be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v from_o providence_n but_o from_o some_o other_o rule_n man_n and_o wife_n come_v together_o by_o providence_n but_o whether_o they_o be_v relate_v and_o a_o relation_n

and_o not_o the_o word_n this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o say_v that_o they_o oppose_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n against_o providence_n his_o former_a providence_n against_o his_o late_a

that_o humane_a law_n be_v a_o rule_n of_o practice_n and_o that_o providence_n be_v no_o rule_n of_o practice_n and_o therefore_o providence_n be_v not_o to_o determine_v we_o against_o the_o law_n

and_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n contrary_a to_o these_o law_n be_v by_o providence_n likewise_o and_o therefore_o to_o stand_v by_o the_o entail_v against_o the_o possession_n be_v to_o oppose_v a_o former_a to_o a_o latter_a providence_n for_o be_v there_o no_o difference_n between_o providence_n concur_v to_o the_o make_n and_o establish_v law_n which_o be_v rule_n of_o practice_n and_o so_o warrant_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o bare_a act_n or_o permission_n of_o providence_n which_o be_v no_o such_o rule_n nor_o so_o warrant_v so_o that_o with_o the_o drs._n leave_v the_o opposition_n be_v not_o between_o providence_n and_o providence_n but_o between_o a_o rule_n and_o no_o rule_n and_o if_o we_o must_v speak_v so_o between_o providence_n fix_v a_o state_v rule_n and_o the_o bare_a act_n of_o providence_n which_o be_v no_o rule_n and_o here_o be_v the_o plain_a fallacy_n of_o his_o argument_n it_o be_v true_a the_o law_n of_o entail_v be_v make_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o receive_v their_o bind_a power_n and_o oblige_v the_o conscience_n from_o providence_n but_o from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n providence_n concur_v to_o the_o make_v they_o law_n but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n make_v they_o obligatory_a and_o therefore_o

be_v true_a enough_o and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o conform_v ourselves_o to_o the_o divine_a providence_n and_o to_o discharge_v those_o duty_n as_o when_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n put_v we_o into_o a_o state_n of_o affliction_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o conform_v ourselves_o to_o his_o will_n and_o to_o perform_v the_o duty_n that_o providence_n point_v out_o to_o we_o by_o that_o dispensation_n to_o be_v patient_a constant_a and_o faithful_a to_o be_v sure_a to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o not_o be_v affright_v from_o our_o duty_n nor_o discourage_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o these_o be_v duty_n that_o be_v consequent_a upon_o such_o a_o state_n and_o which_o the_o divine_a providence_n direct_v we_o to_o and_o the_o nature_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o providence_n be_v plain_a and_o evident_a but_o this_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o his_o purpose_n but_o if_o by_o the_o nature_n and_o intention_n of_o providence_n the_o dr._n mean_v that_o what_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o world_n by_o providence_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o the_o intention_n of_o providence_n that_o we_o shall_v comply_v active_o with_o they_o own_z they_o and_o adhere_v to_o they_o this_o be_v manifest_o false_a in_o a_o thousand_o instance_n and_o particular_o in_o all_o robbery_n usurpation_n and_o invasion_n of_o other_o man_n right_n the_o question_n therefore_o be_v not_o whether_o we_o be_v to_o conform_v ourselves_o to_o providence_n and_o to_o discharge_v duty_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o intention_n of_o providence_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o providence_n that_o we_o be_v to_o espouse_v and_o embrace_v and_o pursue_v the_o interest_n of_o usurpation_n and_o all_o other_o event_n that_o be_v manifest_o unjust_a and_o unrighteous_a the_o question_n therefore_o still_o return_v what_o be_v the_o duty_n and_o obligation_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n lay_v on_o we_o and_o what_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o providence_n do_v god_n when_o he_o permit_v wicked_a and_o unjust_a usurpation_n and_o other_o villainy_n require_v we_o to_o fall_v down_o and_o reverence_n to_o join_v ourselves_o to_o they_o and_o to_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o unrighteousness_n this_o be_v to_o interpret_v god_n providence_n in_o contradiction_n to_o his_o law_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o providence_n be_v a_o rule_n which_o the_o dr._n say_v he_o will_v consider_v how_o far_o it_o may_v be_v he_o add_v thus_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o some_o sense_n may_v be_v the_o

the_o providence_n of_o god_n change_v our_o relation_n or_o condition_n of_o life_n as_o in_o the_o present_a case_n when_o he_o remove_v one_o king_n and_o set_v up_o another_o for_o he_o must_v transfer_v my_o allegiance_n when_o he_o change_v my_o king_n that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o a_o woman_n be_v marry_v she_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o wife_n when_o her_o husband_n be_v dead_a providence_n have_v set_v her_o free_a and_o she_o owe_v her_o dead_a husband_n no_o duty_n so_o when_o god_n remove_v a_o king_n the_o duty_n of_o subject_n cease_v and_o when_o they_o have_v another_o lawful_a king_n they_o owe_v he_o allegiance_n very_o true_a but_o the_o question_n return_v when_o be_v a_o king_n remove_v be_v dispossession_n make_v he_o no_o king_n and_o discharge_v
