THE greatness of God is a glorious, and unsearchable Mystery. The Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the Earth, Psal. 47. 2. The condescension of the most high God to men is also a profound Mystery. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly, Psal. 13 8. 6. But when both these meet together (as they do in this Scripture) they make ⟨p. 2⟩up a matchless Mystery. Here we find the most High God performing all things for a poor distressed creature.

It is the great support and solace of the Saints in all the distresses that befall them here, that there is a Wise Spirit sitting in all the wheels of motion, and governing the most eccentrical Creatures and their most pernicious designs to blessed and happy issues. And indeed it were not worth while to live in a world [Greek or Hebrew] devoid of God and Providence.
