2 The Providences of God.

The rain, storm, sunshine, seasons –
Every mercy may teach &
Sanctify. Get lessons from all.
Sickness – sorrow afflictions
mortality – death – grave.

IV. The character of it.

Is it instantaneous – saltatory [salutary]
or progressive?
-----------------------------
Not instantaneous.
Not a fire-flash – not a sudden
illumination – That is in beginning
is conversion – on-going of the
state then commenced ~
