Secondly, to acknowledge Gods particular providence upon us from day to day, whereon we must depend and cast our selves continually for all things needful, though we see no reason thereof. Thus did Abraham, when he was about to sacrifice his son; for when Isaac asked, where is the sacrifice? Abraham answered; my son, God will provide, Gen. 22. 8. and so he did, vers. 13. whereupon Abraham in memory of this singular work of Gods providence, called the name of the place, Jehovah ijreh, God will provide, v. 14.
