Many times when we think to provide best for our own peace, 1we make the greatest provision for our own ruin: God many times makes people work their own woe and ruin themselves, and there is no means that doth more fully and directly tend to undo them than what they do themselves; and thus God over rules the counsels and thoughts of men.

What a vain thing is it to plot against God, when God can turn mens Arrows against themselves? No men are greater instruments of Gods wrath (many times) against us than we are our selves, yea, and than those are that we seek most to correspond withal; and it is just with God it should be so, that if we will leave him, to seek correspondence with wicked men, it is just with God that of all men in the world those should be the men that should ⟨p. 62⟩be made the Executioners of Gods wrath upon us.
