Secondly, we must believe that God preserveth ⟨p. 209⟩all: 1so that a sparrow doth not fall to the ground without his providence, and he hath a great care of beasts, and fowls: 2doth the Lord provide for these, and will he not provide for man, for whom these were made, and are are preserved? Hereunto we must join the particular providence of God: Hath he made our bodies, and will he not clothe us: hath he given us life, and will he not minister unto us food for the sustaining thereof? He could provide for the Israelites in the barren wilderness forty years together: yea he could preserve Moses and Elijah forty days without any meat at all: which evidently proveth that Gods blessing is all in all, whether there be means or no means.

He could prouide for the Israelites in the barren wildernsse fortie yeeres together: yea he could preserue Moses and Elias fortie daies without any meate at all: which euidently proueth that Gods blessing is all in all, whether there be meanes or no meanes.
