27 And he came by the motion of the Spirit in to the Temple,
27 And he came by the motiō of the Spirit in to the Temple,
Simeon came into the Temple at this time by the providence of God. The worldlings will call it chance, but 1the Evangelist would not chop that in, because it is manifest, that all things come to pass by the providence of God, without which there is nothing done. By this providence Rebecca came forth to wait on her fathers cattle, 2when Abraham's servant prayed, and looked for her coming, that he might take her for Isaac to marry withal. By this providence Saul was anointed king by Samuel, 3when he had no such thought in his heart, but went about seeking for his fathers asses that were lost.
