And if the Providence of God, extendeth unto all our Actions, good and evil, and to evil, as well as unto what is good; then there is no certain Rule, or Judgment to be made up from thence. Now so it is, that the Providence of God extendeth unto all our Sins: the Jews crucified Christ, Gods Providences did extend unto that, Being delivered up by the determinate Counsel, and fore-knowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands, ye have crucified him, Acts, 2.23. When Jonah fled from God, there was then present, a Ship that was bound for Tarshish: here was a Providence. And when Josephs Brethren sold him into Egypt, there came by certain Merchants, who did trade into Egypt: here was a Providence. Now if the Providence of God, do thus extend to our very Sins, then we cannot make up our Judgment, our Rule from a bare Providence: but you may make up your Judgment and Rule from the Scripture, and the Word of God written.

Quest. Doth not God speak by Providence? guide, and direct by Providence sometimes?
