government_n have_v effect_v whence_o we_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o tie_v to_o second_o cause_n as_o that_o when_o they_o fail_v his_o providence_n cease_v unto_o we_o for_o sometime_o he_o work_v without_o mean_n and_o sometime_o contrary_a to_o their_o nature_n for_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o mighty_a power_n and_o wonderful_a goodness_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o when_o god_n work_v either_o of_o these_o two_o way_n he_o use_v a_o incomprehensible_a and_o innisible_a virtue_n of_o work_v proper_a to_o his_o deity_n only_o thereby_o teach_v we_o not_o to_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o second_o mean_n but_o even_o them_z when_o they_o whole_o fail_v assure_o to_o hope_v for_o deliverance_n from_o god_n who_o at_o the_o very_a time_n of_o great_a

to_o eschew_v danger_n and_o so_o usual_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n so_o that_o the_o neglect_n of_o ordinary_a mean_n be_v a_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n and_o a_o sin_n of_o presumption_n this_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v when_o he_o say_v hosea_n 2.21_o i_o will_v hear_v the_o heaven_n the_o heaven_n shall_v hear_v the_o earth_n the_o earth_n shall_v hear_v the_o corn_n wine_n and_o oil_n and_o the_o corn_n wine_n and_o oil_n they_o shall_v hear_v israel_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o these_o two_o first_o what_o god_n providence_n be_v second_o the_o order_n he_o use_v in_o govern_v by_o the_o same_o now_o to_o the_o answer_v of_o certain_a question_n which_o offer_v themselves_o after_o this_o manner_n quest._n 1_o the_o first_o why_o god_n do_v sometime_o work_v without_o mean_n and_o sometime_o against_o mean_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o natural_a work_n ans_fw-fr by_o one_o godly_a meditation_n the_o mind_n be_v lead_v unto_o another_o and_o by_o a_o divine_a contemplation_n of_o god_n wonderful_a work_n the_o soul_n be_v move_v to_o take_v joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o to_o stay_v itself_o on_o the_o creator_n alone_o therefore_o although_o god_n child_n be_v not_o curious_o to_o fearch_v into_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n government_n yet_o the_o rule_n of_o godly_a humility_n be_v observe_v we_o will_v inquire_v somewhat_o into_o they_o mean_n reason_n of_o god_n work_v sometime_o without_o sometime_o against_o mean_n the_o first_o whereof_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v learn_v and_o know_v that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o govern_v by_o mean_n because_o he_o can_v rule_v without_o they_o but_o that_o he_o will_v at_o his_o pleasure_n manifest_v his_o infinite_a power_n over_o his_o creature_n and_o his_o exceed_a great_a mercy_n to_o those_o which_o love_n and_o fear_v his_o name_n second_o whereas_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n where_o they_o see_v no_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o effect_v there_o to_o attribute_v the_o event_n unto_o chance_n and_o fortune_n the_o lord_n therefore_o declare_v this_o his_o wonderful_a power_n to_o show_v himself_o the_o sole_a effecter_n of_o all_o thing_n last_o god_n show_v this_o his_o power_n in_o govern_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v put_v no_o confidence_n in_o second_o cause_n but_o whole_o rely_v upon_o his_o power_n and_o goodness_n beget_v in_o we_o this_o double_a assurance_n the_o first_o that_o he_o be_v able_a the_o second_o ever_o ready_a to_o help_v in_o our_o great_a misery_n quest._n 2_o the_o second_o question_n be_v why_o god_n do_v govern_v the_o world_n usual_o by_o mean_n whereas_o he_o be_v able_a to_o govern_v it_o without_o they_o ans_fw-fr the_o answer_n be_v first_o they_o reason_n of_o god_n govern_v usual_o by_o mean_n whereas_o be_v be_v able_a to_o govern_v without_o they_o to_o show_v his_o wonderful_a love_n and_o goodness_n to_o his_o creature_n in_o that_o by_o the_o use_n of_o they_o he_o approve_v of_o what_o he_o have_v create_v and_o further_o give_v this_o honour_n unto_o they_o to_o be_v if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v coworker_n with_o he_o in_o his_o wonderful_a government_n second_o whereas_o we_o be_v natural_o subject_a to_o blindness_n error_n and_o ignorance_n god_n use_v mean_n in_o his_o government_n to_o be_v as_o certain_a step_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o he_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v to_o manifest_v that_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n appear_v in_o this_o in_o that_o he_o have_v the_o command_n and_o use_v of_o all_o thing_n for_o the_o accomplish_n of_o that_o which_o in_o his_o heavenly_a wisdom_n he_o have_v decree_v a_o four_o reason_n be_v to_o excite_v we_o to_o hearty_a thanksgiving_n they_o if_o they_o prove_v otherwise_o it_o be_v because_o of_o our_o bad_a use_v they_o in_o that_o all_o creature_n be_v mean_n of_o our_o good_a and_o ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v help_n and_o furtherance_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n unto_o eternal_a glory_n indeed_o they_o often_o turn_v to_o our_o great_a condemnation_n but_o this_o be_v by_o accident_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o not_o of_o the_o creature_n simile_n simile_n as_o wholesome_a meat_n in_o a_o good_a stomach_n be_v well_o digest_v but_o in_o a_o bad_a stomach_n and_o a_o disease_a body_n turn_v into_o crudity_n the_o cause_n be_v not_o in_o the_o meat_n for_o then_o it_o will_v work_v the_o like_a effect_n in_o all_o but_o in_o the_o stomach_n of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v evil_o affect_v five_o whereas_o god_n use_v all_o his_o creature_n as_o mean_n in_o his_o government_n it_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v in_o their_o kind_n to_o be_v contemn_v or_o despise_v because_o they_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n and_o instrument_n of_o his_o glory_n last_o god_n do_v common_o use_v mean_n in_o his_o government_n because_o we_o shall_v not_o presume_v of_o his_o power_n or_o providence_n either_o by_o neglect_v the_o mean_n appoint_v by_o himself_o for_o the_o save_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o by_o reject_v the_o help_n ordain_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o body_n for_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o must_v have_v respect_n unto_o god_n will_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o not_o unto_o his_o secret_a will_n whereof_o we_o be_v ignorant_a now_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n teach_v by_o his_o own_o ordinance_n at_o first_o in_o the_o person_n of_o adam_n 3._o gen._n 3._o as_o also_o ever_o since_o both_o by_o precept_n and_o practice_n that_o we_o must_v use_v the_o mean_n appoint_v god_n 1._o tim._n 4._o not_o the_o want_n but_o the_o contempt_n of_o mean_n do_v abridge_v we_o of_o help_n from_o god_n be_v sanctify_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n and_o prayer_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o tempt_v god_n in_o the_o neglect_n of_o they_o but_o also_o become_v unnatural_a unto_o ourselves_o in_o that_o we_o regard_v not_o the_o mean_n whereby_o our_o safety_n be_v procure_v lest_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o one_o or_o faulty_a in_o the_o other_o it_o have_v please_v god_n for_o our_o example_n common_o to_o use_v they_o who_o otherwise_o because_o his_o power_n be_v infinite_a can_v as_o easy_o govern_v without_o they_o quest_n 3_o the_o 3._o question_n be_v what_o these_o mean_n be_v which_o god_n use_v in_o his_o government_n ans_fw-fr as_o god_n power_n be_v infinite_a and_o his_o creature_n not_o to_o be_v number_v so_o because_o god_n rule_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n be_v not_o to_o be_v count_v they_o may_v be_v reduce_v into_o two_o sort_n heavenly_a or_o earthly_a concern_v this_o life_n or_o concern_v a_o better_a yet_o none_o can_v in_o very_a deed_n be_v so_o proper_o say_v to_o concern_v this_o life_n as_o that_o they_o do_v not_o after_o a_o certain_a manner_n concern_v a_o better_a also_o but_o i_o will_v only_o recite_v a_o few_o and_o those_o especial_o which_o concern_v god_n child_n as_o the_o law_n the_o gospel_n the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n the_o ministry_n of_o man_n prosperity_n adversity_n good_a angel_n and_o the_o

