It is a sign of a carnal spirit, when God hath glorified himself in answering the prayers of his people, to attribute it to any other means.
It is a sign of a carnall spirit, when God hath glorified himself in answering the prayers of his people, to attribute it to any other means.
As I remember, I read of the Porphirian atheists, that followed the atheism of Porphyry, they darkened the work of God in delivering the children of Israel out of Egypt thorough the red sea. They say that Moses had learned of the Egyptians, and they were great Astronomers: and Moses knew when it would be a low tide, and what constellations there would be at that time, and that the tide would prove low then, more then ever in the age of man, and Moses took the nick of time, end lead them through the sea. Thus atheists would darken the works of God, & put them of to natural causes. So I find it related of the old Prophet in Jeroboam's time; Josephus hath it related of him, he sent to Jeroboam to stretch out his hand, he tells us that this was by accident, he was wearied all the day long, and now he had the Palsy, and after it was restored again; that which was done by prayer, he would have it by natural means.
