the_o power_n 2._o timothy_n 3.5_o five_o true_a save_a knowledge_n be_v join_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n as_o appear_v in_o colos_n 1.6_o which_o be_v come_v unto_o you_o as_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o world_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n as_o it_o do_v also_o in_o you_o since_o the_o day_n you_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o know_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n whereas_o bare_a literal_a knowledge_n be_v always_o barren_a it_o be_v like_a to_o the_o curse_a fig_n tree_n it_o have_v leaf_n but_o it_o bear_v no_o fruit_n last_o true_a save_a knowledge_n be_v join_v with_o humility_n it_o make_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n more_o humble_a according_a to_o that_o in_o ecclesiast_fw-la 1.18_o for_o in_o much_o wisdom_n be_v much_o grief_n and_o he_o that_o

will_v easy_o appear_v whether_o it_o be_v save_v or_o deceitful_a whether_o it_o be_v spiritual_a or_o literal_a by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n hence_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v doctrine_n doctrine_n that_o the_o way_n to_o grow_v in_o sense_n &_o feeling_n of_o god_n favour_n to_o grow_v in_o grace_n in_o peace_n of_o conscience_n yea_o the_o way_n to_o attain_v victory_n against_o enemy_n and_o other_o temporal_a blessing_n it_o be_v to_o get_v save_v knowledge_n this_o be_v manifest_a because_o the_o apostle_n wish_v here_o grace_n and_o peace_n to_o be_v multiply_v by_o knowledge_n and_o how_o come_v paul_n to_o be_v rapt_v up_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n 2._o corinthian_n 12.4_o or_o john_n to_o be_v ravish_v in_o the_o spirit_n revelat._n 1._o but_o because_o revelation_n of_o

and_o the_o rule_n to_o be_v observe_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o knowledge_n be_v these_o first_o we_o must_v seek_v it_o of_o god_n by_o earnest_n praiet_fw-mi so_o say_v solomon_n proverb_n 2.3_o if_o thou_o cry_v for_o knowledge_n and_o lift_v up_o thy_o voice_n for_o understanding_n than_o thou_o shall_v understand_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o shall_v find_v the_o knowledge_n of_o

2.4_o if_o thou_o search_v for_o she_o as_o for_o silver_n etc._n etc._n three_o we_o must_v practice_v that_o which_o we_o know_v already_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o obtain_v more_o
