to_o day_n be_v and_o to_o morrow_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o oven_n sparrow_n you_o know_v be_v but_o cheap_a bird_n be_v not_o two_o of_o they_o sell_v for_o a_o farthing_n matth._n 10._o 29._o and_o

if_o god_n have_v by_o a_o particular_a law_n provide_v that_o the_o ox_n shall_v not_o be_v muzzle_v which_o tread_v out_o the_o corn_n he_o will_v be_v much_o more_o careful_a of_o the_o labourer_n in_o his_o harvest_n it_o be_v record_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o some_o ancient_a general_n that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o call_v every_o common_a soldier_n by_o his_o own_o name_n and_o careful_a to_o provide_v not_o only_o pay_v for_o their_o captain_n but_o litter_n also_o for_o the_o mean_a beast_n that_o do_v serve_v the_o camp_n now_o you_o know_v there_o be_v not_o any_o creature_n but_o be_v a_o soldier_n to_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n he_o do_v sometime_o muster_v up_o a_o army_n of_o louse_n and_o fly_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o reason_n that_o his_o providence_n shall_v take_v care_n for_o such_o thing_n also_o why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v as_o great_a a_o argument_n of_o his_o power_n to_o preserve_v and_o order_v these_o lesser_a creature_n as_o it_o be_v at_o first_o to_o make_v they_o the_o creation_n of_o a_o glorious_a angel_n do_v not_o cost_v he_o more_o then_o that_o of_o a_o despicable_a fly_n be_v it_o not_o he_o that_o out_o of_o the_o same_o primitive_a nothing_o put_v that_o difference_n which_o there_o be_v among_o several_a nature_n and_o if_o the_o painter_n in_o the_o same_o piece_n draw_v a_o silken_a and_o a_o woollen_a garment_n why_o shall_v he_o value_v the_o one_o above_o the_o other_o since_o it_o be_v the_o same_o art_n that_o do_v both_o make_v and_o distinguish_v they_o 2._o as_o his_o providence_n reas._n do_v extend_v to_o all_o thing_n so_o likewise_o do_v his_o wisdom_n as_o he_o be_v exact_o careful_a so_o be_v he_o infinite_o wise_a and_o therefore_o as_o able_a for_o the_o contrivance_n of_o every_o the_o least_o particular_a thing_n as_o he_o will_v be_v if_o he_o have_v nothing_o but_o that_o to_o look_v after_o if_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v but_o one_o project_n on_o foot_n we_o can_v easy_o conceive_v how_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o drive_v that_o through_o all_o the_o wind_n and_o circumstance_n of_o it_o with_o care_n and_o wisdom_n nay_o we_o will_v trust_v any_o wise_a man_n with_o the_o manage_n of_o a_o single_a business_n when_o he_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o distract_v his_o endeavour_n but_o for_o all_o those_o multitude_n of_o affair_n among_o man_n and_o angel_n nay_o for_o the_o very_a circumstance_n and_o manner_n of_o all_o those_o several_a action_n and_o motion_n which_o be_v perform_v in_o every_o moment_n of_o time_n through_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o can_v conceive_v but_o that_o in_o such_o a_o tumult_n of_o business_n the_o eye_n of_o providence_n may_v be_v sometime_o over-seen_a but_o this_o arise_v from_o our_o mistake_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o measure_v god_n by_o our_o own_o finite_a ability_n whereas_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a can_v be_v confine_v by_o time_n or_o number_n or_o place_n but_o be_v as_o well_o able_a at_o all_o time_n to_o look_v to_o all_o thing_n in_o all_o place_n as_o if_o there_o be_v only_o one_o business_n to_o be_v care_v for_o you_o may_v see_v some_o imperfect_a resemblance_n of_o this_o among_o the_o creature_n do_v but_o consider_v the_o sun_n how_o that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n without_o labour_n or_o confusion_n be_v employ_v in_o divers_a service_n for_o all_o the_o creature_n under_o heaven_n the_o distinction_n of_o season_n the_o growth_n of_o several_a plant_n its_o various_a influence_n upon_o mineral_n the_o cherish_n of_o live_a creature_n with_o sundry_a other_o such_o variety_n of_o employment_n which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a so_o much_o as_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o or_o else_o do_v but_o mark_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o at_o the_o same_o time_n perhaps_o do_v contemplate_v heaven_n direct_v the_o body_n in_o its_o sundry_a motion_n distribute_v the_o food_n in_o a_o wise_a proportion_n to_o the_o several_a part_n not_o neglect_v so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o hair_n about_o it_o but_o supply_v that_o with_o suitable_a nourishment_n and_o all_o this_o it_o do_v without_o weariness_n or_o distraction_n and_o if_o a_o creature_n can_v do_v thus_o much_o more_o than_o the_o creator_n who_o give_v to_o every_o thing_n its_o proper_a ability_n and_o do_v actuate_v all_o thing_n by_o a_o more_o immediate_a assistance_n than_o the_o soul_n itself_o so_o that_o though_o we_o suppose_v infinite_a occasion_n which_o notwithstanding_o creature_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o yet_o the_o providence_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a also_o and_o there_o be_v the_o same_o proportion_n of_o infinite_a to_o infinite_a as_o of_o one_o to_o one_o now_o put_v both_o these_o reason_n together_o if_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v thus_o exact_o careful_a of_o every_o the_o least_o particular_a if_o he_o be_v thus_o infinite_o wise_a for_o the_o disposal_n of_o all_o to_o the_o best_a no_o wonder_n then_o though_o every_o event_n in_o the_o world_n be_v both_o beautiful_a and_o in_o its_o time_n for_o the_o further_a clear_n of_o this_o truth_n there_o objection_n be_v two_o doubt_n or_o query_n to_o be_v resolve_v that_o seem_v to_o oppose_v it_o 1._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o this_o beauty_n of_o providence_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o we_o but_o that_o many_o thing_n seem_v so_o full_a of_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n 2._o how_o may_v this_o consist_v with_o the_o permission_n of_o sinful_a action_n which_o can_v neither_o be_v beautiful_a nor_o seasonable_a i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o to_o show_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o so_o many_o thing_n we_o can_v discern_v this_o beauty_n of_o providence_n the_o verse_n of_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o that_o man_n can_v find_v out_o the_o work_n of_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n to_o the_o end_n that_o be_v it_o be_v above_o human_a capacity_n to_o comprehend_v the_o reason_n of_o all_o divine_a proceed_n we_o can_v find_v they_o full_o out_o from_o the_o beginning_n to_o the_o end_n and_o so_o job_n 9_o 10._o he_o do_v great_a thing_n past_o find_v out_o lo_o

he_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o where_o ever_o job_n turn_v his_o eye_n there_o be_v still_o some_o passage_n of_o providence_n which_o he_o can_v not_o apprehend_v the_o meaning_n of_o god_n have_v
