Divine Conduct, or The Mystery of Providence

Others (as Calvin) understand it of a mans own retiring thoughts and meditations, wherein a man carefully observes what purposes and designs God hath upon the World in general, or upon himself in particular, and how the Truth and Righteousness of God in the Word work themselves through all difficulties and impediments, and meet in the mercy, peace and happiness of the Saints at last. Every Believer (take it in which sense you will,) hath his Watch-Tower as well as Habakkuk: and give me leave to say, it's an Angelical employment to stand ⟨p. 170⟩upon it, and behold the consent of Gods Attributes, the accomplishment of his Ends, and our own happiness in the works of Providence. For this is the very joy of the Angels and Saints in Heaven, to see Gods Ends wrought out, and his Attributes glorified in the mercy and peace of the Church, Rev. 14. 1, 2, 3. & 8.
