Reason 1. From the beauty to be observed in every work of God (that is in every change befalling us) in its season. To the beauty of the body there concur three things, 1. [Greek or Hebrew]; when no member is defective or superfluous: good constitution; every maim is a blemish: every superfluity is a deformity. 2. [Greek or Hebrew] Partium, when one part is proportionable to another, and all suitable to their end, and to their head, good proportion. 3. [Greek or Hebrew], well-colouredness, or well favourednesse, good complexion. So in Gods work about us there is 1. A perfection, as in the creatures, Isay 40.26. So in his government of us, Deut. 2.4. Isay 5.4. 2. A Symmetry or proportion, First ⟨p. 60⟩between the Lord and his work, 2 Tim. 2.13. Ezek. 20.9, 14, 22. Secondly between his former and latter works, Judges 6.13, 14. Thirdly between the instrument and the work God doth by it [multuin refert Davusne loquatur an herus] Arrogant cruelty becometh Pharaoh; Profane blasphemy, Rabshekah; Cursing, Shimei; Treason, Judas, Isay 32.6, 8. Fourthly between Gods dealings with us, and ours with him, Psalm 18.24, 25, 26. The wild-fire of lust in Sodom was punished with wild-fire and brimstone. So in destroying the Egyptians First-borne, Exodus 4.22, 23. So in Nadab and Abihu. So in Adonibezek, Judges 1.6, 7. 3. [Greek or Hebrew], well-favourednesse: It is a beauty in the countenance. First Cheerfulness. Secondly Lightsomeness. First, there is a cheerfulness in Gods works at last, Gen. 45.7, 8. James 5.11. Heb. 12.11. They have a pleasant countenance, Psalm 92.4. & 58.10. Secondly, there is a lightsomeness in them, giving light and instruction, Psalm 107.43.
