A86366	The voyce of Providence asserted, and the followers of God in the waies of His Providence justified in a letter sent by John Hinde to a minister in London, who denied the former and condemned the latter.	Hinde, John, 17th cent.	1653 (1653)	Wing H2055A; ESTC R42444	12,453	16

upon_o what_o ground_n upon_o a_o providential_a ground_n neither_o murmur_n you_o as_o some_o of_o they_o also_o murmur_v and_o be_v destroy_v of_o the_o destroyer_n now_o these_o thing_n be_v our_o

remember_v his_o people_n of_o his_o great_a providential_a work_v in_o the_o 41._o of_o isaiah_n 2._o and_o so_o on_o who_o raise_v up_o the_o righteous_a man_n from_o the_o east_n call_v he_o to_o his_o foot_n give_v the_o nation_n before_o he_o and_o make_v he_o rule_v over_o king_n he_o give_v they_o as_o the_o dust_n to_o his_o sword_n and_o as_o drive_v stubble_n to_o his_o bow_n he_o

i_o the_o lord_n the_o first_o and_o with_o the_o last_o i_o be_o he_o thus_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o god_n himself_o do_v use_v argument_n even_o from_o his_o providential_a work_v which_o certain_o testify_v to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v instruction_n and_o caution_n that_o be_v ground_v even_o upon_o the_o providentia●_n work_v of_o god_n now_o for_o your_o further_a satisfaction_n and_o conviction_n i_o shall_v instance_n in_o some_o case_n or_o occurrence_n wherein_o providential_a work_n may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o instruction_n and_o caution_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o to_o resolve_v exact_o as_o to_o every_o individual_a contingency_n or_o occurrence_n to_o every_o particular_a person_n or_o nation_n i_o confess_v be_v a_o knot_n beyond_o my_o ability_n to_o untie_v although_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a special_a lesson_n in_o every_o individual_a work_n of_o providence_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o cause_v or_o permit_v providence_n nevertheless_o there_o be_v seven_o case_n wherein_o unto_o i_o it_o seem_v unquestionable_a that_o the_o providential_a work_v of_o god_n shall_v either_o instruct_v or_o caution_n man_n or_o do_v both_o 1._o when_o the_o work_n of_o providence_n serve_v the_o word_n of_o precept_n questionless_a there_o instruction_n and_o caution_n be_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o providence_n when_o god_n express_o command_v a_o work_n to_o be_v do_v in_o his_o word_n whether_o of_o justice_n or_o mercy_n a_o work_n that_o reach_v unto_o such_o person_n who_o god_n call_v out_o for_o such_o a_o work_n and_o providence_n make_v way_n and_o point_n out_o the_o duty_n in_o give_v time_n and_o other_o occasion_n to_o act_v this_o duty_n that_o god_n now_o have_v put_v upon_o a_o man_n i_o think_v it_o be_v unquestionable_a to_o any_o christian_a that_o here_o be_v instruction_n or_o caution_n to_o be_v look_v upon_o now_o in_o providence_n and_o the_o neglect_n of_o a_o work_n of_o precept_n when_o providence_n have_v serve_v a_o occasion_n for_o the_o act_n of_o it_o it_o have_v cost_v man_n very_o dear_a as_o in_o ahabs_n case_n when_o benbadud_n by_o providence_n be_v fall_v into_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o 1_o of_o king_n 20.42_o and_o he_o spare_v he_o well_o say_v god_n because_o thou_o have_v let_v go_v out_o of_o thy_o hand_n a_o man_n who_o i_o appoint_v to_o utter_v destruction_n therefore_o thy_o life_n shall_v go_v for_o his_o life_n and_o thy_o people_n for_o his_o people_n which_o clear_o make_v out_o that_o a_o work_n of_o providence_n join_v with_o a_o word_n of_o precept_n be_v to_o instruct_v and_o order_v man_n because_o you_o grant_v this_o case_n and_o this_o only_a to_o i_o in_o our_o discourse_n i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o this_o but_o proceed_v to_o some_o other_o case_n 2._o when_o divine_a providence_n be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o any_o divine_a prediction_n no_o question_n but_o that_o providence_n of_o god_n hold_v out_o some_o special_a instruction_n and_o caution_n answerable_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o matter_n of_o that_o prediction_n as_o the_o prediction_n of_o the_o babylonian_a and_o roman_a captivity_n and_o providence_n bring_v about_o these_o prediction_n and_o fulfil_v of_o they_o there_o be_v lesson_n express_o to_o be_v learned_a from_o such_o providential_a act_n which_o have_v such_o a_o respectedness_n to_o divine_a prediction_n as_o to_o caution_n man_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o idolatry_n that_o bring_v the_o babylonian_a captivity_n
