1Of the special providence of God over reasonable creatures, the history of Joseph yieldeth us notable testimonies. Ye sent me not hither, but God. When ye thought evil against me, God disposed it to good. Likewise the indurating and hardening of Pharaoh, Exod. 3.4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14. Who hath given the mouth to man, or who hath made the dumb, or the deaf, or him that seeth? Have not I the Lord? Therefore go now, and I will be with thy mouth. The Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid for them, for to morrow about this time I will deliver them all slain before Israel. There failed nothing of all the good things which the Lord had said unto the house of Israel, but all came to pass. The Lord hath bidden him curse David. Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go and fall at Ramoth Gilead? and so forth: Thou shalt entice, and shalt also prevail. The Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord: he turneth it whither-soever it pleaseth him. A prudent wife cometh of the Lord. The mouth of strange women is as a deep pit. He with whom the Lord is angry, shall fall therein. Likewise the Lord calleth the King of the Assyrians the rod of his fury. Who is he then that saith, and it cometh to pass, and the Lord commandeth it not? According to his will he worketh in the army of heaven, and in the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay his hand, nor say unto him, What doest thou? Herod and Pontius Pilate, 2with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel gathered themselves together, to do whatsoever thine hand and thy counsel had determined before to be done.
