sacred_a scripture_n have_v record_v it_o be_v to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o these_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o blind_a it_o be_v strange_a and_o unaccountable_a that_o they_o

of_o future_a action_n and_o occurrence_n for_o he_o manage_n these_o for_o great_a and_o excellent_a end_n in_o the_o world_n but_o how_o can_v he_o do_v this_o if_o he_o have_v no_o knwledg_n of_o they_o can_v his_o care_n and_o providence_n be_v exercise_v about_o they_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o these_o man_n deny_v the_o divine_a prescience_n they_o do_v also_o take_v away_o providence_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v dispose_v order_n and_o take_v care_n of_o those_o
