John8:55

55 Yet ye have not known him , but I know him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like to you: but I know him, and keep his saying .

Knowing here signifies more than a notional knowledge, or comprehending in our understanding so much of God, as may by Natural Powers be comprehended. It signifies affections, and a conversation suitable to such a knowledge

But I (saith our Saviour) fully and perfecty know him, both as to his Essence, Counsels, and Will, and am fully obedient to him.

Marginal references: Chap. 7.28, [illegible: 1 letter]9.
