Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning the Divine Providence

MY chief design in this following treatise, is so to explain the nature of Providence, as to reconcile men to the belief of it, and to possess-them with a religious awe and rever ence of the supreme and absolute Lord of the world. For it is very evident, that the mistakes about the nature of Providence are the principal objections against it, which tempt some men to deny a Providence, or so weaken the sense of it in others that they are very little the better for believing it. That a Divine Providence does govern the world, I have -proved largely enough for my present design in the Discourse concerning a Future Judgment, cap. I. 3, which I refer my reader to. But that this work might not seem to want a foundation, I have not wholly omitted the proof of a Providence, but have at least said enough to convince those of a Providence who believe that there is a God.
