Now this providence of GOD is so conjoined with the creation of the world, that it can not be separated. For he may not be Creator, but he must also be the guider and the directer. For even as none other was able to make such a work but only he, Even so none other is able to guide and govern the same, but only he, which is the worker and maker.¹ Then this Providence importeth, that nothing is done at adventure: To wit, without the most just ordinance of God. For his providence extendeth both in general and particular, to all things, that are as well in Heaven, as in earth, in such sort, that he hath a care for man, whom he hath in special recommendation amongest all his creatures, even unto one very hair ⟨p. 8⟩of his head, even as Jesus Christ doth witness.
