Now have we explicated and made plain the definition of Gods providence, whereout ariseth a Question greatly to be considered: which is, Whether Gods providence extendeth it self to all things. Ans. Yea.1 to every little thing doth the providence of God extend it self. And that all things, both the greatest and the smallest of them, are ruled by the providence of God, and that his providence is extended to all actions and motions of all creatures, even of those that sin; so that all things, whatsoever are done, come not to pass but by the eternal counsel and purpose of God, either working them, as they have a respect and quality of good in them, or permitting them, as they are sins, but moderating and governing all things, even sin it self, and directing them to his glory, and the safety of his chosen, is evident by this definition. But whereas this doctrine is either unknown unto many, or contradicted by many, it requireth a more ample declaration, and sounder confirmation out of Scripture. That all things therefore, whether small or great, are ordered by Gods providence, is confirmed both by very many testimonies of Scripture, and also by reasons drawn from the nature of God.
