2. IT extends it self to All Things Individually: not only to the Kinds or Species of things, but each Individual in the Kind, Psal. 145 15.16. It is not determined or bounded by such & such Beings, but it determines all Second Causes; & is not only the Universal, but also the Particular First Cause of all things. God doth not so look to some things, as to neglect others; and therefore, what was observed of Efficiency in general, is applicable to this part of it; It reacheth to the Greatest things, (Joh 7.12.) It Rules over the Kingdoms &c Empires of the World, (D•n. 4.17.) And it doth not Over-look the Least things, but is concerned in the Numbering of the very Hairs of our Head, (Mat. 10.30.) There are no Beings so high, but He that is higher than they, manageth them with His Providence; not any Beings so contemptible, but He who Cares for the Works of his own Hands, sees to them, and looks after their Affairs.
