which_o two_o knowledge_n do_v answer_v the_o two_o tree_n which_o god_n first_o plant_v in_o paradise_n whereof_o one_o give_v the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o law_n the_o other_o do_v bear_v the_o fruit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o have_v three_o way_n of_o know_v god_n one_o by_o the_o work_n of_o god_n the_o second_o by_o the_o law_n the_o three_o by_o the_o gospel_n among_o which_o the_o knowledge_n by_o the_o gospel_n be_v far_o most_o excellent_a for_o the_o other_o two_o knowledge_n present_a god_n to_o our_o understanding_n as_o a_o creator_n a_o lord_n and_o as_o the_o master_n of_o our_o life_n but_o this_o as_o a_o father_n and_o redeemer_n the_o two_o former_a knowledge_n of_o god_n do_v teach_v what_o god_n be_v in_o himself_o but_o this_o latter_a what_o god_n will_v be_v towards_o we_o the_o former_a do_v strike_v fear_n and_o wonder_n into_o we_o the_o latter_a advance_v hope_n and_o creat_v love_n so_o that_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o the_o gospel_n the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o by_o his_o work_n be_v but_o a_o lazy_a speculation_n and_o the_o press_n of_o he_o by_o the_o law_n be_v terrible_a and_o do_v press_v our_o conscience_n with_o a_o burden_n unsupportable_a it_o seem_v not_o enough_o therefore_o to_o god_n to_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o creature_n who_o in_o throng_n as_o it_o be_v and_o by_o admirable_a consent_n give_v testimony_n of_o he_o but_o he_o have_v unlock_v his_o sacred_a mouth_n that_o by_o his_o word_n he_o may_v endue_v we_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o and_o by_o that_o knowledge_n inflame_v our_o love_n for_o by_o the_o architecture_n of_o the_o world_n the_o power_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v acknowledge_v but_o not_o his_o justice_n nor_o his_o mercy_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n also_o the_o work_n of_o god_n do_v witness_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o workman_n but_o they_o lay_v not_o open_a unto_o we_o his_o will_n nor_o deliver_v in_o what_o manner_n he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v beside_o when_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o creature_n do_v represent_v god_n unto_o we_o as_o he_o be_v arm_v with_o thunder_n and_o shake_a heaven_n and_o earth_n but_o with_o the_o turn_n of_o his_o eye_n this_o contemplation_n do_v affect_v we_o with_o astonishment_n with_o the_o fear_n and_o horror_n of_o a_o arm_a judge_n be_v there_o not_o another_o doctrine_n which_o do_v appease_v our_o conscience_n and_o give_v unto_o we_o assurance_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o then_o do_v we_o with_o filial_a eye_n behold_v heaven_n as_o the_o portal_n of_o our_o father_n palace_n when_o god_n in_o his_o word_n have_v give_v to_o we_o the_o evident_a testimony_n of_o his_o paternal_a love_n moreover_o we_o shall_v grow_v dark_a in_o the_o very_a contemplation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n do_v we_o not_o distinct_o see_v they_o by_o the_o word_n as_o through_o spectacle_n which_o of_o themselves_o will_v hardly_o be_v discern_v this_o do_v the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o 11._o heb._n through_o faith_n we_o understand_v that_o the_o world_n be_v frame_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v not_o make_v of_o thing_n which_o do_v appear_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o they_o only_o believe_v as_o they_o ought_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v without_o any_o preaexistent_a matter_n which_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o the_o
