But it's certain, and 'tis an opinion commonly received amongst the Divines, That the action whereby he now preserveth it, is the same with that by which he created it. From the description of inanimate Bodies and Plants, I pass'd to that of Animals, and particularly to that of Men.
Thus He sweeteneth the water with a wood, preserveth the creatures in the ark, which the blast of His mouth might have as easily created; for God is like a skilful geometrician, who when more easily, and with one stroke of his compass, he might describe or divide a right line, had yet rather to do this in a circle or longer way, according to the constituted and fore-laid principles of his art: yet this rule of His He doth sometimes pervert, to acquaint the world with His prerogative, lest the arrogancy of our reason should question His power, and conclude He could not.
He is every way inferior to his brother Guernsey, but chiefly in those talents which he most values and pretends to; over whom, nevertheless, he preserveth an ascendant.
God preserveth the sanctified, yea, even in the midst of errors. No great Saint lived without errors. A Christian's life consisteth of three points-of faith, love, and the cross. We command a Christian in nothing, he is only admonished. We must curb ourselves in our own wills and minds.
He is righteous and charitable, and preserveth the honour and glory of his ancestors. His justice and clemency are felt in distant regions, and his name will be revered until the last day. When he openeth his mouth he is full of goodness, and his words are as grateful as rosewater to the thirsty.
But Joseph replied, "The Lord executeth judgment for the oppressed." Zuleika: "I will push matters so far that all men will hate thee." Joseph: "The Lord loveth the righteous." Zuleika: "I will sell thee into a strange land." Joseph: "The Lord preserveth the strangers." Then she would resort to enticements in order to obtain her desire.
Since that time the place has never been devoid of votaries, and the great fire has constantly been fed by those anxious to immolate themselves to appease the Crocodile-god." "Ah! he is a great god," Omar observed earnestly. "Yea, O Master, he is indeed all-powerful," answered the aged councillor. "He giveth us life, preserveth us from death, and shieldeth us from evil."
It did not matter that I was crowded and hindered and watched; for it was written also, "He preserveth the way of his saints;" and I was safe. I sat a little while longer alone. Then came a rush and rustle of many feet upon the stairs, many dresses moving, many voices blending in a little soft roar; as ominous as the roar of the sea which one hears in a shell.
It was a neat little book, with gilt edges, no name in it, and having its pages numbered for the days of the year. And each page was full of Bible words. It looked nice. I put the book in my pocket; and on board the ferry-boat opened it again, and looked for the date of the day in March where we were. I found the words "He preserveth the way of his saints." They were the words heading the page.
These are glanced at in the context, 'He also will hear their cry, and will save them'; 'the Lord preserveth all them that love Him. That is to say, there are deeper needs in our hearts and lives than any that are known amongst the lower creatures.
