What advantage is it to us to know that God has created, and by his providence doth still uphold all things.

That we may be patient in adversity;^a thankful in prosperity;^b and that in all things, which may hereafter befall us, we place our firm trust in our faithful God and Father,^c that nothing shall separate us from his love;^d since all creatures are so in his hand, that without his will they cannot so much as move.^e
