Excerpt from Divine Conduct or the Mystery of Providence, Wherein the Being and Efficacy of Providence Are Asserted and Vindicated The greatness of God is a glorious and unsearchable mystery. "The Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth," Psal. xlvii. 2. The condescension of the most high God to men is also a profound mystery. "Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly," Psal. cxxxviii. 6. But when both these meet together, as they do in this Scripture, they make up a matchless mystery. Here we find the most high God performing all things for a poor distressed creature. It is the great support and solace of the saints in all the distresses that befall them here, that there is a wise Spirit sitting in all the wheels of motion, and governing the most eccentric creatures, and their most pernicious designs, to blessed and happy issues. And, indeed, it were not worth while to live in a world devoid of God and providence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
