We believe athat not only he hath creator all things, but that he governeth and conducteth, bdisposeth and ordaineth, according to his will, all things that come to pass in the world. cNot that he is the author of evil, or that any fault may be imputed to him, dseeing his will is the sovereign: and infallible rule, of all righteousness and equity. eBut he hath such wonderful means, to use the service of Devils and wicked men, that he can convert to good, the evil which they do, and wherein they are culpable. And fso confessing nothing to be done without the providence of God, we reverence with all humility those secretes that are hidden from us, without ⟨image 148⟩further searching for that, which is above our reach. And rather apply to our use, that which is declared unto us in the holy scripture, to be the better in quiet & safety: gbecause that God to whom all things are subject, so watcheth over us with a Fatherly care, that one hear can not fall from our heads without his will.
