The Great Secret of Godliness That the Excellency of the Power may be of God
“The deity delights in stimulating the intellect of his creatures. In revealing himself, therefore, to them, he manifests himself mysteriously. ‘It is the glory of Elohim’ says Solomon, ‘to conceal a word, but it is the glory of kings to search out the word’.A word is concealed when it is enigmatically expressed; and it is the glory of those whom God has chosen for his kings in the future Government of the world, to search out the wisdom he hath hidden from the wise in their own conceit” Phanerosis pg 39
