And (which is sweet to consider) all its products §3and issues are exceeding beneficial to the Saints. It performs all things [for them]. 'Tis true, we often prejudge its works, and unjustly censure its designs, and under many of our straits and troubles we say, all these things are against us: but indeed Providence neither doth, nor can do any thing that is really against the true Interest and go•d of the Saints. For what are the works of Providence, but the execution of God's Decree, ⟨p. 8⟩and the fulfilling of his Word? and there can be no more in Providence, than is in them. Now there is nothing but good to the Saints in God's purposes and promises; and therefore, whatever Providence doth in their Concernments, it must be (as the Text speaks) the performance of all things for them.
