Many things in the nature of Bees when we have most studi∣ously enquired after them, can we not find out and certainly resolve and determine of, as concerning their manner of gene∣ration, the duration and continuance of the Queene-Bee, with their methods and orders in sending forth their first swarme, yet doe we where we are unable to find out certaine grounds
conclude all to be done discreetly and orderly, wisely and won∣derfully. And shall we not suspect and check our shallow con∣ceite and judgement? when it carries us to question and reason about Gods providence, about diverse things below, and not scruple our wisdome, when we cannot see the causes of things, and Gods course in disposing of them, when he deales diversly, and not as we would thinke in our reason, yea and ceasing from our wisdome to search into thing, more then we can compre∣hend. If in finite and small creatures we poore mortalls are of∣ten nonplust and at a stand, let us not be too busie to know the reason of his counsells and doings, but ascribe all to his infinite wisdome.