of_o salvation_n also_o and_o therefore_o as_o god_n do_v predestinate_a to_o salvation_n so_o he_o do_v predestinate_a withal_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n whereby_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v as_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o original_n plain_o teach_v and_o howsoever_o we_o dare_v not_o teach_v that_o the_o omit_v of_o these_o thing_n be_v the_o cut_v we_o off_o from_o salvation_n because_o god_n be_v not_o tie_v unto_o outward_a mean_n yet_o we_o true_o affirm_v that_o the_o contempt_n of_o they_o know_v they_o to_o be_v mean_n of_o salvation_n ordain_v by_o god_n do_v cut_v man_n off_o that_o they_o can_v be_v save_v now_o if_o it_o be_v a_o omit_v of_o the_o mean_n to_o have_v a_o price_n in_o our_o hand_n to_o buy_v they_o and_o not_o to_o have_v the_o

often_o invite_v whether_o our_o small_a regard_n in_o hear_v and_o less_o in_o practise_v be_v a_o omission_n or_o a_o contempt_n i_o leave_v to_o god_n and_o man_n conscience_n to_o determine_v only_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v too_o nice_a a_o distinction_n to_o stand_v upon_o in_o matter_n of_o salvation_n the_o fail_v in_o the_o one_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o fall_v into_o the_o other_o and_o in_o thou_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o answer_v a_o idle_a thought_n it_o will_v be_v christian_a wisdom_n to_o prevent_v so_o vile_a a_o deed_n but_o let_v these_o man_n remember_v that_o since_o the_o law_n lead_v we_o to_o christ_n salvation_n the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n and_o the_o gospel_n beget_v faith_n and_o repentance_n comfort_v we_o in_o

our_o natural_a misery_n enlighten_v our_o dark_a understanding_n inform_v our_o judgement_n confirm_v our_o faith_n reform_v our_o line_n that_o therefore_o these_o bless_a mean_n with_o other_o
