government_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o if_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o infinite_a wisdom_n second_o it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o both_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v measure_v to_o mankind_n according_a to_o their_o respective_a capacity_n if_o we_o be_v fit_a for_o good_a good_a will_v come_v if_o we_o deserve_v punishment_n we_o must_v expect_v that_o likewise_o for_o all_o god_n way_n be_v equal_a though_o we_o be_v unequal_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o most_o unreasonable_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o impute_v our_o success_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a so_o whole_o to_o the_o immediate_a hand_n that_o manage_v our_o affair_n as_o not_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o they_o there_o be_v a_o divine_a power_n that_o govern_v all_o these_o matter_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o misfortune_n no_o ill_a success_n ever_o happen_v but_o there_o be_v a_o human_a reason_n to_o be_v give_v for_o it_o it_o may_v be_v find_v out_o upon_o what_o occasion_n or_o by_o what_o neglect_n or_o through_o what_o ill_a management_n that_o misfortune_n happen_v yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o if_o those_o that_o manage_v for_o we_o have_v the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o conduct_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o very_a angel_n of_o god_n yet_o their_o endeavour_n will_v not_o be_v effectual_a for_o the_o make_v we_o happy_a unless_o we_o ourselves_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v so_o by_o be_v proper_a object_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o favour_n this_o must_v likewise_o be_v true_a if_o perfect_a justice_n govern_v the_o world_n three_o it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o even_o the_o severe_a dispensation_n of_o god_n providence_n towards_o we_o the_o thing_n we_o complain_v of_o and_o be_v uneasy_a under_o our_o very_a calamity_n and_o misfortune_n and_o disappointment_n even_o these_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n kindness_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o may_v be_v likewise_o instance_n of_o his_o justice._n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v mean_v real_o for_o our_o good_a and_o will_v prove_v so_o if_o we_o make_v that_o use_n of_o they_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n be_v to_o do_v all_o good_a at_o all_o time_n to_o all_o his_o creature_n for_o he_o have_v no_o other_o end_n in_o make_v they_o nor_o have_v he_o any_o other_o end_n in_o look_v after_o they_o but_o god_n can_v do_v good_a to_o all_o in_o the_o same_o way_n correction_n and_o chastisement_n and_o punishment_n be_v in_o some_o case_n more_o expedient_a for_o the_o bring_v people_n to_o right_n and_o promote_a their_o true_a interest_n than_o the_o give_v they_o all_o that_o their_o own_o heart_n can_v wish_v in_o such_o case_n therefore_o god_n must_v deal_v with_o his_o creature_n as_o every_o wise_a parent_n deal_v with_o his_o child_n and_o though_o these_o chastisement_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o be_v 11_o not_o joyous_a but_o grievous_a yet_o be_v they_o design_v for_o the_o bring_v forth_o the_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o all_o they_o that_o be_v exercise_v thereby_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o be_v good_a for_o ourselves_o we_o often_o wish_v for_o thing_n that_o perhaps_o if_o our_o wish_n be_v grant_v will_v undo_v we_o but_o our_o happiness_n be_v that_o god_n know_v all_o and_o so_o temper_v all_o that_o all_o event_n even_o those_o that_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o great_a judgement_n shall_v at_o last_o appear_v most_o visible_o to_o have_v be_v the_o wise_a method_n that_o can_v possible_o have_v be_v contrive_v for_o the_o do_v the_o great_a good_a to_o we_o and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o succeed_v according_o it_o will_v be_v our_o own_o fault_n this_o must_v likewise_o needs_o be_v true_a if_o perfect_a goodness_n govern_v all_o for_o even_o justice_n itself_o be_v but_o a_o different_a way_n of_o express_v goodness_n and_o all_o that_o which_o we_o call_v judgement_n and_o vengeance_n be_v unaccountable_a unless_o it_o serve_v for_o the_o do_v good_a to_o the_o world_n four_o and_o last_o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o event_n whatsoever_o that_o ever_o do_v or_o do_v or_o shall_v happen_v in_o the_o world_n either_o with_o respect_n to_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n or_o with_o respect_n to_o particular_a person_n be_v real_o the_o best_a that_o can_v or_o can_v happen_v