3. God proceeds by the evidence of the Law, as well as by the evidence of the fact; and this also sets forth the exactness of his judgement: These two things make judgement perfect; you must not only have the evidence of the fact, that such a thing is done, but you must have the evidence of the Law condemning such a deed. Though God himself be an everlasting Law, and he may judge all from his own breast; yet he hath given out a Law, which gives the knowledge of sin. It is said, Rom. 2. They that have sinned without the Law, shall perish without the Law, as if some should be judged without Law: but he means without a Law formally published, not materially enacted. For he speaks of the Gentiles, who were not within the hearing of Mount Sinai, and had not seen that formality of a Law written in tables of stone; yet they had a Law written in their hearts; They that have not heard the Law published or seen it written in a book, shall be judged by the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing them witness, and their thoughts accusing, or else excusing one another.
