No knowledge of God.] The Septuagint turn this word Knowledge *by a word that signifies acknowledgement, there is no acknowledgement of God in the land. People should walk so in all their ways as to hold forth the glory of that great God they do profess. If they know God to be such as he is revealed in all his Attributes and works, they should in their lives (I say) so walk as to hold forth this before the children of men. I appeal to you in this: Perhaps some of you can ⟨p. 34⟩speak concerning God, and tell us what God is, and concerning his Attributes, yet are your lives in your families, in your conversations, so as that one beholding them may see written the glorious Attributes of God upon them, that you hold forth these glorious Attributes, that in all your ways you carry with you the glory of the great God holding forth your fear of this God, your love of this God, and giving up your selves to this all-sufficient God who is worthy of all. There should be thi• acknowledgement of God as well as knowledge, and God hath a controvers••e with a land with a-family, with a particular soul when there is not an acknowledgement of God in their ways.
