Do not hide your ignorance from Christ (John Brown of Wamphray)

[Reformed Covenanter]

For this is Christ’s work to instruct the ignorant, to open the eyes of the blind. Why then are we so foolish, as to conceal our ignorance from him, and to hide our case and condition from him: and why doth not this commend Christ's School to us so much the more? why do we not carry as ingenuous scholars, really desirous to learn?

John Brown of Wamphray, Christ, the way, and the truth, and the life. Or, A short discourse pointing forth the way of making use of Christ for justification and especially and more particularly for sanctification in all its parts, from Johan. XIV: vers. VI. Wherein several cases of conscience are briefly answered, chiefly touching sanctification (Rotterdam: John Cairns, 1677), p. 9.

A guy that I used to study with once told me that his grandfather was a Presbyterian minister. I asked him "What was his name?" To which I received the answer, "John Brown." I replied, "Well, that narrows it down."

There have been a fair lot of John Browns: All the John Browns.
