I could point you to a theological interpretation if that is your interest
(this is frowned upon in this forum so I will only mention it). In Reformed
theology this has been referred to as general revelation. Most of the
Reformed theologians understand it thus. Karl Barth, however, differs.

I would suggest that you might read it in the context of Ps. 19. I'm
inclined to think that would be the intention of 1 Clement.
