B08803 Several discourses concerning the actual Providence of God. Divided into three parts. The first, treating concerning the notion of it, establshing the doctrine of it, opening the principal acts of it, preservation and government of created beings. With the particular acts, by which it so preserveth and governeth them. The second, concerning the specialities of it, the unseachable things of it, and several observable things in its motions. The third, concerning the dysnoēta, or hard chapters of it, in which an attempt is made to solve several appearances of difficulty in the motions of Providence, and to vindicate the justice, wisdom, and holiness of God, with the reasonableness of his dealing in such motions. / By John Collinges ... Collinges, John, 1623-1690. 1678 (1678) Wing C5335; ESTC R233164 689,844 860

the_o first_o place_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v but_o a_o reasonable_a motion_n of_o providence_n there_o to_o distribute_v sensible_a blessing_n where_o man_n either_o in_o their_o single_a capacity_n or_o in_o their_o political_a society_n live_v in_o the_o exact_a square_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o divine_a rule_n in_o matter_n of_o distributive_a and_o commutative_a justice_n and_o brotherly_a love_n and_o amity_n if_o you_o but_o consider_v the_o natural_a tendency_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o promove_v the_o felicity_n of_o any_o person_n or_o society_n together_o with_o the_o direct_a tendency_n of_o a_o contrary_a converse_n to_o the_o ruin_n and_o undo_n of_o they_o justice_n and_o unity_n or_o amicable_a live_v each_o with_o other_o be_v the_o two_o pillar_n of_o

justice_z and_o brotherly_a love_n they_o be_v the_o two_o thing_n which_o build_v up_o humane_a society_n and_o the_o nation_n which_o keep_v not_o up_o these_o two_o pillar_n and_o preserve_v they_o

such_o a_o end_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o other_o moral_a virtue_n such_o as_o be_v temperance_n and_o sobriety_n be_v rational_a mean_n tend_v to_o the_o preservation_n of_o man_n life_n and_o health_n which_o be_v other_o sensible_a blessing_n it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v wonder_v that_o these_o blessing_n which_o be_v the_o end_n do_v natural_o follow_v the_o proper_a mean_n even_o as_o the_o thread_n follow_v the_o needle_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o sempstress_n god_n have_v so_o order_v it_o that_o end_n shall_v be_v ordinary_o obtain_v in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n

of_o that_o life_n which_o be_v to_o come_v so_o of_o this_o life_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o the_o promise_n to_o brethren_n live_v together_o in_o unity_n psal_n 133._o you_o hear_v before_o there_o god_n command_v the_o blessing_n say_v the_o psalmist_n and_o mark_n what_o blessing_n it_o be_v it_o be_v like_o the_o oil_n pour_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o aaron_n which_o run_v down_o to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n like_o the_o dew_n upon_o the_o hill_n of_o hermon_n which_o make_v the_o earth_n fruitful_a the_o blessing_n of_o plenty_n and_o prosperity_n and_o for_o promise_n to_o the_o do_v justice_n and_o judgement_n they_o be_v so_o many_o in_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v almost_o infinite_a to_o repeat_v they_o i_o shall_v only_o commend_v this_o observation_n to_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v quite_o through_o the_o scripture_n find_v the_o execution_n of_o justice_n and_o judgement_n make_v one_o term_n that_o god_n put_v upon_o people_n in_o order_n to_o the_o

those_o temporal_a blessing_n which_o a_o nation_n do_v enjoy_v indeed_o unless_o profaneness_n and_o irreligion_n or_o idolatrous_a and_o undue_a worship_n of_o god_n almost_o all_o the_o sin_n for_o which_o you_o find_v threaten_n of_o the_o deprival_n of_o temporal_a sensible_a blessing_n be_v reducible_a to_o one_o of_o these_o head_n either_o be_v failer_n in_o matter_n of_o civil_a justice_n or_o of_o that_o brotherly_a love_n and_o amity_n which_o god_n have_v require_v so_o that_o this_o be_v as_o a_o very_a ordinary_a so_o a_o most_o reasonable_a motion_n of_o divine_a providence_n and_o what_o we_o can_v but_o in_o reason_n expect_v from_o its_o hand_n but_o i_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o discourse_n use_v 1_o as_o my_o other_o observation_n so_o this_o also_o

though_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n people_n be_v after_o spiritual_a good_a lord_n say_v david_n lift_v thou_o up_o the_o light_n of_o thy_o countenance_n upon_o i_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o that_o
