[Psal. 147.19, 20. He showeth his Words unto Jacob, his Statutes and his Judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any Nation; and as for his Judgments, they have not known them. Rom. 1.19, &c. That which may be known of God, was manifest in [among] them, [to wit, the Gentiles] for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible Things of him from the Creation of the World are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal Power and Godhead, so ⟨p. 65⟩that they are without excuse: Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, &c. Rom. 2.4. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance? Act. 14.16, 17. God in times past suffered all Nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us Rain from Heaven, and fruitful Seasons, filling our Hearts with Food and Gladness.]
