Worldly things dispensed by God in Wisdom. [ 365]
THere is no wise Physitian gives the same Physick to all Patients, or in the same proportion,* 1.1 but he fitteth it in quantity and quality to every ones need, giving to one a pill to purge him, to another a Cordial to restore him; one must be lanched, another must be healed; one must have sauce to quicken his appetite, another must fast it out, and be cured by abstinence: And thus the Lord in wisdom dealeth with the sons of men, he giveth that allowance to every one which he knows most requi∣site for them, respecting the persons of none, but doing good unto all, as their state and condition doth require;* 1.2 One man is bettered by liberty, another by restraint; One being ingenuous by Nature, is made better by benefits, another of a more ••ervile disposition becomes worse, and is onely mended with threats and punish∣ments; One man is fit to be rich, another to be poor; One for the Court, another for the Cart; Thus every one hath his portion, every one his station allotted by God in his wisdom and goodness.
