1. Great is the Care of God over the Bodies of his people, and all the dangers and necessities of them as they daily grow; your meat and drink are daily provided for you by your Fathers Care. Psal. 111. 5. He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he will ever be mindful of his Covenant. It is from this Care of thy Heavenly Father, that necessary provisions ⟨p. 243⟩have been made for thee, of which it may be thou hast had no foresight: This is the God that hath fed thee all thy life long, Gen. 48. 15. It is from the same care thy body hath been clothed, Matth. 6. 28. How much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? It is through this Care, you sleep in peace, and your rest is made sweet unto you, Prov. 3. 24. When thou lyest down thou shalt not be afraid; yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. In a word, thou owest all thy recoveries from dangerous diseases, and narrow escapes from the grave, to this Care of thy God over thee, He is the Lord that heal•th thee, Exod. 15. 26. That the incensed humours of thy body had not overflowed their banks, like an inundation of the Sea, when they raged in thy dangerous diseases, is only because thy God took the care of thee, and set them their bounds.
