  God made visible in his workes, or, A treatise of the externall workes of God first, in generall, out of the words of the Psalmist, Psalm 35, 6 : secondly, in particular of the Creation, out of the words of Moses, Genesis, Chap. 1 and 2 : thirdly, of Gods actuall Providence / by George Walker ...

summary:
  THE externall outward workes of God which follow in the next place after his internall workes , are indeed nothing but his actuall execution of his eternall counsell , purpose and decree . If his will or pleasure could be resisted or any thing prevented which he willeth to worke , surely the Divell who is so cunning , watchfull and malitious would in some things have defeated God , or this either by himselfe or some of his instruments :

  eng Providence and government of God. NOtwithstanding that it is most consonant to reason to believe , that he who made the World doth govern it , and that all things are subject to the Laws of Providence , and that the order and course of nature , ( whereby things act regularly , and make up that beauty and harmony , and proportion , which is visible throughout the World ) is not the effect of chance , but of contrivance and design , and owes its original to the divine will , regulated by an infinite wisdom ; yet such is the pride of some , who yet cannot but be conscious of their own defects , and how little they are able to do either of themselves apart , or in conjunction with others , in comparison of what they see done both in heaven and upon earth , as that they will scarce acknowledge God to be supreme , but set up for themselves as absolute , and think to reverse his decrees by their wit and policies , attributing the success of their counsels to the strength of their parts and wisdom , and never referring their defeats and disappointment to his over-ruling power , but to some cross-accident , which they should have provided against ; and then * they cry out upon the extreme malignity and spightfulness of fortune , as they speak , when all their wicked , and devilish policies have been blasted , and proved to be nothing but elaborate folly .

  The interest of divine providence in the government of the world a sermon preached at Guild-Hall-Chappel, before the right honourable the Lord Mayor and aldermen of the city of London, Febr. xi. 1682 / by J. Goodman ...

summary:
  But if it be a publick action he designs , he shall be sure to meet with those will envy and malign him , a second sort will suspect him , and a third will traduce and defame him ; and amongst the rest there will not want those that will find it to be their interest to oppose and hinder him : so that in short , without a special hand of Providence , no man shall have either the heart to undertake , or the power and success to effect any noble action ; but grant this great point , and men are born above envy , opposition , and even above themselves . Sixthly , But Sixthly and lastly , and to speak summarily , Providence is of unspeakable advantage and influence upon the spirits of men , both in prosperity and adversity .

  Of the vvisdom and goodness of Providence two sermons preached before the Queen, at White-Hall, on August 17, 24, MDCXC / by John Moore ...

summary:
  As the firm Belief of Providence is of vast concernment to our Souls , so the Spirit of God has made many declarations of it , and fully set forth all the parts thereof in Holy Scripture , not only how God is pleased to engage himself in making provision for the Children of men , but how his care does extend to the smallest Creatures , and the meanest parts of the Creation . IT would not be easie for men with little Temptation to be drawn into great Sins , if they were fully perswaded that God was present , did behold the Affronts they were putting upon him , and would call them to a strict account for them : Neither would good Christians be so affrighted with the remote appearances of danger , and sink so quickly under Affliction , had they a firm belief that God was ever nigh them , and ready to deliver and support them .

summary:
  By which we are not to understand that the Determination of Events is reduc●d and referred to meer Chance & Fortune , as the Epicurean Philosophers imagined : but that the Counsel and Providence of God disposes and orders out all Successes , or Frustrations of Second Causes , casting in sometimes such unexpected Impediments and Obstructions , as defeat the Labours and hopes of men of greatest Sufficiency ; which though they seem wholly casual and fortuitous Emergencies ( and are so indeed unto men themselves ) Moreover , all the Chances that happen to men , as the Scripture but now mentioned shews , are in the Hand of God.

  Gods providence in the midst of confusion set out in a sermon preach'd at the Savoy, January the 30, 1681, being the anniversary of the martyrdom of King Charles I / by Anthony Horneck.

summary:
  If God takes care of any thing , thinks the sensual Man , it must be of the true Religion , this we must conceive to be his Darling , and if he hath more tender Affections for one thing than another , this we must suppose is the chief Object of his sollicitude : This makes most for his Honour , and his Glory is advanced by nothing so much as by true , and genuine Worship ; This therefore he must be thought to mind and cherish most , and to look upon with the kindest Aspect : But to see this Jewel scorned , derided , affronted , and its lustre darkened by Clouds of Ignorance and Malice : To see this Pearl broken , shattered , and the dust of it dispersed into the various corners of the Earth : To see its Foes live great , and those that touch this Apple of his Eye , brave it in their pleasures : To see them erect their Throne on the Necks of Gods Servants , and securely trample on these supposed Favourites of Heaven ; what can we conclude , but that either this is not the true Religion , or that Providence is careless , and supine in its Protection ? 5. Such another Disorder is , Base and contemptible mens climbing up to the Thrones of Kings , and displacing the true Owners , and usurping their Authority ; When the vilest of Men are advanced to Royalty , and they that were but Subjects a little before , come to sit in their Lords Tribunal : vvhen Persons of the Dregs of the People get up to the highest Povver , and they that vvere but Scum before , come to svvim like Oyl on the top , and throvv dovvn Gods Anointed ; when a Jeroboam from Surveyor of the Kings Works , rises up to be King himself ; and a Zimri that dvvelt in a Cottage before , comes to possess himself of the Royal Palace . Nay , God himself is concerned to see this Justice maintained in Commonwealths , and it is part of his Prerogative to preserve its Laws inviolable , so that it 's being lost in a Corporation , seems to reflect upon him ; and as it was he alone , that first taught Men to gather into Societies , so to let Oppression come among them , which is the Bane , that kills them , to a sensual Eye seems to be no small disparagement to his Providence .

