in_o this_o place_n jacob_n attribute_v a_o providence_n over_o all_o thing_n and_o person_n to_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o to_o god_n the_o father_n by_o authority_n john_n 5._o ver_n 17._o my_o father_n work_v and_o i_o work_v this_o work_n that_o christ_n speak_v of_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o creation_n only_o but_o also_o of_o the_o govern_n of_o all_o thing_n create_v for_o this_o particle_n hitherto_o show_v that_o he_o mean_v not_o only_o that_o first_o work_n of_o he_o in_o create_v all_o thing_n with_o his_o father_n but_o also_o another_o work_n which_o he_o daily_o excercise_v which_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o any_o other_o then_o of_o govern_v all_o thing_n with_o his_o father_n but_o here_o we_o must_v observe_v this_o rule_n that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v undevided_a therefore_o that_o which_o be_v the_o father_n work_n be_v the_o work_n also_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v the_o same_o work_n that_o the_o father_n do_v be_v already_o prove_v the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v affirm_v also_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o warrant_n of_o god_n word_n as_o by_o that_o i_o read_v in_o the_o 139._o psalm_n whether_o shall_v i_o go_v from_o the_o spirit_n or_o whether_o shall_v i_o fly_v from_o thy_o presence_n if_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n thou_o be_v there_o if_o i_o lie_v down_o in_o hell_n thou_o be_v there_o let_v i_o take_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o morning_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n yet_o thither_o shall_v thy_o hand_n lead_v i_o and_o thy_o right_a hand_n hold_v i_o thus_o be_v the_o first_o point_n briesly_a prove_v that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v govern_v all_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o god_n the_o father_n now_o to_o the_o second_o that_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n govern_v all_o and_o every_o thing_n there_o be_v very_o many_o that_o can_v willing_o grant_v that_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n govern_v all_o thing_n in_o general_a but_o that_o every_o particularthing_n be_v rule_v by_o the_o same_o they_o deny_v with_o these_o man_n therefore_o i_o mind_n to_o deal_v some_o what_o large_o though_o not_o so_o learned_o as_o the_o cause_n require_v &_o who_o be_v able_a to_o handle_v it_o worthy_o philosopher_n have_v in_o this_o point_n have_v sundry_a opinion_n epicurus_n say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v rule_v by_o chance_n and_o fortune_n and_o that_o god_n live_v id_o and_o at_o ease_n in_o the_o heaven_n which_o opinion_n as_o impious_a all_o man_n in_o word_n condemn_v and_o yet_o so_o we_o live_v that_o our_o life_n be_v evident_a proof_n against_o we_o that_o in_o heart_n and_o soul_n we_o embrace_v it_o for_o sure_o if_o we_o think_v any_o better_a of_o god_n then_o epicurus_n do_v we_o will_v not_o walk_v so_o direct_o in_o epicurus_n path_n as_o we_o do_v or_o live_v so_o
