B08803	Several discourses concerning the actual Providence of God. Divided into three parts. The first, treating concerning the notion of it, establshing the doctrine of it, opening the principal acts of it, preservation and government of created beings. With the particular acts, by which it so preserveth and governeth them. The second, concerning the specialities of it, the unseachable things of it, and several observable things in its motions. The third, concerning the dysnoēta, or hard chapters of it, in which an attempt is made to solve several appearances of difficulty in the motions of Providence, and to vindicate the justice, wisdom, and holiness of God, with the reasonableness of his dealing in such motions. / By John Collinges ...	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1678 (1678)	Wing C5335; ESTC R233164	689,844	860

and_o constant_a one_o way_n or_o other_o god_n providence_n be_v always_o do_v they_o good_a and_o reward_v their_o righteous_a deed_n and_o this_o must_v necessary_o be_v true_a upon_o the_o apostle_n hypothesis_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o the_o good_a of_o they_o that_o love_n god_n but_o i_o hasten_v to_o the_o application_n use_v 1_o in_o the_o first_o place_n let_v i_o recommend_v this_o to_o your_o observation_n though_o there_o be_v such_o a_o vast_a difference_n between_o good_a and_o evil_n in_o their_o own_o intrinsic_a nature_n as_o may_v just_o allure_v we_o into_o the_o embrace_n of_o the_o former_a and_o scare_v every_o man_n from_o the_o pursuit_n of_o the_o latter_a yet_o such_o be_v our_o nature_n that_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o encouragement_n to_o the_o former_a by_o reward_n and_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v scare_v from_o the_o latter_a and_o there_o can_v be_v any_o thing_n more_o effectual_a with_o we_o to_o discourage_v sin_n and_o encourage_v goodness_n than_o if_o we_o can_v effectual_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v both_o certain_a and_o constant_a and_o the_o reward_n of_o righteousness_n be_v so_o also_o this_o be_v the_o point_n i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v and_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o any_o one_o presumption_n of_o the_o contrary_a be_v their_o look_v at_o nothing_o as_o a_o punishment_n or_o a_o reward_n but_o what_o be_v sensible_a than_o which_o we_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o a_o great_a mistake_n nor_o any_o of_o worse_a consequence_n as_o to_o the_o malign_a influence_n it_o will_v have_v upon_o our_o life_n and_o consequent_o upon_o our_o eternal_a state_n but_o consider_v what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o judge_v whether_o a_o man_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o great_a ruin_n of_o himself_o than_o to_o go_v on_o in_o a_o impenitent_a and_o resolve_a course_n of_o sin_v against_o god_n possible_o you_o do_v observe_v that_o as_o to_o outward_a thing_n it_o be_v much_o one_o with_o a_o profane_a swearer_n and_o blasphemer_n as_o with_o the_o man_n that_o reverence_v

a_o credit_n to_o his_o word_n if_o his_o faith_n be_v weak_a and_o languid_a the_o exemplify_a of_o the_o thing_n reveal_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o the_o issue_n of_o providence_n tend_v

that_o they_o believe_v not_o for_o all_o his_o wondrous_a work_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a aggravation_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o jew_n that_o live_v in_o the_o time_n when_o our_o saviour_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n that_o although_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v declare_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o do_v such_o work_n as_o no_o

particular_o remark_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o the_o sudden_a death_n of_o ananias_n and_o saphira_n that_o a_o great_a fear_n come_v upon_o all_o the_o church_n and_o upon_o as_o many_o as_o hear_v of_o those_o thing_n and_o in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n you_o shall_v find_v god_n command_v exemplary_a justice_n to_o be_v do_v upon_o some_o remarkable_a offender_n for_o this_o very_a