  A divine tragedie lately acted, or A collection of sundry memorable examples of Gods judgements upon Sabbath-breakers, and other like libertines, in their unlawfull sports, happening within the realme of England, in the compass only of two yeares last past, since the booke was published worthy to be knowne and considered of all men, especially such, who are guilty of the sinne or arch-patrons thereof.

summary:
  I shall therefore confine my selfe only to such domesticke examples , as have fallen out in sundry corners of this our Realme within these two yeares , of purpose to refute the * madnesse of those Prophets , who in the Presse and Pulpit ; and the profanes of those people , who in their dauncing-greenes , and may-pole arbors , have bene so audacious , as to affirme , the Profanation of the Lords day by Maygames , Daunces , May-poles , Wakes , and common Labour out of time of divine Service , ( especially after evening Prayer ) to be no sin at all against the 4. Commandement , or any other Law of God or man ; but c necessary and commendable point of true Christian Liberty ( they should have sayd of carnall and heathenish licentiousnesse rather ) from which the people must not be debarred ; But let these blinde guides , and libertines learne from these examples , to correct this their erronious judgment , and practise ; for feare the Lord make them the next examples in this kinde , to teach others to keepe his Sabbaths better , and more intirely for the future . THese Examples of Gods judgements hereunder set downe , have fallen out within the space of lesse then two yeares last past , even since the Declaration for sports ( tolerated on the Lords day ) was published , and read by many Ministers in their congregations ; for hereupon ill disposed people ( being as dry fewell , to which fire being put , quickly flameth forth ; or as waters , pent up and restrained being let loose , breake forth more furiously ) were so incouraged , if not inraged , as taking liberty dispensed , thereby so provoked God , that his wrath in sundry places , hath broken out to the destruction of many , would to God to the instruction of any .

  No King but Jesus, or, The Walls of tyrannie razed and the foundations of unjust monarchy discovered to the view of all that desire to see it wherein is undeniably proved that no king is the Lords anointed but Jesus ... / by Henry Haggar.

summary:
  Which things having been by me considered in some measure , according to the understanding the Lord hath given me , I finde my self in conscience bound , and by love and pity constrained , to speak what I know and am sure of , to others ; having learnt it chiefly out of the Scriptures , and somewhat by considering the times , and the conditions of men in these days of danger and peril , in which so many make shipwrack of faith and a good conscience : I therefore am bold to present these lines to the view both of friends and enemies ; by which I shall discharge my duty towards God and man in some good measure , and shall be at peace in my self , when I know I have not hid my talent in a napkin , nor kept back any thing that might be profitable to my country-men & acquaintance amongst whom I live . Therefore I exhort you , and every of you ( professing godliness in sincerity ) in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ , and by the mercies that we have received from him , and by him from God our Father , that we may with all diligence labour and exercise our selves ( as our beloved brother Paul hath given us an example , Act. 24.15 , 16. ) to have always Consciences void of offence , both towards God , and towards man .

  An enquiry into the nature, necessity, and evidence of Christian faith. Part I. Of faith in general, and of the belief of a deity by J.C.

summary:
  4. All the Actions of every one are to be Approved or Condemned , with a regard to this Faith , and by vertue of it , things , in themselves good and lawful , become evil , and what is evil loseth a part of its malignity . The same reason which makes it Just , and our Duty to act according to our Knowledge , and inward Perswasion , or to do the Good we know , obligeth us to search out the real Good that is , that there may be no Errour in our Perswasion , nor Crookedness in our Practice ; and then only our Thoughts can justifie our Actions , when , by Diligence and due Care , we have endeavoured to make our Thoughts just and true , conform to the Nature of things ; for without this , we cannot be fully perswaded in our Minds , as the Apostle enjoineth ; the assurance of Faith is wanting , which is necessary to dispel all doubts , and to establish our goings .

