Lect. 99.

Motives to seeke knowledge, 1 The mat∣ters we are exhorted to get knowledge in, concerne all, one as well as another, for 1 all challenge an equall interest in God, & there∣fore it concernes one as well as another to know him, & his will, p. 492. 2 all Gods peo∣ple have equall interest in the holy Scripture, one as much as another, and therfore it con∣cernes all to be well acquainted with them, and expert in them, p. 493.
2 Great is the necessity and benefit of knowledge and great is the danger and mis∣chiefe of ignorance, for 1 knowledge is a du∣ty commanded, a grace highly pleasing to God, and such as hath a promise of blessing; Ibid. Whereas ignorance is a sin, which much grieveth and provoketh God: yea such a sin as he hath revealed his wrath from heaven a∣gainst, by judgements both corporall, spiritu∣all, and eternall, p. 494.
2 Knowledge is a comfortable signe of a mans election, and that hee is in covenant with God, and that his heart is upright, pag. 495. Whereas ignorance is a signe of repro∣bation, and that one still remaines under the power of Sathan, and hath a wicked and naughty heart, p. 496.
3 He that hath knowledge will bee con∣stant in religion, and not be corrupted by any seducers whereas hee that is ignorant, will easily bee drawne away from the truth hee professeth, Ibid.
4 He that hath knowledge walketh bold∣ly and comfortably in all his waies, whereas hee that is ignorant, must needs bee full of doubts, and feares, p. 497.
