What ever good we see wrought among or for the children of men, God is the worker of it.
As he over-ruleth the evil which is done, and both sendeth and ordereth the evil which is suffered; so he is the worker of all the good that is done. God worketh it all either immediately by himself, or mediately by second causes; and what instrument soever is set a work, yet the work as to the matter and manner of it, as also to the result and issue of it, is the Lords. He was the ⟨p. 463⟩worker of all that hath been spoken of in the former context; though we read of a messenger, of an interpreter, yet the work was Gods. 'Tis said (Gen: 39.22.) The keeper of the prison committed to Josephs hand, all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. Not that he did every thing with his own hand in the prison, but he gave the rule, and ordered all that was done. Much more may I say of the Lord, whatsoever is done in the world, especially among his people, God is the doer of it, All goes through his hand. Lo, all these things worketh God.
