We read, Amos 3. 3: Can two walk together except they be agreed? If two men travel in one road, it's like they are agreed to go to the same place. Providences and Scriptures go all one way: and if they seem at any time to go diverse or contrary ways; be sure, they will meet at the journeys •nd. There is an agreement betwixt them so to do.

Doth God miraculously suspend the power of natural Causes, as in the first Demand was opened? Why, this is no accidental thing, but what harmonizeth with the word, Isa. 4. 3. 2. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the shame kindle upon thee.
Do natural Causes unite and associate themselves for the good of Gods people? Why, this is no more than what is contained in the Promises, and is but the fulfilling of that Scripture, 1 Cor. 3. 22. All is yours, for ye are Christs; (i. e.) the use, benefit and service of all the Creatures is for you, as your need shall require.
