For Gods will is the work wherea• we ought to time, R•m. 12.2.1 Thes. 4.3. 1 P•t. 2.15. For Gods will i• the ground of good; every thing being so far good as he willeth it. It is also a rule, and a perfect ru•e, to which if we frame our actions, we shall be sure not to do amiss. Lastly, it is a sufficient ru•e; and if we have this warrant that God doth will it, we need not fear any opposition.
