“ And you that deny revelation now a-days, can any of you know Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, without the Son or the Father reveal him, which is in heaven? nay, and if ye say ear, are not you such, that are thieves and robbers, and climb up another way than by the door Christ? for Christ tells you, 'no man knows the Father, but by revelation,' and is not all your talking of Christ, but imagination, and the revelation of flesh and blood, that deny the revelation of the Son of God by his spirit. ”

“ So all that know this grace, they know how they received it by the revelation of Jesus Christ; for grace and truth comes by Jesus Christ, as the law did by Moses: and this is the grace that brings salvation, and which hath appeared to all men, and taught the saints, though many there be that turn this grace of God into wantonness, and walk despitefully against the spirit of grace, and set up a heap of teachers after their own lusts, from whence wars arise, and then say revelation is ceased in their day and time ”

“ And in Isa. xl. 1. 'who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?' now, can any know the arm of the Lord, and believe that report of him, but as it is revealed; and as it is revealed, they will know the powerful arm of the Lord, which we witness. ”
