148._o psalm_n the_o prophet_n say_v that_o fire_n and_o hail_n snow_n and_o vapour_n stormy_a wind_n do_v execute_v his_o word_n and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o execute_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o to_o be_v rule_v and_o govern_v by_o his_o word_n it_o be_v to_o be_v at_o his_o beck_n and_o pleasure_n again_o in_o the_o 135._o psalm_n it_o be_v say_v that_o whatsoever_o please_v the_o lord_n that_o do_v he_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o the_o depth_n he_o bring_v up_o the_o cloud_n from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o make_v the_o lightning_n with_o the_o rain_n he_o draw_v forth_o the_o wind_n out_o of_o his_o treasure_n and_o christ_n our_o saviour_n in_o the_o 6._o of_o math._n bid_v we_o learn_v how_o the_o lily_n of_o the_o field_n do_v grow_v they_o labour_v not_o neither_o spin_v and_o a_o little_a afterward_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n do_v clothe_v the_o grass_n of_o the_o field_n these_o few_o place_n prove_v that_o god_n have_v a_o provident_a care_n to_o keep_v and_o govern_v even_o his_o lifeless_a creature_n not_o only_o general_o but_o also_o particular_o as_o cloud_n rain_n wind_n grass_n fire_n hail_n snow_n vapour_n lily_n and_o such_o like_a the_o like_a provident_a care_n he_o have_v for_o other_o of_o his_o creature_n who_o he_o have_v endue_v with_o the_o life_n and_o sense_n but_o not_o with_o reason_n and_o that_o liberty_n of_o choice_n whereof_o i_o speak_v before_o we_o read_v in_o the_o 147._o psalm_n that_o god_n give_v to_o beast_n their_o food_n and_o to_o the_o young_a raven_n that_o cry_v and_o in_o the_o 104._o psalm_n vers_fw-la 14._o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o god_n cause_v grass_n to_o grow_v for_o the_o cattle_n and_o afterward_o in_o the_o 27._o verse_n he_o say_v that_o all_o beast_n fowl_n and_o fish_n wait_v upon_o thou_o o_o lord_n that_o thou_o may_v give_v they_o food_n in_o due_a season_n thou_o give_v it_o to_o they_o and_o they_o gather_v it_o thou_o open_v thy_o hand_n and_o they_o be_v sill_v with_o good_a thing_n this_o also_o our_o saviour_n christ_n affirm_v in_o the_o 6._o of_o matthew_n say_v behold_v the_o fowl_n of_o the_o heaven_n for_o they_o sow_v not_o neither_o reap_v nor_o carry_v into_o the_o barn_n yet_o your_o heavenly_a father_n feed_v they_o and_o in_o the_o 10._o of_o math._n be_v not_o two_o sparrow_n sell_v for_o a_o

have_v a_o provident_a care_n of_o every_o particular_a creature_n upon_o who_o he_o have_v not_o bestow_v y_fw-fr ●_o free_a liberty_n of_o choice_n whether_o they_o have_v not_o life_n or_o have_v life_n and_o sense_n and_o want_v reason_n now_o as_o for_o those_o creature_n to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v that_o gift_n of_o free_a choice_n which_o i_o say_v be_v angel_n and_o man_n some_o do_v think_v that_o god_n in_o truth_n have_v a_o special_a provident_a care_n over_o man_n who_o he_o make_v after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n but_o not_o over_o other_o creature_n which_o opinion_n how_o false_a it_o be_v you_o may_v easy_o gather_v out_o of_o that_o i_o have_v already_o write_v other_o do_v make_v this_o to_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o man_n that_o god_n take_v a_o special_a care_n of_o the_o godly_a but_o cast_v away_o all_o care_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v manifest_o overthrow_v this_o opinion_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o math._n christ_n our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o that_o our_o heavenly_a father_n make_v his_o sun_n to_o arise_v on_o the_o evil_a and_o on_o the_o good_a and_o send_v rain_n on_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a and_o paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n the_o 4._o chapter_n say_v that_o god_n be_v saviour_n of_o all_o man_n special_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v whereof_o i_o gather_v that_o god_n have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o but_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o that_o he_o leave_v y_o e_o wicked_a to_o be_v rule_v by_o chance_n &_o fortune_n for_o if_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o those_o thing_n and_o creature_n