An abridgement of the Institution of Christian religion written

6 But to the end we may thereby gather most §1sweet fruit,¹ let us be assuredly persuaded that all things come to pass by the disposition of God, and that nothing happeneth by chance. Therefore let us always have an eye to him as to the principal §2cause of all things: & let us also behold the inferior causes in their places.² Secondly let us not doubt that the singular providence of God doth watch for our preservation, which will suffer nothing to come to pass, but that which may turn to our good & safety*.
