Exc. Well then, saith the Worldling, suppose for instance, the stock be employed in Partnership, or any other course of Traffic, in which the Orphans stand to the hazard of the principal; I would know in such ⟨p. 51⟩a case, what would become of the Fatherless Children, if the principal perish; were they not quite undone?

Rep. I answer, who are we, that we should exempt Orphans from being subject to GODS providence, and ordering. Do not all mens goods in the world depend upon GODS disposing and blessing? Do not all men stand to His providence, and must be subject thereunto? Shall Orphans then only be exempted, that GOD shall have nothing to do with their stocks; but bless He, or curse He; they must be sure to be provided for, to have still so much certain yearly; and to have their principal secured? This ought not to be. Especially, sith they are honoured with so many excellent particular promises of GODS providence, and singular protection.
