An exposition of the Lords prayer in the way of catechism By William PerkinsAn exposition of the Lords praier in the way of catechisme By William Perkins

The grace to be desired, is a readiness in all estates, to rest on Gods providence, whatsoever fall out. Psal. 37. 5. Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to pass. Prou. 16. 3. Commit or role thy works upon the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be directed: Whereby we are admonished to take pains in our callings to get meat and drink, &c. If the Lord bless not our labour, we must be content: if he do, we must give him thanks. Now for this cause, we are further to pray to God, that he would open our eyes, & by his spirit, teach us in all his good creatures to see his providence, and when means fail and are contrary, then also to believe the same.
