Acts14:17
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness
These words are to prevent that cavil, Why does God yet complain? And informs them, that tho God had not given them, nor their Ancestors, his Laws wrote in Tables of Stone, as he had given to the Iews; yet they had had the Law written in their hearts, which they had no[illegible: 1 letter] obeyed, tho Gods manifold Mercies, his Works of Creation and Providence had testified unto them, that he only was to be Feared and Worshipped. How many Witnesses hath God against sinful man, when every Creature and Providence speaks his Power, Wisdom, Goodness, &c. and call upon us to love and obey him? Every Creature tells us that God made it, &c.