and_o if_o thing_n be_v order_v otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o well_o a_o strange_a paradox_n you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v that_o not_o only_o the_o mischief_n and_o calamity_n that_o fall_v upon_o mankind_n but_o even_o their_o fault_n and_o mismanagement_n nay_o their_o very_a sin_n and_o wickedness_n shall_v be_v for_o the_o best_a but_o real_o so_o it_o be_v and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v if_o both_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o power_n govern_v the_o world_n not_o but_o that_o a_o particular_a man_n sin_n may_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o ruin_n nay_o and_o certain_o will_v be_v so_o if_o he_o persist_v in_o they_o and_o likewise_o the_o fault_n of_o a_o people_n may_v and_o will_v have_v such_o a_o ill_a influence_n upon_o the_o community_n as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o amend_v the_o desolation_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v at_o last_o ensue_v thereupon_o but_o still_o though_o every_o thing_n that_o happen_v do_v not_o prove_v for_o the_o good_a of_o that_o particular_a person_n or_o that_o particular_a people_n that_o be_v immediate_o concern_v in_o the_o event_n yet_o it_o will_v certain_o prove_v for_o the_o general_n universal_a good_n so_o that_o take_v all_o the_o whole_a series_n of_o event_n together_o that_o have_v or_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v all_o the_o world_n over_o we_o may_v undoubted_o affirm_v that_o all_o thing_n have_v be_v as_o well_o manage_v as_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o can_v be_v and_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v of_o when_o we_o come_v to_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n of_o make_v a_o just_a estimate_n of_o thing_n for_o indeed_o to_o suppose_v otherwise_o be_v to_o say_v either_o that_o infinite_a wisdom_n do_v not_o act_v so_o wise_o as_o it_o may_v do_v or_o that_o perfect_a goodness_n may_v do_v more_o good_a than_o it_o do_v do_v or_o last_o that_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v do_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v possible_a all_o which_o supposition_n be_v plain_o absurd_a and_o contradictious_a and_o now_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a as_o they_o certain_o be_v how_o natural_a be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o my_o text_n since_o god_n be_v the_o king_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o such_o a_o king_n likewise_o that_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o government_n be_v exact_a goodness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n what_o have_v all_o mankind_n to_o do_v especial_o good_a man_n but_o to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a this_o be_v the_o psalmist_n inference_n from_o this_o doctrine_n and_o this_o be_v the_o present_a business_n of_o the_o day_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o all_o practice_n according_o that_o be_v the_o only_a application_n i_o desire_v to_o make_v of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o two_o way_n we_o ought_v to_o express_v our_o rejoice_v first_o in_o a_o hearty_a sense_n of_o all_o god_n past_a and_o present_a mercy_n to_o we_o and_o a_o actual_a give_v he_o our_o thanks_o for_o the_o same_o second_o in_o a_o cheerful_a dependence_n upon_o he_o for_o his_o future_a blessing_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v a_o little_a to_o these_o two_o point_n and_o i_o have_v do_v first_o let_v we_o be_v hearty_o sensible_a of_o all_o god_n kindness_n to_o we_o both_o past_a and_o present_a and_o unfeigned_o thank_v he_o for_o the_o same_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o not_o only_a david_n but_o the_o prophet_n likewise_o when_o they_o be_v treat_v of_o god_n kingdom_n call_v upon_o the_o isle_n in_o a_o particular_a manner_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o see_v isa._n xxiv_o 15._o xlii_o 4_o 10_o etc._n etc._n as_o here_o in_o my_o text_n let_v the_o multitude_n of_o the_o isle_n be_v glad_a thereof_o as_o if_o the_o isle_n in_o a_o more_o peculiar_a manner_n be_v to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o blessing_n of_o his_o government_n and_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v so_o intend_v and_o according_o have_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o it_o be_v the_o isle_n of_o the_o gentile_n by_o which_o name_n the_o scripture_n express_v those_o country_n that_o be_v at_o the_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o continent_n of_o judea_n i_o say_v it_o be_v these_o isle_n which_o now_o at_o this_o day_n god_n ancient_a people_n the_o jew_n be_v for_o their_o infidelity_n
