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

be_v correct_v and_o which_o when_o he_o be_v a_o child_n he_o deprecate_v and_o will_v glad_o have_v cut_v in_o piece_n let_v i_o show_v you_o a_o little_a that_o these_o thing_n which_o we_o

justice_n and_o holiness_n be_v two_o eminent_a attribute_n of_o the_o divine_a be_v so_o essential_a unto_o it_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v just_a and_o holy_a he_o can_v not_o be_v god_n now_o the_o holiness_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n can_v never_o be_v so_o know_v in_o the_o world_n but_o for_o the_o affliction_n trouble_n and_o punishment_n which_o be_v abroad_o in_o it_o god_n be_v infinite_o remove_v from_o our_o sense_n we_o can_v only_o read_v he_o in_o his_o word_n and_o in_o his_o work_n the_o word_n of_o god_n evidence_v these_o two_o attribute_n to_o we_o by_o faith_n for_o the_o word_n be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v the_o word_n of_o god_n speak_v god_n a_o just_a and_o holy_a god_n and_o

say_v i_o will_v get_v i_o honour_n upon_o pharaoh_n what_o honour_n the_o honour_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n it_o be_v the_o great_a interest_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v unto_o the_o
