The Second Performance of Providence.
II.
The second great performance of Providence, 1for the people of God, respects the place, and time in which it ordered their Nativity to fall. And truly, this is no small concernment to every one of us, but of vast consequence, either to our good or evil, though it be little minded by most men. I am persuaded, the thoughts of •ew Christians penetrate deep enough into this Providence, but slide too slightly and superficially over an Abyss of much mercy, rich and manifold mercy wrapped up in this gracious performance of Providence for them.
