Excerpt from The Cordiall of Mr. David Ienkins, or His Reply to H. P. Barrester of Lincolnes-Inne, Answered
'i. That all menywhd'areextraordinarily and immediately. T in this age (which kno'wes of no Oracles, brmtracles remaining) 'god does not immediately, and othérwife then by the fame rovidence (as rules in other humane affaires) either gefigne the perfons, or dif'tinguifh the Prerogative of any Kings or Poren rates. God is not (aid more properly to promote to the Crowne of England Edward the fourth, then Hex ry the fixths nor to make a King of France more un limitable then'a King of England: Thefe things are left to men, 'the fame providence of God attending them, as attends other matters. Yea, the Scripture is mofl cleare-in this, that when God by immediate and extraordinary orders from'heaven did interpofe in'défigning Saul to the'throne of 'ifmel, yet lie-did it by lottery, and did it (0, that Sjaul might be (aid eleéted, and confiitutedby the people, as well as defigned by God. And indeed fince all Princes, Whe ther hereditary, -or elective, whether more abfolute, or more conditionate, Whether inthroned by jufi Tim tlé, or by tortion, and meere force have Commifii ens equally from Heaven: How can we thinke that acts immediately alike in all? Fince Cyrus is as well Gods anoynted in th'ofe Provinces which he a wins by the (word, as in t defcents and the French.
