he had so positively asserted and with so much heat argu'd the doctrines of Predestinanation yet was he so conscious of his being in the dark in these things that he made it one comfortable speculation in his thoughts about Heaven and the other state that he should then come to understand the vast mystery of God's decrees in what method they were dispos'd and what influences they had or had not upon mankind Then in a word will all the glories of the Creation unveil themselves then will all the intricacies of divine Providence be unravell'd and the just connexion of every link in that great Chain will be seen plainly and thankfully ador'd Then all our perplext enquiries into the reasons of strange and unaccountable events will be most transportingly satisfy'd Then all the murmuring and oblique reflections we have rashly cast upon Providence in this world shall turn into praises and adorations wondring and owning that infinite wisdom that has run through all the turns and windings of humane affairs and made all seeming contrarieties of action and event conspire in one great and subservient design of Gods glory and the eternal well-being of those that have trusted in and depended upon him As God will then call all the actions of men to a severe and particular account so will he condescend to give as fair and treatable reasons of his dealings in this world to the perfect satisfaction of all happy beings and to the surprizing Confusion of Devils and bad men when they shall see how much the mischiefs wherein God permitted them to be so successful and prosperous for a time tended not only to their own misery and undoing but to the furtherance of those very Persons happiness whom they so much disdained and hated which perhaps may be not obscurely intimated in that passage we shall know as we are known That is as God will sift all our actions and make his distinct enquiries what we have had and done in the world so will he lay before us all his own methods and show us all the just and wise reasons of his providence in this world Then David whose feet had well-nigh slipt when he saw the prosperity of the wicked and Jeremy who would have been pleading the case with God here wherefore the way of the wicked should prosper and all they be happy that had dealt very treacherously Nay I may add then all those bleeding Souls that have been so long crying under the Altar How long Lord Holy and true dost thou not judge and avenge our blood upon them that dwell upon the Earth they shall all joyn in one consort and make infinite harmony before the wise and faithful God in that Song of Moses and of the Lamb which comprehends the whole Church of God under both dispensations Great and marvelous are thy works Lord God Almighty just and true are thy ways O thou King of Saints Rev. 15.3 What wise and good mind should not long for this mighty advance into the knowledge of God where the knowledge of him will be so transporting and satisfactory and will advance mankind to such degrees of likeness and conformity with God To this glorious state of knowledge and enjoyment of himself the Blessed God bring us all through Jesus Christ our Lord to whom with himself and the eternal Spirit of grace be rendered as is most due all honour and glory and praise both now and for ever Amen FINIS BOOKS lately Printed for Tho.
