A fatal recovery from a promising illness

Has God decreed all things that come to pass? Then there is nothing that falls out by chance, nor are we to ascribe what we meet with either to good or ill luck and fortune.

Again, the glory of one attribute is more seen in one work than in another: in some things there is more of His goodness, in other things more of His wisdom is seen, and in others more of His power. But in the work of redemption all His perfections and excellencies shine forth in their greatest glory.

For the turning away of the simple, shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Go where thou wilt, thou canst not go out of thy Father's ground.
