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

but_o also_o by_o their_o perverseness_n and_o their_o pride_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o coloss_n who_o say_v that_o he_o who_o fall_v off_o from_o the_o service_n
