providence_n concern_v itself_o in_o the_o administration_n rule_n and_o government_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o mankind_n which_o though_o it_o be_v a_o general_a subject_n yet_o must_v i_o stay_v a_o while_n upon_o it_o because_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o one_o thing_n be_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o all_o religion_n and_o more_o especial_o of_o that_o particular_a part_n of_o it_o which_o we_o be_v to_o exercise_v at_o this_o time_n which_o be_v to_o render_v our_o thanks_o to_o god_n for_o restore_v our_o lawful_a prince_n to_o we_o and_o the_o blessing_n attend_v his_o restitution_n namely_o our_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n if_o this_o be_v not_o do_v by_o divine_a providence_n it_o will_v be_v flattery_n or_o mistake_n to_o return_v any_o thanks_o to_o god_n for_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v indeed_o then_o to_o neglect_v to_o praise_v he_o for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sacrilegious_a ingratitude_n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o a_o while_n reflect_v upon_o the_o argument_n and_o demonstration_n that_o make_v it_o evident_a there_o be_v a_o providence_n that_o be_v that_o god_n concern_v himself_o and_o interpose_v his_o power_n and_o wisdom_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o humane_a affair_n and_o all_o the_o concernment_n in_o the_o world_n 1._o and_o first_o of_o all_o have_v we_o no_o more_o than_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o give_v we_o assurance_n that_o this_o be_v so_o even_o that_o may_v effectual_o serve_v to_o do_v it_o that_o very_a light_n evident_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n who_o make_v the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n therein_o contain_v from_o the_o admirable_a structure_n and_o contrivance_n clear_o appear_v in_o he_o whole_a and_o every_o part_n thereof_o and_o such_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n creation_n as_o evident_o show_v a_o infinite_a wisdom_n power_n and_o bounty_n in_o he_o that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unreasonable_a than_o to_o imagine_v that_o infinite_a wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n either_o can_v or_o will_v not_o interpose_v in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o man_n no_o man_n will_v say_v he_o can_v do_v it_o for_o this_o be_v against_o the_o natural_a notion_n of_o a_o god_n and_o be_v most_o evident_o contradict_v by_o what_o he_o have_v already_o do_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n a_o work_n of_o infinite_a power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o if_o any_o will_v say_v he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o his_o reason_n necessary_o must_v be_v this_o namely_o want_v of_o concernment_n in_o god_n for_o we_o that_o be_v want_v of_o kindness_n to_o we_o the_o noble_a work_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n which_o be_v most_o evident_o contradict_v in_o the_o love_n already_o show_v to_o we_o in_o that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o make_v we_o but_o provide_v all_o thing_n needful_a for_o we_o and_o give_v we_o infinite_o great_a advantage_n over_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o visible_a creature_n and_o still_o continue_v all_o these_o favour_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unreasonable_a than_o to_o imagine_v or_o suspect_v that_o god_n either_o can_v or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o interpose_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o our_o affair_n it_o be_v no_o toil_n to_o he_o to_o do_v it_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n be_v never_o weary_a to_o do_v it_o be_v suitable_a to_o that_o goodness_n which_o he_o have_v already_o show_v unto_o we_o and_o beside_o it_o be_v most_o extreme_a folly_n to_o fancy_v that_o god_n will_v employ_v a_o infinite_a power_n and_o wisdom_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o abandon_v it_o unto_o chance_n and_o concern_v himself_o no_o further_o in_o it_o the_o same_o wisdom_n that_o can_v not_o but_o make_v it_o for_o a_o end_n can_v but_o still_o pursue_v the_o end_n for_o which_o he_o make_v it_o in_o the_o order_n rule_n and_o government_n of_o it_o to_o act_v for_o no_o end_n argue_v folly_n to_o cease_v to_o pursue_v a_o end_n propound_v evident_o argue_v want_v of_o wisdom_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o wise_a god_n both_o have_v a_o end_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o still_o pursue_v that_o end_n by_o the_o rule_n and_o government_n of_o his_o providence_n 2._o thus_o far_o speak_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o now_o if_o we_o rise_v a_o degree_n high_o and_o take_v a_o view_n of_o revelation_n make_v by_o god_n in_o his_o holy_a word_n here_o we_o find_v express_v witness_n and_o authentic_a record_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o the_o rule_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n 1._o for_o first_o of_o all_o god_n do_v in_o most_o express_a language_n own_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n assume_v and_o vindicate_v it_o to_o himself_o see_v now_o say_v he_o that_o i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o and_o there_o be_v no_o god_n with_o i_o i_o kill_v and_o i_o make_v alive_a i_o wound_v and_o i_o heal_v neither_o be_v there_o any_o that_o can_v deliver_v out_o of_o my_o hand_n deuter._n 32.39_o whereunto_o add_v that_o of_o the_o prophet_n i_o be_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o like_o else_o i_o be_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o like_o i_o declare_v the_o end_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o from_o ancient_a time_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o do_v say_v my_o counsel_n shall_v stand_v and_o i_o will_v do_v all_o my_o pleasure_n lsaiah_o 46.9_o 10._o from_o whence_o observe_v that_o god_n express_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n assume_v this_o as_o his_o proper_a right_n and_o certain_o god_n do_v not_o declare_v himself_o to_o do_v what_o indeed_o he_o do_v not_o nor_o assume_v what_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o he_o 2._o and_o then_o further_o as_o god_n himself_o express_o own_v the_o rule_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n so_o do_v all_o wise_a man_n ascribe_v it_o to_o he_o thou_o even_o thou_o be_v lord_n alone_o say_v nehemiah_n thou_o have_v make_v heaven_n the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n with_o all_o their_o host_n the_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v therein_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o that_o be_v therein_o and_o thou_o preserve_v they_o all_o nehem._n 9.6_o where_o he_o ascribe_v as_o well_o the_o preservation_n as_o the_o creation_n of_o all_o to_o god_n and_o certain_o he_o do_v not_o design_n to_o flatter_v he_o by_o ascribe_v more_o than_o he_o do_v unto_o he_o 3._o and_o add_v hereunto_o the_o style_n and_o title_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n represent_v god_n they_o style_v he_o lord_n and_o thereby_o own_o his_o right_n and_o title_n to_o the_o world_n they_o style_v he_o king_n and_o thereby_o own_o his_o government_n of_o it_o the_o lord_n be_v king_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o psal_n 10.16_o and_o the_o lord_n sit_v king_n for_o ever_o psal_n 29.10_o nay_o they_o express_o style_v he_o governor_n the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v the_o governor_n among_o the_o nation_n psal_n 22.28_o and_o call_v upon_o the_o nation_n to_o rejoice_v under_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o reign_n o_o let_v the_o nation_n he_o glad_a for_o joy_n for_o thou_o shall_v judge_v the_o people_n righteous_o and_o govern_v the_o nation_n upon_o earth_n psal_n 67.4_o now_o so_o universal_a be_v god_n providence_n that_o it_o be_v concern_v in_o every_o creature_n in_o man_n as_o bear_v his_o own_o image_n in_o mean_a creature_n as_o make_v for_o man_n be_v not_o two_o sparrow_n sell_v for_o a_o farthing_n and_o yet_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n

do_v god_n consider_v man_n that_o he_o concern_v be_v in_o all_o his_o action_n he_o command_v he_o assist_v he_o reward_v the_o good_a he_o forbid_v and_o punish_v what_o be_v evil_a and_o though_o
