A93347	Gods unchangeableness: or Gods continued providence, in preserving, governing, ordering and disposing of all creatures, men, actions, counsels and things, as at the beginning of the world, so to the end of the world, for ever, according to the counsel of his own will. From whence is gatherd six necessary inferences very applicable to the changes, alterations and vicissitude of these our present times. Wherein is clearly demonstrated and proved, that Oliver Cromwell is by the providence of God, Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland, &c. to whom the people owe obedience, as to him whom God hath set over them. Unto which is added, the causes of discontent, repining and murmurings of men: also, some serious advertisements, and seasonable admonitions to the discontented, and reprehensions to all impetuous, arrogant murmurers. Together with answers to some cheif objections made against the Lord Protector and his present government, endeavouring (if possible) satisfaction to all men. / Therefore written and published for publicke good, by George Smith, Gent.

less_o a_o duty_n in_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n to_o command_v the_o duty_n and_o performance_n of_o duty_n for_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n than_o it_o be_v duty_n to_o the_o

will_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o blessing_n bring_v a_o curse_n as_o be_v threaten_v by_o the_o prophet_n jer_n 48._o 10._o but_o the_o due_a observance_n of_o the_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n hold_v forth_o by_o the_o magistrate_n and_o practise_v by_o the_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v the_o chief_a mean_n to_o divert_v the_o judgement_n we_o fear_v and_o procure_v the_o blessing_n we_o want_v i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o inference_n and_o that_o be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v effect_v and_o do_v his_o will_n in_o any_o thing_n visible_o make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o the_o work_n of_o providenee_n we_o be_v not_o to_o murmur_v nor_o repine_v though_o it_o be_v in_o any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o our_o expectation_n or_o desire_n or_o though_o it_o be_v to_o our_o great_a affliction_n but_o to_o submit_v to_o it_o willing_o only_o by_o prayer_n to_o seek_v unto_o god_n and_o patient_o wait_v his_o time_n and_o mean_n for_o deliverance_n this_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o godly_a in_o all_o age_n k_o 23._o thus_o holy_a david_n do_v while_o his_o child_n be_v yet_o alive_a he_o use_v all_o lawful_a mean_n for_o the_o life_n of_o it_o but_o when_o god_n have_v do_v his_o will_n and_o the_o child_n be_v dead_a he_o leave_v off_o to_o mourn_v and_o murmur_v not_o but_o patient_o bear_v the_o affliction_n thus_o do_v just_a and_o righteous_a job_n he_o fear_v his_o son_n may_v sin_v and_o procure_v god_n displeasure_n he_o therefore_o use_v the_o right_a mean_n to_o prevent_v it_o m_o 5._o but_o when_o providence_n have_v bring_v that_o to_o pass_v which_o he_o fear_v and_o god_n have_v visible_o manifest_v his_o pleasure_n job_n be_v patient_a he_o murmur_v not_o neither_o against_o providence_n

their_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o all_o o_o 29._o and_o wait_v patient_o for_o their_o deliverance_n it_o be_v good_a say_v the_o prophet_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v both_o hope_n and_o quiet_o wait_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n p_o 26._o sure_o say_v job_n it_o be_v meet_a to_o be_v say_v unto_o god_n i_o have_v bear_v chastisement_n i_o will_v not_o offend_v any_o more_o q_o 12_o and_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v that_o we_o be_v follower_n of_o they_o that_o by_o faith_n and_o patience_n inherit_v the_o promise_n r_o 12_o but_o to_o murmur_v against_o providence_n be_v
