1. Concerning the Gentiles he proves that they are so, from the light of nature, revealing a Deity to them, and his wrath against sin; the substance of his Law engraven in their hearts, and the testimony of their own conscience accusing them of the breach of that Law, so that they carry about with them & within them, both a Law whereby they are to be tried, so that they can not pretend ignorance, and a witness, who when time shall come, will give in such evidence against them, that they shall not be able to plead not guilty. Chap. 1. 18. to 2. 16.
