And even in this same nation also, he hides these things from them who are most prudent and wise in their own eyes, and reveals them unto these who are simple and ignorant ones; for there be many, even amongst ourselves, who are living into the sink of idolatry and papistry, and are popishly affected. And yet the Lord, he not only reveals these things to us, but he is also so good that he is pleased to enter in a covenant with us. The excellency of this would not be so well known, if all were in such a case; but it is hid from many who are otherwise wise and prudent.
