while they break holy Commandments, God fulfils his holy Counsels; no thanks to them, yea woe to them. So then, the Lord hath no hurt by sin; which way soever sinners turn themselves, they cannot turn away his Counsels, nor turn from his Counsels: When they are disobeying his revealed will,1 he is doing his secret will, in which God is most righteous, and in his season will lift up his Righteousness and Holiness, his righteous and holy Will, in the face of all the sinners in the world, and they shall know and confess that he hath served his own wise and holy purposes, even in those Providences wherein they have had no purpose, but to serve their foolish and unholy lusts and pleasures. We have an illustrious proof of this, in that extremely evil and unnatural practise of men good in the main, the holy Patriarchs, against their own Brother (Gen. 50.20) who told them plainly, when he meant them no evil, but good, But as for you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it for good; to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
