government_n have_v effect_v whence_o we_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o tie_v to_o second_o cause_n as_o that_o when_o they_o fail_v his_o providence_n cease_v unto_o we_o for_o sometime_o

this_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v when_o he_o say_v hosea_n 2.21_o i_o will_v hear_v the_o heaven_n the_o heaven_n shall_v hear_v the_o earth_n the_o earth_n shall_v hear_v the_o

he_o use_v in_o govern_v by_o the_o same_o now_o to_o the_o answer_v of_o certain_a question_n which_o offer_v themselves_o after_o this_o manner_n quest._n 1_o the_o first_o why_o god_n do_v sometime_o work_v without_o mean_n and_o sometime_o against_o mean_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o natural_a work_n ans_fw-fr by_o one_o godly_a meditation_n the_o mind_n be_v lead_v unto_o another_o and_o by_o a_o divine_a contemplation_n of_o god_n wonderful_a work_n the_o soul_n be_v move_v to_o take_v joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o to_o stay_v itself_o on_o the_o creator_n alone_o therefore_o although_o god_n child_n be_v not_o curious_o to_o fearch_v into_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n government_n yet_o the_o rule_n of_o godly_a humility_n be_v observe_v we_o will_v inquire_v somewhat_o into_o they_o mean_n reason_n of_o god_n work_v sometime_o without_o sometime_o against_o mean_n the_o first_o whereof_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v learn_v and_o know_v that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o govern_v by_o mean_n because_o he_o can_v rule_v without_o they_o but_o that_o he_o will_v at_o his_o pleasure_n manifest_v his_o infinite_a power_n over_o his_o creature_n and_o his_o exceed_a great_a mercy_n to_o those_o which_o love_n and_o fear_v his_o name_n second_o whereas_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n where_o they_o see_v no_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o effect_v there_o to_o attribute_v the_o event_n unto_o chance_n and_o fortune_n the_o lord_n therefore_o declare_v this_o his_o wonderful_a power_n to_o show_v himself_o the_o sole_a effecter_n of_o all_o thing_n last_o god_n show_v this_o his_o power_n in_o govern_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v put_v no_o confidence_n in_o second_o cause_n but_o whole_o rely_v upon_o his_o power_n and_o goodness_n beget_v in_o we_o this_o double_a assurance_n the_o first_o that_o he_o be_v able_a the_o second_o ever_o ready_a to_o help_v in_o our_o great_a misery_n quest._n 2_o the_o second_o question_n be_v why_o god_n do_v govern_v the_o world_n usual_o by_o mean_n whereas_o he_o be_v able_a to_o govern_v it_o without_o they_o ans_fw-fr the_o answer_n be_v first_o they_o reason_n of_o god_n govern_v usual_o by_o mean_n whereas_o be_v be_v able_a to_o govern_v without_o they_o to_o show_v his_o wonderful_a love_n and_o goodness_n to_o his_o creature_n in_o that_o by_o the_o use_n of_o they_o he_o approve_v of_o what_o he_o have_v create_v and_o further_o give_v this_o honour_n unto_o they_o to_o be_v if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v coworker_n with_o he_o in_o his_o wonderful_a government_n second_o whereas_o we_o be_v natural_o subject_a to_o blindness_n error_n and_o ignorance_n god_n use_v mean_n in_o his_o government_n to_o be_v as_o certain_a step_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o he_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v to_o manifest_v that_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n appear_v in_o this_o in_o that_o he_o have_v the_o command_n and_o use_v of_o all_o thing_n for_o the_o accomplish_n of_o that_o which_o in_o his_o heavenly_a wisdom_n he_o have_v decree_v a_o four_o reason_n be_v to_o excite_v we_o to_o hearty_a thanksgiving_n they_o if_o they_o prove_v otherwise_o it_o be_v because_o of_o our_o bad_a use_v they_o in_o that_o all_o creature_n be_v mean_n of_o our_o good_a and_o ordain_v by_o god_n to_o be_v help_n and_o furtherance_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n unto_o eternal_a glory_n indeed_o they_o often_o turn_v to_o our_o great_a condemnation_n but_o this_o be_v by_o accident_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o not_o of_o the_o creature_n simile_n simile_n as_o wholesome_a meat_n in_o a_o good_a stomach_n be_v well_o digest_v but_o in_o a_o bad_a stomach_n and_o a_o disease_a body_n turn_v into_o crudity_n the_o cause_n be_v not_o in_o the_o meat_n for_o then_o it_o will_v work_v the_o like_a effect_n in_o all_o but_o in_o the_o stomach_n of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v evil_o affect_v five_o whereas_o god_n use_v all_o his_o creature_n as_o mean_n in_o his_o government_n it_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v in_o their_o kind_n to_o be_v contemn_v or_o despise_v because_o they_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n and_o instrument_n of_o his_o glory_n last_o god_n do_v common_o use_v mean_n in_o his_o government_n because_o we_o shall_v not_o presume_v of_o his_o power_n or_o providence_n either_o by_o neglect_v the_o mean_n appoint_v by_o himself_o for_o the_o save_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o by_o reject_v the_o help_n ordain_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o body_n for_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o must_v have_v respect_n unto_o god_n will_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o not_o unto_o his_o secret_a will_n whereof_o we_o be_v

regard_v not_o the_o mean_n whereby_o our_o safety_n be_v procure_v lest_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o one_o or_o faulty_a in_o the_o other_o it_o have_v please_v god_n for_o our_o example_n common_o to_o use_v they_o who_o otherwise_o because_o his_o power_n be_v infinite_a can_v as_o easy_o govern_v without_o they_o quest_n 3_o the_o 3._o question_n be_v what_o these_o mean_n be_v which_o god_n use_v in_o his_o government_n ans_fw-fr as_o god_n power_n be_v infinite_a and_o his_o creature_n not_o to_o be_v number_v so_o because_o god_n rule_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n
