eThe Lord is known by executing judgement. His power, his justice, his hatred of evil, his jealousy, his truth, his providence, and other his Divine attributes are evidently manifested in and by his judgements. By a due observation therefore of them, we have the more knowledge of God, and are brought the more to trust in him, and to fear him, to be more careful of pleasing him, more heedful in avoiding all things that may offend him. On this ground saith the Prophet, When thy judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.2

Behold here one especial reason of the small profit that is made of judgements which the Lord from time to time executeth ⟨p. 105⟩in the world, They are not regarded, but are passed over without any right observation of them.
