That we should labour for a due knowledge of the true God, that we may know what we worship, and worship what we know, 1 Chron. 28. 9. Joh. 4. 22. & 17. 3. That this knowledge of God is to be had partly by his Works, namely, so much as may serve to convince man, and make him unexcusable, Rom. 1. 19, 20. Act. 14. 15. but most sufficiently by his Word contained in the holy Scriptures, which therefore are called his Testimonies, Psal. 119. 14. because they testify of God, Joh. 5. 39. what he is, and how he will be served of us.
