which we now feel bound to lay open or make public .
Thus ,
a man acknowledges a secret marriage ;
one who has done wrong acknowledges his fault ;
and author acknowledges his obligation to those who have aided him ;
we acknowledge our ignorance .
Recognize supposes that we have either forgotten or not had the evidence of a thing distinctly before our minds ,
but that now we know it (
as it were )
anew ,
or receive and admit in on the ground of the evidence it brings .
Thus ,
we recognize a friend after a long absence .
We recognize facts ,
principles ,
truths ,
etc .,
when their evidence is brought up fresh to the mind ;
as ,
bad men usually recognize the providence of God in seasons of danger .
A foreign minister ,
consul ,
or agent ,
of any kind ,
is recognized on the ground of his producing satisfactory credentials .
