The Ninth Performance of Providence.
IX.
Thus you see what care Providence hath had over your souls,1 in preventing the spiritual dangers and miseries that else would have befallen you in the way of temptations: in the next place I will show you, that it hath been no less careful for your bodies, 2and with how great tenderness it hath carried them in its arms through innumerable hazards▪ and dangers also.

To display the glory of this Providence before you, let us take into consideration, The perils into which the best of men sometimes fall, and the way and means by which Providence preserves them in those dangers.
