and if Gods wisdome in the least creatures be past finding out how much more in the mattter and mistery of mans predestination and redemption Or who hath giuen vnto him first and he shal be recompensed God is debter and beholding vnto no man and no man can alledge any seruice worke or study whereby he bindeth God to himselfe or should moue him to elect preserue and redeeme and glorifie him Isa. 16.2 Luke 17.9 10. Reason hereof No man can ad any thing to God for all that we haue we receiue it onely from Gods mercy and we depend vpon his goodnesse for it Psa. 16.2.23 2. Reason Gods power will and decree is free and absolute and hath no respect or relation to any thing from without his essence whatsoeuer Rom. 9.15 1. Vse If God should for our correction or triall depriue bereaue vs of wife children health liuelihood goods houses as he did his good seruant Iob we must stay and comfort our selues herein for all these thinges are Gods they were giuen vs by him and therefore they are not ours and he alone may iustly doe with his owne what seemeth good to his diuine will and pleasure 2. Vse Here all humaine merits and fore-seene workes in the patriarkes and fore-fathers and their posterity are debarred from any mouing or procuring cause of GODS fauour and mercy declared vnto Iew or Gentile for of them-selues men can doe nothing that is good and therefore all proceedeth from Gods meere mercy Secondly in matter of reprobation none hath cause to be offended with God or to complaine of his proceedings for his power and authority is free and absolute and he supreme of al creatures and he may dispose of them as best seemeth good vnto his heauenly wisdome and he is not to render any reason of his doings to any Lastly the very Reprobates are ordained in Gods decree touching the euent to shew forth GODS glory as well as others for the glory of his Iustice shal be manifested in and vpon them For of him are all things In that all things haue their being creation and preseruation from God onely and so are of him directed ordered and gouerned we learne that he is God all sufficient both for himselfe and all his people and seruants and that not only for their temporall life and happines but much more for their regeneration redemption and eternall saluation Gen. 17.1 He is our Shepheard how then can we want any thing He hath Heauen and Earth at commaund and how then can his be destitute of that which is good for them he was perfect and complet in him-selfe before the creation and therefore his workes ad nothing to his owne nature and essence and to conclude he worketh all things both in wordly and spirituall matters according to the pleasure of his owne will only without any let or restraint Let vs therefore in no danger temptation and necessty be daunted and discouraged for our God whom we serue is able to saue and deliuer vs he knoweth how to proceed and he is a most faithfull creator and an indulgent father vnto vs only let vs betrust him with the ordering of our affaires and commend and betake our selues liues maintenance and affaires vnto his gratious disposition and he will neuer faile nor forsake vs. For him are all things Seeing that all things yea the very reprobate and all the workes and wonders of GOD are ordained to set forth the glory either of Gods mercy or of his iustice we must not in hidden things dispute and repine and expostulate with GOD but patiently submit all to his good will and Pleasure giue him the glory in all things Psa. 115.2 Luk. 17.16 2.