that_o the_o wicked_a possess_v as_o of_o their_o cattle_n grass_n and_o corn_n and_o such_o like_a sure_o he_o provide_v also_o for_o they_o the_o owner_n &_o master_n of_o those_o creature_n neither_o can_v he_o be_v provident_a &_o careful_a for_o the_o godly_a but_o he_o must_v also_o govern_v and_o rule_v the_o wicked_a according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o divine_a power_n for_o as_o a_o prince_n and_o general_n of_o a_o army_n be_v not_o only_o careful_a for_o the_o troop_n and_o company_n of_o soldier_n that_o be_v in_o his_o host_n but_o also_o for_o munition_n &_o victual_n necessary_a for_o they_o that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o army_n so_o furnish_v that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o terror_n to_o the_o

they_o so_o can_v it_o not_o be_v that_o god_n do_v provide_v for_o his_o church_n but_o he_o must_v also_o moderate_a and_o govern_v all_o those_o thing_n without_o which_o his_o church_n can_v be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n such_o thing_n as_o appartaine_a to_o the_o nourishment_n clothing_n safe_a and_o quiet_a harbour_v of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n they_o therefore_o who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o true_a church_n be_v yet_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n church_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o providence_n so_o be_v the_o patriarch_n say_v to_o have_v find_v favour_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o infidel_n for_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v rule_v and_o move_v the_o heart_n of_o infidel_n which_o way_n it_o please_v he_o now_o how_o god_n rule_v not_o only_o every_o particular_a man_n but_o also_o all_o the_o several_a action_n of_o man_n be_v prove_v by_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o 16_o of_o the_o proverb_n commit_v thy_o work_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o thy_o thought_n shall_v be_v direct_v and_o by_o that_o also_o which_o be_v in_o the_o 4._o of_o james_n go_v to_o now_o you_o that_o say_v to_o day_n or_o to_o morrow_n we_o will_v go_v into_o such_o a_o city_n

vapour_n it_o appear_v for_o a_o little_a time_n and_o afterward_o vanquisheth_z away_o for_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o say_v if_o the_o lord_n will_v and_o if_o we_o live_v we_o will_v do_v this_o or_o that_o thus_o james_n speak_v of_o the_o action_n or_o do_n of_o man_n affirm_v that_o god_n rule_v they_o all_o so_o that_o without_o his_o will_n we_o can_v do_v nothing_o no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o pass_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o paul_n coufess_v that_o he_o be_v often_o hinder_v and_o stay_v by_o god_n that_o he_o can_v not_o go_v to_o those_o church_n he_o purpose_v until_o he_o have_v his_o journey_n grant_v he_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n god_n therefore_o rule_v all_o the_o several_a action_n of_o all_o man_n i_o will_v use_v only_o two_o example_n to_o illustrate_v and_o make_v plain_a this_o most_o true_a doctrine_n that_o god_n govern_v the_o several_a action_n of_o all_o man_n both_o good_a and_o bad_a in_o the_o history_n of_o joseph_n many_o thing_n to_o this_o purpose_n be_v to_o be_v find_v the_o end_n of_o that_o history_n be_v that_o which_o joseph_n speak_v of_o genesis_n 50._o you_o think_v evil_a against_o i_o say_v he_o to_o his_o brethren_n but_o god_n dispose_v it_o to_o good_a in_o this_o history_n these_o man_n and_o their_o several_a action_n be_v to_o be_v weigh_v first_o father_n jacob_n than_o the_o brethren_n of_o joseph_n joseph_n himself_o the_o ishmaelite_n to_o who_o he_o be_v sell_v that_o light_a huswife_n his_o mistress_n putiphar_n wife_n pharaoh_n and_o his_o servant_n the_o action_n of_o all_o these_o person_n be_v diverse_a and_o very_a different_a one_o from_o another_o some_o of_o they_o be_v laudable_a other_o detestable_a and_o yet_o some_o of_o those_o better_a than_o other_o and_o some_o of_o those_o action_n neither_o to_o be_v altogether_o allow_v nor_o dispraise_v &_o yet_o as_o joseph_n witness_v god_n by_o his_o providence_n rule_v &_o dispose_v they_o all_o both_o man_n and_o their_o action_n to_o josephs_n good_a so_o as_o david_n say_v psalm_n 105._o that_o god_n send_v a_o man_n before_o

