do_v behold_v the_o affront_v they_o be_v put_v upon_o he_o and_o will_v call_v they_o to_o a_o strict_a account_n for_o they_o neither_o will_v good_a christian_n be_v so_o affright_v with_o the_o

they_o those_o holy_a person_n who_o accustom_v themselves_o to_o conceive_v god_n always_o present_a as_o they_o dread_v do_v the_o least_o evil_n or_o neglect_v any_o part_n of_o their_o duty_n so_o the_o most_o terrible_a and_o cruel_a attempt_n of_o the_o wicked_a can_v make_v they_o withdraw_v their_o dependence_n upon_o the_o divine_a providence_n or_o renounce_v the_o hope_n they_o have_v

do_v both_o chief_o proceed_v from_o their_o want_n of_o a_o hearty_a persuasion_n of_o the_o omnipresence_n of_o god_n who_o observe_v their_o whole_a behaviour_n and_o will_v certain_o punish_v sinner_n but_o protect_v and_o preserve_v his_o servant_n nothing_o then_o will_v more_o suppress_v wickedness_n and_o dismay_v and_o terrify_v sinner_n than_o frequent_a meditation_n upon_o the_o divine_a presence_n and_o nothing_o will_v so_o uphold_v our_o spirit_n in_o all_o condition_n as_o to_o let_v it_o be_v our_o daily_a practice_n to_o think_v of_o the_o unerring_a providence_n of_o god_n which_o dispose_v all_o affair_n and_o event_n by_o wise_a rule_n and_o send_v good_a or_o evil_a to_o man_n according_a as_o the_o circumstance_n of_o their_o present_a state_n do_v require_v and_o ever_o with_o a_o design_n to_o make_v they_o the_o better_a thereby_o if_o therefore_o man_n do_v believe_v that_o god_n govern_v the_o world_n and_o order_v all_o the_o affair_n thereof_o they_o can_v not_o ascribe_v the_o issue_n of_o thing_n to_o their_o own_o power_n and_o look_v upon_o the_o prosperity_n of_o their_o condition_n to_o be_v the_o effect_n alone_o of_o their_o own_o wisdom_n and_o good_a management_n neither_o will_v they_o think_v that_o those_o pain_n loss_n and_o calamity_n come_v by_o accident_n and_o chance_n which_o god_n send_v on_o purpose_n either_o to_o try_v their_o love_n or_o to_o reform_v their_o manner_n or_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n for_o a_o example_n to_o other_o it_o must_v much_o abate_v the_o bitterness_n of_o affliction_n and_o loss_n to_o be_v convince_v that_o they_o who_o be_v humble_v under_o they_o who_o bear_v they_o meek_o and_o dutiful_o do_v submit_v to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n will_v thereby_o great_o improve_v the_o grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o shall_v receive_v some_o extraordinary_a blessing_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o relish_n of_o which_o will_v be_v much_o heighten_v by_o their_o past_a suffering_n so_o as_o in_o due_a time_n they_o shall_v see_v good_a reason_n for_o that_o calamity_n which_o be_v at_o present_a so_o grievous_a unto_o they_o they_o then_o who_o think_v god_n do_v not_o concern_v himself_o in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o regard_v the_o life_n of_o man_n can_v never_o true_o reverence_n he_o nor_o worship_n he_o sincere_o but_o wherever_o there_o be_v a_o vigorous_a belief_n of_o providence_n it_o will_v always_o be_v follow_v with_o the_o love_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n that_o therefore_o in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n we_o may_v set_v the_o lord_n before_o we_o and_o direct_v our_o design_n to_o his_o glory_n that_o we_o may_v use_v the_o good_n he_o give_v we_o discreet_o and_o temperate_o and_o when_o he_o

his_o righteous_a will_n that_o we_o may_v be_v grateful_a for_o his_o mercy_n and_o in_o all_o our_o way_n acknowledge_v he_o and_o think_v of_o he_o i_o shall_v take_v leave_n to_o propose_v these_o

without_o the_o order_n or_o at_o least_o the_o permission_n of_o providence_n when_o god_n have_v make_v the_o world_n he_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o shift_v for_o itself_o without_o any_o far_a regard_n of_o it_o but_o his_o power_n do_v as_o true_o appear_v in_o the_o preservation_n and_o government_n thereof_o as_o it_o do_v in_o its_o creation_n what_o he_o think_v fit_a for_o his_o power_n to_o give_v be_v and_o life_n to_o he_o think_v become_v his_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n to_o uphold_v and_o preserve_v as_o judge_v all_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n worthy_a of_o his_o providence_n and_o care_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o do_v come_v by_o inflexible_a fate_n or_o depend_v upon_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o fortune_n but_o god_n do_v look_v down_o upon_o every_o work_n he_o behold_v the_o carriage_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n he_o perpetual_o support_v the_o order_n among_o thing_n and_o direct_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o nature_n in_o such_o just_a manner_n as_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o great_a good_a and_o happiness_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o most_o illustrate_a his_o own_o glory_n this_o all_o follow_v plain_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n which_o consist_v in_o infinite_a perfection_n but_o the_o deny_v of_o providence_n or_o the_o supposal_n that_o matter_n go_v in_o the_o world_n either_o by_o fate_n or_o chance_n be_v most_o repugnant_a to_o the_o bless_a nature_n of_o god_n and_o do_v contradict_v almost_o every_o one_o of_o his_o attribute_n and_o perfection_n who_o can_v not_o be_v almighty_a if_o there_o be_v any_o power_n independent_a upon_o he_o who_o will_v not_o be_v infinite_o wise_a if_o he_o govern_v the_o vast_a production_n of_o his_o power_n by_o no_o law_n who_o goodness_n will_v not_o be_v boundless_a if_o he_o have_v no_o care_n of_o those_o who_o love_v he_o if_o he_o do_v not_o rescue_v those_o who_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n who_o knowledge_n will_v not_o be_v immense_a if_o he_o do_v not_o see_v all_o that_o be_v act_v in_o the_o world_n if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o observer_n of_o the_o word_n and_o deed_n but_o also_o privy_a to_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o his_o creature_n 1._o without_o all_o thing_n do_v under_o the_o sun_n lie_v open_a to_o the_o divine_a view_n why_o shall_v the_o good_a hope_n in_o god_n mercy_n or_o the_o wicked_a tremble_v at_o his_o
