To day in the Governing:
To day in the Gouerning:
fHe upholdeth all things by the word of his power. He is Paterfamilias; and disposeth all things in this universe, with greater care and pence, then any house-holder can menage the bu•nesse of his private family. He leaves it not, as the Carpenter having built the frame of a house, to others to perfect it; but looks to it himself. His Creation ⟨p. 241⟩and Providence is like the Mother and the Nurse: the one produceth, the other preserveth. His creation was a short providence, his providence a perpetual creation. The one sets up the frame of the house, the other keeps it in reparation.