they_o joseph_n be_v sell_v for_o a_o slave_n for_o so_o god_n govern_v the_o wicked_a action_n of_o those_o man_n that_o the_o most_o perverse_a practice_n of_o josephs_n brethren_n the_o shameless_a and_o beastly_a part_n of_o putiphar●_n wife_n and_o other_o heavy_a action_n have_v a_o most_o happy_a end_n so_o that_o even_o those_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v to_o joseph_n purpose_v by_o they_o utter_o to_o destroy_v he_o bring_v joseph_n to_o great_a honour_n so_o mighty_a and_o wonderful_a be_v god_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o light_n to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n moreover_o in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o pprophecy_n of_o jonas_n we_o shall_v see_v how_o wonderful_o god_n do_v not_o only_o govern_v man_n but_o also_o all_o manner_n of_o creature_n sensible_a &_o unsensible_a for_o i_o read_v that_o jonah_n go_v out_o of_o the_o city_n of_o niniveh_n &_o sit_v on_o the_o east_n side_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o city_n &_o there_o make_v he_o a_o booth_n &_o sit_v under_o it_o in_o the_o shadow_n till_o he_o may_v see_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o the_o city_n and_o the_o lord_n prepare_v a_o gourd_n &_o make_v it_o to_o come_v up_o over_o jonah_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o shadow_n over_o his_o head_n and_o deliver_v he_o from_o his_o grief_n so_o jonah_n be_v exceed_v glad_a of_o the_o gourd_n but_o god_n prepare_v a_o worm_n when_o the_o morning_n rise_v the_o next_o day_n and_o it_o smite_v the_o gourd_n that_o it_o wither_a and_o when_o the_o sun_n do_v arise_v god_n prepare_v also_o a_o fervent_a east_n wind_n and_o the_o sun_n beat_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o jonah_n that_o he_o faint_v and_o wish_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o die_v and_o say_v it_o be_v better_a for_o i_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v in_o this_o that_o i_o have_v write_v out_o of_o jonas_n we_o have_v these_o thing_n to_o way_n first_o jonah_n a_o man_n the_o most_o excellent_a creature_n the_o other_o base_a creature_n as_o the_o gourd_n the_o worm_n and_o the_o wind_n the_o worm_n be_v a_o creature_n that_o have_v life_n in_o it_o and_o be_v of_o that_o kind_n of_o beast_n that_o be_v divide_v in_o their_o body_n the_o head_n and_o breast_n from_o their_o belly_n and_o tail_n the_o gourd_n and_o the_o wind_n they_o be_v creature_n without_o life_n and_o yet_o you_o see_v how_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n rule_v and_o move_v at_o his_o pleasure_n all_o these_o creature_n if_o epicurus_n have_v be_v at_o this_o sight_n he_o will_v have_v ascribe_v all_o to_o chance_n if_o aristotle_n to_o natural_a cause_n if_o chrysippus_n or_o

holy_a ghost_n attribute_v the_o course_n of_o govern_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o god_n alone_o who_o prepare_v they_o all_o for_o jonah_n his_o good_a for_o by_o these_o mean_n jonah_n that_o be_v wander_v be_v set_v in_o the_o right_a way_n as_o if_o you_o will_v read_v the_o chapter_n you_o may_v see_v more_o full_o of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v already_o write_v i_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o both_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o want_v the_o gift_n of_o choice_n and_o all_o they_o that_o have_v it_o be_v govern_v and_o rule_v by_o god_n by_o his_o most_o high_a and_o mighty_a providence_n of_o the_o angel_n which_o i_o place_v at_o the_o first_o among_o those_o creature_n that_o have_v the_o liberty_n of_o choice_n i_o will_v write_v now_o the_o less_o hope_v that_o i_o shall_v have_v this_o back_n again_o to_o view_v polish_v and_o enlarge_v but_o their_o name_n teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v rule_v by_o god_n himself_o for_o they_o be_v call_v angeli_fw-la angel_n that_o be_v messenger_n send_v from_o god_n and_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrews_n be_v call_v the_o minister_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o part_n that_o be_v for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n rule_v all_o thing_n in_o general_a and_o every_o particular_a thing_n in_o