of_o he_o may_v we_o depend_v only_o for_o our_o salvation_n here_o then_o first_o of_o all_o be_v overthrow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o schoolman_n that_o make_v god_n simple_o the_o object_n of_o

1._o vers_fw-la 21._o by_o who_o namely_o christ_n you_o believe_v in_o god_n by_o this_o see_v then_o what_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o turk_n jew_n and_o all_o those_o that_o know_v

proper_o be_v to_o be_v translate_v rather_o than_o depart_v if_o he_o be_v part_v and_o separate_v from_o onesimus_fw-la then_o there_o be_v a_o separator_n and_o that_o be_v god_n second_o the_o

steal_v or_o run_v away_o for_o than_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n but_o because_o that_o in_o his_o eternal_a council_n he_o have_v decree_v his_o event_n do_v now_o willing_o

than_o we_o have_v just_a occasion_n to_o consider_v of_o doct._n the_o infinite_a and_o vast_a gulf_n of_o god_n providence_n that_o providence_n the_o infinite_a extent_n of_o god_n providence_n extend_v itself_o to_o all_o thing_n even_o the_o mean_a not_o only_o to_o kingdom_n but_o family_n and_o every_o particular_a member_n therein_o even_o to_o poor_a bondslave_n insomuch_o that_o a_o bondslave_n can_v run_v from_o his_o master_n without_o god_n special_a providence_n this_o must_v teach_v we_o to_o admire_v the_o infinite_a depth_n of_o god_n wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n we_o think_v among_o ourselves_o that_o in_o a_o great_a family_n he_o that_o take_v charge_n of_o it_o and_o all_o therein_o and_o through_o who_o hand_n all_o thing_n in_o the_o family_n must_v pass_v must_v needs_o be_v a_o man_n of_o special_a part_n o_o then_o the_o bottomless_a profundity_n of_o god_n wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n that_o before_o all_o world_n do_v in_o one_o act_n dispose_v of_o all_o the_o several_a action_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n yea_o and_o all_o other_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o how_o shall_v this_o make_v we_o rest_v and_o rely_v upon_o god_n in_o our_o trouble_n look_v for_o that_o event_n which_o he_o in_o his_o providence_n have_v appoint_v if_o god_n providence_n reach_v to_o bondslave_n how_o much_o more_o to_o other_o if_o nothing_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o one_o poor_a family_n without_o it_o much_o less_o in_o a_o whole_a church_n if_o in_o a_o family_n a_o servant_n be_v not_o part_v from_o his_o master_n without_o god_n appointment_n much_o less_o in_o the_o church_n be_v minister_n take_v away_o from_o their_o flock_n and_o if_o such_o thing_n fall_v out_o by_o god_n providence_n we_o must_v quiet_v ourselves_o in_o god_n will_n second_o the_o end_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v why_o god_n part_v onesimus_fw-la from_o his_o master_n that_o thou_o may_v receive_v he_o for_o ever_o this_o word_n for_o ever_o

this_o must_v not_o make_v we_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o which_o we_o be_v forbid_v rom._n 3._o for_o god_n only_o have_v this_o skill_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o infinite_a
