John3:32

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth , and no man receiveth his testimony .

Another great difference which the Baptist teacheth his Disciples to put betwixt his Testimony and Christs, is, That he, and so all other Ministers of the Gospel, testifie by Revelation; Christ testifieth not by Revelation, but from his own personal knowledge, what himself hath seen and heard from his Father, see Verse 11. where our Saviour had spoken to Nichodemus much the same. So Iohn 1.18. and 8.26. and 15.15. By these two terms is signified the most certain and infallible knowledge of those things which he testified, which made them worthy of all acceptation:

But yet very few received his Testimony, so as to believe in it, see Ioh. 1.11. and ver. 11. of this Chapter.
