Thus farre concerning the secret motion of the w••••••: now ••oncerning the gouerning of all wo dly or humane actions.

* 1.1The gouerning of all humane actions is a worke of Gods speciall prouidence, where∣by he doth alwayes so gouerne all the actions of men, as pleaseth him.

The parts thereof are the direction of the actions, and the restraint of the wicked.

The direction of the actiōs is the worke of Gods speciall prouidēce, by which God doth so gouerne the actiōs of mē, that they should be able to do nothing, but that which he hath already decreed with himselfe, neither after a∣ny other sort thē that which he hath decreed, that he might also direct it to a good end. Rom. 9.17. and. 11.11.1. Cor. 11.19. Phil. 1.12.2. Thess. 2.11.12. Reuel. 17.17.

The restraint of the wicked, is the worke of Gods speciall prouidence, whereby God doth determine, and limit as it were the pow∣er of the wicked mē, that they should be able to do no more then God suffereth them.
