Divine Conduct, or The Mystery of Providence

You pray that the Will of God may be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, and yet when it seems to cross your wills or interests, you ⟨image 145⟩struggle and fret against it. You profess to have committed your souls to his keeping, and to leave your eternal concerns in his hands; and yet cannot commit things infinitely less valuable unto him. How contradictory are these things!

Your Profession as Christians, speaks you to be led by the Spirit, but this practice speaks you to follow the perverse counsels of your own spirits. O then regret no more, dispute no more, but lye down meekly at your Fathers feet, and say in all cases and at all times, the Will of the Lord be done.

And thus I have through the Aid of Providence, performed what I designed to speak from this Scripture. I acknowledge, my performances have been accompanied with much weakness, yet have endeavoured to speak of Providence the things that are right. Blessed be the Lord, who hath thus far assisted and protected me in this work.