  The ballance of the sanctuarie shewing hovv vve must behaue our selues when wee see and behold the people of God in miserie and oppression vnder the tyranny of their enemies. Written by William Teelinck, minister of the Word of God at Midlebrough in Zealand.

summary:
  I answere , although instantly by Gods ordinary or extraordinary workes wee cannot conceiue Gods fauour and affection towardes men , nor mans state in regard of God , thereby to take occasion , specially , for the same to prayse the Lord our God , and to seeke after him ; notwithstanding when we once well know & perceiue mans state in regard of God , and our owne or any other mens speciall state in that kind , wee may by the ordinary workes of God here done amongst men , learne and conceiue many good things ; as for example , when we know a man to be one that truely feareth God , and yet see that notwithstanding many crosses and troubles befall him , and happen to him in this life , we may thereby learne , That God the righteous Iudge of all the world , findeth cause & matter enough , when it pleaseth him , To try the best men that liue here on earth , by laying great tribulations vpon them , and by many miseries to proue their patience , When wee see therefore that the wrath of God is reuealed from heauen , against all vngodlinesse and vnrighteousnesse of men , Rom. 1. 18. we may thereupon certainely conclude , That there is something wanting in men , and that for many causes man deserueth punishment for sin , which God disliketh , Rom. 3. 23. and thereby we may further learne , that sinne is the mother of all miseries , and that there is nothing in the world which we should with more care & caution , hate , shun , and abhor , then sinne , as the onely thing that moueth our Creator to dislike of vs , and maketh all vs that are his creatures abhominable in his sight .

  Gods unchangeableness: or Gods continued providence, in preserving, governing, ordering and disposing of all creatures, men, actions, counsels and things, as at the beginning of the world, so to the end of the world, for ever, according to the counsel of his own will. From whence is gatherd six necessary inferences very applicable to the changes, alterations and vicissitude of these our present times. Wherein is clearly demonstrated and proved, that Oliver Cromwell is by the providence of God, Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland, &c. to whom the people owe obedience, as to him whom God hath set over them. Unto which is added, the causes of discontent, repining and murmurings of men: also, some serious advertisements, and seasonable admonitions to the discontented, and reprehensions to all impetuous, arrogant murmurers. Together with answers to some cheif objections made against the Lord Protector and his present government, endeavouring (if possible) satisfaction to all men. / Therefore written and published for publicke good, by George Smith, Gent.

summary:
  On the other side , if our nature being universally corrupted by Adam's fall , all possibility of rising out of that grave of sin be the effect and benefit of the Grace , as that is of the death of Christ , if it be God that worketh in us both to will and to do , of his good pleasure , the first by his preventing , the second by his assisting Grace , and both those bottom'd meerly in his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 good pleasure , nothing in us any way meriting the first act , or purpose of Giving Grace , any farther then our wants and miseries rendered us the proper objects of his compassions and reliefs ; and the subsequent aids in like manner challengeable , onely from his promise , and the purport of the parable of the Talents , of Giving to him that hath , rewarding the use of the lower , with the gift of an higher degree of Grace , then still is this , the attributing nothing to our selves , but demerits , and provocations , and giving the whole glory to God. § . 12. And then to put any man in hope , that what is not ordinarily revealed in the Gospel , may yet be laid up for him in the cabinet of Gods secret counsels with this seal upon it , The Lord knoweth those that are his , as if they might be his still in Gods acceptation , which walk most contrarily to him , this may prove a most dangerous snare of souls , and it is strange it should seek shelter in that Text 2. Tim. 2. 19. which was most expresly designed to the contrary , as is evident both by the notation of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the beginning of the verse , which in all probability signifies the Covenant of God , the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 stability whereof , there prest , must assure us that there is no salvation to be expected , but according to the contents of that great indenture , once for all sealed in the blood of Christ , of which as that indeed is one part , which is inscribed on one side of the seal [ The Lord knoweth those that are his ] i. e. he will never fail to own those that continue faithfull to him ; so the other , on the other side , is most emphatical , [ Let every man that nameth the name of Christ , depart from iniquity ] which if he do not , he hath forfeited all the Priviledges of his Christianity .

summary:
  Some would aggravate the fact , and say , that he caused her breasts to be torne off , ( she being yet alive ) and cast to the dogges to be eaten , but that had been a cruelty beyond nature , for a son to exercise upon a mother ; now whilest these things were in ag●●ation , Aegistus had gathered an Army for the raising of the ●●ege , and reclaiming the City , of which Orestes having intelligence , ambu●hed him in his way , and had such good successe , that having incompassed him in , he set upon his Forces , both before and behinde , routed them , and took Aegistus prisoner , whom after he had put to the greatest tortures that humane apprehension could invent or devise , he commanded his body to be hanged in chaines upon a gibbet without the City , the place where malefactors were executed ; there to remain till it dropped thence limbe from limbe : all this comming to the ear of the adulterate brood Esyone , ( who was said to have been accessary to the death of Agame●nón ) she in extreme sorrow for the disaster happened to her father and mother , despairing , strangled her selfe , and Orestes after he had more considerately pondered his cruelty towards his mother , which ( how soever just ) had better to have come from any mans hand than his own , and further , that in the mouthes of all men he was held no better than a matricide , ( a name hatefull both to God and man ) he upon this grew into a great melancholy , and from melancholy to madnesse , never being able to recover his senses after .
