TWICE Consideration.
TWISSE Consideration.
IF the gifts of grace are given for the same use and end, for which was given Creation and Providence to the Gentiles; then look to what end the gifts of grace are given, to the same end tends the making and governing of the World by God: as much as to say, look to what end tends the Book of Gods Word, to the same end tends the Book of Gods Creatures. And like as ⟨p. 192⟩Christ came into the World for the salvation of all, and every one. So the book of Gods creatures was given for the same end, namely, for the salvation of all and every one; and consequently it followeth (seeing Gods wisdom prescribes congruous means to the end intended by him) that the book of the creatures, is a very congruous means for the salvation of all and every one. But whether this Author will have that knowledge of God revealed in the book of the creatures, tend only to this end, like as he saith, Christ came into the world, only to this end, I know not: Sure I am that Saint Paul saith, that the invisible things of God are made manifest from the creation in his 1works, even his eternal power and Godhead, [Greek or Hebrew], that they might be without excuse.
