EXPLICATION.
1. Not but that much of Gods Will is also contained in the Law of Nature; or may by the mere use of Reason be learned from Creatures, and Providences: But yet this is nothing against the Scriptures sufficiency and perfection: For besides all the superadded Positives, the Scripture also contains all that which we call the Law of Nature; and it is there to be found more legible and discernible than in the best of our obscure, deceitful, corrupted hearts.
