the sinfulnesse of man ther● are many inconveniences in depending upon men but to depend on God which we should doe whether we have a competency or no there are many Benefits come by this dependance by not having a certain competent Provision Many experiences of the love of God of the power of God of the providence of God of the truth of God of the mercy of God doe they get that are not furnished with a competency every way Therfore I say work out this principle also for it is a very false one I give but some instances by which you may see what I mean Whatsoever principle you finde that makes the heart prone to take too much care for necessaries take care to work out that principle 2 To possesse the heart with spirituall principles Againe as you must dispossesse the minde of these principles so labour to possesse the minde with contrary principles such spirituall principles as the Word affords us that we may fence our hearts against overcharging care To instance some of them First root in you that Principle of Gods Providence Of Gods providence that there is a Providence a certain all-sufficient Providence That this Providence reacheth to all things that God hath made and in a speciall manner to mankinde Possesse the soule with this Principle It is continuall God he is a faithfull Creator that is he after he hath made the Creature diserts not the Creature The Carpenter builds a house but never takes care for it afterwards God doth not so he is a faithfull Creator saith Peter that is after he hath made the creature he hath a care of the creature and faithfully watcheth over it and holds it in his hand to preserve it And therefore the School-men well call and expresse the providence of God by this name and term the holding of things in his hand This is the nature of God he holds all things in his hand that he hath made My Father saith our Saviour Christ Ioh. 7. Ioh. 7. worketh hitherto God did not cease working when he ceased creating but he worketh hitherto Then he ceased the work of creation but hitherto he worketh the work of providence God knoweth all things that he hath made God upholdeth all things that he hath made God provides for all things he hath made God orders all things he hath made to that proper end himself hath appointed them to There is a providence of God a certain providence 2 Vniversall It is grounded upon the fidelity of God for he is a faithfull Creator The providence of God is universall to all things he hath made as in Mat. 5. The Lillies not only of the garden but those of the field The birds not only in the cage but in the ayre the beasts of the wildernesse God provides for all for Sparrows for Ravens for Lions His providence is over all things it is an all-sufficient providence it is fully able to uphold provide for all That providence is the same that made all the same love the same goodnesse the same wisdome the same power that made all upholds provides for all it is therefore an all-sufficient providence 3 Especially to mankinde Nay it is a providence that is especially to mankinde The goodnesse of God and the love of God hath mankinde for its speciall object Therefore the providence of God also hath mankinde even all mankinde for a speciall object Now then considering all these things what need the heart be overcharged with care when we have one so able and so faithfull to care for us So saith Peter Cast your care on God for he careth for you what need we then perplex our selves with care Thus root our selves in this Principle the doctrine of Gods providence study this and be throughly grounded in it And to help this take notice of the passages of divine providence whereby God hath provided necessaries for mankinde How did the Lord provide for the widdow he sent Eliah to her Eliah comes to her and askes her something to eat Alas saith she I have nothing but a little oyle and a little meale and I am gathering two sticks that I may make a cake for my son and I and then eat it and die She was now at the last she had no more to save her own life and her childs life and in this nick of time the Lord sends Eliah to multiply the meale and the oyle till the famine were ended How did the Lord after provide for Eliah in the wildernesse when he ran away and hid himself that the Lord checked him himself he was there through his own error default yet the Lord made the Ravens to feed him How did the Lord provide for thē of Rochel in the siege before this last fatall siege when they were ready to be famished by making a company of fishes to come deliver themselves up into their hands that were never there before nor never since and to abide till the siege were ended There are many passages of Gods providence sometimes by ordinary means somtimes by extraordinary wherby the Lord shewes that he cares for us and will not suffer us to want if we cast our care on him This is the first Principle we should be possest strongly of this that God provides and cares for us 2 Gods covenant Secondly possesse our selves of this that God by promise hath bound himself to provide necessaries If we be his people and in the Covenant of God not onely the providence but the promise of God ties him to provide whatsoever is convenient The new Covenant wherein the Lord hath tied himselfe to pardon our sins to subdue our iniquities to sanctifie our natures in that very Covenant the Lord hath tied himselfe to furnish us with all outward conveniences as we read Ezek. 36. from vers 25. to the end of the Chapter There are three branches of it Justification Sanctification and the supply of all necessaries Godlinesse hath the promises of this life and of that which is to come God is tied by his Word and by his oath he is bound by that Covenant that is ratified by the Bloud of Christ that is sealed by the Sacraments of the New Testament God in that Covenant is tied as well to provide for our bodies as our soules he is the God of our bodies as well as of our soules Christ died for our bodies as well as for our soules he hath undertaken for our bodies as well as for our souls and every time we receive the Sacrament we receive the Seale of that Covenant wherein God is tied to provide necessaries for us Thereupon Gods children never want enough i● they have faith enough to depend on God God never stayes his hand in the distribution of outward comforts till there come enough for his children Therefore in 2 Sam. 12. 2 Sam. 12. when God reckons up the things he had bestowed on David I gave thee saith he