particular_a now_o come_v i_o to_o that_o i_o promise_v to_o handle_v in_o the_o second_o place_n namely_o to_o the_o unfold_n and_o answer_v of_o those_o argument_n which_o be_v make_v against_o this_o doctrine_n the_o first_o argument_n they_o make_v be_v this_o god_n can_v govern_v all_o thing_n general_o and_o every_o creature_n and_o action_n without_o exceed_a toil_n and_o grief_n of_o mind_n but_o if_o agree_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o he_o rest_n in_o quiet_a and_o be_v free_a from_o all_o labour_n therefore_o god_n do_v not_o govern_v all_o and_o every_o particular_a thing_n to_o this_o argument_n draw_v thus_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o their_o first_o proposition_n be_v false_a which_o be_v that_o god_n can_v govern_v all_o thing_n general_o and_o particular_o without_o exceed_a foil_n and_o grief_n of_o mind_n but_o for_o that_o i_o will_v not_o only_o deny_v it_o as_o false_a but_o show_v the_o reason_n that_o move_v i_o so_o to_o do_v you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n of_o action_n some_o be_v natural_a some_o be_v violent_a other_o some_o mean_a that_o be_v neither_o altogether_o natural_a nor_o altogether_o violent_a natural_a action_n be_v they_o that_o do_v flow_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n itself_o without_o any_o help_n elsewhere_o such_o be_v the_o round_a motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n the_o flow_a and_o ebb_v of_o the_o sea_n that_o light_a thing_n do_v of_o their_o natural_a lightness_n mount_v upward_o heavy_a thing_n fall_v downward_o that_o we_o breath_n and_o such_o like_a these_o action_n be_v do_v without_o any_o labour_n because_o they_o move_v of_o themselves_o without_o any_o other_o help_n other_o action_n there_o be_v which_o be_v do_v by_o force_n and_o therefore_o be_v call_v violent_a as_o by_o force_n to_o make_v a_o stone_n mount_v upward_o who_o nature_n be_v to_o fall_v downward_o and_o such_o like_a violent_a action_n which_o can_v long_o last_v as_o aristotle_n teach_v because_o they_o be_v do_v with_o ●orce_n there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o action_n which_o i_o call_v mean_a who_o beginning_n be_v of_o nature_n but_o yet_o they_o can_v be_v do_v unless_o they_o be_v help_v by_o some_o other_o mean_n as_o to_o eat_v to_o drink_v to_o walk_v and_o such_o like_a but_o now_o that_o that_o god_n do_v he_o do_v without_o labour_n because_o he_o do_v it_o natural_o and_o therefore_o most_o free_o again_o there_o be_v no_o force_n that_o can_v compel_v god_n and_o therefore_o he_o work_v of_o himself_o free_o without_o any_o compulsion_n neither_o be_v he_o trouble_v with_o grief_n but_o govern_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o will_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n then_o to_o govern_v and_o preserve_v the_o whole_a world_n even_o with_o the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n a_o second_o argument_n of_o they_o be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o unmeete_a thing_n for_o god_n and_o clean_o repugnant_a to_o his_o nature_n to_o intermeddle_v in_o filthy_a and_o unclean_a matter_n but_o he_o can_v govern_v every_o several_a creature_n and_o their_o action_n but_o he_o must_v intermeddle_v with_o many_o unclean_a and_o filthy_a matter_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o govern_v they_o i_o deny_v the_o second_o proposition_n which_o be_v that_o god_n can_v govern_v every_o several_a creature_n and_o their_o action_n but_o he_o must_v mingle_v himself_o with_o many_o unclean_a and_o filthy_a matter_n for_o that_o among_o the_o creature_n and_o their_o action_n there_o be_v many_o unclean_a thing_n this_o consequence_n though_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v false_a for_o although_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v in_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o rule_v all_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n do_v intermeddle_v with_o the_o unpure_a action_n of_o his_o creature_n which_o may_v be_v make_v plain_a by_o this_o similitude_n the_o sun_n of_o all_o visible_a creature_n most_o excellent_a man_n only_o except_v do_v most_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o do_v shine_v in_o every_o place_n
