Though God doth often deliver his choicest Servants into the power of wicked men, yet he never delivers them up to the will of wicked men: They cannot do with his people what they please, they shall only do what God himself pleaseth, though they displease God highly in doing it. God never turns the least of those who believe in his Name, out of his own hand, though he turn them over into the hand of the ungodly: as God keeps his title to them still, so he still keeps the possession of them. Saints in the hand of the vilest men, are in the hand, or possession of God two ways.
Though God doth often deliver his choycest Servants into the power of wicked men, yet he never delivers them up to the will of wicked men: They cannot doe with his people what they please, they shall onely doe what God himselfe pleaseth, though they displease God highly in doing it. God never turnes the least of those who beleeve in his Name, out of his owne hand, though he turne them over into the hand of the ungodly: as God keeps his title to them still, so hee still keepes the possession of them. Saints in the hand of the vilest men, are in the hand, or possession of God two wayes.
First, They are in the hand of his power, he can fetch them out of the hands of men when he will.
Secondly, They are under the hand of his care; and this five ways.
