Not after the same manner, nor in the same measure. But he that winked at the former times of ignorance, now commandeth all men every where to repent, Act. 17.30. This is the tenor of the new Covenant, Hebr. 8.11. I will write my Laws in their hearts: and they shall not teach one another, saying; Know the Lord: For all shall know me from the least to the greatest. As light, so the participation of Gods light is communicative: his will must be known on earth, that it may be done on earth: as it is known and done in heaven. Before, God was well known in Jury, and his Name was great in Israel; but the Heathen had not the knowledge of his Laws; much less of this Gospel, of his Christ. But now his way is known upon earth, and his saving health among all nations, Psal. 67.2.
