First, In Creation; who hath disposed, jointed, and put the whole world in frame? who hath marshalled the several parts of the world as they now stand like the Host of God? The world as created is expressed in the Greek by beauty and order; before God perfected the creation, all was a confused heap without form and void; But that rude indigested matter was drawn forth in the several works of that six-days Creation, into a most beautiful form and order. Thus God once disposed all the world by Creation.
First, In Creation; who hath disposed, joynted, and put the whole world in frame? who hath marshall'd the severall parts of the world as they now stand like the Host of God? The world as created is expressed in the Greek by beauty and order; before God perfected the creation, all was a confused heape without forme and voyd; But that rude indigested matter was drawne forth in the severall works of that six-dayes Creation, into a most beautifull forme and order. Thus God once disposed all the world by Creation.
Secondly, God daily disposeth the world by providence; And that's the disposure which this text especially speaks of;1 Who hath disposed (in a providential way) the whole world? The word rendered world, properly signifies, the habitable world; we find it opposed to the wilderness or desert (Isa: 14.17.) where few or none inhabit. That word is very significantly used here for the world, because the habitable part of the world, or where men inhabit, are the stages on which the providences of God appear, and act most eminently & convincingly; Who hath disposed of the habitable world? which the Greeks call, The house of abiding: Mr Broughton, The dwelt land, that is, the land wherein men dwell.
