All deliverances are wrought by God. Whatsoever the instrumental means be, he is the principal efficient and author As he is the Creator of all things, so the Governor, the disposer and orderer of all. And all creatures in the world are his servants, his instruments used by him, according to his will. If therefore by any right victory be ascribed, not to the munition, but to the General: recovery of health, not to the potion, but to the Physician: good-workmanship, not to the materials or tools, but to the Artificer: by much more right, victory, recovery, all deliverances, ⟨p. 102⟩all blessings are to be ascribed to God, who enableth Generals, Physicians, and all others to do what they do, and giveth all efficacy to the means that are any way effectual. It is therefore most just and equal that that which is done by God be ascribed to him. His right it is, and shall he not have his right? Will subjects deal so unjustly with their King, soldiers with their General, servants with their master?
