Again, As the earth, before, is put for the inhabitants and occurrences of the earth; so whatsoever passeth, or is brought to ⟨p. 578⟩pass in the world, is here called the world. Who hath disposed the whole world? He that made the whole world, disposeth of the whole world, providence followeth Creation.

But some may say, Is this a good Argument to prove that God is just, because he hath the supreme power over all the world? Will it follow, that he administereth all things rightly, because he hath a right to administer all things? There seems but little of Argument in this, (may some say) many have a great deal of power, who abuse it, and they that have most power, usually abuse it most, and make it but a servant to their lusts and passions; therefore how is it a proof, that the Lord is righteous and will do no iniquity, because he hath the power of all things in his hand, or is Lord over all?
