other_o side_n if_o there_o be_v a_o providence_n in_o this_o world_n and_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n observe_v how_o man_n carry_v themselves_o towards_o he_o it_o must_v speak_v his_o intention_n to_o reward_v and_o punish_v hereafter_o in_o proportion_n to_o such_o observation_n for_o otherwise_o that_o providence_n will_v be_v fruitless_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n it_o will_v be_v a_o mere_a matter_n of_o vain_a curiosity_n and_o a_o needless_a trouble_n to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n as_o the_o epicurean_o object_v but_o now_o that_o god_n do_v exercise_v such_o a_o providence_n in_o this_o world_n as_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v reasonable_o presage_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v i_o think_v will_v abundant_o appear_v by_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o call_v prophecy_n or_o prediction_n of_o thing_n before_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o can_v be_v without_o a_o providence_n 2._o there_o have_v be_v miracle_n which_o can_v not_o be_v without_o the_o divine_a interposition_n 3._o there_o be_v frequent_a though_o not_o altogether_o miraculous_a instance_n in_o all_o age_n of_o a_o divine_a presence_n in_o and_o influence_n upon_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n 1._o world_n first_o i_o ground_n the_o assertion_n of_o a_o providence_n in_o this_o present_a world_n upon_o the_o prophecy_n and_o prediction_n of_o thing_n beforehand_o which_o have_v be_v verify_v by_o real_a effect_n in_o their_o respective_a time_n and_o season_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o whosoever_o be_v able_a certain_o to_o foretell_v thing_n before_o they_o be_v must_v see_v through_o all_o the_o series_n of_o cause_n which_o produce_v such_o event_n especial_o if_o he_o define_v also_o the_o precise_a time_n and_o other_o circumstance_n of_o the_o accomplishment_n but_o above_o all_o whoseover_o shall_v declare_v beforehand_o not_o only_o what_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o natural_a and_o necessary_a cause_n but_o also_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v casual_a and_o contingent_a or_o subject_n to_o the_o choice_n and_o indifferency_n of_o free_a and_o voluntary_a agent_n must_v have_v a_o mighty_a reach_n with_o he_o and_o make_v a_o very_a curious_a and_o accurate_a inspection_n into_o the_o conjunction_n and_o conspiracy_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o into_o their_o particular_a nature_n tendency_n and_o inclination_n for_o as_o every_o effect_n must_v have_v its_o cause_n before_o it_o can_v be_v so_o the_o prediction_n of_o such_o effect_n must_v depend_v upon_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o those_o respective_a cause_n which_o be_v pregnant_a of_o it_o therefore_o if_o there_o ever_o have_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o prophecy_n there_o be_v a_o providence_n now_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n or_o that_o there_o have_v be_v certain_a and_o punctual_a prediction_n of_o thing_n long_o before_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v be_v the_o constant_a belief_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o he_o that_o deny_v it_o must_v give_v the_o lie_n to_o the_o great_a and_o best_a part_n of_o mankind_n you_o may_v remember_v that_o tully_n pursue_v this_o argument_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr divinatione_fw-la and_o he_o there_o give_v too_o many_o and_o too_o remarkable_a instance_n of_o it_o to_o be_v deny_v or_o elude_v but_o i_o shall_v choose_v to_o set_v before_o you_o only_o two_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o this_o purpose_n for_o though_o i_o perceive_v you_o
