It was their duty before the word was written, and it is a duty still. The works of God are to be studied and read over as well as his word, Deut. 4.20. & 32. Ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon earth; and ask from one side of heaven to another, enquire every way to see whether ever God dealt with a people, as he hath dealt with thee, whether God did ever assay to take to himself a Nation from the middest of another Nation by temptations, and by signs, and by wonders, &c. Enquire this of all the former times. So, Deut. 32.7. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations, ask thy father and he will show thee, thy Elders and they will tell thee. The Psalmist promises to rehearse what these were enjoined to record, Psal. 78.3, 4. I will open my mouth in a parable, I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. Our speaking of, and enquiring into, what God hath done, shows the harmony between his word and works. And the former providences of God are food for our faith, as well as the promises of God.
