Not to consult with Gods secrets, but his revealed word. [ 1281]

IT was a good saying of Mr. Bradford, that famous Martyr of Christ Iesus: That a Man should not go to the University of Predestination,* 1.1 untill he were well grounded in the Grammer-school of obedience and Repentance: And most sure it is, that we are not to consult with Gods secret decrees, but with his revealed Word; Secret things belong to the Lord our God, but revealed things to us and our Children for ever,* 1.2 Deut. 29. 29. We are not to look to the decrees of God, and upon them, ei∣ther do or not do our duty; but we are to look to his revealed will, which bids us to be conversant in holy duties of Religion and Godlinesse; We are not to search the secret Records of Heaven, but the revealed will of God, which is able to make us wise to salvation.
