First, if God give a man an inclination to this or that course for that is the spirit of man; and God is the father of spirits; Rom. 1. 11, 12. 1 Cor. 16. 12.

When God makes roome for us, no binding here, and an open way there, in such a case God tells them, he will appoint a place for them. Vse 2. Secondly, this may teach us in every place where God appoints us to sit downe, to acknowledge him as our Landlord. The earth is the Lords and the fulnesse thereof; his are our Country, our Townes, our houses; and therefore let us acknowledge him in them all.
