1 `on, nay in all theworld,fh,ould joyn together to I make a curious work in a curious frame, per - j'haps they have been leven years in making of " it,and at length bring it toperfeáion, and things 'be made in that order and cxa6tnefs, that it is to admiration, fo that this work is worth more thancan be imagined, becaufeofthecurious art and order in this work : But fuppofe now, one fhould come, and (through ignorance, much more if knowinglie) give it 2 blow and firike it al to pieces 5 what a mifchievous thing were this Certainlie there is this in fin, for there is infinite depth of Counlel and Wifdom of God in letting all things in fratrae, that :one thing fhotild be ferviceable to another; and at length all fhould come to be for Gods lorie. Now there is no Creature call break the order God hath made but Men and Angéls, none but thole Creatures that are capableofSin. And certain lie Sin doth not onlie aim to break Gods order, butdoth it adualIie . Sin brings diforder, and doth break the orderGod hath let: Onlie God byhis nightie Power knows how to bring Sin it IPelf to that, that hewill have his glorie from it, to take occafion at lea fi; b y bring it tob things into their right order again. But were it not that God were of infinite Wit-don) and Power, Sin wouldbreak all that curious workGod h2th made, and bring it all to confufion. Nowwe know Art and Wifdom ads to anie thing; as fuppofe force curious Blinding were all beaten too pieces andRubbifh, therewere no Materi- al Iefs in the Rubbifh than in the Building, only 0 the Exceeding sinfrinefß of sin. 73
