Riassunto

Excerpt from Sermon Preached in the Audience of His Excellency Caleb Strong, Esq.: Governor, His Honor Edward H. Robbins, Esq. Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable the Council, Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the Anniversary Election, May 28, 1806

NO less evident is it, that he, who created, superin tends all the works of his hand. He, who spake and nature took its birth, does by the agency of his almighty arm continually uphold all things in exist ence. Should that power, which first caused them to exist, be withdrawn ohé moment, they would sink into nothing. It is impossible in the nature of things that a creature should be so made as to exist, one moment, in any respect independently Of the Creator. If it might thus exist now, it might have so existed at first. If it might (fanse itself to exist from one moment. To another, it might have caused itself to exist from the beginning; and so a Creator would have been unne cessary. Every thing, therefore, must be as really and as much dependent on the Deity for continuance in existence as for its first existence.

All things Which exist, from the greatest to the least, are not only constantly upholden by the same power, which first gave them existence, but, in all their motions, actions, and changes, are under the care and direction of Divine Providence. He who first created all things for the best' of purposes, so directs and disposes of every thihg, as, in the' best manner, to answer those purposes.
