God the proper Agent in all things. [ 349]
THe Scribe is more properly said to write then the pen; And he that maketh
and keepeth the clock, is more properly said to make it go and strike, then the
wheels and peyzes that hang upon it;* 1.1 and every work-man to effect his work rather
then the tools which he useth as his Instruments: So the Lord, who is the chief a∣gent
and mover in all actions, may more fitly and properly be said to effect and
bring to passe all things which are done in the Earth then any inferior or subordi∣nate
causes, as meat to nourish us, cloaths to keep us warm, the Sun to lighten us,
friends to provide for us, &c. seeing they are but his tools, and Instruments, but as
they are ruled, and guided by the power and providence of so heavenly a
Workman.
