SECT. IV.
4. HEre is presupposed,* 1.1 a knowledg of the true ultimate End, and its excellency; for so the motion of the Rational Creature proceedeth:* 1.2 An unknown end, is no end; it is a contra∣diction. We cannot make that our end, which we know not, nor that our chief End, which we know not, or judg not, to be the chief Good. An unknown Good moves not to desire or endeavor. Therefore where it is not truly known, That God is this End, and containeth all good in him, there is no obtaining Rest.
