These, however, were most 4 I, 2 | occasions respecting the providence which governs affairs, confirming 5 I, 2 | although he knows not by the providence of what God all this visible 6 I, 2 | temperament, that there is some providence, and that that which exists 7 I, 2 | and they who take away providence appear to have been sufficiently 8 I, 2 | the skill of the divine providence, let us for the present 9 I, 2 | discussing the subject of providence.~ 10 I, 3 | referred to one and the same providence, the whole itself will not 11 I, 5 | in the existence of one providence. For whether it be nature, 12 I, 8 | governed by the power and providence of one God, whose energy 13 I, 8 | impossible for God, who by His providence designed, by His energy 14 II, 9 | THE DEVIL, THE WORLD,GOD, PROVIDENCE, MAN, AND HIS WISDOM.~I 15 II, 9 | arose was made by divine providence, but that it has, and has 16 II, 9 | the wax; so that divine providence ought to have had materials 17 II, 9 | maintainer of the divine providence, and who used very acute 18 II, 9 | denied the existence of a providence, now himself, as a traitor 19 II, 9 | endeavoured to take away providence; in whose case, if you wish 20 II, 9 | the wax; so that divine providence ought to have had materials 21 II, 9 | sensibility, intelligence, providence, power, and vigour, He is 22 II, 9 | world was made by divine providence (not to mention Trismegistus, 23 II, 9 | the world was arranged by providence, than that matter was collected 24 II, 9 | matter was collected by providence.

For the Stoics attribute 33 II, 11| reserved by the will of divine providence, as it cannot be denied, 34 II, 12| there must of necessity be a providence, and they fall into that 35 II, 12| attributes nothing to divine providence, he assuredly does not assert, 36 II, 12| plain that there is a divine providence, to which that which is 37 III, 9 | mind the excellence, the providence, and the power of Him whose 38 III, 17| thought that there was no providence.
