as in his Pallace Gen. 2. 19. 78. In all those things joyned together the perfection of man was compleate and from that perfection a certaine Image of God or of Divine perfection did arise 79. This Creation of man was of the Male and Female both of them of nothing as touching the soule The body of the Male of the Earth mingled with other Elements The body of the Woman of the Male and for the Male that nothing might be wanting to his well being 1 Cor. 11. 8. 9. 80. From the consideration of the Creation our Faith ascendeth above all the order of nature and apprehends the light of the Glory of God to be shewed forth in the Face of Iesus Christ because it is God who commanded the light to shine out of darknesse 2 Cor. 4. 6. CHAPTER IX Of Providence 1. THe Providence of God is that Efficiency whereby he provides for his Creatures now made in all things according to the counsell of his owne Will 2. This Providence is extended to all things not only common but proper Psal. 145. 15. 16. Prov. 16. 9. 33. Exod. 21. 13. Being properly determined of no cause but determining all causes and hence in their manner it is the universall and particular cause of all things 3. The Providence of God is either immediate whereby God by himselfe as the absolute sole cause provides for things or mediate whereby he provides by the use of meanes 4. God doth all things that come to passe immediatly both by reason of his power in respect of all being which is found in the effect for the power of God attaines to every effect Deut. 8. 3. Esay 28. 26. and also by reason of the subject in respect of that being it hath as it is a being for God himselfe who is alwayes and every where present immediatly and inwardly doth worke that in all things also 5. Yet in respect of those things upon which second causes have their influence by force of their own proper forme God is not said to worke immediatly but mediatly because he worketh by the meanes of subjects and virtues of second causes 6. God therefore useth meanes not for want of power but through the abundance of his goodnesse that namely he might communicate a certaine dignity of working to his Creatures also in them might make his efficiency more perceiveable 1 Sam. 14. 7. T is all one to Iehova to save with many or with few Hence God doth often use those meanes to produce the most noble effects which of themselves have no aptnesse to bring forth such effects 1 Cor. 1. 27. 28. Amos 5. 9. 2. Chr. 24. 24. Also he doth often make the most fit means ineffectuall Psal. 33. 16. 127. 1. 2. Hos. 4. 10. 7. Hence our Faith doth not properly respect those means which God useth neither depends on them but on God only who can relieve all our necessities either with means or without meanes as it seemes good to him Dan. 3. 17. Our God whom we worship is able to deliver us out of the hot fiery Fornace and out of thy hand O King 8. The Providence of God is either Ordinary and usuall or Extraordinary and unusuall 9. The ordinary providence is whereby God observeth that order in things which was appointed from the beginning The reason of which order requires that some certain thing goe before and from that being put some certaine thing follow after Hos. 2. 22. I will heare the Heavens and they shall heare the Earth and the Earth shall heare the Corne and the Wine and the Oyle and they shal heare Israel 10. That order in naturall things is the Law of nature common to all things or the very nature of things as it is stablished in a certaine order arising from the force and efficacy of that never to bee revoked Word of God given in the beginning Let it be made let it be be it so which expressing the respect of a thing to come doth signifie perpetuity and constancy and by its virtue doth effectall things which doe usually come to passe of the samthings Ier. 31. 35. 36. The statutes of the Moon and of the Starres c. and 33. 20. My Covenant of the day and my Covenant of the night 11. Extraordinary providence is that whereby God provideth for things beyond the usuall and appointed order of them in which manner whatsoever is effected is by a metonymy of the effect called a Miracle 12. A Miracle is an operation above the order appointed whence true Miracles doe alwayes give evidence of the omnipotency of the doer Hence God only is the Author of true Miracles 13. Men may-be morall causes of Miracles as they obtaine this of God that he would doe them or as God useth their help as a signe or token of a Miracle to be done by him yet they cannot be causes really efficient nor indeed instrumentall much lesse principall 14. The Providence of God is either conservation or gubernation 15. Conservation is that whereby God maketh all things both universall and singular both in their Essence and existence and in their strength to persist and continue Psal. 104. 19. 20. Acts 17. 28. Heb. 1. 3. Which is of Schoolemen not unfitly called Manutenentia Dei Gods holding in his hand because by it God doth sustaine all things as with his Hand 16. This conservation doth necessarily come between Creation and government of things created because whatsoever is created is created to some end and use to which also it ought to be directed and governed but it cannot attaine that end nor be directed to it unlesse it be continued and conserved in its being 17. Gods conservation is necessary for the Creature because the Creature doth every way depend upon the Creator not only as touching its Fieri i. being to be made but also touching its Esse existere permanere operari i. Being Existence Continuance and operation so that every Creature should returne into that nothing whereof it was made if God should not uphold it and the very cessation of Divine conservation would without any other operation presently reduce every Creature into nothing Psalme 104. 29. If thou hidest thy Face they are troubled if thou takest away their breath they die and returne to their dust 18. Some things are conserved immediatly namely such as are subjected unto God only This conservation is in very deed the same with Creation differing only in reason in that Creation includes a certaine newnes which conservation excludes Creation excludes a precedent existence which conservation includes so that that conservation is nothing else then as it were a continued Creation and therefore it is joyned with Creation Neh. 9 6. Thou hast made and thou preservest all these things 19. Gubernation is that whereby God directeth and leadeth all his Creatures to their proper ends Psal. 29. 10. Iehova sits King for ever 20. The government of all things ought to be of God For they would never
